Hi, Demi
I'm glad you asked.
Yes, I still feel something sometimes, but it's not the same.
First, I'd like to say that I have never done any other 'cleanse' in any form; nor am I a qualified 'researcher'. I'm just trying to tell my experience with some herbs, as best I can.
Second, I don't think White Tiger designed this formula; it's just one he prefers, I believe.
I was thinking to add a fourth post to the three where I wrote this up, but thought I'd wait for a day or two, to see how this winds down, or what happens when and if I decide to make another pot of tea.
Immediately after I finished the third post, I realized I had spoken too soon. Puttering in the kitchen once more, I got another ache. This time it was more of a steady feeling, and it seemed (to me) to be in the gallbladder. Interestingly, it didn't make me Oo-oo and Ah-h as before. I sat down quick in my chair. And I let myself sleep here once more.
The next day, yesterday, working in the kitchen, I eventually got the beginnings of the same ache...but I kept it at bay, by sitting/napping/avoiding much arm movement, etc.
Also yesterday, I drank the last cup of the tea, room temperature.
There is some 'heaviness' in the gallbladder; and I've been contemplating more of the magnesium oxide/lemon or lime juice mixture (whatever is in that bottle) as my BM's haven't returned to my usual routine.
In the one-each-day (from the mixture) I haven't noticed anything except a slight tendency to constipation...other than that one 'perfect' movement near the beginning of the tea-drinking.
I am not trying to catch and examine anything, just 'looking'.
I've notice some sense of small stone movement through the duct, on its way to the bowels, but it has been so slight as to make me wonder if it isn't imaginary.
I awoke bright and fresh at 8 a.m. this morning, which pleased me no end. I can feel that gallbladder weight if I wiggle and bend my waist.
Luckily, my husband is back to his normal chipper self this morning. In fact, he is so much restored that he'll meet a buddy and get the car in for servicing, as it was cancelled one week ago, when he got vertigo...and scared the beejeebers out of me.
He's headed out, so I face steaming out a kitchen cupboard or two, though he'll feel bad if I do much on my own...he's that kind of guy.
Right this moment, I feel a little ache in my gallbladder. Not much, but it is there.
Maybe I'll make another batch of the tea. It is so mild, yet it works.
I'd like to make another point that may be helpful...
...The body seems to adjust to new procedures, sort of slowly, and then come to 'expect' the treatment, or a rest from treatment, something.
That sentence may not make much sense as it reads, but somehow the little things I do seem to follow a kind of 'rhythm'...a little of this, a little of that, give it a rest for now...change the routine, and so on.
The brain is just the 'watcher'...seeing that there is no extreme, and that nothing gets ignored.
I feel very fortunate that my time is my own, and that my dear husband makes no demands while I find my own path. Happily, I am pleased and ready to do things for him, as well. We worked out this past week of 'health care' quite comfortably, I am glad to report.
I'll get back to you, Demi, if anything spectacular happens.
Hope this helps.
My best,
fledgling
