Hi. I was scared at first just like you are. I put it off until I was in so much pain one day I just said SCREW IT and did the flush. That was in June. (Link to my story: //www.curezone.org/forums/m.asp?f=262&i=791 ) I have not done it since and up until this past Monday (09-07-03) I have not had any pain at all. The last couple of weeks I have been incorporating some fats back into my diet and sure enough I had a slight attack on Sunday night. So guess what? I will do the flush again tonight. I hate it and it makes me gag, but I would rather do this than get surgery ANYDAY. Don’t be like me and wait until the last minute. If I would have been doing the flush like I promised myself (every 2-4 weeks), I am almost certain I would not be in any pain now. AND even though I have had pain it is nothing compared to before my first flush. So, in my opinion you should just go for it, don’t wait because you might get worse and then you won’t have any options. Good luck. Keep us posted.
