Hey everyone. I’ve been battling parasites for a long time and feel I’m doing a lot right, but I know there are things I could do to step it up but haven’t brought myself to doing so yet. I have a wide range of buggers, confirmed through bioresonance, and the ones I see most frequently when I parasite cleanse is flukes. Those seem to be the toughest to get rid of. I’ve done the RX route, which helps briefly but then it comes back, and I do take 1 tablespoon of barefoot dewormer a day (or every other - which may not be enough), and 3-3-3 LBBs per day. I also recently started Zymex II ...

I’ve done colonics and enemas before, and have not had a problem. The only difference this time was the LF, as many of these problems started well before the addition of castor oil, extra oxypowder, tons of enemas, etc. The only possibility I could see is depletion of good gut flora, ...

Hi guys, Thank you all so much for your good advice. I do think I will try the Castor Oil for a week, even though it seems unconventional. The day after I used the Castor Oil, I was doing better (most noticeably I had no problems at night, which I’ve been having). I think I was just afraid of daily usage of, based on things I’ve read. I’ll start with 3 days (Morning and Night) and see how that goes, and if I feel I can do the full 7. As for the probiotics and focusing on rebuilding, I have been working on that for a while and continue to take probiotics. After my colonic, I actua ...

Hi everyone, I did my second liver flush 13 days ago, so almost 2 weeks ago. After the flush itself, I felt fine - same as before. As a side note, prior to the flush, I did a salt water enema (the day of). And I did OxyPowder for a few days prior to that, along with the malic acid for softening. The day after the flush, I started feeling a bit of tightness/pressure around where my bra goes on the bottom (below the breasts). I had a colonic scheduled for the following day, but did some OxyPowder again anyway. The next day, I had my colonic, and that night and the day after I felt tota ...

Thanks for the suggestion. I did that 3 times. It dehydrated and caused me to become more ill (I have addison’s disease) so when I hvae diarrhea it can send me into a crisis. I did 3 of them. Between Oxy-powder, enemas, and epsom salt, I’m putting a lot of strain on myself which has been harmful and has made me ill (and can be life-threatening). I am a bit frustrated that this all happened because of the flush -- and it was definitely because of the flush. it’s possible it stirred something up, but isn’t feeling worth it right now :( And I’m still feeling no better...I got so bloated afte ...

Hi Guys, I am new to this forum. I am also on the Liver Flush Forum. I have done 2 Liver Flushes, and the second one left me not feeling well. I’ve had awful bloating and gasiness that I have not experienced in quite a while. It won’t seem to quit. Someone from the other forum recommended something that I wanted to ensure was safe. I also had a couple of questions. 1) She recommended taking a Tablespoon of Castor oil in some hot lemon water for 7 straights days both at night and in the morning-- she suspects I now I have liver flukes that moved to my intestines causing problems, and ...

Can I ask what brand of Castor oil you used? Most I am finding say EXTERNAL use only. I know the NOW Castor oil pills are fine, but probably not as effective. How often can you use the CO to remove parasites, toxins, etc?   [End]

Hey HM, sorry...guess you can’t get rid of me quite yet. lol. After dinner tonight, the stupid gurgling thing returned. Blah. I did some reading on castor oil, and just want to be sure its safe to use for a week, twice a day. I saw that the cleanse (where you mix w OJ) is monthly or bimonthy only. On another site, I saw castor oil should be a temporary thing for no more than 3 days. I just wanted to be sure that 2x a day for a week is truly safe. Also, when you say 1T you mean tablespoon right? I started tonight but just did 1yep ...just to see how it goes to start...   [End]

Final and last concern. It arrived...but in looking at the bottle I’m concerned bc it says for external use only and lists hair, face etc. The website says hexane free but I didn’t see it on the bottle. It’s called foxbrim castor oil... I tried to copy the link from Amazon but it didn’t work. And do they all say external use only?   [End]

Well said - and everything you said makes a ton of sense. I am going to stop the Epsoms and start the Castor Oil. One last question. I am traveling to NY tomorrow to see a concert, and want to be sure I’m not needing to be ”bound to the toilet.” If I take the Castor Oil tonight and tomorrow morning, should I be ”cleared” out by 2/3pm-ish? If not, I’ll wait until Wednesday night to start my 1 week regime. Thank you so much again!!! I am feeling more hopeful about the healing process and am definitely beginning to understand...   [End]

Hey HM. Thanks for your very good advice about the Epsom Salts. It definitely seemed to help with the bloating (thank goodness) but oddly made my whole stomach/intestine area hurt a bit-- kind of like they were sore but not quite. I wasn’t sure why that was, but honestly it was much less uncomfortable than the bloating. My stomach looks flater and when I press on my stomach, it doesn’t hurt from all the gas build up in there. It’s not 100% yet, plus I have some of that residual soreness or whatever, so I took only a TSP of Epsoms last night, which didn’t incite a BM, so I took close to ...

