I usually get a colonic 1-3 days after the final flush day. It’s probably best to wait 3 days to make sure all the stones come through. I don’t get a colonic beforehand because it’s too expensive and too much effort to get colonics before and after the flush. If you’ve never had a colonic, though, it might be a good idea to get one ahead of time as well. Getting a colonic after a flush has always made a huge difference for me. I’ve always felt better immediately.   [End]

You could try the Present Moment kidney cleanse tea. You can find it on the Present Moment site. I believe that Andreas Moritz worked with the company to develop it. You drink the tea for 21 days. It makes me really tired at first, so I would suggest starting with a very small amount and working up. It’s the hardest cleanse for me, so I haven’t done it too often and I never make it the full 21 days. It’s been a year since I’ve done it, so I can’t remember why I don’t like it so much. I think it puts me in a bad mood and makes me tired. I really should do it again though.   [End]

You could have adrenal fatigue, but that’s a symptom, not the cause. The cause is too much waste in your body, so it doesn’t function properly. To fix the problem, you need to get rid of the waste in some way. I took an adrenal supplement for a while and it did give me a boost, but that was just a temporary solution while I healed. I flushed every 3 weeks to a month for 3.5 years. My liver is clean so I’m waiting a while to flush again. My main symptoms were panic attacks, severe rosacea, and inability to digest food (and many others).   [End]

If you’re spitting out mucus, it means that your stomach is protecting itself from something that you’ve eaten. Since you’re not eaten gluten, my guess would be animal protein.

It may be too late to respond, but I wouldn’t recommended doing the flush right before a colonoscopy. You’ll probably be a little tired.

I had a couple of thoughts on your message. First, it’s better to vomit every time you do the flush and eventually heal yourself, then to stay sick. I vomited every time, but eventually finished. Also, sometimes you’re going to feel worse before you get better because the flush is stirring up a lot of toxins. You may have gotten the Salmonella in the first place because your body had a lot of waste in it. The body uses bacteria to help rid itself of waste when it has no other options.   [End]

Hi Mike, I suggest that you use the Epsom Salts. Their purpose is to open the ducts in the liver and gallbladder so that gallstones can be released, not just to move things along. That could be a reason that you didn’t release any stones. Also, it would be really hard on your body to do another cleanse so soon. You’ll release a lot more stones if you follow the proper procedure and wait at least 3 weeks between cleanses.   [End]

Hi Tayto - If you’re doing the open colonic, make sure they turn the water pressure down. It works better that way and it’s not really uncomfortable. I would suggest that you do the colonic after the flush to see if there is anything caught in your large intestines. The gallstones won’t necessarily come out later, they may just remain in one of the pockets or they may dissolve. I always have a colonic after a flush because the toxins that have been stirred up make me feel really bad. Once I have the colonic, I feel good again.   [End]

In my opinion, that should be fine. The oil is what’s important because it causes the bile to be released in large quantities from the liver/gallbladder.

You mention that your liver is ”genetically” weak. This might not be the case for you, but I don’t believe most illnesses are genetic.

I think that the current survey is too long - I only answered one or two questions. I didn’t have the patience to finish it. I think you’re missing a lot of good information by having a long survey. You could ask key questions, then make the answers available. Thanks, Jill   [End]

I’ve read that a colema board is the best substitute, and an enema would be another option, but not as good. I do take the magnesium oxide, but it can’t really remove stones in the colon. I don’t know about the charcoal. I did my first two flushes without a colonic and it was fine. Over time, though, I realized that I wasn’t feeling too well without them.   [End]

I think that the liver flushes will work for you. Sometimes the symptoms get worse before getting better. That happened for me, although I didn’t feel pain, I felt like my organs were enlarging even more and it was hard to breathe.   [End]

Hi Razbe 83 - Just to clarify, you had a second ultrasound after you finished your flushes and it didn’t show anything (meaning no stuck stone)? I’ve never had the kind of pain that you mentioned, but I don’t think that you would have damaged your ducts or gb/liver from some flushes. Are you drinking apple juice or malic acid to soften the stones for 6 days before the flush?   [End]

I’ve never fasted before a liver flush, so I’m sure that there is someone more knowledgeable than me about this, but I think you should see how you feel and trust your own instincts. I can always tell if I am strong enough for a liver flush or if I need to wait a little longer.   [End]

You can do the liver cleanse without doing those other things first. The Andreas Moritz protocol does not focus on parasites. He does recommend a kidney cleanse, but I didn’t do that until I’d already done a number of flushes. The one thing that I do think is important is some kind of colon cleanse after the flush. The cleanse always leaves toxins in the colon and it will make you feel really bad if you don’t get them out some way. I always got a colonic within a few days.   [End]

