Guest guest Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 there are some who say lay on the right, some whop say lay lay on the left, and some who say lay on your back with knees up... No matter if you are going to stand on your head, limiting movement after taking the olive oil and lemon juice is most important. We have the slurry made, assume the position, drink the lovely stuff and then don't move. drinking it in the kitchen then going to bed is a sure fire recipe for nausea. -D Re: A new member's introduction and question gallstones@gro ups.com Date: Tuesday, June 30, 2009, 8:48 AM > > This is a real exciting thing to see a young man do this. > Now the reason for throwing up may be you are not laying on the right > side.

IF you lay on the left side then it is going to come back up and you dont want that. The stomach empties to the right, not left. This is the reason. This goes for whether or not it is for the GB or kidney stones.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Kudos Fred. It is a reaction to the large amount of oil that causes the liver to express a large amount of bile and the gallbladder to contract to expel concentrated bile. You cannot take a 2 dimensional picture of the organ system, tip it on it's side, and assume that is how it works. The oils consumed must be assimilated through the wall of the small intestine, enter the blood stream, be transported to the liver, in order for them to enter the liver. The liver then produces and expels bile. Some and not only not all but a small amount of bile then travels up the gallbladder duct from the common bile duct into the gallbladder where it is then concentrated for the purpose of emulsifying fats. -D Re: A new member's introduction and question > > > > gallstones@gro ups.com > > > > Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 6:22 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > My instructions were: suck the muck, get down on your back > > asap with the head up and don't move for at least thirty minutes, then > > try to sleep on the left side with the right arm pulled up to the chest. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > The reason I probably did so well the first time was that I really > > didn't pass anything to speak of.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Would love to hear a description of the process whereby bringing the knees to the chest or lying on the right side " forces the olive oil mixture out of the stomach and into the liver area " . The only connection between the liver and the alimentary canal is through the common bile duct. The gallbladder is an " empty " sack, and draws ( like a pipette) some of the bile (again, not only not all, but only a portion of) up into itself where it is then concentrated for the purpose of the emulsification of fats. This is one of and a very important aspect of bile. Of course the other aspect is the elimination of metabolic and potentially " toxic " environmental wastes that have been filtered out by the liver. The gallbladder is not involved in this aspect and to the contrary would rather not be subjected to any of it. It's sole (soul) purpose is to concentrate and reserve a quantity of bile for when as Fred said, fats are consumed and then it constricts to supply a quantity of bile for the digestive process. The liver is not an " empty " organ. It's purpose is not to draw oils up through the common bile duct. Fats are essential for liver function but they must go through the digestive and assimilative processes first. They are then delivered to the liver through the bloodstream not the common bile duct. It is a one way deal. Down and out. This system is not a drawing. It is a twisty twirly bag of guts... This is like the description of releasing a gallbladder full of " stones " and then having a bunch more drop down from the liver into the gallbladder. Not. Look at the physiology. This would require the " stones " being drawn up through the gallbladder bile duct from the common duct. Not going to happen. There are definitely liver stones and they can be expelled by the liver but would travel directly through the common bile duct into the small intestine. They are not going to take an extremely (damn near impossible) difficult field trip up the gallbladder duct for the fun of it. If there is someone purporting the below I would love to have it explained.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thanks , Just one more example of us needing to be very careful about what we read on the internet. Think that Elan said it all yesterday. We need to be exposed to all " points of view " but need also to filter through the quagmire. One other caution about this particular site is they are assuming that the only use of the magnesium is to relax the ducts. The main reason for the magnesium is to evacuate the bowel. Please pardon both my sense of humor and my appropriate choice of words, but if I am going to take a load of putrid shit to the dump, I want to make sure the highway is completely clear... If I get stuck in congested traffic with it, it may make me miserable...