Diary of first time flusher, and tips along the way...

hi all,
i've been reading this forum for the last couple weeks, gleaning info from all over the place, trying to perfect my first official Liver Flush (the clark way anyway). I just thought i'd share so all the other first time flusher can see what's entailed in a day in the life of a first timer, and what happens along the way! please read on and please write any responses or whatever you feel like!!


The couple of weeks leading up to the liver flush, i thought "it's spring, i want to do the Liver Flush again,(it had been years since i've done my last one), and spring is the time of the liver, and a time for cleansing it... so i knew i wanted to lead up to a LF. I started to do somewhat of a cleanse and ate pretty lightly. I'm vegan/organic to begin with, so i pretty
much just eliminated processed heavier foods. I work at a farmers market in california too, so i have great access to great organic veggies and fruits now.

I know there's all sorts of other things one can do to lead up to a liver flush... parasite cleanse, colon cleanse, kidney cleanse... there's also lots of other herbs, supplements and foods to take too. We all learn what's best for us as we go along, and I'm always open to try new things in the future. But this is how mine went for the first time....


My old naturopath was the first person to introduce me to a LIVER CLEANSE. So i figured i would somewhat loosly follow that
regimen again. DAy before the actual Liver Flush (with salts and oo etc..) i pretty much only consumed apple juice and
apples, with the exception of a salad that night. Today, again, just apples and juice. till 2pm of course. then it was just
water. i had to work till 8pm, so right when i got home, i got ready to drink my prepped Epsom Salt drink which i prepared that morning. I poured the 3/4 cup and OH MY, UGH!! vile concoction! i gagged and had to mentally focus on keeping it down. honest to god, that was terrible. So then i remember someone on the forum saying "drink them with grapefruit juice", so this second time, i tried that. it was like night and day, literally people. for you other first timers, DO THIS! i drank it, chased it with another swallow of juice, and then scraped my tongue (using a tongue scraper), and it was beautiful. no gag reaction that time. so i've now prepped my olive oil and grapefruit concoction, and i'm waiting to go lie down after i drink it.

a few more things i've learned that i will share while i'm waiting to take my oil ...

Malic acid breaks down/softens stones, that is what is in apples (which is why you want to eat them and drink them like
crazy), but you can also take the malic acid in pill form for weeks leading up to your LF. I was also drinking lots of
chamomile tea, somewhere i read in one of my books that it helps to break down gallstones. so does lecithin, pineapple, and a
whole list of other things. i was also taking milk thistle for about a week and a half in pill form, and tincture form. a mix
of milk thistle and dandelion. Milk thistle helps to rebuild healthy tissue/promote new tissue growth, and it's also a natural detoxifier. So i figured, my livers going to get a blast to its' system, perhaps i should nurture it with milk thistle. i
also yesterday and today drank a psyllium powder/clay drink a couple times a day, and also this morning. i then did a coffee
enema this morning and felt amazing! it's good to have a clean slate, cuz it sounds like those stones come roaring outta
there, and they don't want anything in their path, i will oblige them. I've read it's also good to do an enema AFTER the LF
too. I think i will probably do one tomorrow night after it's all over and done with, so there's no residual traces lurking
about down there.
i have yet to drink my oo/gfjuice mix, but i'll write more when i do.... to be cont.

NEXT DAY>.....
So after i drank my oil concoction, that was pretty much it for the night. i lied down on my side, then shortly after went to
sleep. the mixture went down fine, i used a hand blender to mix it up well, drank it, then scraped my tongue to get the thick oil taste off my tongue. I also rinsed with a little juice to help too. i woke up in the middle of the night kinda nauseated, but not so much that i felt i had to get up to puke, just a little bit of belly upset. i didn't sleep so well, and kept waking up, many times, (i wonder if this is common?). Then woke up about
8am, drank the 3rd salts, lied down and put my belly in the sun in bed for a bit.
i drank a big glass of water and an EmergenC packet to hydrate, which helped, i was feeling lightheaded and woozy. i wasn't
feeling tired or exhausted anymore, so i was up and about, but mildly. i drank my 4th salts at 10am and began wondering, when
the heck will i expel???? i drank more water and another EmercenC packet and just waited.
I decided to take a bath, and used some dead Sea Salt s to soak in. i took this time to be my therapeutic preparation for what
was about to happen down there. i just really relaxed into the moment, focusing on my liver and gallbladder. i massaged my
colon and liver, i did alot of really deep breathing and exhalations, i also did some massage and reflexology on my feet
holding the points for colon and liver. i think all these things are nice to do, just to help the body along with expelling
all those toxins, just to move it all along.
Then finally about noon i started expelling, right after my bath. Although it wasn't what i expected. i ended up running to the bathroom about 12 times total for tiny little movements. About 10-15 mintues apart. no "roaring diarrhea" or "raging Butt
pee", but that's me and that didn't happen this time around. i did get a good two dozen little green stones, and one stone as
big as a penny which really excited me that it is now gone and OUT of my body. lord knows how long it's been chillin in my
liver, adios!!! (of course i took pictures and sent them to my family, he he.)

I also had LOTS and LOTS of mucous whch was basically the vehicle for the other matter and stones, tan stringy mucous. That
all lessened with each passing, but in the end i got rid of ALOT of mucous and lots of little tiny globules. Some of which
were whitish in color but not hard. Not sure what those were, but there were alot. I also had a ton of what looked like
chopped parsley. Not sure if that was just remnants from all my salads this week or what.

I then did another coffee enema, and that helped to get rid of just about 4-5 more little stones, but nothing else came out,
just the fluid. i felt very light and VERY empty after doing the enema, and that was the end of my passing.


Now it's 6pm, and i'm finally done. Although there have been a few more trips in the last couple hours with just a little
spurt with a couple stones still. One of my last ones still had 5 more pea size stones in it!! One unpleasant side effect
though is that my anus is totally tuckered out and burning from being so harassed from the bile. All i could think to do was
to put some vitamin E oil and jojoba oil on it throughout the day and hope it improves. Now I've just been drinking chamomile
tea and apple juice all day still, as I don't want to put anything heavy into my fragile harassed insides. I think they need a little downtime now. I'm going to make a light pureed veggie soup now, that's all i feel like.

i HIGHLY recommend doing this on a day off, cuz you gotta be near your toilet in the comfort of your home, you'll appreciate
it. i can't imagine anyone doing this on a workday. Oh my gosh. plus you want to just relax and chill out, because you do
feel rundown and depleted and don't wanna go ANYwhere. that's for sure.

So In the end, i'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy i did this. I've been wanting to for quite some time. I'm going to do one again in
two weeks most likely, and i think my boyfriend will join me too!! So i will still continue to take malic acid, and
psyllium/bentonite drinks, and milk thistle in preparation for the next one. I think I might try some veg lecithin this time
around too.

Doing these flushes is definately a good trend to start in life. We have so many toxins in our lives, and especially in our
food and water supply. Even though i eat vegan and organic, i know lots of crap is leaking into my body unbeknownced and
unwelcomed. Good luck everyone, here's to our health!!! Thank the universe we've come this far, led up to this place, and listening to our muchly ignored hard working bodies!!!
