I've been reading remarks on this forum for about a week now. Tonight I'm starting my first flush. Two doses of ES and then the
OO (Olive-Oil) and Lemon Juice +
Black-Walnut Tincture. Unlike some on this board who are just doing it for a cleanse and healthier body, I'm doing it because I'm relatively certain I have a defective gall bladder. I'm 58. I have two brothers (60 & 66) and 1 sister (54) and all have had theirs removed and my 2 nieces (under 25) have also had theirs removed. I'm committed to a natural solution if at all possible!
I've had digestive problems for years, and in the last four have suffered even more from brain fog, headaches, dizziness and cold feet (to name a few afflictions). I've had endoscopies, colonscopies, ultrasound tests and in the last year a Heida Scan. The endoscopy (as I understand it) only looks in the stomace and the duodenum - not the various canals from the liver, gall bladder and pancreas. The colonoscopy only looks at the other end - Igot an A+ there. The ultra sound showed no inflammations and the Heida Scan only showed a sluggish - but functional - gall bladder with a lot of Sludge.
I've used a gall bladder friendly diet for over 3 years (filtered water, grilled and steamed goods - not fried - no sugar, etc.) But that has not cured the problem.
My allergist is currently treating me for a dozen airborne allergies (Mold, grain dust and grain smut to name a few) which he theorizes are cross reacting with foods that are related to the mold family (potatoes, onions, garlic, wheat, oats, strawberries, grapes, peanuts - to name a few). I'm going thru an immunotherapy program that will take 5 years to complete.
In recent months I sometimes get dizzy and have brain fog from just drinking water (UGH)! I also get pressure under my right breast - which I assume is from the gall bladder. I think the cold feet and lower back pain are probably from - what I understand - are sympathetic nerves.
Enough about my symptoms.....I'm confident this flush will be the beginning of
a new degree of health. Not expecting a miracle, but do expect to get some results. Even if I don't I'll plan to keep flushing every two weeks until I do!
