Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Hi, I know it can get discouraging, thinking about how far you have to go to restore health to your liver, but try to pace yourself. Sounds like your first cleanse was successful, and most likely, so will the subsequent cleanses you do. Think of it as a life-long thing you are going to do for your health, not just a temporary fix. You will start to see positive changes in your health as you continue to do the liver cleanse and make dietary changes. I would encourage you to do the parasite, kidney, and bowel cleanses as well.

The reason the flush sometimes gives relief in my opinion is that olive oil makes your gallbladder begin to work. Maybe some actually get stones out, like Dale, who has the ultrasound as proof.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Debra, How many flushes have you done? How do you know you only had 4 stones in your GB and none in your liver? You may have stones that do not show up on ultrasound and are stuck to the insides of your GB and have not come out yet. Also, usually if you have GB stones that are harder, this means that you most likely have them in your liver as well. From what I believe, stones start as softer cholesterol stones in your liver and then roll down into the GB where they will increase in size and even get calcified if your digestive system is not excreting the bile from your GB properly. Sluggish liver will cause your system to slow down and not expell the stones in the normal digestive process. Also, you may have not been totally successful in eliminating all your stones on your first flush(es). I have done two flushes now ( Dr. Hulga ) and the first flush eliminated around 40 stones and a lot of sludge from ducts and liver. The second flush eliminated around 80 stones two weeks later. I will continue for at least 5 times and then twice a year. I still have a 1cm harder stone in my GB because ultrasound shows it. I'm determined to get that thing out even if my liver continues to expell the softer stones anyway. My liver and GB needs to really be working strong, and the stone has to soften or breakup with good dieting and herbal intakes before it will come out. Could take a while but I'm determined. Dieting right and not feeling pain is my ultimate goal. I personally feel that the 1,000 stones etc is a normal bodily function. Our livers are always cleaning our blood of toxins and fats and normally eliminating stones and sludge through regular bowel movements. This is the way the body works. Flushing only helps clean the liver faster and more thoroughly. Some people think stones are not a normal body activity, whereas I believe all of our bodies are creating (cleaning) and eliminating this stuff all of our lives anyway. When our bodies become sluggish then the stones don't move out as fast and increase in size, get stuck in GB, ducts, etc and problems or pain tells our bodies that something is wrong and we had better adjust our diets and get the digestive system working strongly again. This is only my explanation in thousands of stones in our bodies. They come out everyday with bowel but fasting-epsom salt cleanses clear them faster and without other foods in the bowel, the stones will show up clearly and even float. Anyone else? Thank you.

You drink yellow oil in the evening, your body converts it into the stones, and in the morning you get yellow or greenish, fatty " stones " looking just as if they are made from olive oil. Anyone else doubt that stones are olive oil? IF YOU SAY YOU DON’T DOUBT IT, I AM GOING TO SHOOT YOU!!! :-) This message is very long, but I suggest you to save it on your hard disk and read it slowly. You can also read it here: http://www.curezone.com/art/read.asp?ID=58 & C0=2 I will try to test this hypothesis with 10 questions and answers. ================================================ Hypothesis: Stones we get are made over night, inside our intestines, and are made from olive oil and bile and other digestive juices. ================================================ Testing hypothesis with 10 questions: ================================================ ################################################## ================================================ 1. Test Question: If the stones are olive oil, Why do people who attempt to flush " gallstones " out get that confirmed by ultrasound? Example: <gallstones > From: " Koeller " <dwkoeller@...> Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2001 19:37:17 -0500 Reply-gallstones Subject: Success Story I just wanted to post another success story. I am a 33 year old male. I started having attacks back in August, while on a vacation in Niagara Falls after a heavy meal. I had lost about 25 pounds over the spring and summer and I had cutback on eating almost any fat through most of June and July. I thought at the time I ate something that was bad and had an episode of food poisoning. A couple months later I had another attack early in the morning right after consuming a bowl of cereal with milk. Once again I attributed it to something I ate and I was ready to get the cereal tested for poison or something along those lines due to the severity of the pain and the fact that it subsided after I had vomited . My grandparents, mother and uncle all had their gallbladders removed later in life, but I never thought of myself being afflicted at my age. My mom suggested it might be a gallbladder attack based on the description of the pain. I continued with attacks for about one week straight. I could not even eat any dairy or other fatty foods at all without suffering for a couple hours with dull pain with occasional sharp pains. I had mentioned my symptoms to a friends father at our church who had had severe gallbladder attacks two years ago and was diagnosed with a gallbladder problem that would probably require surgery. He did the olive oil and lemon juice flush. I started researching the flush since he was not sure of the exact recipe he had used. I found the following link: http://www.curezone.com/cleanse/liver/Are_You_Stoned.html I decided to give this recipe a try. I didn’t do any apple juice prep since at that point I was having attacks daily and I had already been diagnosed by my physician with a gallbladder problem after several days of continuous discomfort. I didn't want to wait any longer. I fasted the next day and tried to get down the 16 oz of olive oil and 8 oz of lemon juice. I managed to get down about ¾ of it over an hour and a half and I couldn’t bear no more and fell asleep on my right side. I could feel my gallbladder area surging and I knew something was going on. I finally managed to fall asleep and managed to get through until morning. I didn’t pass any visible stones, not that I checked all that thoroughly, but I did pass a very greenish stool and I felt pretty good. By 12 noon I felt pretty good and actually got out of the house. My three year old had to go to the doctor for some tests which thankfully turned out negative that afternoon. My wife decided to treat her to ice cream at Friendly's that afternoon. I decided I would try to eat a little. I felt decent and decided to do a test. I ordered a great big cheese burger and a large chocolate milk shake. Prior to the flush for over a week, even the slightest fat consumption and I was keeled over in pain, I figured if I got through this meal okay, then I was cured. I’m happy to say that I have not had any pain now for the last month and a half since I did the flush. I recently went for an abdominal ultrasound and I was diagnosed with an empty healthy gallbladder. The ultrasound technician had had her gallbladder out and mentioned that she wish she had known about the flush as well before taking to the knife. I plan to do a flush every year as preventive maintenance since this tends to run in my family. My mom was amazed with the success and wished she had known of this before she had surgery five years ago. It seams that this recipe was more extreme than others I have read about on the internet in regards to quantity of oil and lemon juice, but I figured the more you get down, the more work it will do. I hope others can benefit from the flush. I figure what have you got to lose. Your only taking in natural items, it's not like your drinking gasoline or something toxic.

