Thank you, Kitty! Those are good ideas for distracting myself while swishing and I’ll give them a try.   [End]

Oh good! Thank you very much. I had thought the sesame might have a strong flavor, but I needed confirmation because things aren’t always what they seem. I will look and see if The Vitamin Shoppe has the Hain sunflower oil and start with that. I tried with some coconut oil and I can tell it’s going to take some practice to be able to swish for 15 minutes. I got really bored and tired after just a couple of minutes lol. Thank you again!   [End]

Thanks to both of you for your responses! Which do you think tastes better... the sunflower or the sesame? I’m thinking sunflower, but I haven’t tried either one yet, so what do I know lol   [End]

I’m not going to get to the vitamin store for another couple of days for the oil I need, but I’d like to get started. I have olive oil and coconut oil. Can I use either one of those until I can pick up the right kind?   [End]

Are you using some kind of powdered kefir starter or are you making your kefir from actual kefir grains (looks a little like cottage cheese or pieces of cauliflower)? I use actual kefir grains and I didn’t like the taste of it either. I tried adding sweetner and stuff, but that just made it taste more gross to me. Finally, I brewed it so it would be more sour with more carbonation. This was the ticket, though I didn’t think it would be. Now it tastes like nothing (or milk) then just as I’m swallowing it has a nice lemon-like finish with the bubbles. I just drink it straight since t ...

Hi, You say you have suffered iritis for 4 years and have attacks. What is an iritis attack? I know iritis is swelling of the iris. Does your eye ever rip? This happens to me and I keep trying to learn what it is. My eyes mostly only rip during the 10 day window right before my period, so I figure hormones must have something to do with it. Magnesium makes it a little better.   [End]

Why not flush when menstruating? I’ve often wondered whether it was okay and couldn’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be. Any insights?   [End]

Hi, I just finished a 12 day Master Cleanse and did a SWF every morning. Here are my recommendations: Mix exact proportions of sea salt & water and take on an empty stomach. Do no drink additional water for at least 1 hour after drinking the SWF. 2 teaspoons sea salt 4 cups water (32 oz) Lay on your right side after downing the mixture to aid the stomach in dumping it out For your first time give yourself at least 2.5 hours at home by the potty On the MC forum, we call it ’butt pee’ and it is just like it sounds... Good Luck!   [End]

Hi, Me again lol. I came up with this genius plan to kill parasites with black walnut that is pretty painless, but I wonder if I’m reducing the effectiveness of the black walnut. Here’s what I’ve been doing... I go to Jamba Juice (a smoothie shop) and order my favorite smoothie with two boosts. I normally get an energy boost (ginko baloba & b vitamins & stevia) and love it, so that’s my first boost. Then the second boost is their fiber boost which as 6 different kinds of fiber (soluble and insoluble and stevia). Then I chase it with tons of water. Since it’s a smoothie, it’s c ...

Hi there, I got a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) a couple of months ago and had to take these nasty antibiotics that I was told were specially made for resistant UTI’s. To avoid the yeast infection I knew would follow, I took Super 8 Priobiotics. Well, the probiotics lost the battle and I wound up with a yeast infection anyway. After I finished the antibiotics, I started taking 1 Primal Defense pill a day (otherwise I throw up) which I had taken sporadically before because it made me throw up lol. I was so proud of myself for taking the Primal Defense regularly! But then I started ...

Hi, For the first time, I’m seeing references made to a salt water flush (took me a lot of reading to discern what SWF was lol), but even looking in the FAQ I can’t find anything that gives a recipe for it nor any reasons for why it’s important to do it. I’ve been doing liver flushes and love them, but it’s looking like a swf would be a good chaser to the liver flush. Can anyone give me details? ~Cynthia   [End]

Hi, If you’ve never had a gallbladder attack, then I wouldn’t worry too much about getting a stone stuck. It’s pretty intimidating thinking about all the possibilities, but that’s sorta like sitting around waiting for an earthquake. You can’t. You’ve just got to dive in and do what you want to do. It’s very unlikely that you’d get a stuck stone after having had no gallbladder attacks at all. I’ve had many gallbladder attacks and I don’t even worry about getting a stuck stone. The epsom salts dilate your gallbladder anyway These flushes are so gentle and not one aspect of them i ...

I just wanted to add that I haven’t had any trouble with the epsom salts either. In fact, any time I’ve had a gallbladder attack, I’ve felt wonderful after epsom salts. They taste nasty and I have no appetite after, but I feel wonderful and like I can rest - at peace with everything. Which leads me to think that a person’s happiness with epsom salts may be directly related to their need for magnesium. I know I have a magnesium deficiency and I don’t feel right if I don’t supplement enough with mag. If you have enough magnesium in your system then perhaps the epsom salts are a little ...

Hi, I use Tom’s of Maine Propolis & Myrrh toothpaste. I don’t think it’s got any sudsing agents in it and it doesn’t taint the taste of any food you eat afterwards (it rinses totally clean). I use the cinnamon flavor and it rocks. Other mass-marketed toothpaste brands make my gums bleed. This particular toothpaste doesn’t. I get very clean teeth and no toxic anything. The propolis is supposed to cut down on inflammation and stuff. It’s great... I won’t use anything else. Edited to add that I got mine in the organic section of Nob Hill grocery store. ©†ƒ……•™¼‡_Original_Message_¾€ ...

Hi, have you cut your sugar? When I say cut your sugar, I mean have you cut out soda, fruit juices, and other sugary drinks and restricted your diet to food choices low on the glycemic index so as to keep your blood sugar low and balanced? From all that I have read, cancer feeds on sugar (and so does a lot of other bad things like yeast, etc.). Also, the single greatest way to boost the power of your immune system (and you want it very strong all the time, but especially now) is to cut your sugar. You may totally have done this already, but I couldn’t tell from your post, so I thou ...

Hi turquoise. May I ask how long it took for die off to occur? I’m pretty sure candida is at the root of my allergy problems and sensivities and I’ve just cut my sugar two days ago and I’m wondering how long it will take for the candida to die off. Thanks very much. I was happy to see your positive message!   [End]
