			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LIVER/GALLBLADDER CLEANSE</p>
<p>Ingredients :</p>
<p>4 tablespoons of oral Epsom salts<br />
1 tablespoon Vitamin C powder<br />
* cup virgin olive oil<br />
1 large fresh grapefruit<br />
2 glass jars with lids<br />
16 oz. apple juice + beet juice</p>
<p>Procedure :</p>
<p>For 5 days preceeding the flush, drink as much organic apple juice<br />
as you can stand.</p>
<p>First day:</p>
<p>1. 9:00 am: Eat a breakfast of cooked porridge, no milk or butter;<br />
8 ounces apple juice + beet juice; baked potato, no<br />
butter<br />
2. 2:00 pm: Mix 4 tablespoons of oral Epsom salts and 1 Tbsp of<br />
Vitamin C powder in 3 cups of cold water in one jar, and<br />
refrigerate<br />
3. 3:00 pm: Have an enema<br />
4. 6:00 pm: Drink * cup of the cold Epsom salts<br />
5. 8:00 pm: Drink * cup Epsom salts<br />
6. 9:45 pm: Pour * cup olive oil into the second jar; squeeze out<br />
* cup grapefruit juice and add to the olive oil. Close<br />
the jar lid and shake hard until watery.<br />
7. 10:00 pm:Drink the potion. Lie down immediately. Lie still on<br />
your back and go to sleep.</p>
<p>Second day:</p>
<p>1. 9:00 am : Drink * cup Epsom salts. Go back to bed.<br />
2. 11:00 am : Drink * cup Epsom salts. Go back to bed.<br />
3. 1:00 pm : Get up and drink 8 ounces apple + beet juice.<br />
4. 2:00 pm : Eat a banana or an orange<br />
5. 6:00 pm : Eat a light supper of salad and fruit; no meat</p>
<p>Many stones will be seen in the toilet upon the first bowel movement<br />
after a liver cleanse. It may take several cleanses over a period of<br />
months to clear all of them out from the liver.</p>
<p>Following a liver cleanse, it is useful to have several coffee enemas</p>
<p>to pull further toxins that are stored in the liver.</p>
<p>To make the coffee enemas use orgainic coffee and distilled water.<br />
Put 7 Tablespoons coffee into 11 cups of distilled<br />
water in a large pot. Bring to a boil and boil 3 min.<br />
Then reduce heat and simmer for 15 min. more.<br />
Let it cool and strain. This is enough for<br />
2 coffee enemas.</p>
<p>Repeat spring and fall.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Here is a way to gently flush your liver and gallbladder if you<br />
do not want to try the vigorous one:</p>
<p>Lemon Juice and Olive Oil Flushes Toxins from the Liver.</p>
<p>Extra Virgin Olive Oil increases the flow of bile from the Liver. This<br />
helps the liver get rid of<br />
accumulated toxins and poisons. Lymph fluid then drains into the liver<br />
for processing and<br />
eliminating waste products of cellular metabolism.<br />
This lemon drink restores the ph of the saliva<br />
and helps your body absorb nutrients from food better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have done 7 liver flushes in the last 26 months<br />
and am feeling great these days.</p>
<p>Almost EVERYONE over age 25 has some stones<br />
in the liver and gallbladder whether<br />
they are detectable on ultrasound or not.<br />
They can be tiny &#8211; like grains of sand from<br />
what I have read.</p>
<p>I never had ANY gallbladder symptoms<br />
or attacks nor was I ever officially<br />
diagnosed with gallstones prior to my first flush.<br />
I had just read that almost<br />
everyone over age 25 has gallstones and it is best<br />
to get them OUT. So that was the reason I<br />
did my first flush back in March of &#8217;98.<br />
I DID pass some gelatinous looking things that<br />
were greenish -<br />
none larger than a small pea. I felt lousey &#8211; bloated and<br />
not hungry the next day. But after that I felt great<br />
until last November when I did have what I read are some symptoms<br />
of gallstones.</p>
<p>In Nov. of &#8217;98 I began having symptoms of<br />
gallstones &#8211; bloating, belching and<br />
sometimes loose bowels &#8211; a stange sensation<br />
of tightness in my right rib area and also<br />
the same knind of sensation in my right<br />
upper back &#8211; but no pains or nausea.<br />
THEN I read that it is very important to do<br />
