Is the Liver Cleanse Bullsh*t?

[Guest guest]

Lots of people claim that these cleanses produce stones from the liver, and that

the health benefits that result from purging such stones are myriad.

Lots of other people claim that these so called " stones " were never in the liver

or gall bladder, but were produced in the intestine by the combination of oil,

citrus, bile, cholesterol, and mag. sulfate.

I have seen compelling arguments on both sides of the equation, and I simply

cannot make up my mind whether or not this is a valid form or therapy, or if it

is 100% placebo based on the belief that something powerful is happening and

that symptom relief is derived from the genuine belief that some toxic material

has been eliminated from the body.

This kind of placebo effect can be a very powerful agent of healing, and has

been used by Shaman for thousands of years.

Help me to understand why this cleanse is actually eliminating stones from the

organs, and is not just producing stones and activating a placebo response.

And by the way, I am in no way interested in invalidating the placebo effect. I

have studied this phenomenon extensively, and I understand the potency and value

of a good placebo.

Thanks.
