Post number one eh? Not really. I've been writing about my experience of pregnancy and motherhood over here since January 2009 (has it really been two and a half years since I started that?) and I've come to realise that writing stuff down is good for a few reasons: A) you can't forget it, B) it's an incredibly useful reflective tool, C) it stops your brain over loading (in the manner I imagine a penseive would) and D) other people might enjoy/benefit from/be inspired by the sharing of your words.
My interest in flushing comes from the wonderful man that is my father. Aside from liver flushing he is a qualified Bates Vision Educator, so if you want to see without glasses and live near/don't mind travelling to Gloucestershire, look him up! Able2See is his rather informative site. I digress. I do that a fair bit. Back to flushing. He has completed twenty one flushes and finally they are clear so he now flushes once every six months rather than once a month. I've been with him on his flushing journey and remember the phone call after his first one quite clearly! What did I glean from his first experience? Don't flush your kidneys at the same time.
I am fortunate that I have his years of experience to consider in my own flushing experience. The thinking is that, as I am younger than him, I won't have to do so many before they are clear. However, I know I've done more undesirable things than my Dad so that remains to be seen. Something for which I am particularly grateful is not having to drink a litre of apple juice every day for six days! Dad has experimented with apple juice, gold coin grass tincture and malic acid powder diluted in water. I share his view that drinking so much apple juice for 6 days once a month is very expensive and too sickly/sweet for the body to cope with considering you are trying to cleanse. The gold coin grass tincture proved expensive as it seems the only place that ships it is in Canada and we are not. Malic acid is what is needed from the apple juice so why not go to the source? Indeed.
The next piece of advice from him is: the best time to let go of things is on a new moon. I shall therefore be planning my flushes so that the sixth day coincides with the new moon, or as close to it as I can get depending on family commitments (nobody wants to get caught short!)
As the flushes release toxins from the liver it is recommended to have colonic hydrotherapy along side them to help eliminate them and move things along the intestine*; I have booked a pre-flush colonic for this Thursday evening to begin the proceedings. I'm a bit dubious of the £25 colonic hydrotherapy fee quoted over the phone as everywhere else charges £60 - £65 per session! Fingers crossed eh?
What am I doing?! Once I start the ball rolling I can't really stop! When pregnant I said I wanted to do the flushes, but would obviously have to wait until not pregnant/breastfeeding/freakishly hormonal to do them. That time has arrived. It's all go...and now I'm...I'm...debating things with myself. I know it's not going to be a walk in the park and that experience differs for everyone. I also think that it will do me a lot of good. Snap out of it woman!
If I'm preparing myself as best I can, what else can I do?
The time is now. See you after my colonic!
* Funny (yet disturbing/thought provoking) story - a friend of my Dad has been vegan for a fair few years now and yet at a colonic therapy session after her 7th flush, the therapist pulled a piece of bacon out of her! GROSS AND MOTIVATING!
