Son unhappy with Metronidazole (Flagyl) for his Amoebiasis plus egg yolk liver flush
Our 8 year old boy who got a prescription of Flagyl for his amoebiasis is unhappy with his antibiotics. He has been telling this to me and my wife. He says he just poops it out. And he says his appetite is suppressed because of this. He hardly eats anything these past few days.
Maybe his intestines are healing? Maybe it’s just the side effect of Flagyl? The original prescription is for 10 days. But the packaging says 7 days only. Since our son is complaining, we have decided to just cut it down to 7 days. Today is the last day.
The only things we have been able to get him to eat freely is coconut juice and coconut meat, he once ate a good amount of cooked okra. He ate a small amount of rice and ghee one time. He eats a small amount of durian. And one time with me in the office he ate some raw beef. We get him to eat some 2 raw duck egg yolks a day… somewhat forced.
This morning through prodding I got him to do an egg yolk liver flush using 2 raw duck egg yolks, some freshly squeezed calamansi juice and some virgin coconut oil. Had him lie down for 30 minutes on his right side. Afterwards we went to the wet market to have some “buko palamig” – ice cold coconut juice with some sugar, we also bought our 20 coconuts and a watermelon.
Back home our boy had his poop activated and he said he pooped out some nasty stuff. Said it seemed like olive oil left overs? Hmmm… I didn’t give him olive oil in this liver flush… is he talking about that old olive oil enema last week? Whatever… he flushed it down, I never saw it. He said it didn’t look like my old green liver stones.
We are liver flushing him because an ultra sound exam last week showed he had liver stones and sludge in his gall bladder.
This is just day 1 of 4 egg yolk liver flush mornings. We have fresh Palawan duck eggs.
He was being very difficult this morning. Complained I scrambled his egg yolk, I said it just burst, I didn’t scramble it. Found out we ran out of calamansi, didn’t want to come with me in the car, I had my wife wait for me to see that he does not ingest anything else. My wife advertised that the olive oil came from their church… he said he didn’t like olive oil… I said I have virgin coconut oil… so don’t make any more excuses.
Good thing about knowing the principles about liver flushing is that there are many alternatives for picky people.
