Hi MH, Is it the key to a successful flush to build up the bile by eating non fat food that day, without doing that do you really get many big stones out? I’m only looking to do a few liver flushes then plant fats for the rest of the way, thanks.   [End]

If a person didn’t mind taking lecithin straight, like a few tablespoons of it, then does it need to be diluted and mixed with another oil like olive oil, or is this only to make it go down easier? Will the liver process if the same way no matter if it’s straight or mixed with another oil? thanks.   [End]

I understand fasting, what it does and how it works, but the only approach for me that has worked in just not eating bad foods is to view all foods (even fruits) as drugs. The bad foods are drugs in that they may make you feel good temporarily they are bad. Even fruits taste great and help us, but they too only serve to give us minerals or aid the body, they are not fuel. This outlook works for me because I’ve never been tempted to do drugs or drink alcohol really, but I have struggled with foods, until i realized they are not foods, they are just like the drugs people take, just something ...

Is fasting easier if you select a specific amount of liquid to drink each day (like the pint or quart a day), this takes the hunger aspect out of it and you just drink the set amount and don’t have to worry about how much you should drink, I have tried fasting and have not been succesful as a result of not really setting an amount for each day, any thoughts?

MH I’m confused about bile production, liver flushes would have you believe that bile is produced only in response to eating foods, like digestion of foods triggers bile production, but when fasting we want to release the bile that builds up, which would lead me to believe that bile is made continually and its only during a fast this it is not used. So if a person fasted all day wouldn’t their bile be all the way built up, even without eating fat free food that day?   [End]
