Yes, do it when you not ill, I am all for that that. My personal position is

to wait until my body had regained a modicum of strength to do anything like

liver flushes or garlic enemas. I am sure I would react strongly to garlic now;

since anything that has a strong taste/smell gives me a major reaction.

Nevertheless, I'd like to know more about liver flushes. Are there other

kinds besides coffee enemas?

Hi Francine, The so-called " liver flush " isn't a type of enema. The liver

flush is a sequence of things you drink that's supposed to clear some

" stones " out of your liver. For example, I think you start with drinking a

little water with some Epsom salts and then, as I recall, you have a little

olive oil mixed with grapefruit juice. Then you repeat it in a couple of

hours. I'm sure that others here know a lot about it, I certainly don't --

was just curious. There's another kind of " liver flush " I've heard of where

you ingest large amounts of vitamin C gradually and " to tolerance " . Bee's

talked about it I think? I don't know about that either and, at least for

now, wouldn't even dream of doing any kind of flush until I feel better.

personally i feel that liver flushes are far too drastic. i did test it out

to know what it's like, but i'd never recommend one to anyone. remember

that whatever is coming out, your body has to deal with. i'd rather see

someone drink a month's worth of dandelion and burdock roots tea for a slow

healing than do a day or two of liver flushing...

I have done a version of the liver cleanse described below a few times. I

have encapsulated the epsom salts and find that makes the whole thing much

easier to handle. I just could not make myself drink the salts dissolved

in water. It as hideous. The end process - grapefruit juice mixed with

olive oil - is a bit uncomfortable, but tolerable. The end result is

amazing. You can see little (mine ranged from pin-head to grape sized)

green balls that you've been storing in your liver and gall bladder

flushing out of your body. They say that these balls might have ended up

as stones sometime down the road.

However, if you're one of those people with diarrhea or an easily upset

tummy, you might want to wait on the cleanse. Having a lighter liver will

make handling foods a lot easier, but if you can't keep the olive oil or

salts down, then there's no point in even trying until your digestive tract

is in better shape.

Looking forward to a great more healthy weekend,

Dear Katja,

Right on Katja. I agree with you that one is much better off

drinking good " whole-food " teas for a slow healing rather than a day

or two of liver flushing. Doing a liver flush when one is ill could

even throw the body into total shock. Shock is not a very pretty

thing to experience. I've had it once in my lifetime, caused by a

cyst that suddenly ruptured, and my skin was " literally " grey. At

the time I was otherwise very healthy but I couldn't get out of bed

for 5 days. It was one the most traumatic experiences of my life.

It wasn't the rupture, it was the resultant " shock " it put my body

through that was so awful.

The best to you Katja,

Bee
