i will point you to a very informative post from js.mom yesterday that will explain why most likely you are having such terrible reactions to parasite cleansing. http://www.curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1594234 also i agree that wormwood can cause terrible reactions in some people so perhaps you could try something more targeted for your tapeworm. but read the above post...i truly think that you need to first start with working on elimation organs before parasite cleansing in order to get well.   [End]

Hi there, I need some advice. I’ve been a curezone reader for many years and have done some cleansing through the years as well. Though I’ve had to pause these cleanses on and off through the past 7 or so years due to having three children. Currently I have a 7 month old that is still nursing. I cannot stop nursing her as she is too young to wean and she has never taken formula. she would probably not do well on formula as she is highly sensitive to milk and soy...i.e. I cannot have soy or milk if it comes thorugh the breastmilk she gets very unhappy. However I’m feeling very run do ...

i think andreas moritz said that it is safe, but the most common concensus i hear about cleansing and pregnancy is don’t do it, because toxins will get stirred up and possibly absorbed by the fetus. although there are some recipes out there i’ve seen that are considered gentle liver flushes perhaps these would be ok. are you having gallbladder pain now? I would get gall bladder pain during my pregnancies and a dose of epsom salts would help. they are absolutely vile tasting but worth it for relief of pain.   [End]

I believe it’s rather common to feel weak and tired after a liver flush. i think the liver is a bit shocked after a liver flush and needs a few days to bounce back. this is my perception anyways. perhaps some liver supporting herbs would be wise also perhaps minerals and electrolytes have been depleted due to the flush. i love emergenc to replenish electrolytes. i’m sure you will feel better soon. congrats on 11 flushes. oh also pain may be relieved by a dose of epsom salts.   [End]

EV, what prenatal supplements do you recommend? I suffer badly from constipation all the time. I am not pregnant but trying, so until then I am not taking a calcium or iron supplement knowing that it will make my constipation worse.   [End]

I asked you a question in another thread, but I’m pretty sure you didn’t see it. I posted about the yeast and BV problem. About the garlic, how do I insert a clove of garlic and it not get stuck inside? I’ve been pondering over this and can’t figure it out. Yogurt was Stoneyfield plain. Also, tried an herbal prep wash from an midwife with herbal knowledge containg some of the herbs you suggested. It didn’t help and gave me a rash after the sixth night. Also, tea tree oil breaks me out. Please feel free to email me if you want.   [End]

thanks so much for your response Ev, you know i thought of one more thing today that may have messed up my cycle. i did about 4 or 5 liver flushes late in 2004 and the beginning of 2005...it was around that time that my periods got weird on me. could this have messed up my cycle? I don’t really eat dairy hardly at all. Mostly I use rice milk. And I rarely use a microwave for anything. I will try the 1000mg of C and B vitamins. thanks again. Mary   [End]

Ev, No birth control really. Sometimes withdrawal, sometimes condoms depending on the time of the month. I had no problems conceiving with my first child but then my period was 28 days long. Thanks for any input. Mary   [End]

Hi there, I have a few concerns and questions. I am 32 years old and my husband and I have been trying to conceive for the last 4 months with no success yet. I know this isn’t long and intend to keep on chugging along. But my big concern is my cycle suddenly became much shorter. My last four periods have been 20 days, 2 24 day cycles, and this last one was 22 days. Whats going on? I have been a 28 day girl for as long as I can remember. Is this going to hinder our chances of becoming pregnant? It was so easy with my first child. Oh and I did do an ovulation predictor kit and it w ...

oh yikes thats gross but also good news ha. so are you taking the lower bowel balance pills as well? I started taking the MH dewormer and had to stop b/c it made me feel horrible. this tells me that i probably really do have a parasite problem but they didn’t want to leave without a fight. i may give it another whirl with the lower bowel balance capsules. if you are taking these, how much and how often are u taking them. thanks, mary   [End]

Ok, just wanted to make sure it’s ok. I know there are contra indications for instance taking too much Vit A during pregnancy so wasn’t sure if a super greens supplement would be a problem. But I think most of them are whole foods anyway so I can’t see them being a problem. Thanks I will check out Dr. Shulze formula.   [End]

i’ve been reading for years that milk is not good for you. It is good for baby cows not for humans. it is all a political based scam. if people stop eating dairy the big business dairy producers (as well as the pharmaceutical companies) will suffer big time and the government will always protect the business owners over the consumers. thats why they continue to promote the ”myth” at the expense of the common people.   [End]

