  Sorry. The chemical formula for Epsom Salts.

  I’ll give my take on your questions….
  1) The Epsom Salts are used not only to make the ducts more elastic but also
  to clean out the bowels. If you try it you’ll see how VERY effective it is
  at the latter! So the reason that they are suggested to be used in the
  morning, from what I understand (not being a medical professional and just
  going by what I’ve read) is to initiate additional bowel movement in order to
  eliminate the stones/chaff/sludge that has been dumped by the gallbladder.
  2) I can think of two reasons for using olive oil. The first is that it is
  less costly than other options such as flax seed oil. More importantly,
  though, olive oil has a lot of tremendous healing qualities, so it is a very
  healthy substance to ingest. So it may be possible that any fat would
  work, but since a cleanse is a healing thing to do it only makes sense to use
  a substance that is also good for the body.
  And as for a high fat diet cleansing on a regular basis, in theory this would
  
  only work if it was alternated with periods of no fat. When you ingest no
  fat the bile builds up in the gallbladder, which is what makes the flush more
  effective, since there’s obviously more fluid to flush the stones out with.
  That’s my perspective on your questions. If you don’t feel that I’ve
  answered them or would like clarification of what I meant, please feel free
  to ask. in health,

  1) I understand that the MGSO4 is used to dilate the openings to the
  gall bladder and liver. Is it recommended that someone new to
  flushing use MGSO4? Also, if MGSO4 is used only for dilation, then
  why is it required after the ingestion of the olive oil?
  2) Is there something unique to Olive Oil that makes it work for this
  method? Or will any oil/fat work? I have read a few websites that
  basically say that any oil/fat should work. That introducing large
  quantities of fat/oil after a period of fasting forces the gall
  bladder to expile stones and bile. Could someone clarify this? If
  this is true, then does that mean if I do not eat anything for 12
  hours and then ingest a large quantity of fat/oil (say 2 sticks of
  butter) that this will cause stones to be flushed out?
  The reason that I ask is I have been following high fat diet for
  several years and I’m wondering if I’m already flushing my
  gallbladder/liver regularly.

  “but there are other cleanses which do not use it….one uses
  whipping cream. It is my opinion, only, that the liver passes chaff,
  and smaller cholesterol crystals on a daily basis, as it’s normal
  function; every time it secretes bile, it is flushing itself. I know
  Dale has posted before about the kinds of fats that are most
  beneficial to the liver, but I don’t think two sticks of butter
  qualify!”
  Adrienne,
  Thanks for your response. I was just throwing butter out there as an
  example, however, I am of the mind that it can be a “good” fat and am
  not really concerned with it in my diet.
  When I get a free weekend, I think I may give this a try!
  Thanks again,
  Seth

  Thanks for your thoughts rachel.
  I always like to think things through before giving them a try.
  Even though I do not have any liver/gallbladder symptoms that I know
  of, I probably will try the Hulda Clark method when I get a free
  weekend. I do not see how the flush can do any harm and I’m of the
  mind that we should try the less harmless things first when trying to
  acheive health.
  Thanks again,