I am going to order the castor oil online then but won’t have it til Thursday. I seriously feel horrible and every day seems worse. I feel really out of it and nauseous too. I’ll do the castor oil, but what in the meantime? My new enema kit comes tomorrow so I’m gonna do enemas tomorrow. My flush was a week ago, so not sure if you thought I should do the epsom salt now. I’ve been using oxy powder which hasbt helped.   [End]

hm, Thank you for,this advice. I think the castor oil at my supermarket doesn’t say hexane free. Is that ok or is it necessary. I can prob order hexane free online but eager to feel better asap.

Southern belle, did you have any discomfort after flushing? I’m feeling so awful for a week. I’m at apathy and started crying bc my bloating is so severe and out of nowhere and new for me, that it’s hard to not feel like these flushes are hurting me. I want to keep going, but im scared I’m making myself,worse and I’ve worked too hard on my diet to do that   [End]

Hey. I have been taking digestive enyzmes for a while now. I’m definitely doing everything I should be doing. Well the bloating and discomfort started pre-colonic, so I’m more thinking it was the Flush, especially since I’ve had about 10 colonics in the past with this problem with no real issues. Are you suggesting I take a break from flushing for a while?   [End]

Hey guys. It’s been another 2 days and I’m still experiencing very uncomfortable bloating and indigestion, despite taking OxyPowder the last 2 days. Also, before my LF, I did several days of Oxy-Powder, did a retention water enema on the day of my Flush to clean out my colon, and then got a professional colonic the Tuesday after my LF (I finished the flush on Sunday morning). I feel like I’ve done everything I should do. I eat a very restricted diet, and have for 3 years because of candida. However, I haven’t had indigestion and bloating for a LONG time, so this is new for me. I’m really a ...

Thank you all so much for your encouragement and thoughts. I did a hulda clark parasite cleanse maybe a month pre LF which may have been too long. I’ve been ok but semi forgetful about weekly maintenance with huldas parasite supplements. And I’m definitely on a good probiotic! The Candida battle has been the toughest challenge of my life. Pre LFs, I do oxy powder for a few days then a retention enema the day of the flush. Afterwards i do a colonic. Think thats sufficient? I’ll keep on flushing and trying   [End]

I’ve done 2 LFs thus far. After the first, I got a rectal yeast infection. I worried I’d get it again so I used an antifungal cream on advance.

Isn’t bile alkaline? I ask this bc my naturopath has me testing the Ph of my urine several times a day. With the help of a very veggie oriented diet and alkanizing supplements, I keep my Ph mostly in the neutral zone. I’ve done 2 LCs to date and both times, on day 2 of the LC (ie on the day I release green ball ”stones”), my Ph was acidic. Shouldn’t it be alkaline or at least neutral w all that green bile??? That is of course if that’s really what it is...   [End]

Ok thanks! I did the malic acid starting 5 days prior to the flush and then in the am on the 6th day which was my cleanse day. Good to know about the coffee enemas. Next time I’ll just do a salt water enema to empty my colon. Thank you!!   [End]

I did my first liver flush yesterday and experienced the fun rectal burning many of you described. I finished the flush yesterday and now I have some irritation and also rectal redness. I am prone to rectal yeast so I’m just trying to figure out if it’s normal for the LF or if that flaired some rectal yeast or ringworm. I saw lots of comments about burning but none about redness or irritation after the fact. Thanks!   [End]

Hi Archer. Thanks for your response. I appreciate it. I’m not sure why fasting would fix my yeast problem. I do follow a strict candida diet. The truth is I feel I’ve gotten the yeast down to a lower level but I can’t get rid of it entirely or eat normal food (when I do try, I will often have a problem which is annoying). I’m glad to hear I can still do the flush, but was hoping it would be more effective than the way you are speaking about it. I never had a candida problem until I took an antibiotic...that is how this started. Prior to that, even with Addisons, I had 0 problems despite ...
