I dedicated this weekend to do my first liver flush. I have to admit I was a little nervous. Drinking all that Epsom Salt and olive oil...? How was my liver going to react? Would I get nauseous or throw up? Eeeewww. Well as usual all my worrying was for nothing. I prepped the week prior by eating really clean. Mostly plant based diet. The day of, I just drank fresh juices. Then in the evening, I followed Mak1ah's protocol. She was very helpful in supporting me throughout. After drinking the olive oil, coconut, grapefruit juice mixture(which didn't taste as bad as I anticipated) I went to bed, laid on my right side all nite and slept 10 hours. I woke once, to some cramping. I believe the ornithine really helped with the sleeping. In the morning, I drank the last Epsom salt drink and stayed in bed a little longer.

Once my body started flushing the toxins and the stones out it was amazing seeing all those stones! Which had been blocking my bile ducts! HELLO no wonder I have digestive issues! I eat mostly raw food. Drink green smoothies daily and still struggle with improper, stagnant digestion. Well, guess what I learned this weekend? My liver makes these sweet, little gurgling noises. And that is a really good thing. To have a gurgling liver means something is working. My noises in my gut have been quiet and non-existent for years = constipation, stagnation, toxic build up, and gall stone build up. So after passing hundreds of those stones from my bile ducts and gall bladder Yesterday, I feel fantastic today!

Toxins out, Vitality in! I will continue to do this on a maintenance basis. It helped to have a weekend free and nothing planned but this. So I will just make sure I block out a weekend to do this monthly until I get most of the stones out.
Now that might sound weird but I have made a lot of lifestyle changes. When I was diagnosed with HCV 4 years ago They also discovered a mass in my stomach. It was removed surgically with clear margins, it was a rare cancer. I feel very fortunate and lucky! Hence the lifestyle changes. And yes eating mostly raw and vegan and green smoothies can be a pain in the butt sometimes but I feel so much better than I used to. And liver flushes can taste sort of yucky and require a bathroom for 12 hours but if I feel 100% better after and my liver is gurgling it is worth it. What I choose to eat is one of the few things I can control. And how I treat myself is also in my control.

This liver flush is another way to treat myself with loving kindness. Obviously my body was screaming for attention. Lack of digestion, frequent constipation, stagnation. I knew I needed to amp up my health regime. This liver flush was just what I needed. I had been thinking of doing one. I had read about them in books. I read Mak's post and was inspired. I had read about them on websites but FEAR held me back, I am really happy that I decided to feel the fear but do it anyway! Life mantra! Feel The Fear But Do It Anyway! We all know if we trust our gut ...hehe....it tells us what to do. My gut had been telling me for awhile.....hey YOU! Yes YOU! I am bloated. Feeling kind of yucky...kind of stagnant in here....can YOU do something...?
My experience was good. Stones And Toxins out, Vitality In!
