Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 > I came > to this list to learn more, and have since done 9 flushes. > Vince Hi Vince, I'm interested to know more about your experiences doing these flushes. Would you be willing to share a bit about them with us here? Specifically I'm wondering if you continue to do them once every once in a while on a kind of maintenance schedule, or if maybe you only did them until no more stones came out and then stopped? And anything else you'd like to share that you feel might be relevant would be appreciated. Actually, I'd like to hear from anyone on the list who might like to share about their liver flush experiences, or who has any insight or anything else they feel to contribute to a discussion on these cleanses. After reading a lot of descriptions from many people on curezone.org and elsewhere on the web about their experiences doing these flushes, I'm wondering about how and why the stones and sludge are actually formed to begin with, and whether or not it's actually possible to completely (or almost completely) clear the liver and gall bladder of stones and chaff by doing a series of flushes. I ask this because I found a pictorial essay written by someone who did something like 20 or more flushes over the course of a couple of years, and the stones just kept coming and coming. It made me wonder if this person's body continued to manufacture stones due to their dietary choices, and whether or not changing their diet somehow might have made it so they would have eventually flushed to the point of no longer having any stones or chaff come out. If this is so, then can anyone here explain just how one would go about adjusting one's diet so as to avoid the possibility that the body would continue to make quantities of stones and gravel that plug the liver and gall bladder to the point where the functioning of these organs begins to become impaired? A few weeks ago I did my first liver flush, and found copious amounts of green stones and mustardy yellow colored gritty sludge passing out of my body. It was utterly amazing! I really can't recommend going through this process enough. And for all of you folks reading this who have liver or gall bladder issues, regardless of whether or not your tests indicate the presence of stones, I would strongly encourage you to seriously consider doing at least one, if not a series of these flushes. You might be extremely surprised as to what actually ends up coming out of you! Fortunately, like you Vince, there's nothing wrong with my liver or gall bladder that I know of, but I'm very interested in doing what I can now to prevent chronic illness from happening to me as time goes by. Honestly, I think just about everyone can benefit from doing these cleanses, and I want to do another one soon. But if possible, I'd really like to better understand how and why these stones and sludge have accumulated in my liver and gall bladder to begin with, so that I can work towards eliminating their root cause, and so they won't continue to be replaced every time I flush the existing ones out. Thanks for any insight or information anyone here can provide with regards to my questions. elan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I have done 3 flushes and started seeing yellow stones (a few green ones) immediately, but they kept coming for a YEAR. Then it slowed down to a few times a week, then down to nothing. However, two sonograms show that I still have stones! I did the flushes with olive oil and lemon juice for many days, but the final day when I had to drink so much of it, I used grapefruit juice instead of lemon. That let it go down a little easier. I have changed my diet. Rarely ever eat red meat and, if I do, it's a couple of tiny bites. Can't handle hard boiled eggs anymore either. However, in baked custard, they don't bother me. Amber Actually, I'd like to hear from anyone on the list who might like to share about their liver flush experiences... I ask this because I found a pictorial essay written by someone who did something like 20 or more flushes over the course of a couple of years, and the stones just kept coming and coming. elan .

