Thanks to everyone for their support and suggestions. Brankey and Boldyloxx-- I like your ideas and when I’m stronger will try a daily dose of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic (sounds like what I put on my salads). I just saw my osteopath and fortunately did not suffer any kidney or heart damage. When I’m stronger, I will re-start (probably with MH Dewormer) at half doses, and not go near the ES. I have some chanca piedra and will use that to crush the stones. My ultrasound showed one large gallstone (but we all know that are tons of small ones that did not show up). I’m continuing ...

Your posing gives me some hope---it sounds like you are able to succesfully do the liver gallbladder flushes with small amounts of ES. Have you passed large stones? I’d like to hear more about your experience.   [End]

How frightening for you--- I don’t think I could ever touch ES again after this experience. It sounds like those of us who tend towards low sodium (see Cyrulis’s response above) and have adrenal fatigue put ourselves at risk when we take ES, especially the full dose. I’m glad to hear you feel good at the end of the cycle-- I’m not there yet-- still feeling weakened. There must be a way to cleanse on not risk a life threatening electrolyte imbalance. I’m probably going to stick with chanca piedra to break my stones, and some longer term dietary measures for now. If I ever do a liver/g ...

Cyrulis and everyone-- thank you for your illuminating responses. You are correct-- I eat a diet wiht lots of veggies, flax oil/lemon juice and do not use salt because I thought it was healthier(mistake #1). Also, my activities of the day (mistake #2) along with water consumption (mistake #3)pulled more sodium out of my system and voila-- I was at a sodium level of 117 when I arrived in the ER-- a near death level. I definitely do have adrenal fatigue and it sounds like this episode further depleted my already depleted adrenals. I am faced with re-building my system from this episode-- I ...

I had about 2 liters of water that morning, but I had also exercised and taken a steam room. I also drink 2-3 liters of water a day. The doctors in the hospital thought my sodium had been dropping before I took the epsom’s salt, but not sure why. They also thought the anti-parasite herbs may have had an effect on my electrolytes and the epsom’s salt pushed me over the edge. I clearly had an OD on magnesium-- in retrospect, a therapeutic dose of magnesium, given how small I am, is probably 1-2 teaspoons.   [End]

I am generally healthy, 5”1’, 114 lbs, 49 year old woman with 3 kids. I have confirmed gallstones with ultrasound. I generally eat well, lots of veggies, water, organic food and have lots of experience with alternative medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy. I have been looking at this site for months and decided it was finally time to go into action after a painful gallbladder attack following eating butter popcorn a few weeks ago. I started a cleansing diet on May 10th. I started taking Paragone on Monday May 16th and after two days of loose stools (with what looked like wormy things), I b ...

I’ve been using ParaGone for 4 days and have found it to be very effective. I had an immediate reaction and expelled pieces of tapeworms and what appears to be some worms on the second and third day, but all has been calm today. My stomach is flatter after and I also have greater energy, am sleeping better and overall feel calm and centered. I’m also eating a cleansing diet. I’d be interested to hear other’s experiences with ParaGone. The instructions say to take for 15 days, go off of it for 5 days, then go back on for 15 days. Sounds like their are other parasite cleanses where you ...
