I already have supplies for a good colon cleanse. I was waiting for the right timing.

From what I read in Donna Gates' book, she says you should cleanse your colon first, then your liver. Does anyone have any confirmation on that? Is the order important?

Thanks!

Yes, and I believe that order is correct. You want the colon capable of working at it's best for the toxins from the liver to not be reabsorbed when they get flushed - although because you have been dealing liver issues already, I would not encourage you to stop using the milk thistle and dandelion root at this point. You need to get those toxin levels in your liver down so that it's not damaging to your liver.

I"m not sure what all you plan on using, but do be sure to double check that the milk thistle and dandelion root won't interact with anything else you plan to use.

I concur with Traveler, colon cleanse first then liver clense after

Thanks. I planned on continuing with the milk thistle & dandelion, since that is part of my regular routine to support my liver.

Since you are cautioning me to check for any interactions with the cleanse I'm planning on doing, where do I find out what possible reactions could occur between herbs? One of the the doctor's thoughts was that since no single herb or supplement I was taking would cause yellowing of the skin, that maybe the combination of all I'm doing caused it.

And is there a single, handy resource that tells you how long you can safely take an herb or supplement before you should take a break from it?