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I enjoyed your post, elan. Let's " insure " against health problems to prevent them if we can. I'd rather put effort into that than get behind and try to play catch up with my health. My first flush was effective and got about 50 marble green colored stones. I couldn't flush every two weeks because of my schedule, but flushed every month or so as I could. Some flushes were months apart, but I kept going and got more and more stones per flush (about 400 bb sized stones at the most in one flush) until after a few flushes I started getting less and less stones. When I ended up at less than 25 very small stones I didn't try to flush anymore. I'll flush about once a year now for maintenance. I have also changed my diet to include good oils and almost eliminate the bad oils. I don't eat white flour, white sugar, microwave food, or any processed food except on occasion. I do eat meat, coconut oil, olive oil, real butter, kefir made from raw goat's milk, fresh fruit, my own home grown organic vegetables, and Kombucha tea. I use Celtic sea salt daily and take supplemental minerals and vitamins each day. As far as changing diet to help the liver and gall bladder, I'd highly recommend Dr. Cabot's books: " The Liver Cleansing Diet " & " The Healthy Liver & Bowel Book " . http://www.liverdoctor.com/ I really don't know why stones are formed and why some people form so many, but I wouldn't be surprised if I found out that the body makes them to encapsulate toxins and substances that it wants to get rid of. If we clean up our bodies and nourish them enough, stones won't need to form. That's my theory right now, but I can't prove it.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 You touched on a good point VR. It's a known fact that Neurotoxins generated by pathogens within the body accumulate in the liver and if the liver is healthy will then excrete it in the bile. The problem is that it may be reabsorbed by the intestines. Maybe stones are formed also to encapsulate Neurotoxins and Heavy metals as well? Check out Dr Klinghardt's Neurotoxin elimination protocol. It also discusses heavy metals which can hamper the natural elimination of Neurotoxins. http://www.neuraltherapy.com/NeurotoxinProtocol040406.pdf Symptoms can include 1. Memory loss 2. depression 3. fatigue 4. numbing of any or all the senses Heavy metals are a HUGE factor in determining the degree of someone's health. Even people who do not have Amalgam (mercury) fillings and have never smoked are testing high for mercury in the blood. So maybe if you have an undiagosed infection you will generate more Neurotoxins and not be able to process them as efficiently as you should. And maybe if you are heavy metal toxic you generate more gb stones as well. I am just starting to detox heavy metals so I cant suggest the best way to remove them. I know the most effecient method is IV chelation which helps with many health problems but this is costly and can be risky for seriously chronically ill people. Right now I am just trying oral chelators and taking Chlorella waiting 30 minutes and then taking liquid Cilantro. If any of you want more details just ask.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 We were visiting with my husband's doctor yesterday and he mentioned my gallstones and the fact that I had done several flushes and passed stones for a YEAR, but my sonograms still show stones. The Dr. said that people continue to form new stones, but didn't give a reason. Since it was my husband's appointment (I go with him), I didn't get into further discussion but I shall when I have another appointment with that doctor. Amber I really don't know why stones are formed and why some people form so many, but I wouldn't be surprised if I found out that the body makes them to encapsulate toxins and substances that it wants to get rid of.

Considering the fact that stones form in the kidneys too, and that both the liver and kidneys filter all the blood that flows through the body, it makes sense that toxic particulate matter might very well become trapped by these organs. Then, much like an oyster encapsulates a tiny particle to make a pearl in order to protect itself from the offending invader, perhaps the kidneys and liver form similar protective barriers around bits of poisonous or unwanted matter too, creating stones, which then over time, can end up accumulating in both of these organs, as well as in the gall bladder.

May I ask, what oral chelators are you taking? Also, have you considered adding some activated charcoal slurries to your detoxification protocol? http://healingtools.tripod.com/thn5.html http://healingtools.tripod.com/ACP_pages.html Or perhaps also including some clay baths and/or consuming clay internally? http://www.eytonsearth.org/mercury-toxicity-bentonite-clay.php http://www.eytonsearth.org/clay-baths.php elan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 What a great discussion you two. I really like your pearl analogy Elan (Given name, or did you take the Latin " lifeforce " later?). I had never entertained this potential aspect until the two of you woke me from my slumber. Great possibility especially in light of the extremely plausible theory that the application of cholesterol (the main component in stones) to the interior of the arterial walls may be a protective measure due to oxidative damage of the walls. In terms of true stone formation there may be several other factors involved. First there is the proper balance of the components of bile and the need to maintain such in order to keep the cholesterol in suspension. Lack of proper bile acids, lecithin, or water within the bile can all cause the cholesterol and minerals to come out of suspension. We know that there are certain risk factors: Rapid weight loss, which is the " loss " of large amounts of body fat in a short amount of time. Where does it go? And how does it leave the body? The 4 Fs which lends towards endocrine dysfunction manifesting in hypothyroid. " Low fat " and " vegetarian " diets, which both can point towards a lack of the proper amount of dietary oils, the main constituent of bile. The lower the flow in a river, the faster the alluvial settles out. Possibility of stagnation. Diets high in animal fats (cooked) and refined carbohydrates; both creating higher triglyceride levels leading to " syndrome x " and diabetes. Hispanic and native American decent both of which genetically have a " predisposition " (most likely due to the rapid change in dietary habits to the SAD diet). I should mention that for me the jury is still out on the actual nature of the " little green blobs " . I have no doubt that the yellow sludge that you passed Elan was gall crepitus in nature. Also the brownish rocks that my good buddy Dale passed (Thanks for the pictures Dale. Now when I am really bored or in need of an uplift in spirit I can always go back to those. Best done with a glass of wine and a sense of humor.). It is a moot point anyhow, as I have said before: The concern is does your life get better and the resounding chorus is YES!

