If your weren’t nursing, I’d recommend ParaGone, or something similar. It’s great at killing the candida. Also, garlic supplements, and enemas with vinegar. But garlic will really ruin your breastmilk. =oP Maybe try just cutting out sugar/fruits, sweeten with xylitol, and do small but frequent P shakes - not necessarily B.   [End]

Something I’d forgotten about - Try some xylitol! It’s like sugar, but good for you, and causes bowel movements - definitely. So much more pleasant to stir this into some tea, than to drink a SWF. In fact, try stirring it into your P&B shakes.   [End]

I was excited about this cleanse because I knew I desperately NEEDED it, but... I don’t think I ever really WANTED to do all that’s required of it. I want to eat food, bad food. I don’t want to drink water. I don’t want to mess with enemas. Wah wah wah. So the current result is that I’m more constipated than before, having taken three Toxin Absorbers over the past three days, but only having a few tiny bowels since that first day of miserable cramping. I’m afraid of the Digestive Stimulator now! I didn’t take any yesterday evening, because I’m still having occasional cramping as it ...

Hello! That’s great about the success of your liver flushes. I’d like to try one some day, but feel like I’m still too backed up. I read one of your posts where you’d cut milk from your diet. Have you cut out meat or gluten as well? I’m sure you’ve heard all of the advice - drink tons more water, etc. I’d suggest trying some disposable Fleet-style enemas, to begin with. You can immediately refill them a few times, before tossing them - easy clean up. You also mentioned candida, so you might try adding a little bit of vinegar to enemas. You won’t be able to hold them in very long, ...

How are things moving? If you’re expelling a lot of nasty stuff everyday, or feel like you don’t have much else to expel, maybe you should go for it. I would want to feel certain that the passage is clear and moving. Also, I’d do a search here and read about other people’s experiences. Good luck!   [End]

Didendi, I am so grateful that you shared this discovery! My first/only SWF was such a miserable experience, but very effective. I was clogged in the middle of a ParaGone cleanse, and it looked like I pooped a huge dead rat after the SWF - I know, GROSS. =oP I’m about to begin another cleanse, and wanted to be able to do the SWF again, but dreaded the gagging/vomiting. BTW, I used Celtic Gray - it’s the MILDEST??? Blech!!!   [End]

All right... What about iced tea? We love Lipton decaf, boiled/brewed, sweetened with Splenda. If we do tea, should we switch back to caffeinated?? What about Splenda? What about Xylitol?   [End]

Thank you so much! I am going to clean out the kitchen right now, then head to the health food store after naptime. We are doing this for my husband, who we agree must suffer from ADHD, and also for our three young children, who are showing signs of ADD and autism. I even think I might be ADD. Getting kind of scary around here, time for some drastic changes. Where/Why have I read that protein is bad for ADHD?? Thanks again.   [End]

When I first started using psyllium, I was like you. I suspected that the brown 10” ropes I was passing was the psyllium. But then one day I was shocked by what came out of me. Five feet, wrapping around and around the top of the toilet, of rough, nasty, black stuff! I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t experienced it for myself. Good Luck!   [End]

My husband has light blue eyes, I have ”orange”-green-blue. Our first two children have bright/light blue eyes, our newest baby (almost four months old) also has bright blue eyes, but has suddenly developed a large spot of brown in her right eye, just above the pupil. It developed within two days, and goes from about ”11:00 to 2:00.” This has me newly interested in iridology. Any comments would be very welcome! Thanks.   [End]

Somewhere, I recently read that up to ??90%?? of eliminated parasites will be encased in the movements, so we won’t see them. All of the ”rice” I’ve seen has been stuck on the outside of stools. The ”chopped nuts and jugs” were in one loose stool that happened to break apart. I’m glad others are seeing ”rice” because my husband thinks it’s just rice. But I’ve eaten rice for years, huge quantities at a time, and never seen it in my stool before. I even showed him the picture of tapeworm eggs/sacks, but he is slow to believe. He just needs to see some stuff for himself! We’re both kin ...

So far in my ParaGone cleanse, I’ve seen more mucoid plaque than parasites - I’m doing PB shakes as well. What I have seen, in abundance, resembles rice and sometimes chopped nuts. I’ve also seen some little orange jug-shaped things.   [End]

I’m copying this all from askshelley.com: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Salt Water Flush The Salt Water Flush is basically an enema that you drink. The advantage over the enema is that unlike an enema, you also flush your small intestine. The disadvantage is you have to drink a lot of salty water, blech! :) Warm up one quart of good filtered water, NOT distilled, in a safe, non-reactive pan. It should feel comfortably warm, but not hot, to your elbow. Add two tablespoons of salt. It can be Hains Sea Salt - UNiodized, or a b ...

My understanding - the hot saltwater draws out toxins from your skin. Then you’re supposed to take a cool shower to rinse off and close pores. I’m glad this thread was started because I have a headache. owww   [End]

I know my case is not typical at all. I just have a LOT of junk in me. I definitely say you should use an enema. I started a bowel cleanse last year, just psyllium, and didn’t pass anything odd until I used an enema - then I started passing mucoid plaque. I gave up after a few days because I stopped seeing results, but I wish I would have stuck with it, back then. My husband started Paragone with me on Saturday, and P/B shakes as well. I don’t think he’s seen anything yet - but again, that’s normal! The plan I made has us finishing the Paragone (we’re both doing full strength, n ...

