Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Sources on the net seems to be very split as to the safety of this. Duncan, and others, your opinions would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 In my opinion the flush should be safe for practically everyone because it induces normal bodily functions. The gallbladder squeezes every time you eat fatanyway, the diarrhea has been visited on us all, and the relaxation from magnesium intake has not been shown to be toxic or anything when used periodically, which it has been, as a dose of salts, for ages.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 That being said, Bez, the body has avenues for toxic waste, and breast milk is not one of those avenues. The question referred to the safety of liver flushes and the magnesium used; this should not induce any toxin purging at all into milk, and should IMO reduce that because they facilitate the liver's breaking them down and also purging them into the stool instead.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 If there is any doubt regarding the safety of liver/gallbladder while nursing, or especially when pregnant, then I would say don't do it. Do you really want to take chances with the well being of your unborn baby? _________________________________________________________________ Txt a lot?

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Well, I tried the Kelley flush last night, but didn't see any stones this morning!?! Also my tounge looks just as toxic as ever. So I have more questions, as a result. First, I skipped the apple juice and phosporic acid, per Duncan's earlier post that this is acceptable. I also made a few changes, as written below. Questions are: 1) I wasn't really strict with the timing. Some sources say this is critical. IS it really that critical? For example, Instead of being done eating by 1pm, I was done at 3. I took 2tbls MgSO4 at 5ish, did the coffee enema at 7ish, next MgSO4 dose around 8, ate something (see question 2 below) around 9:30, then drank the oil close to midnight. Could this have caused problems? 2) Since I'm eating a strict anti-candida diet, I was not going to eat the cream/fruit/ice cream as reccommended. Instead, I ate my " whey shake " as I felt it would approximate a high fat dairy snack. Ingredients: 25g whey, 2tbls butter, 2tbls coconut oil, 1 heaping tsp inulin, vanilla extract, in ~12 oz water. Could this have caused problems? 3) Once the MgSO4 started kicking in, I knew the potential for dehydration was very real, as it felt as though all the water in my body was being sucked into my intestines. So, I drank a large volume of salty lemon water (to replace electrolytes) and salty broth to counteract this. But reading other liver flush protocols, I found one that said not to eat OR drink anything after 2pm. Could drinking alot have caused problems with the flush? Is it not wise to be concerned about the dehydation from the MgSO4? 4) Finally, once I laid face down with my right leg up for the 30 minutes, I didn't hear anything going on in my body. BUT when the timer went off, I went to the bathroom, then went to bed, laying on my back. At this point, there was ALOT of activity, squishing, etc. Could this be the source of problems? Since I have read that most people who do not see stones have a false negative, I plan to try again in about 4wks, so any help " refining " my techniques would be helpful. I suspect there were problems with my routine. Please bear in mind that I am a nursing momma so things like fasting are not an option for me. Also I cannot wait to wean my son as I plan to nurse him until I am pregnant with my next child. Finally, I am not willing to ingest anything like apple juice that would perpetuate dysbiosis. Thank you Duncan (and others) for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 One more thing...several souces say to eat a no-fat breakfast and lunch the day of the flush. Almost nothing I am eating on my candida diet is no-fat, and the only low fat things would be sardines, chicken breast, maybe some cuts of red meat, and vegetables. How critical is this issue? Thanks again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 The more I check into this, the more it seems that the flush is very safe to do, and Duncan agrees per his post. It just makes sense to clean up my own body, as the health of my children is directly related to my own health. But thanks for the concern.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I am not familar with this flush, I did the Hulda one, and rather than apple juice, you take Malic Acid caps for 5 days before you start the flush (which is why I haven't redone it yet, becuase I keep FORGETTING to start the Malic Acid caps!) With the Hulda one, you finish eating at 1, eat low-fat for the week prior and take the malic acid. You juice 1.5 grapefruits, mix with epsom salts and chug it down. Do it again in so many hours (I've forgotten, not n front of me at the moment), then before bedtime you do it again with olive oil. Then you lay on your right side and sleep that way for the night. Have one more dose in the am, then can continue eating normally around noonish. I am hypoglycemic, and was VERY surprised that I didn't feel worse without eating, but I did OK. I didn't see any stones either, and I followed the protocol to the letter.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi! Sorry to hear the flush didn't produce any stones for you, that's dissapointing. I'm also a nursing mom and have done 2 liver flushes. The first one I did was s Moritz's flush in the files section. I used the Malic Acid for 6 days instead of the apple juice and followed the timing very closely, I had alot of stones, I was amazed! I ate normally for the preceding week but had a low fat lunch the day of the flush, chicken breast and steamed veggies and I broke the fast the following day with steamed veggies. I didn't notice a drop in milk supply at all. the fast is only a half day. I actually enjoyed the grapefruit/olive oil concoction, it was delicious. THe second one I did was the flush, I was off on my timing but did follow the steps and I had very few stones. So the timing seems to be important. My dh also did a L/G flush and delayed the timing a couple hours and he had some stones but not alot. I am doing another one on the full moon this month and I am going to go with the s Moritz flush. He also recommends not eating any cold foods for a week before the flush, I will try that, too. I'll let you know how it goes.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 For some reason I cannot open the s Moritz file....guess I'll try later, but I'd like to look at this protocol. I too plan on doing another flush around the full moon, as that would be two weeks from my first flush. And as it turns out, I did get a few tiny greenish stones later in the day after I posted that I had none. I am definitely encouraged to try again! Thanks !

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I think you did it all right, . No stones on the first flush is usually a false reading. The flushes are usually repeated several to a dozen or so times a couple or so weeks apart. Duncan > > Well, I tried the Kelley flush last night, but didn't see any stones this morning!?!

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 When an approach contains no danger, one should not be confused by anyone's unnecessary fear either People have been using all those ingredients since time immemorial without mishap.