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi elan, I have been very toxic all my adult life and am now on the road to full recovery. Every flush I did helped me to feel much more energy, but it was temporary. The more flushes I did, the longer the energy uplift lasted. At the same time I was flushing over the course of a few years, I got 12 amalgam fillings properly removed and replaced with composites, 2 root canals removed, and 3 non-biocompatible crowns removed. The flushes were just one of many things I've done in the last 10-15 years to get my health tuned up to where it should be. Before getting my mercury sources removed from my mouth, I would feel very bad very quickly if I did anything that started removing the mercury that was stored in my body. One chlorella tablet would be too much and I'd need to wait several days before taking another. Now, I can take 2 a day and eat cilantro too. I also take a fiber mix I make up myself with bentonite clay, apple pectin, activated charcoal, oat bran, psillium husks, and two capsules a day of Dr. Shultz's intestinal formula 1. I've been doing this for months now, and the benefits keep accumulating with my energy and concentration levels increasing. The key is, I've gotten all my detox pathways opened up, got rid of the poison sources in my body, and now I'm cleaning up (detoxing) at a reasonable, sustainable rate. It will take years, but before I get to the age that I really start needing to be detoxed, I want to be cleaned up inside. I'm 50 now. Diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's is as best as I can tell caused by people being too toxic at an age that their body can no longer cope with the toxins. I'd rather avoid things like that if I can If I can', at least I tried... I forgot to mention the need for lecithin supplementation for anyone with stones or liver/gallbladder problems. Along with the good oils I did mention lecithin greatly helps with bile flow and that helps everything else including toxin removal. Lecithin thins the bile, oils make the bile flow out of the gallbladder into the intestine carrying toxins with them. This necessitates having good fiber to absorb the toxins in the intestine to move into the bowel and then out of our body expeditiously each day. The toxins have to go somewhere when they flow out of the liver with the bile, we don't want them staying in our gallbladder or recirculating back into our blood. We need to have fiber always in our system to " catch " and hold toxins to remove them from the body. I like the pearl analogy too. Dr. Hulda , who has supervised hundreds of flushes, noticed remains of what seemed to be parasites in the middle of many stones. It's obvious from the smell of what comes out in a flush, including the smell of the stones, that what's in them is very toxic. Our bodies are amazing. They are able to take care of a lot given the right stuff and when protected from the bad stuff. It's a pity that the profit motive has corrupted our society in the realm of what we eat to the point that we have to take matters into our own hands and flush like this to correct the damage done with improper food and nutrition.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi Elan, Yes both of those are things I use. Guess what though taking Chitosan with Charcoal is Amazing for detoxing. These are best to be taken about 30 minutes before a coffee enema to mop up the toxins released into the intestinal tract. The clay is awesome too as long as its taken with psyllium and apple pectin. Are you on those things Elan? Brd > > > I am just starting to detox heavy metals so I cant suggest the best > > way to remove them.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi Dave, > > What a great discussion you two.

