hi,
I often feel terrible after doing the flush for a day, tired, brain fog, spaced out feeling, I am also detoxing mercury, so I am thinking the brain fog after the Liver Flush could be the release of mercury and other metals accumulated in the liver into my bloodstream ?
These symptoms are also consistent with dehydration which is linked to electrolyte balance.
One of the reasons for taking the Epsom Salts is to ensure that toxic bile is expelled and not reabsorbed into the blood stream of the portal vein.
Once a segment of the liver is decongested and providing lifestyle changes are made then the liver will detoxify itself naturally over a period of a year, at a rate that shouldn't cause a reaction. Unfortunately if one adopts a number of cleansing protocols simultaneously this can lead to a Herxheimer reaction (also known as Jarisch-Herxheimer or Herx) occurs when large quantities of toxins are released into the body.
Ive wondered the same thing. Ive completed 37 liver cleanses over the course of 7 yrs & have benefited greatly, but some cleanses left me drained for 2-3 days post flush. Additionally, I tested positive for mercury about 5 yrs ago and began a proper mercury removal/chelation protocol. (Andrew Cutler: low dose then switched to high dose)
After completing many liver cleanses you start to hit a stride and become attuned to what your body is trying to tell you. Initially I chalked up my difficult 2-3 post liver cleanse days to my body absorbing/processing deeply stored toxins within the liver.
Then i got curious and wondered what would happen if I chelated my mercury the day of my liver cleanse & the 2-3 days that follow. Eureka! That was it. Now my liver cleanses leave me feeling great; even during that dreadful next morning.
So I'm convinced that a cleanse releases toxins (namely mercury) then DMSA & ALA effectively attract and excrete the body's mercury burden.
I wish you the best in your pursuit for health.
Scott
PS: Please exercise a generous amount of knowledge & caution when going down the path of proper mercury chelation.