That’s good to hear that your liver is so clean. I wanted to tell you that during the flush when I released the big stone from my gallbladder (my 25th flush), I happened to get a deep tissue back massage that day. I’ve never gotten a massage during any other flush. It could have been a coincidence, but I’m wondering if it might have helped the big stone to come out by releasing some of the tension in my muscles. There was a lot of movement in my liver when that came out (like the whole thing was contracting).   [End]

It’s something you can take every day, or you can take more than the maintenance amount to do a kind of cleanse (they give you the instructions on the bottle). It’s non-habit forming and it’s very gentle. I’m not into taking supplements - it’s the only one that I’m taking now. I just take one capsule daily. I’m not sure what its affect is on anyone else, but for me, it does clean my pores.   [End]

That’s actually not that close together - 3 weeks should be fine. I think you should try a product called Mag07 or another product like it (I can’t remember the names of the other brands - they should be all the same). It delivers oxygen to the digestive track. It always makes my skin look good because it seems to clean out the pores.   [End]

I think that a coffee enema would give me the shakes as well - the caffeine in coffee has a really strong affect on me when I drink it...Tayto, how long ago was your 8th flush? It might be helpful to take more of a break between flushes so that more stones can move forward.   [End]

I did finish in September after 41 flushes. It took me 3.5 years. The stones kept getting smaller and smaller until they were gone. I’m sorry to hear about the stuck stones - that’s not something that most people experience. If possible, I think you should take a break for awhile. You’re right that the flush is hard on the body and I think your body needs to rest for a little while - maybe you could just take some epsom salts in water to dislodge any stones stuck after the most recent flush and drink some apple juice to keep the passages somewhat open to help with the pressure? I never flu ...

Thanks, Hanna! That’s very nice of you to say. Yes, my ND is a little on the conservative side when it comes to treatments, diets, etc. She’s actually a physical therapist with degrees in nutrition, but she incorporates a lot of alternative techniques. The flush can be scary for some people and she is one of them. She was supportive of the flush, but my sister thought it was odd and my best friend was supportive at first, but then kept telling me that I had done enough. It was confusing to me that I hadn’t heard of many people who had finished, but now I believe that it’s because it takes ...

You can tell if you have a stone stuck in the entry to your gallbladder if you have trouble rotating your right shoulder (a little stiffness or mild pain). I had a couple of stuck stones, but they never hurt. I wouldn’t have known about them except that my physical therapist could tell because of my limited arm movement and, after she pointed it out, I could feel the stiffness. The stones were always gone after the next flush. Having a stuck stone was a real fear of mine, as well, and I almost stopped after I heard that I had a stuck stone (even though I couldn’t feel it), but I kept going ...

Okay, that’s good. I was getting worried...This time, I felt really dizzy the first two days. I couldn’t even take a walk. I thought it might be because my tea had been sitting in the refrigerator for a number of months, so I stopped after two days and ordered some new tea from Present Moment. For whatever reason, I felt better with the new tea, although I was still tired the first few days. The tea also makes me depressed - I don’t feel happy when I’m doing the kidney cleanse. That’s why I stopped after 12 days, I like to be in a good mood. I feel a little tenderness in my kidneys when I ...

I believe that you’re only supposed to have 2-3 tablespoons of the tea in two cups of water at most. You may be using too much tea.

Early on in my healing process, I got very tired and my doctor said it was parasites. She gave me Wormwood and it helped.

Once you get rid of the waste in your body, the parasites will have nothing to feed off of and will go away on their own.   [End]

I wouldn’t worry too much about the items you listed. For me, brain fog is when you’re talking and you forget what you were going to say, or you’re doing something for work and just can’t think clearly. My mind feels pretty clear these days, but I still don’t remember what I did yesterday and I bring a list to the store. Some people’s minds just don’t work that way. I hope you got out more stones on your 8th cleanse.   [End]

My gallbladder was filled with gallstones, but now they’ve all come out through flushing and I digest well. I even had one come out that was about 2 inches long during my 25th flush. You can remove your gallstones through flushing no matter what the doctors tell you.   [End]

Hi Raphael - I’ve heard recommendations to increase the amount of oil, but I haven’t heard anything about the epsom salts except that children should receive half a dose of both the salts and the oil. I’m not a medical professional, but my thought would be that if you’re a large person it might help, but if not, the 4 Tbsp. should do the job of relaxing the ducts. I’m not sure that 5 Tbsp. would have that much more of an impact. Are you getting a lot of water out in the morning, if not stones? If so, I would think the Epson Salts are working. You might want to try more oil.   [End]

Hi Boroda - I’ve never heard of painful eyes during the flush, but it makes sense since I have read that the eyes reflect the health of the liver. I can’t find the specific language supporting that statement, but I was able to find a passage on the Ener-Chi site that says ”lymphatic congestion can create localized disturbances in different parts of the body such as the eyes,” so maybe the flush caused some temporary lymphatic congestion. I think it’s probably a sign that the flush was effective and toxins were released, but I hope it doesn’t happen again because it sounds really unpleasant.