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 the epsom salt in the liver cleanse is not for cleaning the bowels, but for opening up the bile ducts to release the stones colon cleansing should always be done before and after the liver cleanse Judy Kemecsei Cleansing Coach & Massage Therapist 818-789-1698 On Jul 11, 2009, at 3:58 AM, Dave Shelden wrote: > > > sorry if this is a second time. has not shown up in my inbox so do > not know if it went through. in case it did not... -D > Re: A new member's introduction and question > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Sorry Judy. The Epsom salts is for evacuating the bowel before the big purge. Yes, it does help to relax the ducts and this is an important aspect as well (see below) but this is not a one purpose application. Having the alimentary cannel as evacuated as possible is of extreme importance. If not transit time is increased and reabsorbtion thereby; which I am sure you are aware of. Ever done a colonic on someone who went to the all you can eat pizza feed the night before and had not had a bowel movement yet? Can clog a $10,000 dollar machine pretty easily and cause you to spend several hours at a not so fun task. I know that you purport colon cleansing before and after, but the only " colon cleansing " aspects of the commonly disseminated flushes is achieved through the application of Epsom salts (starting 24 before hand in multiple doses). So I find it curious that you deny this particular use of the Epsom salts... I am sure you are aware of the importance in bowel management of the use of magnesium for softening the stool in the cases of cold dry constipation. If we apply an anthroquinone containing herb to this type of constitution we induce very uncomfortable griping because we are forcing peristalsis against a load of cement. Hence products available even in a Safeway store like magnesium citrate or Milk of Magnesia... -D Re: A new member's introduction and question > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Wow is this erroneous information - whoever you are you need to be much more responsible disseminating health information, at least be correct, this is a listserve for health. From: mkathryn59 <mkathryn59@...> Subject: Re: A new member's introduction and question gallstones Date: Wednesday, July 8, 2009, 12:00 AM When you do a GB flush, you need to pull the knees up to the chest to force the oil mix out of the stomach into the liver area. I found this web site with info on how this all works. I will paste some of it here and you can read the rest on the site. Your Digestive System and How It Works The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract—a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus—and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food (see figure). Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine—also called the colon—rectum, and anus. Inside these hollow organs is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. The digestive tract also contains a layer of smooth muscle that helps break down food and move it along the tract. Two " solid " digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver's digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine. Parts of the nervous and circulatory systems also play major roles in the digestive system. [Top <http://digestive. niddk.nih. gov/ddiseases/ pubs/yrdd/ #top> ] Why is digestion important? When you eat foods—such as bread, meat, and vegetables—they are not in a form that the body can use as nourishment. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before they can be absorbed into the blood and carried to cells throughout the body. Digestion is the process by which food and drink are broken down into their smallest parts so the body can use them to build and nourish cells and to provide energy. [Top <http://digestive. niddk.nih. gov/ddiseases/ pubs/yrdd/ #top> ] How is food digested? Digestion involves mixing food with digestive juices, moving it through the digestive tract, and breaking down large molecules of food into smaller molecules. Digestion begins in the mouth, when you chew and swallow, and is completed in the small intestine. Movement of Food Through the System The large, hollow organs of the digestive tract contain a layer of muscle that enables their walls to move. The movement of organ walls can propel food and liquid through the system and also can mix the contents within each organ. Food moves from one organ to the next through muscle action called peristalsis. Peristalsis looks like an ocean wave traveling through the muscle. The muscle of the organ contracts to create a narrowing and then propels the narrowed portion slowly down the length of the organ. These waves of narrowing push the food and fluid in front of them through each hollow organ. The first major muscle movement occurs when food or liquid is swallowed. Although you are able to start swallowing by choice, once the swallow begins, it becomes involuntary and proceeds under the control of the nerves. Swallowed food is pushed into the esophagus, which connects the throat above with the stomach below. At the junction of the esophagus and stomach, there is a ringlike muscle, called the lower esophageal sphincter, closing the passage between the two organs. As food approaches the closed sphincter, the sphincter relaxes and allows the food to pass through to the stomach. The stomach has three mechanical tasks. First, it stores the swallowed food and liquid. To do this, the muscle of the upper part of the stomach relaxes to accept large volumes of swallowed material. The second job is to mix up the food, liquid, and digestive juice produced by the stomach. The lower part of the stomach mixes these materials by its muscle action. The third task of the stomach is to empty its contents slowly into the small intestine. Several factors affect emptying of the stomach, including the kind of food and the degree of muscle action of the emptying stomach and the small intestine. Carbohydrates, for example, spend the least amount of time in the stomach, while protein stays in the stomach longer, and fats the longest. As the food dissolves into the juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, the contents of the intestine are mixed and pushed forward to allow further digestion. Finally, the digested nutrients are absorbed through the intestinal walls and transported throughout the body. The waste products of this process include undigested parts of the food, known as fiber, and older cells that have been shed from the mucosa. These materials are pushed into the colon, where they remain until the feces are expelled by a bowel movement. Production of Digestive Juices The digestive glands that act first are in the mouth—the salivary glands. Saliva produced by these glands contains an enzyme that begins to digest the starch from food into smaller molecules. An enzyme is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions in the body. The next set of digestive glands is in the stomach lining. They produce stomach acid and an enzyme that digests protein. A thick mucus layer coats the mucosa and helps keep the acidic digestive juice from dissolving the tissue of the stomach itself. In most people, the stomach mucosa is able to resist the juice, although food and other tissues of the body cannot. After the stomach empties the food and juice mixture into the small intestine, the juices of two other digestive organs mix with the food. One of these organs, the pancreas, produces a juice that contains a wide array of enzymes to break down the carbohydrate, fat, and protein in food. Other enzymes that are active in the process come from glands in the wall of the intestine. The second organ, the liver, produces yet another digestive juice—bile. Bile is stored between meals in the gallbladder. At mealtime, it is squeezed out of the gallbladder, through the bile ducts, and into the intestine to mix with the fat in food. The bile acids dissolve fat into the watery contents of the intestine, much like detergents that dissolve grease from a frying pan. After fat is dissolved, it is digested by enzymes from the pancreas and the lining of the intestine. Absorption and Transport of Nutrients Most digested molecules of food, as well as water and minerals, are absorbed through the small intestine. The mucosa of the small intestine contains many folds that are covered with tiny fingerlike projections called villi. In turn, the villi are covered with microscopic projections called microvilli. These structures create a vast surface area through which nutrients can be absorbed. Specialized cells allow absorbed materials to cross the mucosa into the blood, where they are carried off in the bloodstream to other parts of the body for storage or further chemical change. This part of the process varies with different types of nutrients. http://digestive. niddk.nih. gov/ddiseases/ pubs/yrdd/ > > > > > > > > > > > > From: dcdietrich90 dcdietrich90@ > > > > > > Subject: Re: A new member's introduction and question > > > > > > gallstones@gro ups.com > > > > > > Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 6:22 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > My instructions were: suck the muck, get down on your back > > > > asap with the head up and don't move for at least thirty minutes, then > > > > try to sleep on the left side with the right arm pulled up to the chest. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > The reason I probably did so well the first time was that I really > > > > didn't pass anything to speak of.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 , I am disappointed in your response to me below which refers to another listserv members posting and recommnedation based on obviously erroneous scientific information. You of all people do the same when members post erroneous information and you do the same asking people to be repsonsible. From: mkathryn59 <mkathryn59 (DOT) com<mailto:mkathryn59 (DOT) com>> Subject: Re: A new member's introduction and question gallstones@gro ups.com<mailto:gallstones% 40groups. com> Date: Wednesday, July 8, 2009, 12:00 AM When you do a GB flush, you need to pull the knees up to the chest to force the oil mix out of the stomach into the liver area. I found this web site with info on how this all works. I will paste some of it here and you can read the rest on the site. Your Digestive System and How It Works The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract—a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus—and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food (see figure). Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine—also called the colon—rectum, and anus. Inside these hollow organs is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. The digestive tract also contains a layer of smooth muscle that helps break down food and move it along the tract. Two " solid " digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver's digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine. Parts of the nervous and circulatory systems also play major roles in the digestive system. [Top <http://digestive.<http://digestive. /> niddk.nih. gov/ddiseases/ pubs/yrdd/ #top> ] Why is digestion important? When you eat foods—such as bread, meat, and vegetables—they are not in a form that the body can use as nourishment. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before they can be absorbed into the blood and carried to cells throughout the body. Digestion is the process by which food and drink are broken down into their smallest parts so the body can use them to build and nourish cells and to provide energy. [Top <http://digestive.