After typing the update above, I felt a tiny inclination to use the toilet. Imagine my surprise. A 12” rope, 7” rope, and some smaller chunks of that disgusting m.p. filled the toilet! It was darker brown, and half of it had some rice - actually a little bit bigger than rice, like chopped toothpicks. HOW EXCITING!   [End]

Hee hee, I just wanted to say that. RESULTS, of the first few days: Day One began the morning after I passed what has appeared to be a tapeworm. This has made me a believer of parasites in humans. Before then, I was suspicious of commercial parasite cleanses, thinking maybe the capsules contained particles that expanded with water and looked like bugs and worms. Tapeworm or no, I still have had experiences of flushing out some kind of candida in the form of ”banana strings” and ”toilet paper flakes.” That was reason enough to start taking P/B shakes, and then begin ParaGone on Sa ...

If these are eggs, or egg-sacks, I’m in disgusted awe. I’ve never had them in my stool before. Last week I was trying to remove (what I thought was itchy) candida with a vinegar/water enema, and a five-inch ”strand” came out that was as thick as my little finger, clearish-white, and appeared to have a head. Someone here linked me to some photos (thank you), and I recognized what I’d passed as a tapeworm (looked EXACTLY like photo). AAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!

It did kind of resemble that, the head part especially, but no way! I just did a search on tapeworm and it said you can only get it by swallowing an infected flea?

Hey, Thanks for replying. I’m afraid to think about what else might be in me! I still believe that was candida, even though I’ve never ever seen it that thick before - it usually looks more like banana strings. But I had a baby six weeks ago, was given IV antibiotics, and my blood sugars (type 1 diabetic) have been extremely high since then (shame shame) but I’m controlling them now. Anyway, maybe those two factors can produce monster candida. It was so disgusting, but now I wish I’d taken a picture! UGH!!! I’m just taking psyllium in apple juice at this point. I heard once that ...

Last night I used a vinegar enema because my bottom was itching and I guessed there was some candida in there. With the first enema, some little strands came out with the movement. I did it again, and couldn’t believe what I saw - a five-inch ”strand” as thick as my little finger, floating upwards with what looked like a head at the top of the water. I doubt it was a head, but it was freaky. I’m sure it was candida because of how wispy/flaky it looked - not like a solid worm, UGH. I would like to hear of other people’s experiences with something like this. I came to this site, brie ...

Thanks for replying. Even though it was only one time that I took liquid bentonite by itself, I will not be doing that again. I feel like the board moron/rebel here! I’m very new to everything, and desperate, and curious... How would the LB have caused the itching? I wasn’t really constipated - I had several bowel movements that seemed to squeeze past the bentonite blob - if that’s what that was. I could feel the blob itself, but it was extremely hard to pass - I’m guessing because it had no solidity.   [End]

Hi everyone, I’m the one who used, admittedly, WAY too much apple cider vinegar in some desperate enemas last week. I am not recommending my dangerous solution (1/4 cup vinegar per quart water), but I have to say it wiped out the itching that was driving me insane. I’m in the middle of bowel-cleansing, and it was like I had stirred up a nest of candida during those days, or something. I’ve never had that kind of itching before, or since, thankfully. I mentioned in my post last week (VERY SCARY STUFF) something else that passed during that series of enemas, which was a large black ma ...

I’m getting a little freaked out by the stuff coming out of me. It all started with intense internal/rectal itching, two weeks into a bowel cleanse. So I did an apple cider vinegar enema a few nights ago, and was excited to see many whitish toilet-paper-type flakes. The itching disappeared for two days, then returned. I did another round of acv-enemas, and passed a small amount of mucoid plaque and lots more white stuff, including ”long brown threads with white goo clumped around them.” That was last night. Tonight I felt more itching, so I decided to do more enemas, but this time ...

I’m fairly new to enemas. A few weeks ago, I used some Fleet-styles, as I began a bowel cleanse regime. Now I have graduated to the common red enema bag. I heat the water to a gentle warmth, and let it flow from a low height, very slowly, stopping as needed, but despite all valiant efforts I still only manage to get in about 8 ounces. Maybe as I do more enemas, I’ll be able to take in more? Maybe my intestines are crudded up and compacted?   [End]

Hello, I did a second round of apple cider vinegar enemas tonight (same ”harsh” strength), and passed quite a bit of candida. YAY. Much of it was like two days ago - many 1cm flakes which floated, sank, were embedded in stool. But tonight there were ALSO long gobs of the white stuff, intertwined with what looked like brown thread. Kind of freaky but exciting. The stools were mucoid plaque, embedded with white spots. This is why I am continuing the psyllium and bentonite - to get this crud out, which is harboring candida! LOL, it’s strange - the eagerness to share bowel movements wi ...

After posting the above inquiry, I was feeling desperate and decided to try an enema with apple cider vinegar - I prepared almost one quart of water with a quarter-cup of the acv (but actually was only able to use half of the mixture, in two enemas). In my stools, and in the toilet water, I saw many white-ish flaky bits. Some floated, some were imbedded in stool, and there was also (each time) a pile at the bottom of the toilet. I was kind of disappointed, because I had hoped to see a large mass, instead of so many little (1 cm) flakes. And is it possible that the pile of flakes at the ...