This seems to be the general consensus among those who have done a series of flushes, and it makes good sense to me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on what causes stones to form, Dave. I appreciate your insights and input in this thread. elan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations. >Every flush I did helped me to feel much more > energy, but it was temporary. The more flushes I did, the longer >the energy uplift lasted. Thanks for sharing, this, Vince. This to me feels like a key point. My sense is that it's not always apparent at first to people who are just beginning to investigate these flushes, that doing just one will most likely not provide any real lasting or meaningful effects in terms of long term health benefits. I get the feeling that many of us not only have gall bladders that are clogged up with a mixture of stones, gravel, sludge and gunk, but that in addition, further up the pipe and lodged within the liver itself, we harbor even more intrahepatic stones, which are plugging the liver and keeping it from functioning at its optimal level. From everything I've learned about these flushes, it sounds to me as if it takes successive flushes in order to incrementally clear out the biliary tubes, the gall bladder, and ultimately even the liver itself of this accumulated matter. In light of this process of purging (flushing) the bladder to make room for liver stones 'higher up' to descend, and then repeatedly purging the stones that descend with subsequent flushes, it makes total sense to me that with each successive flush, the beneficial cleansing effects will not only increase, but will also start to last longer and longer between flushes. >At the same time I was flushing over the course > of a few years, I got 12 amalgam fillings properly removed and > replaced with composites, 2 root canals removed, and 3 > non-biocompatible crowns removed.

Although I have a mouth full of amalgam fillings, I can take a combination of chlorella, spirulina, Greener Grasses powder and Pure Synergy (powdered green superfood) and at worst I seem to only get a mild headache. > I also take a fiber mix I make up myself with bentonite clay, apple > pectin, activated charcoal, oat bran, psillium husks, and two capsules > a day of Dr. Shultz's intestinal formula 1.

I'm always interested to hear about other peoples' cleansing protocols, so thanks very much for sharing this. Although I've also been taking a combination of bentonite clay along with some activated charcoal, I've yet to purchase Dr. Schulze's IF # 1, but am beginning to lean towards giving it a try. Instead of herbs, in order to increase digestive motility I've been using a product called Homozon, which is from what I understand, the original magnesium oxide formula. When taken with a chaser of lemon juice, the bond between the magnesium and the oxygen in the Homozon is broken, and tremendous amounts of oxygen are released, flooding the bowel with oxygen, which is supposed to be very beneficial for detoxification and purification. A side effect is that either a softening or liquefying of stools, depending on how much is taken. Have you ever done an intensive version of your combination of ingredients, like taking them 4 or 5 times a day while fasting, in an effort to effect a deep internal cleansing of the entire digestive tract? Evidently when some people do this, they sometimes pass rubbery lengths of mucoid plaque. I've yet to attempt this, but would like to try it at some point. > > The key is, I've gotten all my detox pathways opened up, got rid of > the poison sources in my body, and now I'm cleaning up (detoxing) at >a reasonable, sustainable rate. Again, this makes good sense to me. I've heard of many people who try to detox too much too soon and end up giving themselves Herxheimer reactions. I think too many of us forget how important it is for the body's pathways of elimination to be open and moving before attempting any detoxification protocol. >Lecithin thins the bile, > oils make the bile flow out of the gallbladder into the intestine > carrying toxins with them.

I wasn't aware it had this effect on the bile. > The toxins have to go somewhere > when they flow out of the liver with the bile, we don't want them > staying in our gallbladder or recirculating back into our blood. We > need to have fiber always in our system to " catch " and hold toxins to > remove them from the body. Yes, this is important, otherwise we can end up feeling sick from reabsorbing these toxins. I think that both the clay and the activated charcoal are really good at electrically drawing toxins to them and holding them. I also think things like psyllium and apple pectin help too. I've also heard that consuming hydrated chia seeds and/or flax seeds forms a kind of fibrous, mucilaginous mass inside the bowel that helps to grab onto and pull toxic material out of the body. > Our bodies are amazing.

Amen to that. Thanks very much for sharing your experience and insights, Vince. They're very helpful. elan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The removals will give me longer lasting benefit, but I still needed to clean my colon which I now have. It sounds like your detox pathways are working well right now and you can get the bad stuff out quickly enough that it won't cause problems. Just think ahead (a little advice here . As you get older your body naturally slows down and you need all the help you can get keeping up the pace of toxin removal... That's why I removed my fillings now.

I couldn't seem to get it controlled to where it would soften but not liquify my stools. That's when I tried the Shultz and found it to be totally controllable. > Have you ever done an intensive version of your combination of > ingredients, like taking them 4 or 5 times a day while fasting, in an > effort to effect a deep internal cleansing of the entire digestive > tract?

Maybe someday (maybe soon) I'll feel ready to tackle that.
