YAY!! Liver cleanse worked!!!

[aussiebeachgirl]

It seems I was just a bit impatient!!! Now I am going to the loo every half hour or so and LOADS of stones are coming out (sorry if that's TMI, lol) - and they're as big as the ones that they took out with my gallbladder, about the size of a pea. Oh, this is so good - I just *knew* my liver needed some help :D

The cleanse I did was from this website: http://curezone.com/cleanse/liver/huldas_recipe.asp - it's Hulda Clarke's method. You have 3 days of loads of apple juice for the malic acid (I had some juice but also ate loads of apples) with no fat intake then on the 4th day you have Epsom Salts at 6pm and 8pm then the olive oil at 10pm, lay down on your right side with your knees pulled up and go to sleep. If you can that is - I slept only a little coz I felt so ill. Then in the morning you're meant to have 2 more lots of ES but I could only stomach the one - it made my nausea much worse. I did have diarrhoea all day on and off but no stones til now. Interestingly enough, until I ate something. It's taken me til about 3pm to stomach food and as soon as I ate something (greens and tomatoes with a tiny bit of avocado coz I was craving something dense) it all started happening.

I am SO happy!!! That's less work that my poor liver has to do to keep my system running... I'll do this again now I know it works - maybe it'll help with the massive imbalance in my endocrine system.... Yay!!

Thanks to those who responded to my liver cleanse post!

Wow! I'm really surprised. When you told me your gallbladder had been removed, I really thought this would not work. I was under the impression it only flushed stones from the gallbladder, not the liver. This is really great information. Thanks and Congratulations! :eek:

Good for you. Well thanks for the info. I was unsure whether there were stones in the liver, or just the gallbladder.

Glad it worked out good for ya!

Thanks for your interest RowanC and Honeybee Joy :) Now I know it works, I'm going to do another in a couple of weeks... gotta heal this liver!

i'm sure you are feeling great!
maybe it took longer to "get going" b/c your gallbladder is not there!
i did a version of this cleanse (no apples) and i passed lots of little green stones all day. i thought i'd feel better today, i spent most of the day very irritated ( a liver "energy" quality ironically enough - i thought my liver would be happier!!!) but i do feel less "congested" on that side and area of my body
i think i am going to try it again when spring is approaching (a great time to clean the liver)

Hmm, what were your symptoms or how were you feeling before vs during vs after? I'm wondering how I'll react to epson salts because I'm very sensative to seat salts and stuff, hmm... :confused:

Dream,
You don't have to use epsom salts. Some people find them harsh on their systems. If you want to do a liver flush, you can read about Dr. Jubbs protocol, or one of the other similar recipes online. I know Jubb recommends Oxy powder or a good quality herbal laxative.

Dream, the purpose of the epsom salts is to make you poop a LOT. So you could use any herbal laxative, like Senna, but you need to use enough to give you diahhrea for about 4 hours. You'd need to consult an herbal book or see if someone on here can help. Maybe RawPriestess or Revell. I'm not home and don't have my herb books with me. You could also look online.

It might be possible to simply use prune juice and take it in cupfuls instead of the epsom salts. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Oops. Looks like someone already said exactly what I did. Sometimes these strings are difficult to follow.. I get lost.. I need to start dropping breadcrumbs like Hansel & Gretel. THAT is what I can do with all this Spanish bread! :D

[sungoddess]

That is so exciting!!!! Please update on improvements you fee and notice! Good luck!!!

Thanks for your interest everyone! It's so nice to have support like this :)
Well, I've started my second one today. The first 3 days are a breeze - just don't eat any fat, everything else is the same. I still did my workout at the gym thismorning and am working all day.

As for things I have noticed, well, my liver seems to get the sharp ache less, much less, actually, now I stop and think about it. I'm still not able to tolerate much fat in my diet. I've actually cut out nuts and seeds altogether in the last few days and that seems to really agree with me so far. I feel less clogged inside though I can;t say exactly where I feel it! lol. The only fat I get just now are from about 1/4 avo a day and a little olive or flax seed oil on my salads.

I lost about 2 kg doing the cleanse but it's come back on since... a bit bummed about that but not worried. I know there's a heck of a lot of other stuff going on I can't see ;)

Dream, I felt terrible during it (see my other post about it from then) with shockin nausea. I had to carry a bucket with me around the house and keep it by the bed. Apart from that no other side effects. And don't let that put youo off - I reckon it was just showing me how badly my liver needed flushing. If you're going to do it, use a straw. There's no way I could have thrown back that olive oil if I didn't have the straw - I pushed it right to the back of my mouth so none of that (or the epsoms) got on my tongue. That wayI didn't have to taste any of it!

I'll post the results of this one too when I'm done on Monday if you like. It'll be interesting to see how many more stones come out this time!
