You can take magnesium citrate instead of magnesium sulfate (epsom salts.) It’s the magnesium the relaxes the bile ducts. Magnesium sulfate relaxes the ducts and is also a rather efficient laxative. Since the citrate form doesn’t have quite the same diarrhetic affect as the sulfate, the addition of a coffee enema the evening of the flush and another the morning after may help clear the bowels before releasing ’stones’ and then the morning one may help clear the ’stones’ out.

(Apologies for butting in) YES! You can take a small dose of epsom salts while having the pain you mentioned earlier.

The amount of water from a colema is much higher than from an enema. The amount of water used in a colonic is much higher than that.

Think of washing at the sink (enema,) or under a water hose (colema,) or in a full jet shower (colonic.)

Cleansing and diet will definitely help, but it sounds like there are environmental issues that MUST be dealt with, too. My husband developed a similar cough while working in a very enclosed, overcrowded office. When I visited, it reminded me of childhood vacations and my grandmother’s dank, musty, moldy old basement. Nothing we did seemed to help the cough until he found another job. Once he wasn’t exposed to the mold and mildew anymore, his cough cleared up fairly rapidly. Call in a mold inspection professional to do some mold tests; make sure they check behind baseboards and sink ...

Noticed a lack of response to a similar question a week or so ago, so, inquiring research ferret that I am, I decided to check it out. Ingredients are natural and seem to contain a mix of various (some which can be rather strong) laxatives and psyllium fiber. You could probably buy the ingredients separate and have enough on hand for numerous ’blows.’ Since it was not too expensive, though, I figured I’d order and give their blend a test run. The order came about 2 days sooner than I thought, very fast. I’ll post back with results.   [End]

I think your three step idea is an excellent start, but your body will know for sure if it’s right for you. Do keep in mind that Even After Bowel Cleansing, anything you eat the day before the flush could still be ’hanging around’ waiting to soak up toxins and stray ’stones’, which is why Clark recommends magnesium sulfate over magnesium citrate as epsom salts are a rather strong diarrhetic. As long as you remember to do something to help get the stones out FAST, you should be fine with whatever protocol you choose.

The coke flush doesn’t mention magnesium sulfate (epsom salts) because it uses magnesium citrate to relax the ducts instead. It is also relying on the phosphorus in the coke.

If your bowels are working well and are clean before you flush and you take the epsom salts as in the Hulda Clark flush the oil doesn’t stay in your system long. There is a chance a liver flush *may* make skin breakouts worse for a few days afterward but that’s due to the release of trapped toxins - not the olive oil. Better out than in. If this ’overload’ happens it will quickly pass in few days. A sluggish or clogged liver can cause all kinds of skin issues.

Forgive the over simplification: The magnesium in epsom salts helps relax the bile duct tissue by reducing striated muscle contractions thus allowing the ducts to ’stretch,’ which is why Hulda Clark makes the statement ”There is no pain because the bile duct valves are open (thank you Epsom salts!)” It is because of this ’relaxation’ ability that taking a dose of epsom salts in water helps reduce the pain of a gallbladder attack. Unlike the (mineral) magnesium of the epsom salts which is absorbed into the bloodstream, olive oil never reaches the liver; it stays in the alimentary ...

If you have no serious health issues that may be aggravated, you can effectively do the Clark flush first. It *is* advisable to make sure your bowels are working correctly before a flush because the ’stones’ and their related toxins can make you feel very ill if they linger around in your colon. If you have good working bowels, normally the epsom salts alone can help get the ’stones’ OUT. If not, check into doing an enema or having a colonic afterwards. A water fast beforehand certainly won’t hurt! =) Liver flushing is almost miraculous in how much it helps so many different issue ...

According to many Eastern views of health, the liver and bowels are directly tied to emotions. You may want to check into Bowel Cleansing as well as liver flushing. Also check out the Bowel Cleanse Forum. The two work hand-in-glove in releasing emotions ’trapped’ in our bodies which can cause symptoms just like yours.   [End]
