Hi again, Rachel.

I haven't tried the 'are you stoned?' recipe...but I have tried Hulda Clark 's Liver Flush using only a tsp of epsom at night and a teaspoon of epsom in the morning (first flush). I got out my biggest stones that first flush with barely any Epsom Salts .

I know Stonehedge doesn't use Epsom Salts , but follows Hulda Clark 's recipe.

You don't sound like you're doing the Hulda Clark , though? Hers is 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/2 to 3/4 cup freshly squeezed (pink is yummiest!) grapefruit - shake it up, it emulsifies and drink it back. Maybe you should try that flush without the Epsom Salts ?

Just take a glass of apple juice instead of the Epsom Salt water, at night (that's what I did) (2times)...and the same in the morning.

Maybe Stonehedge or Blueduck will have some tips for you...they don't use epsom salts.

Good luck Rachel...and let us know how the next one goes.

Maybe you need to do a Bowel Cleanse too? I know you said that you tend to feel down and low after the flushes...did you know that 90% of seratonin is synthesized in the gastrointestinal tract?? (PTree's research - thanks!) Yup...so cleaning out your tract will help all round. Check out the post titled: Elimination, Assimilation, Relaxation, etc. on the Edgar Cayce Forum!

Let us know how it goes!

Rachel,
I do not use Epsom Salts . I tried it once, never again. My best flush is when I use a cup and a half of olive oil and the juice of six lemons. I take big swallows of the oil with a straw, and chase it with sips of lemon juice. It takes me about an hour to get it all down. The best time to start, for me, is at 10 PM. I do as Hulda recommends, not eating after 2PM. (I do sip at water if I get thirsty before drinking the oil) If I get nauseated after drinking the oil, I sip V-8 juice. I have also sniffed peppermint oil for nausea which helps also. I know that this amount of oil sounds awful....but it works for me so I willingly do it...anything it takes to prevent gall bladder surgery!!
I hope this helps. Good luck!!

Hey Rachel, I never use Epsom Salts . I use Julia Chang's recipes from sensible health. I eat low fat all day and then drink the olive oil and grapefruit juice in the evening. I got a lot of stones(big too) yesterday but I just remember what I did different. She says if you get a stone stuck you can use Epsom Salts in water, but you can also use a tablespoon each of curcuma and coptis. I had a bottle of coptis so I took a tablespoon of it before the olive oil mixture.(not because I had a stone stuck) I was concerned about getting a stone stuck now that I am passing bigger ones. I like Julia Chang's recipes, she also has an applejuice fast recipe which was my first flush. There are some people who shouldn't do this one like if you have hypoglycemia, candida, diabetes etc.... I got these papers from her a few years ago and this was the website then, jchang@sensiblehealth.com I hope it's still the same if not others on this forum will now as I have seen her name mentioned often. Go to the site to get the specifics. I tried Hulda's flush and the salts just kept coming up seconds after I sent them down. It probably would have been a good flush if they stayed down!
