basement shitter? no freaking way. Somehow, Dick Rohm has figured out how to shit ABOVE THE WATER LINE, on the inner wall of the toilet!!!! how the fawk he pulled that one off, I have no clue.

regarding the flush, yes it's very gentle but I've pooped 7 times today. I wonder if that's the senna cap moving things through faster. Usually, I just feel a deuce coming on and rather than hold it, I just go drop it. today it worked out to 7 times lol.

relax....I was out of town for 2 days...lol
No, flax seed oil will not do the same thing the husks do....unless of course you drink a gallon of flax....stick with the husks..

im not talking about flax seed oil, rather whole or ground flax seeds. i personally take the psyllium husk powder, but my mother swears by flax seeds so i was wondering if the flush would have the same effect.

one day so far and it's mostly water. I say mostly because it tends to start off like and then it's quickly out with the air and water. I've only done 1 teaspoon so far. I'm worried that one day on the commute to work I'll get hit with DEF CON 5 and be stuck on the train. but so far...*shrug*

It doesn't work quite like that...it's not really a laxative. you'll have time before you noticed it's coming, and the time it's coming out whether or not you want it to.

so it has been a little over a year since i last did this flush. i have enough supply to do about a 15 day run of it, and right now i'm too cheap to go buy everything for the full 30 days. the only thing i am really limited on is the charcoal, so last night and this morning i did 1 pill instead of 2...

holy shit...big mistake. the headache i had this morning was just awful and it didn't start until about 30 mins after taking all the supps for the flush. i ran to the natural foods store and bought the charcoal for $8 just to avoid the borderline migraine i have now. it was amazing though....i took another charcoal cap once i got in the car and now about a half hour later the headache is almost gone.

a 5th of jack daniels will give you the same headache....lol..
charcoal is always good to have on hand period...upset stomach, food poison, the list goes on and on...its one reason so hospitals have it readily available on their crash carts.

Works well for hangovers too lol.

I'm about a week into my second flush and holy nuts yesterday was not pretty. Wicked diarrhea all day. Finally got a solid one this morning though. It's only been about 4 months since I last did the flush and I think I pushed my herbal tabs a little higher then I needed to. Also was a little low on fiber the past day or two but I got it back up there. Hopefully today goes better lol.

I am currently on my 2nd week and my poops are brown/green/orange/and even a little blue (WTF did I eat?!)

They come in different shapes...some big, some small, all float. But whenever I go, it feels like EVERYTHING comes out and comes out clean, too. I wipe 3 times MAX.

All in all great procedure and I thank Heckman and dellsguy67 for lending shit talk.

I am curious as to whether or not my poops are normal? I ask because I was perusing this site's galleries...http://www.drnatura.com/picture_gall...750ea98cbd7652

Now that looks absolutely TERRIBLE but I'd rather have it in my toilet than in my body. Am I supposed to see these monstrosities anytime soon?

i'd avoid that site if i were you

i think...and this is my opinion...drnatura sells their product via scare tactics. they list 8000 symptoms a nasty colon WILL cause. AND i think the nature of their product makes a cast or form/molding of your insides and then you shit an 8 foot snake. personally, if that much stuff was REALLY in me, i'd expect to be dead. i'm sure it works when taken as prescribed, but it is also about 4x the cost of heckman's deal.

just my .02

I agree with you....I've been doing this a long time and have never had anything that even closely resembles what came out of those people...what I do is very mild and cost effective and can be done a few times a year....if desired. fact is is something like that came out of my ass, I'd be heading to the emergency room thinking I just shit out my intestines...lol

So I've been on the flush for about 3 weeks and was wondering where I should be now as far as amount of each product. Currently I am doing...

1. Heaping tspn of the husks.
2. 2 Senna pills (probably gonna cut it down to 1 because it's been coming out too soft...suggestions?)
3. 2 charcoal pills.
4. 2 herbals.

Watcha guys think?

Quick question for either Heckman or Dellsguy67,

re:


Nature's Secret Multi-Herb
www . vitaminshoppe . com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=SD-1013

Modern Products Swiss Krill Herbal Laxative
www . vitaminshoppe . com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=MD-1003

(sorry can't post links properly my post count too low... I just lurk and read a lot)

I tried to order these items from vitaminshoppe.com and both times I was told they could not ship them to Canada for whatever legal reasons. I ended up ordering just the charcoal and psyllium, in hopes that I'd find a version of the herbal tablets locally.

So far, I only found this:

www . noahsnaturalfoods . ca/shop/product_view.asp?id=4046&StoreID=25253C03182E4524A CDDB4F565E2742F&private_product=0

"Nature's Way Senna Leaves
Sennoside (measured as Sennoside B.)…10mg
Adults and children 12 years of age and over: Take 2 to 4 capsules once or twice daily or as directed by a doctor. Children under 12 years of age: Consult a doctor. Do not exceed recommended dosage."

Will these work with for the Heckman Flush? Or is there something better out there that canucks can get their hands on? If it's not specifically Senna that I'm looking for, what are the main ingredients in Nature's Secret Multi-Herb that make it work?

TIA for any help.

I know you said you have the fiber and charcoal right?
This one here from Natures Secret is what I would get. It has the herbal tabs with it. You can add the senna to it but it, and make it complete.

Would taking a fat burning supplement be a good idea while doing this flush?

Thank you Heckman.

I went to the Nature's Secret website and found a detailed product description of Ultimate Cleanse: it's 120 tabs of Multi-Herb and 120 tabs of Multi-Fiber.

So if I understand correctly, you're saying to use the psyllium husk fiber and charcoal I got from vitaminshoppe, and use JUST the multi-herb from the Ultimate Cleanse package you referred to above. And I just don't use the multi-fiber tablets at all. Is that right? Thanks for your help.

Hopefully this info will help out other Canadians looking for the items. It will be a bit expensive (Ultimate Cleanse is $43 and only comes with 120 multi-herb tablets and you need around 180 multi-herb tablets for a 30 day flush cycle, so basically you have to buy two boxes), but I guess you can't put a price on good health.

Yes, use the psyllium and charcoal from the vit shoppe and only the multi herb from natures secret...you can use the multi fiber for a "maintenance" product to take after the initial cleanse is over. I take the fiber every night, regardless...
The 120 tabs should be plenty for your first time doing this. Start with 1 tab morning and 1 tab night with the husk and see how that goes. after a week or so you can up it to 2 tabs morning and 2 tabs night..no sense in buying to much for the first time..

I would clean myself out first..makes for better absorbtion for everything you take..If you must take a fat burner while doing this, just give yourself about an hour to 2 hour window so the charcoal doesn't absorb your fat burner..
