Re: About to perform first liver flush. My story and reaching out for much needed advice/insights

Hey, I'm just going to give you a bunch of bullet point statements based on my own research & experience. :-)


Your symptoms sound very much like Candida & Liver congestion.

But one must remember.. Everything is connected.. So other things may be out of wack too..

Candida and heavy metals are closely linked.

Candida is also closely connected to estrogen. (aluminum is an estrogenic Metal)

If the liver & gut is not eliminating estrogens, they build up in the system (candida loves this)

Be very careful with most liver cleansing herbs, many are estrogenic.. (candida likes it.. :-/ ) and they may have too strong of an effect.

BEFORE doing the liver cleanse, I'd go to a colonic or get a colema board. (if your gut is FULL you will feel miserable on the Liver Flush day.. If it's EMPTY, You can sleep. :-D)

I'd get the colema board from 'raw food world'. but, you may want to look to see if there is anyone closer to you.

coffee enemas may help, they are good for helping liver congestion & candida..
 but be careful if your really sensitive. I'd start with a tablespoon of coffee and see your feelings with it. Sometimes they make me feel great.. Other times they make me feel jittery (I'm unsure if it's the caffeine or the cleansing effect) a half hour before doing them, take chorella or charcoal (these will help absorb the toxins put out by your liver)

The coffee may give you a temporary relief from being unable to focus. 

The liver cleansing guy says coffee enemas may be good if you can't do the full on liver flush or are concerned with doing it at the time being: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DyAOHYIGZw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

The cold feeling is highly likely to be liver related.

Don't do magnesium supplements for awhile and see if the coldness goes away (for me, being cold was directly connected to me taking a magnesium supplement & doing topical magnesium)

Coconut oil helped me feel warm, when I had 'cold flash' and general 'cold' feelings. Both eating it in stuff and topically rubbing it all over your body after a nice hot shower. It seems to help the body to retain the heat.

Don't take calcium supplements. (look up David Wolfe & calcium)

DO look into eating a little organic meat (conventional has antibiotics & hormones aka estrogens.. Both candida loves..) the meat may help you feel stronger and more stable. (I have to have meat, or I feel weak) it may make you feel exhausted.. But the next day you may feel a bit more vitality (that's what used to happen to me) good quality salmon may be a good place to start.. Then Buffalo.. (or if your lucky to get some venison) for me, red meat feels more strengthening.. Salmon more energizing.

Don't follow the low salt/no salt thing.. Just salt your food to taste with a good seasalt.. (I avoided salt for awhile and had miserable consequences)

Be careful with the zapper, that thing made me get a serious candida issue. (not sure if it was die off..)

I recently came across this one chiropractor. He is the first one that has truly helped me! He is TOTALLY AWESOME! Here's his website if you want to look into him: http://www.myholistichealth.net


According to the liver cleansing guy, raw garlic is toxic.. (I'd almost believe it.. I ate it like crazy 3 years ago.. I don't think it helped me...): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGMbAQNXlCY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Oh, also. When you do the liver cleanse, take 4 caplets of L-ornithine. It helps you sleep and makes you have less nausea (if you have it). Someone else's liver clease suggested it and it worked well.


I'll look over the whole thread, but did you ever mention what IS in your diet right now?

(I am also gluten free and eat only organic. But I bet our diets are very different. Which is completely normal... Everyones diet changes drastically depending on the season and what one is going through at any given moment.) 
I'm just wondering if anything specifically needs to be added or removed.. Or changed to be better. :-)


Can't think of anything else at the moment. I wish you the best!