Andreas Moritz said that the liver is most active starting at 10 p.m. I think it’s from 10 a.m.-2 a.m., but it could only be until midnight. I guess if the liver is at its most active point, it would be more effective in pushing out the stones.   [End]

What happened was that, in my mid-30’s, I got really bad rosacea all over my face. I’d always had good skin, so this was extremely upsetting to me. I’d had some other issues in the past like anxiety and dizziness, but I had never associated diet with those other issues. I read that rosacea was caused by problems in the intestines and I also heard that the Specific Carbohydrate Diet could heal the intestines. That diet required you to cut out a lot of carbohydrates. Any animal protein was fine. I’m very determined once I start something, so I ate that way for a long time (several years). Th ...

It feels good to do the flush, but you might not want to do too many at once, since they can be tiring for the body. Most of the time I did them every 4 weeks and sometimes every 3 weeks, but I always had an easier flush when I spaced them out. At a minimum, I would wait 2 weeks between flushes.   [End]

I’m glad that worked, Raphael. If no stones are coming out, it’s either biliary blockage or the gallbladder not opening and the blockage should be broken up by 7 flushes. Luigi - the Epson salts didn’t affect me at first either (nothing came out by 10 pm). I think that’s because your liver is just really blocked up. If you clean out your liver, the bloating will go away over time.   [End]

I’ve never done a coffee enema, so I’m not sure about its impact on the body. If it’s more powerful than a regular enema, you might want to see how you feel after the first flush and whether your ready to try something else that’s new, since flushing can be tiring. You’ll want to clean out your colon in some way a few days after the flush.   [End]

Hi Krunya3 - I would suggest that you lower your intake of animal protein. Even if it’s organic, meat causes a lot of problems for the body. Before I became a vegan/started flushing my liver, I was eating a lot of organic animal protein and it caused major problems for me. After 4 years as a vegan/flushing out my liver, I feel great. If you don’t feel well enough to start flushing, you could reduce your meat intake first and see how you feel. It looks like the rest of your diet is fine. I personally don’t take any supplements, but that’s just my preference.   [End]

Hi Raphael - You mentioned earlier that you did enemas and your bowels were clean. Are you sure about that? Enemas typically only reach the end portion of the colon. If the beginning of the colon is blocked (where it connects to the small intestine), then the gallbladder won’t open and you won’t release stones. You might want to consider getting one professional colonic just to rule that out. Andreas Moritz has some videos about this on his Ener-chi site.   [End]

I originally started looking for solutions because of my skin as well. It was terrible and I was desperate to find a solution. Now it’s fine and I don’t even wear makeup any more. Just keep doing the flushes and your skin will be fine. You need to give it a little more time. Also, antibiotics are bad for flushing because they make a lot of stones, so you’re getting rid of stones, but making them at the same time. Also, if you’re taking them while you flush, your liver has trouble dealing with the toxins in the antibiotics while flushing at the same time.   [End]

I know, it sounds kind of crazy that I kept going, but I always felt good after the flush and I knew it was benefiting me overall. I live by myself and if I was feeling lightheaded or dizzy, I made sure that I didn’t move around too much. It only happened during a couple of flushes and the rest were fine. As far as the throwing up, I’m not sure what to say except that my body just didn’t like the mixture of oil and toxins. It was always really quick - I woke up, felt sick, threw up, and then went back to bed.   [End]

I am having the same experience, although they’ve faded the past couple of days. I always have a harder time with the kidney cleanse than the liver flush because it lasts so long.

Hi Tayto - I think that if you keep going, you’ll continue to make progress. It seems like you just need to dislodge a few more stones that are blocking the way. Before each flush, I either drank 32 oz of apple juice for the 6 days, or 1 tsp of malic acid in 32 oz of water during that time. I’ve never taken malic acid except when I do the flush.   [End]

Yes, it took 3.5 years. I started Feb. 2011. I don’t know how so many stones were in my liver. I followed a standard American diet for most of my life. When I was around 35 yrs. old, I went on a high protein diet for a few yrs. for health reasons and that really caused problems. I was actually really skinny when I started flushing because I couldn’t digest fat. I felt so bad that I went to a natural doctor who gave me the liver flush book. I’m a vegan now.   [End]

I also wanted to mention that I felt a giant gallstone leave my gallbladder during the 25th flush. It must have been a couple of inches at least.
