Yesterday, I ended up feeling so great by the afternoon, I took a client up on a last minute invite to the 7pm dress rehearsal of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I was able to enjoy a sweet tranny show without feeling the urge to crap my pants. It wasn’t until the end of the show that I felt the need to poop, but I figured I could make it home faster than waiting in line. I figured it was just a little bit of water anyway. So while you do go to the bathroom a lot on the seventh day of the liver flush, your body definitely gives you fair warning to get your ass on a toilet. More gallstones hadn’t come out since earlier, but I had some larger yellow ones come out when I got home.

Today, I had to give myself the final colonic to complete the liver cleanse. I learned why this last step is so critical. Moritz warns that you should get a colonic within two or three days after the flush because there will be residual stones stuck in the colon that will only come out via gravity colonic. I definitely saw some of the biggest stones through the colonic waste tube today. It was quite satisfying.

So I conclude with this: In retrospect, the cleanse was not dreadful. I predict that it will be much more manageable using malic acid in lieu of apple cider. I am not sure of the constitution of the stones, but expelling them was quite cathartic nonetheless. I do not need to take an entire day off on Day Seven. I will definitely do this all over again next month!

I managed to keep all of the fluids down last night and this morning. Epsom salt water at 6am is rough! I tried my best not to throw up and I succeeded. The morning was complete with watery bowel movements filled with tiny pebbles and a few bigger ones like the one pictured below. I always promised myself I would never be that girl that posts poop photos on the Interwebs, but this is different. It’s supposedly a gallstone. I’m trying my best to believe it’s not just coagulated olive oil (my olive oil is very green).

In any case, I feel great!! The cleanse calls for eating normally, but lightly for the next few days and getting another gravity colonic in the next day or two to make sure any residual stones are released. I had to take a break from the kidney tea for these two days of flushing, but will resume tomorrow for the next 15 days.

Today is the big day! Martin Luther King Day! And, of course, my liver flush! There will be colonics, epsom salt and olive oil to be had…

I was very happy to kiss the apple cider goodbye at approximately 10:45am this morning. I was then pressed to complete a second colonic treatment at 11:30am for a client who is completing her liver cleanse and then eat lunch all by 1:30pm.

Lunch consisted of white rice and sweet potatoes. Moritz recommends white rice and vegetables. Sweet potatoes probably aren’t the best choice as they’re a bit heavy, but they’re my favorite and I can’t eat for another 23 hours, so sweet potatoes it is! After lunch, I waited until 3:30pm to give myself a colonic and then rush home, picking up the Epsom salt and plastic wrap on the way.

I’ve already downed my first portion of Epsom salt water about an hour ago and I’m starting to feel a little queazy. One of my clients who just completed a liver cleanse yesterday said she threw up from the Epsom salt after holding it in for about an hour. I’m past the hour mark, so I’m hoping it stays down. I’ll keep you posted. I still have to drink another serving in about 45 minutes. It actually doesn’t taste bad at all (especially when you hold your breath) and you only need to drink six ounces at a time. I remember many years ago drinking a liter of salt water as part of the Master Cleanse. I do not recommend drinking a liter of salt water or doing the Master Cleanse. You basically starve yourself while binging on lemonade and salt water for 10 days, sharting your pants all the while. #Truestory. Anywho, this isn’t like that. Thankfully, the Epsom salt does not taste like salt. It has more of a sour mineral aftertaste that I find slightly less disgusting, so it is a little easier to put down. And I haven’t had an urge to run to the bathroom nor release any air down there. But I may puke!

Stay tuned!

2015 is going to be all about cleaning out my very very compromised liver!

I have many clients who religiously do the liver and gallbladder cleanse. At first, I just thought this was some crazy New Age crap: drinking apple juice like there’s no tomorrow for six days straight, washing that down with epsom salt water and then a cup of olive oil, followed by more epsom salt water and hundreds of pebbles flying out of your ass. In addition to all of that craziness, you need to get two colonics within a few days of each other. But I’ve witnessed some serious transformations over the years in my liver-flushing gals. I’ve seen dark under eye death circles disappear (my main motivator), severe eczema virtually vanish, and chronic flu symptoms disappear.

This, like any other New Year’s Resolution, is a serious commitment. Once one attempts a liver and gallbladder cleanse, they must continue to do them every month or two until they stop seeing pebbles in the toilet for two straight cleanses to make sure nothing gets stuck mid-expulsion, causing serious discomfort. This can take anywhere from six to twelve cleanses.

My liver cleansing journey begins next week on Wednesday, January 14, 2015. I’ll be blogging the whole way through in case you’re interested in joining my next go around in February.
