No need to fear the liver flush. The worst part of it is it's messy, the epsom salts make you run to the bathroom quite a bit. The hardest part is cleaning the toilet the next day. But you'll feel great when it's over. Everyone here who has done it says the same thing. Including me. I am set for my 3rd and last one for a while at the end of this week. Nice thing is it's gets rid of all the dead parasites from your cleanses too. .. really unclogs your system.
The calcium/magnesium with feverfew really does the trick for my daughter, she's 13. She's in the midst of a parasite cleanse now too and if I'm lucky I'll be able to convince her to bear with a liver cleanse downline as well. She's quite healthy, just maintenance in her case. She does take vitamins, and iodine. Not everyday but regularly, a few times a week. We have been using himalayan sea salt since about last January, we've used sea salt of other types for years. She really likes the flavor of the himalayan salt so that's not a problem. We always eat organic, grow our own and bottle lots of stuff for winter. She really is quite healthy, won her school spelling bee a couple weeks ago and now she has to snatch the county prize... it's her second time around already for that so she's seasoned. I think she can make the state competition this year. There are $$$ prizes that interest her, she's old enough to know the value of ten bucks by now. Plus she's been coached pretty good by now too.
The calcium/magnesium feverfew trick is great for muscles aches/cramps. But i would leave the minerals out and just use feverfew for headaches. I read somewhere that you have to take fevefew for a full month before seeing relief from headaches, but not true. With the fresh homegrown stuff one good dose, maybe two, is all it takes. I eat feverfew about once a week, maybe twice, just a few leaves. Beats Bayer by a longshot.
Sorry you had to lose your appendix to medical stupidity sunflower. But it was probably before the days of the internet too when we could share and scope out all this great herbal info too. Like, i have balck walnut tress left and right up here and never knew till last year when i researched it on the net that they were good for deworming. I did that because one of my daughter's friends had a bad bad case of worms last year and had to see a doctor for it. I figured we probably all have it and better get serious about dealing with stuff like that. The liver flush is probably good for your appendix too I think. I always take the goldenseal root extract after the liver flushes to get rid of bacteria that comes out with the stones.
My last monthly was the mildest i've had in years. I can only attribute it to the parasite cleanses and liver flush. I used to get cramps in my legs of all places and didn't even experience that this time. That's a first in many years. When I did the first liver flush I felt that thigh/upper leg muscle cramping for about an hour or two, which was weird to get it at the wrong time of the month, and then I haven't had it since, that was almost 6-7 weeks ago now. I had gotten that every month for at least 4-5 years, real tired crampy legs for about 2 days. Weird to think that your liver affects your legs but apparently.
In some of the parasite info I read, it was saying that pinworms, which are very very common, can actually cause female problems. The worms I expelled did look like pinworms. I have a funny feeling my daughter may have picked it up too, but we'll take care of it. She has a couple friends that I think have bad wormy problems, one of them she sleeps over at her house and they sleep together in the same bed, yuck, good way to catch parasites and who knows what else. I think she's done with that for now though, she read the parasite info too and has not bothered to argue the facts. She takes her black walnut hull and cloves without complaint. There's a link to parasite info in this thread up above, the parasite photo gallery.
We may have lost sunshine in this conversation somewhere by now but that should be enough to get his attention and urge him to get his wife onto the parasite cleanse too.
What else is weird, i got the same achy bones/joints sensation for a bit last night after taking cloves, then walnut hull several hours later. Only for a bit, it's gone already. But I took some minerals with iron the other day... that is the very first time in a long time that I have taken an iron supplement, which i take rarely but now and then, but anyway it's the first time in a long time that i have taken iron and not gotten a headache afterward. I think even my joints and bones are cleaned out by now, they actually sort of feel that way, we'll see I guess. I betcha I had a lot of mercury seep in there and it probably dragged some bacteria in with it.
So that's interesting. I am finished with my whole hog parasite cleanse in a couple days. I have been eating black walnut hull for weeks. It makes me feel so good I don't want to let up but i think it's time. What a blessing, the walnut hull. I think it takes care of so many things. I am going to make carrot/walnut cakes with the nuts.
