Hi,
I have been doing liver cleanses (the o/o lemon juice Epsom Salts ) for eight years. Although since the birth of my child I have only done one in three years. I hate them, hate them, hate them but I have to do them! I had pain off and on in my side in my late teens and early twenties. But then in 2002, I just started almost suddenly belching continually. (my most annoying symptom) My eyes were very yellow. I went to many doctors who could not help and treated my as if I were imagining my misery. One doctor did take out my gall bladder- but this did not help. I was beyond discouragement and very suicidal. Eventually God led me to a naturalpath doctor who told me about liver cleanses. Until I was rock bottom desperate I was very antagonistic against "Natural" things. I tried the cleanses only as a last resort. And through much prayer and about 40+ liver cleanses I fully recovered. No belching. (or just normal) No pain. No more constant misery! I followed this forum but never became an actual member. All these years I have felt compelled to tell my story on this forum and help someone else out there who felt the same kind of discouragement as myself. Shame on me for waiting so long. ;-) God has blessed me with good health, and now I have a great supportive husband and beautiful baby! Sadly, I have gone back to many of my bad eating habits. And so I am here again today on the forum trying to inspire myself to do the liver cleanse I am attempting tonight. My husband told me my eyes looked a little yellow again so I'm getting to work right away to unclog my liver! Thanks for listening to me. Hope this helps someone out there! :-) happy flushing
I did 10 flushes but so far only the 5th flush produced stones and around hundreds of them. The rest of the 9 flushes no stones at all! I dont know what did i do wrong.
CONGRATULATIONS! 10 flushes is GREAT and how are you feeling? Forget about the stones.....each flush is so different and a Liver Flush is like digging through HARD DIRT.....it takes a lot of effort (many times) to get anywhere.....BUT IT WORKS!
Just keep going. You will have some that you release a TON and some that you don't release much at all but it is better out then in (one of my flushes I released TONS of chemicals which BURNED BURNED BURNED.....no stones)
Keep Going and GOOD LUCK
You probably should go by how you feel more than anything since I think that many times the stones come out slower days later- even in stool- And might be so small that it's mixed in and you can't readily see. (I don't know this by dissection by the way, but I do recall once looking down in the pot and seeing this once when it was large and obvious)
Are you laying quiet and still on your right side at least for the first couple hours of the night? Immediately after you take the o/o and lemon juice? (or grapefruit juice) (I don't know how well the grapefruit juice works) I don't know if laying STILL on the right side for the first few hours is really the trick, but I think my best cleanses were when I did that and did it immediately. I don't always even use a pillow to prop my head but lay as flat as possible on my side of course. Maybe all the technicalities are just a bunch of hooey though??? It is all kind of a mystery.
It's possible that it took you five cleanses to get them loosened up enough to come out in the first place and now you may just need to wait longer for more stones to fall forward. If the whites of your eyes are clear (not yellowish) you may not have any blocking your bile at this point. But again it's all kind of a mystery. I don't know if you've ever considered a Bowel Cleanse or have done one but I know it's highly recommended by some and before I did any cleanses my naturalpath doc had me do a 5-7 day psyllim and Bentonite cleanse. I admit though, I would totally dread doing one again.... but I was near dead. lol.
:-) Hope this helps. Don't give up. Feel free to ask more questions anytime.
