Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Hi -- I just finished with flush number 3 which, considering it was only 3 weeks (instead of 6 months) from my second flush, it was virtually painless and I didn't even have to take a day off work this time (I don't have to be there until 2PM so it gives me a good morning get through the worst). I'm not passing nearly as many stones this time. But I do have a question regarding epsom salts. I do pass hundreds of itty bitty tan colored " stones " that float in my toilet that resemble the epsom salts, however, these *float* (like gallstones are supposed to do) and the epsom salts do most definitely *sink* when dissolving them in the water *before* consumption (yuck, by the way, but definitely worth it). So are they gallstones or epsom salts? If they are epsom salts, why are they now floating instead of sinking? Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Hi Lori, I just finished my 6th flush yesterday. It's been about 8 months since my last flush and they just don't get any prettier. LOL The tan stones you're talking about, I believe are considered chaff. They come from the gallbladder/liver and are just as important to get out as the stones are. I'm thinking about using more olive oil when I do my next flush in 2 weeks. I didn't get much out this time - probably about 30 stones. I usually get 300-500 out. So, this was very disappointing. BTW, epsom salts sink and dissolve in water.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Thank you Tara. I was starting to think I scared everyone off with my questions. :-) I'm basically doing my flushes every three weeks now until I have no stones, then I'll go with twice a year after that. It has been an amazing experience so far. I'm now convinced that I've avoided surgery, even after all these years of having attacks.
