Re: easy bowel recipe for first timer?

Hi Starlight, The cleanse with the Olive-Oil and the Epsom Salt is a gallbladder/liver cleanse. Its an important cleanse and more information can be found in the Liver Flush Forum .
An easy and inexpensive way to cleanse your bowels is by using P&B shakes. The "P" is psyllium, either powder or whole husk; the "B" is bentonite, a liquid volcanic clay. The Bentonite absorbs toxins in the bowel, they are not released back into the colon, but are carried out of the body. It can absorb both organic and inorganic toxins. Psyllium is a high fiber plant material. The insoluble fiber sweeps the intestines clean of debris clinging along the walls including old mucus and fecal material. The insoluble fiber is supposed to help remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream. Psyllium helps improve transit time of material through the bowel, helping keep the colon clean from new toxins.
To make the shakes, mix one tablespoon of Bentonite into 8 oz. of pure water (some say to use distilled, but I usually just use filtered water), stir in one teaspoon of powdered psyllium (or one tablespoon of whole husk) and quickly drink, follow this immediately with another glassof water. Some people also stir in the juice of one lemon to improve the taste. The shake doesn't taste bad, but the texture takes some getting used to. Make sure you drink lots of water all day long because the psyllium can absorb up to 40x its weight in fluids. It you don't drink enough, you might get constipated. If your bowels are slow to move you can take a Cascara Sagrada capsules or drink laxative tea to get them going. Its better to let nature take its time so the psyllium can scrape away old debris.
There are many pre-packaged colon cleansing programs on the market. I like the shakes because they are effective and inexpensive. A couple of weeks ago I passed seven feet of fecal material in two days, most of it was mucoid plaque, studded with parasites. It sounds gross, but cleansing is all about getting the gross stuff out.
