I wanted to give some more in depth information to those who may never have done a cleanse of this type.
First, I want to mention that when I fasted, I thought of hamburgers and french fries the whole time. Not with the cleanse. I couldn't even think of what to eat when it was over.
.....for starters, the whole idea of "food in, food out" didn't do a thing for me thinking I don't want to poop for a while... but really, just no cravings other than being completely set with having some good easy veges or fruits. I'm just not real hungry.
...I do have a killer headache today and don't ever remember that side effect in the past.
I had some juice and then some onion, carrot soup with miso and seaweed broth. Today some oatmeal (1/2 serving) and now some soup. Hope that helps my headache but I'm not inclined to take advil seeing how I just cleaned out my liver and don't wan't to put anything bad back in so fast.
...Now, a word about how the cleanse works. The epsom salts act as a super flush, so about an hour after taking the first dose, sometimes longer, the bowels clean out - totally. About every 8 minutes it's a rush to the toilet and then everything just turns to water. By the time you've done the second dose, every 8 minutes or so is tiring. I forget how annoying it is.
...The olive oil and grapefruit juice isn't even yucky because I'm hungry and it's very satiating. You have to drink the stuff and lie still for at least 20 minutes. (The ducts are all open from the epsom salts and the concoction works on moving stones out) In other words, go to sleep! It's amazing that I never have a problem sleeping (after taking L-Ornithene).
I woke up feeling pretty drained this time which I don't recall.. usually I feel kind of energized - being all cleaned out. But I was Pooped! hah. I wasn't seeing a lot of gallstones, so I did a second dose of olive oil and grapefruit juice between the next epsom salt doses. Still not big results until I had the tea, so whatever did the trick, great.
I woke up in the night last night feeling achy - maybe from lying around for 2 days. I don't know. Maybe things working themselves out of my body. Told myself to absolutely, no excuses, do yoga this morning, which I did.
I'm sure the headache is food related somehow.
....One other amazing thing is that my jaw, which quit popping a while back but has continued to be sore (like out of whack) is now almost fine. no soreness whatsoever. So, if there was something stuck in there, maybe this cleanse moved it out.
My son said, "what do you care how your bloodwork come out if it's not how you usually are?
Good question. I'll let you know after I get the results back.