<http://digestive. /> niddk.nih. gov/ddiseases/ pubs/yrdd/ #top> ] How is food digested? Digestion involves mixing food with digestive juices, moving it through the digestive tract, and breaking down large molecules of food into smaller molecules. Digestion begins in the mouth, when you chew and swallow, and is completed in the small intestine. Movement of Food Through the System The large, hollow organs of the digestive tract contain a layer of muscle that enables their walls to move. The movement of organ walls can propel food and liquid through the system and also can mix the contents within each organ. Food moves from one organ to the next through muscle action called peristalsis. Peristalsis looks like an ocean wave traveling through the muscle. The muscle of the organ contracts to create a narrowing and then propels the narrowed portion slowly down the length of the organ. These waves of narrowing push the food and fluid in front of them through each hollow organ. The first major muscle movement occurs when food or liquid is swallowed. Although you are able to start swallowing by choice, once the swallow begins, it becomes involuntary and proceeds under the control of the nerves. Swallowed food is pushed into the esophagus, which connects the throat above with the stomach below. At the junction of the esophagus and stomach, there is a ringlike muscle, called the lower esophageal sphincter, closing the passage between the two organs. As food approaches the closed sphincter, the sphincter relaxes and allows the food to pass through to the stomach. The stomach has three mechanical tasks. First, it stores the swallowed food and liquid. To do this, the muscle of the upper part of the stomach relaxes to accept large volumes of swallowed material. The second job is to mix up the food, liquid, and digestive juice produced by the stomach. The lower part of the stomach mixes these materials by its muscle action. The third task of the stomach is to empty its contents slowly into the small intestine. Several factors affect emptying of the stomach, including the kind of food and the degree of muscle action of the emptying stomach and the small intestine. Carbohydrates, for example, spend the least amount of time in the stomach, while protein stays in the stomach longer, and fats the longest. As the food dissolves into the juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, the contents of the intestine are mixed and pushed forward to allow further digestion. Finally, the digested nutrients are absorbed through the intestinal walls and transported throughout the body. The waste products of this process include undigested parts of the food, known as fiber, and older cells that have been shed from the mucosa. These materials are pushed into the colon, where they remain until the feces are expelled by a bowel movement. Production of Digestive Juices The digestive glands that act first are in the mouth—the salivary glands. Saliva produced by these glands contains an enzyme that begins to digest the starch from food into smaller molecules. An enzyme is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions in the body. The next set of digestive glands is in the stomach lining. They produce stomach acid and an enzyme that digests protein. A thick mucus layer coats the mucosa and helps keep the acidic digestive juice from dissolving the tissue of the stomach itself. In most people, the stomach mucosa is able to resist the juice, although food and other tissues of the body cannot. After the stomach empties the food and juice mixture into the small intestine, the juices of two other digestive organs mix with the food. One of these organs, the pancreas, produces a juice that contains a wide array of enzymes to break down the carbohydrate, fat, and protein in food. Other enzymes that are active in the process come from glands in the wall of the intestine. The second organ, the liver, produces yet another digestive juice—bile. Bile is stored between meals in the gallbladder. At mealtime, it is squeezed out of the gallbladder, through the bile ducts, and into the intestine to mix with the fat in food. The bile acids dissolve fat into the watery contents of the intestine, much like detergents that dissolve grease from a frying pan. After fat is dissolved, it is digested by enzymes from the pancreas and the lining of the intestine. Absorption and Transport of Nutrients Most digested molecules of food, as well as water and minerals, are absorbed through the small intestine. The mucosa of the small intestine contains many folds that are covered with tiny fingerlike projections called villi. In turn, the villi are covered with microscopic projections called microvilli. These structures create a vast surface area through which nutrients can be absorbed. Specialized cells allow absorbed materials to cross the mucosa into the blood, where they are carried off in the bloodstream to other parts of the body for storage or further chemical change. This part of the process varies with different types of nutrients. http://digestive.<http://digestive. /> niddk.nih. gov/ddiseases/ pubs/yrdd/ > > > > > > > > > > > > From: dcdietrich90 dcdietrich90@ > > > > > > Subject: Re: A new member's introduction and question > > > > > > gallstones@gro ups.com > > > > > > Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 6:22 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > My instructions were: suck the muck, get down on your back > > > > asap with the head up and don't move for at least thirty minutes, then > > > > try to sleep on the left side with the right arm pulled up to the chest. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > The reason I probably did so well the first time was that I really > > > > didn't pass anything to speak of.
