Re: Question for Shellycat...
Hiya Ev!
I have very nice, comfy flushes. ;) Kind of a combiation of Julia's and Andreas' protocol. I take things to dissolve the stones, currently Gold Coin Grass and fresh-squeezed apple juice (for the malic acid) combined with carrot (takes fats out of bile) and parsley (good for kidneys). Or you can take Liquid Phosfood. That's what I took ten years ago when I first started flushing.
On the day of the flush, I make sure to eat things that are easily and quickly digested so that I can eat all the way up to 6:00 pm. I do a deep enema either that day or day before.
At 11:00 pm I take about 1/2 cup oil to 3/4 cup grapefruit juice. If I don't get enough juice out of the grapefruit, I top it off with lemon and/or orange.
Sometimes I drink half and drink the rest 30 minutes later, to make sure my tummy can take it without burping. ;) Peppermint candy really helps settle the tummy. Sometimes I take the same amount as the second dose.
Next morning I do a cleansing enema until everything clears (I have an enema bucket setup). I try to do at least two others over the next three days, because it's amazing how much bile and non-stone stuff is released from the liver.
That's it! Julia recommends doing a salt water flush, but that just tastes TOO gross. ;)
