  <My first flush had the same kind of rocky experience
  you had at about the same time of night. I thought I
  was gonna die, and then wished I would.
  Well, it’s nice to know that, theoretically, it gets easier. I did my first
  flush over the weekend and I still feel like crap!
  I went through three quarts of apple juice plus a daily apple the few days
  before the flush. I was pretty much following a protocol I got from the
  local health food store. It calls for dissolving 4 Tbs of Epsom salts into
  3 cups of water, and then chilling. I didn’t follow the same time line (bed
  at 10 p.m.) so I started a little later. Took the first dose (3/4 c) at 8
  p.m. and the second dose at 10 p.m. I had planned to drink the olive oil
  mixture at about midnight and then hit the sack, but was still too busy
  running into the bathroom every ten minutes, and knew there was no way I’d
  be able to lie still for 1/2 an hour, so I waited until 1 to drink the oil
  mix. One of the flushes I’d read called for 1/2 c of olive oil - another
  
  for 1 c. so I split the difference and opted for 3/4 c mixed with grapefruit
  juice. I mixed it all up in the blender. Taste wasn’t bad, but I almost
  gagged anyway ’cause of the oily feeling in my mouth, but I got it all down.
  Went to bed. Slept very fitfully, but didn’t have to get up and use the
  bathroom. Next morning, first thing, another 3/4 c of the Epsom salt
  mixture. I certainly flushed out lots of junk. Tons of green pea stuff
  (I’m still not convinced those are stones,) then a lot of pellet looking
  thing-y’s. Reminded me of dry pet food floating around - assorted sizes and
  shapes but none too large. I couldn’t work up the energy to do the fourth
  dose of Epsom salts. Breakfast was an apple and a banana. Felt miserable
  all day Sunday, but thought it was due to lack of sleep as much as anything
  else. Slept pretty well Sunday night. Yesterday, I was achy and had a
  headache all day. My abdomen hurt. I couldn’t go to the bathroom. I
  finally tried a lemon juice, cleansing enema, last night. It helped some,
  but there was no way I could do it properly. Colon just too tender to
  retain it for longer than a minute. A little better today, but not much. I
  want to try a coffee enema, but I still haven’t had a regular BM, and the
  whole abdominal area is till very tender.
  It’s funny, I’ve gone through the protocol for a colonoscopy twice now.
  Never had any problem getting the system going again. But, it sure isn’t
  functioning normally yet!

  Hi Group,
  I want to know what part of magnesium sulfate is it that relaxes the
  bile duct? I would like to avoid using the epsom salts as I have been
  fasting for 10 days already and do not need it for cleaning the system
  out. If it is just the magnesium then I have a couple different forms I
  can take to ensure that the ducts relax.
  I would like to finish off tonight with another liver flush. Maybe then
  I can get a good start for the next flush. I started this cleanse with
  a liver flush and the epsom salts were almost to unbearable by the end
  of the first couple hours. : )

  <<I was wondering if you had incorporated
  the epsom salts into the routine, a few hours before the lemon and
  olive
  oil, that it might not have been as discomfortable.
  No, what I did was what I said I did. I took the OxyPowder instead of
  the epsom salts. I figured that would clean me out just as much. On
  the OxyPowder packet it says not to take at the same time as epsom salts.
  <<I was also wondering if stone free is something you take during a flush
  or is it something that you take longer term before a flush?
  Yes, you are meant to take it long term. But I read the ingredients
  and figured there was nothing in it which would harm if I took a large
  dose over a small period of time, so that’s what I did.

  <<Did you mix the olive oil and lemon together very good. Use a blender
  or shake vigorously.
  It really doesn’t taste all that bad mixed this way. and use a straw.
  I think that grapefruit really tastes better than the lemon juice.
  I did that last time and had a hard time swallowing it. This time I
  let the oil sit on the lemon. I don’t like grapefruit, so I would
  never drink it. Would orange work?
  I’m super sensitive to the smell of olive oil now. After flush #3 I
  had a hard time cooking with olive oil because I found the smell so
  bad after digesting so much.
  I’m considering the strawberries and cream, but I really dislike cream
  and always have done. I’m not sure I would do any better with that.

  I’m not sure about orange, but red grapefruit tastes much better than
  yellow. It’s very sweet.
