Yakumo,

Here's my thinking:

As far as the lack of diahrrea with the Epsom Salts , your body may have been very low in Magnesium; at least it seems for some that post, that is the case. When that is the case, apparently the body accepts/absorbs/uses the ES differently, sometimes without causing diahrrea. But whether it causes diahrrea or not, it still relaxes the biliary ducts.

Stools that are lighter in color indicate the presence of bile & cholesterol/fat, so it seems that your liver/gall bladder certainly got rid of something...especially since the pain in your liver region has subsided. Just because there are no "stones", doesn't mean the flush wasn't effective or successful.

I don't know your level of knowledge, but what most refer to as "stones" here on Curezone are not technically "stones" (such as calcified kidney & gallstones), rather they are soft globules of cholesterol, bile, toxins & fat (some seem to be created around toxins and/or parasites...which makes sense, as our bodies tend to encapsulate things to keep them from harming our body). Anyway, from what I've read, very few people have any pain when doing a liver/gallbladder flush, with the ES or without...unless they're already experiencing severe pain & blockage before they flush.

Again, not knowing anything about you, I don't know how many bowel movements you were having daily before the flush, or after the flush. If you flushed into a clogged colon, the build-up of toxins & maybe stones, might still be in your intestines...in which case I highly recommend a couple of enemas or a colonic to clean yourself out. Not releasing all the toxins from your system could be the reason for your weakened digestion and loose stools. But of course, there could be many other reasons, as well.

Most practictioners do not recommend repeating a flush until your system has had a chance to recover/normalize for at least two weeks, however there are several things you can do to strengthen/soothe the liver and gall bladder, without doing a harsh flush. The Aryurvedic herb, Triphala, is a strong liver support herbal blend, as well as a strong source of natural Vitamin C and a gentle laxative (when I take it, my stools become 'fattier' (indicated by floating and needing more "paper work"), lighter in color , and looser...and I feel less toxic, in general. I have only experimented with it myself briefly, but it comes highly recommended by Dr. Andreas.

The other thing I highly recommend (which I have experienced and recommended to others with great success), is Dr. Schulze s Liver/GB formulae, and herbal tea (I've pasted the ingredients and why/how it works below). Not only do these products strengthen and soothe the liver & gallbladder, but when taken as part of Dr. Schulze s 5 Day Liver/GB flush, they also provide a basic anti- parasite cleanse.

It sounds to me like you're on the right track. Just keep researching and listening to your body, and you'll be much better soon :)

Liver/Gallbladder and Anti parasite Tonic Formula
Formulae:

Milk Thistle seed, Dandelion root and leaf, Oregon Grape root, Gentain root, Wormwood leaf and flower, Black-Walnut hulls, Ginger rhizome, Garlic bulb and Sweet Fennel seed.

Therapeutic Action:

The herbs in these formulae are famous for their abiltiy to stimulate, cleanse and protect the liver and gall bladder and rid the body of parasites.

Milk Thistle has certain chemicals not only bind to and coat liver cells. These phytochemicals not only heal previous liver damage but also protect the liver from future damage. Oregon Grape rootbark, Gentian root, Wormwood leaves and Dandelion root are all classic bitter liver tonic herbs. These herbs not only stimulate digestion but also stimulate the liver to excrete more bile which in turn cleans both the liver and gall bladder. If you have been exposed to any toxic substances, had constipation, eaten large amounts of animal food or drunk alcohol or other harmful beverages this formula is for you. It is also beneficial if you have had high cholesterol, blood fats or any family history of liver or gall bladder problems. Many believe that anyone who has cancer or any immune dysfunction had a weak congested liver to begin with. Even if a person has had their gall bladder removed these herbs will still be effective to clean the liver and bile ducts. The Black-Walnut hulls, Wormwood and Garlic are strong ANTI-PARASITICAL plants. parasite infestation is a fact of life. One cubic inch of beef can have over 1,000 living parasites larvae waiting to hatch in your body. Over 65% of fresh fish tested has toxic levels of bacteria and parasites. Chicken is even worse. I've had hundreds of patients expel bowels full of intestinal parasites, tape worms over 30 FEET LONG and also kill cellular parasites with these formulae. It works best if used in conjunction with both Intestinal Formula #1 and #2. Use if parasites are suspected, or if there has been a history of bowel problems, constipation, eating of animal products, prolonged illness, disease or degeneration.

Dosage:

2 dropperfuls (70 drops) 4-5 times daily for 1 week. Most effective if used in conjunction with the next formula, the Detoxification Herb Tea also my 5 Day Cleansing & Detoxification Program with the Liver/Gall Bladder Flush. (See details later in this handbook...)

Detoxification Herb Tea

Formulae:

Roasted Dandelion root, Burdock root, Pau d' Arco inner bark, Cinnamon bark, Cardamon seed, Licorice root, Fennel seed, Juniper berries, Ginger root, Clove buds, Black Peppercorns, Uva Ursi leaves, Horsetail herb, Orange peel and Parsley root.


Therapeutic Action

This tea has numerous health benefits. First, it is based on an ancient East Indian digestive tea formula. Over the years in my clinic I have seen my patients eat almost anything and survive if they drank a cup of this tea before, during and after the meal. It is a stimulant to the entire digestive process, especially the stomach during the first stages of digestion.

This tea also mildly cleanses the blood, skin, liver, and gall bladder and is the perfect tea to use after the liver flush. It flushes out the bile and fats that the Liver Flush purged from your liver and gall bladder. It is also a mild diuretic and disinfectant to the kidneys and bladder and will cause you to urinate a little more within an hour after ingestion.

This tea is also an excellent coffee replacement. It is a hot beverage, dark in color and tastes good. It's even better when a little pure maple syrup is added to the final brew. It also increases your circulation but has no caffeine. I used it in my clinic successfully for years to help people get off the coffee habit.


Dosage:

2 cups of the tea consumed 15 minutes after doing your Liver/Gall Bladder Flush. It can also be drunk at any other time during the day, as many cups as desired.

Put 1 tablespoon (medium) or 2 tablespoons (strong) of this tea into 20 ounces of distilled water. Be sure to use only stainless steel or glass cookware. Let the tea sit in the water overnight. In the morning heat up to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes. Strain the herbs, do not discard them, let cool a bit but use hot. Put the used herbs back into the pot, add 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs and 20 ounces of pure water. Let sit overnight and repeat whole process again. Keep adding new herbs to old ones for three days, then discard all herbs and start over.