several liver<br />
flushes about two &#8211; four weeks<br />
apart, because as you get out the larger stones, the smaller ones move<br />
forward &amp; clog the<br />
biliary ducts even more than the bigger ones did.<br />
I even read as long as you get stones out, you must<br />
KEEP flushing, no more often than 2 weeks apart.<br />
It can take up to 9 flushes to get them all out!!!<br />
So this year I have done 5 additional flushes.</p>
<p>I am a 52 year old female in pretty good health.<br />
I am not overweight and I am physically active.</p>
<p>Supposedly the epsom salts dilates the<br />
bile ducts and the stones do not get stuck.<br />
I had no pain or any problems during the<br />
actual flushes themselves.<br />
The stones I got out were the consistency of<br />
crumbled cheese &#8211; you could mash them<br />
and they were greenish &#8211; and none was larger than a pea.<br />
Many were very tiny!!!</p>
<p>The flushes I did were.<br />
sort of like Hulda Clarke reccommends:</p>
<p>For several days prior to the flush, drink as much organic<br />
apple juice as you can.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The bed seemed to be a bit wider than an average bed, but perhaps that was<br />
from the position that I saw it in&#8212;-the back was 100% vertical, w-a-y high<br />
up in the air, and the lower third was totally vertical to the floor, like a<br />
big stair-step shape. It was that way so Stephen could just stand right up<br />
and be out of bed and on his feet. Pretty neat, huh?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>could anyone please tell me the long term effects these opperations<br />
have. Particularily the intestinal bypass surgery. I have gone thru some<br />
of your e mail and it seems that all the info there is recent. Is there<br />
any serious long term risks and has any one asked about average life<br />
expectancy with having the surgery. I really do not wish to rain on<br />
anyones parade and had joined the list hoping to find out this info, but<br />
so far nothing. So I have had to come on and ask these questions right<br />
out. thank you</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi All: I visited with Sara Ellen for over an hour this afternoon at<br />
Alvarado. She looked very good. Good color, very with it and able to<br />
eat ice chips. She is working on getting her water faucet flowing<br />
again. She has been up and will be working on more walking.</p>
<p>Her DH, Andy, was there and had the lap top hooked up. So she was able<br />
to post to all right from her hospital bed! She mentioned that she<br />
enjoyed everyone&#8217;s posts. For fun, I took my book of before and after<br />
pictures to her to see. All is going well and Sara Ellen should be<br />
released from the hospital tomorrow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sharon,<br />
Do you think that it is worse for those of us on thyroid medication? I<br />
know that when my thyroid was out of whack, I had tremendous hair loss.<br />
After correct medication it grew back, but I hate to think that it is going<br />
to be worse after I finally get my WLS than the last time. What do you<br />
think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just read a very entertaining article in the NY Times about how sizes have<br />
grown larger over the years. I was bewildered by the reports of so many women<br />
on this list that all of a sudden they&#8217;re in a 12 or 14 when they&#8217;re still<br />
over 200 pounds. I wore a 12 when I was 23 and weighed 130. I couldn&#8217;t<br />
figure it out. Well, it seems women don&#8217;t want to look into their closets and<br />
see 16s, 18s and 20s. Voila&#8211;smaller numbers for larger clothes. The article<br />
said Marilyn Monroe, who supposedly wore a 14 back then, would fit into<br />
today&#8217;s size 8.</p>

We&#8217;re having a memorial service for him Thursday.</p>
<p>I heard about this and was about to go looking for my surgeon to operate on me<br />

doing the right thing by having this surgery.</p>
