Hi, Shelley
I have a friend who swears by using Kombucha instead of apple juice prior to doing a liver flush.
What's your opinion on this?
Thank you.
PS Love your advice, have been reading the archives :)
I don't know whether the acids in Kombucha would have the same affect on the stones (we drinkt he apple juice for the stone-softening affect) so I would recommend that they take Malic Acid pills or Liquid Phosfood in addition to the Kombucha, but the Kombucha is such an awesome idea I think everyone should consider it both before AND after a flush.
LOL! well, remember, it's only what I knew at that particular time. :) I totally reserve the right to update my opinions and change my mind about things. :)
Hi Shelley
Well, I did the flush, but did not get much out (only about 40 small ones, so there goes that theory... :) )...
But now I'm thinking: since this was my 8th flush, am I finally "stone-free", or should I do something alse to try to get any "left overs" out?
I still get occasinal "pinging" in my right side, get headaches and genarally feel "toxic' quite often. Will this stop now?
(Maybe I'm so used to feeling crummy, I'm getting ahead of myself...)
Also, I'm not sleeping much, and it's starting to get to me. I can be dead tired, go to bed, and wake up in 15 min. Then I'll sleep for 3-4 hrs, and will then (yawning) stay up for the rest of the night.
Please let me know what you think,
thank you..
PS If you would like a Kombucha baby, I'd be happy to mail you one (gratis, of course)... :)
awwww! thanks for the offer! :) Right now I have no place to store it - I'll be doing some refurbishing soon so....
Whenever you feel ill, think bowels, not liver. Nothing will make you sick like a toxic colon!!! I mean, it doesn't help to have a congested liver, obviously, but for really FEELING bad it's usually the colon first and foremost. So keep up with your cleansing there, colonics and/or fiber/herbs, and you should start feeling SO much better! :) And if you don't, then you can assume there's more going on, like more liver congestion and possibly leaky gut. I would definitely take some herbs to complete the liver cleansing.
The right side pain could be due to irritation or parasites. If it doesn't go away, consider testing for the larger parasites - the notes in the FAQ explain how to expel them so you can verify whether you have any.
For a good night's sleep, can you tolerate milk at all? If you simmer milk with plenty of nutmeg, ginger, a cinamon stick, then add honey to the mug, that might be just enough to help you pass a pleasant night. If it's not, consider making a valerian tea (see Elixers post in FAQ, I think there's one there for sleep?). And increasing calories overall can help sleep too.
Hi Shelly,
I had taken accutance for my acne fr. 1999-2003 (3 YEARS) at a low dosage (20mg) a day...and decided to come off after my hair loss was unbearable....It has been over a year...I lost half of my hair due to accutane (a cursed treatment)My hair has not grown back yet..I think it is necessary to totally dispose off the accutane from my liver...Since i am still suffering from its side-effect (hair loss) and believed accutance must have still retained in my body, probably liver..
I learnt about the liver, colon flush thingy...but i am not keen on the idea of flushing...
I am currently taking Milk thistle capusles to detox my liver...but i think that is simply not sufficient in getting rid off the accutane. I have also come across this detox program from Hilde Hemmes, a herbalist from Australia where you have to drink organic vegetable juice and soup for a least six days for all toxins to be eliminated from body...I have only tired for one day and came it off because i just could not withstand the hunger.I was so energyless for the whole day..too bad..Shelly, i do hope you will have a better idea for alternative to liver/colon flushing... I will appreciate any ideas you may come up with Shelly...Thanks !