I would imagine that it would be okay to eat the foods that have anti-parasitic compounds in them, such as raw green pumpkins seeds, pineapple, papaya...there are others but I can’t think of them right now. according to the ph balance fans , parasites will leave an alkaline body. so you could eat mostly alkaline forming foods   [End]

i think you’ll definitely want to get your bowels moving very regularly before doing a parasite cleanse. visit the bowel cleanse and/or constipation forum. if you attempt a parasite cleanse but only go once a week you’ll feel very yucky. there’s a lot to this cleansing thing but just relax and start slowly... i have big problems with constipation myself. what has helped me greatly is magnesium products such as oxypowder or coloson. psyllium shakes. glycerin suppositories on occasion they are quick and effective! chinese bitters seem to really help me. i do an enema at the end of ...

Thanks so much for your detailed post. I am not sure what type of mycoplasma I have. The ND either wouldn’t tell me or didn’t know. It appeared as a donut type shape. I did not see any IN my red blood cells, all the ones I saw were out of the cells.. in fact I don’t remember seeing more than one. I agree with you on the live blood analysis that it can be done incorrectly.... thank goodness I have some biology experience. One slide was open to the air the other was from an unopened sealed package.... Not sure which was used for which test. He wanted to repeat the live blood in 1 mo ...

hello, i’ve been doing fine with my constipation as i take CleanseMore every night before bed. However I plan to become pregnant soon and I’m not sure if this is safe for pregnancy. CleanseMore has magnesium, aloe, rhubarb root, slippery elm, marshmallow , triphala. I know aloe is not recommended during pregnancy and I’m not sure about the others. Is there a safe, non-stimulant supplement I can take during pregnancy? thanks, mary   [End]

i’m wondering about why with the h. clark recipe that you have to do two doses of epsom salts before the flush. i’m wondering if just one dose is enough to get the bile ducts open. i already took coloson to get the bowels cleaned out in preparation. so would one dose of es be sufficient for opening the bile ducts? thx - mary   [End]

hi somer, you seem very knowledeable on the subject of juice fasting...mind if i ask you some questions? i’d like to try a juice fast but do not want to lose too much weight. i’m 5’7” and 115 lbs right now so really will begin to look too skinny if i lost anymore weight. though the reason i want to try juice fasting is to clean out the system, bowels, adrenals, liver etc. i’d like to rejuvenate the skin....mine is soooo dry and i feel like i’m prematurely aging. i’ve already done quite a bit of bowel cleansing and have done 4 liver cleanses (about to do my 5th) and some parasite cleans ...

thanks johanna, that makes me feel better that epsom salts are not harming the kidneys, the stuff is really nasty but i can suck it up as long as its not doing any harm. i’ve already stopped using the epsom salts in the morning, i just can’t stomach it after a restless night and feeling nauseous. but i will try and continue to use them to open the bile ducts before taking the OO mixture. thanks so much! oh any advice on stone softeners? thx, Mary   [End]

Hello all, i’ve completed my 4th flush with varying results. the first two i got a lot of stones out i think they must have been ready to come out though b/c before the first two i had liver pain in the morning, i no longer have that pain so thats good news. the third flush i had one teeny tiny little stone, pretty funny! this last one i just completed i’ve gotten a fair number of tiny stones out. i’ve been following the andreas moritz protocol which i believe is pretty much the same as hulda clarks protocol. my questions to experienced flushers is this. i really want to stop using ...

thanks krupaclassy and hanna, I feel better today. Yes I guess I’ve really stirred things up so thats a good thing, on the way to better health! I did have gallbladder pain during the nite as well. I’m guessing this is all normal? The actual liver flush I found to be quite easy. I had no problem getting the oil mixture down, the grapefruit flavor negated the oil flavor and I thought it tasted good. I only got slightly naseated during the night. I have been putting it of for so long b/c I was nervous, but it was really not bad, and the results were amazing! I encourage everyone to ...

Hi Everyone, I did my 1st Liver Flush on Sunday into Monday. All went really well I followed Andreas Moritz for the most part except I used magnesium citrate in the morning rather than the epsom salt. I got out lots of stones thru out the day yesterday.

Headache and backache and general achiness all over. Whats the deal? What is the best course of action? Could I have a stuck stone? Should I do another colema o ...
