Epsom Salts is a Hyperosmotic saline type laxative which acts within 1-2 hours. It contracts the gallbladder, relaxes the sphincter of Oddi, increases gastric, intestinal and pancreatic secretion and production of cholecystokinin.

Choleccystokin is a substance that signals to the liver and gallbladder that bile is required by the duodenum.

The Spinccter of Oddi is a muscular valve that opens th bile duct to the duodenum. Epsom Salts should be given in dilute solution to a fasting individual.

Hyperosmotic saline type laxative means that the magnesia acts to pull a salt or saline solution into the intestines from the blood. This excessive fluid then provides a flushing or laxative action within the intestines. There is an inherent loss of salt from this process.

The Epsom Salts also purges the stomach of its contents ensuring that it is fully emptied to receive the flush potion.

The doses of Epsom salts taken after the flush potion at a time dependant upon the protocol adopted ensure the rapid transit of gallstones, stale bile and other potentially toxin debris through the intestines where it is evacuated without being re-absorbed. The ileum which is a part of the intestines just before the colon start is responsibly to reabsorbing 80 to 90 percent of the bile secreted by the liver and gallbladder.

The Liver Flush works best if you follow the protocol. There is no need to fast all the day it's important to eat normally but light so as not to disturb the production and flow of bile. The liver has a natural cycle: At night when you are naturally fasting, bile is produced and in the day it is released continually into the digestive tract whether you are eating of not. The bile is then re-absorb in the ileum and returned to the liver. Eating a balance meal including plenty of fibre binds the bile components and evacuates it.

Symptoms following a Liver Flush are regarded as a sign that it has been effective but headaches can also be caused by dehydration. Drink water fortified with electrolytes, fruit juice or a proprietary dehydration drink.

I can't recommend taking anything with the flush potion like charcoal because it needs to be an oil/acid mixture. Anything that slows down its transit from the stomach is going to reduce the flush. (This is only opinion and if you want to try it let the forum know. Practice is better that theory). The toxins released by the flush may are distributed in the stale bile and stones in the liver, gallbladder, and intestines, and even deeper in the body. As the liver starts to work more efficiently, filtering the blood it can release toxins over a prolonged duration sometimes.

Try taking Emergen-C the morning after. It replenishes your electrolytes and instead of spending the day feeling tired, weak and headachey, you feel GREAT!