Well,,, my problem seems to be that these big irregular shaped stones dont want to come out, they get stuck before the bile duct. Well, I had a succesfull cleans a couple of days ago, and got a big irregular out. They are also much harder that the other ones, beggining to get calcified. Well, the good news is that my gallbladder is working for the first time in ... years probobly. When I eat now i get this 'fluid' - 'getting hungry' - 'bowel movement' sound that I havnt had since I got sick (ibs - constipation). Hopefully this was the last 'hard to flush' stone. I have had some real problems flushing, but now Im on the track again. Lets see what the lecithin and flaxseed really can do now. take care - keep on getting healthier!

Hypothesis did not satisfy test question! ================================================ ################################################## ================================================ 2. Test Question: Why do people, who do bowel cleanse, get " fatty stones " out, though they didn't take one drop of oil ? Explanation: I spoke with many people doing herbal bowel cleanse, and many reported getting out " fatty stones " . There is a clinic in Sweden where you can undertake 1 or 2 weeks of fasting and bowel cleanse. People working there say that patients get occasionally gallstones ( " fatty stones " ) out by just doing herbal bowel cleanse and fasting. Also, people who do water fast for many days report passing gallstones. Water fast does not include drinking olive oil. 2. Conclusion and Answer: Stones are not made from olive oil.

One Example: --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jim Lambert jim@... oxyplusonelist Subject: [oxyplus] Re: liver flush I've done her (Hulda) flush method, and consider it the best of the methods I have tried, but BE SURE to deparisitize first, as Ms. is correct that you will get more stones out if you do. Also, you have to do another 2-3 liver cleanses at about 2 months invervals to get them all out. When you do the first cleanse you will get out the bigger stones and then the smaller ones will move forward & clog the liver even more, and you will feel bad again in a couple of months. It is NOT a one-time thing. When I started on Homozon several months ago I chose to take it with the juice of a whole lemon in a glass of orange juice. I took this twice a day with the Homozon. Every time I visited the toilet I noticed my movements were pea green and I swore I saw soft cholesteral stones passing. In about 7 weeks my liver was all cleaned out, and my bowel movements turned a light brown & have stayed that way. All of the upper back pains I had are gone, I can drink coffee again (tho I only do it rarely) and I can eat pork without getting a headache. All of these things confirm my liver is flushed out. The Homozon is optional for this. IMO it is better to do it with the Homozon, because the constant trips to the toilet keeps the toxins being flushed from being reabsorbed on their way out. jim -- jim@... http://www.doorway.to/madscience http://www.doorway.to/poetry ICQ:16531148 amicus certus in re incerta --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.

She is ten, but has had allergies and asthma for quite some time. When she was a baby, she had trouble getting her bowels moving even though I nursed her. My husband's grandfather said that her bile was slow to kick in. I have wondered if these things were reasons that she had allergies and asthma. About a month ago, maybe a little longer, she was having some really bad asthma problems. I was having to put her on the nebulizing machine each night for several treatments. I was beginning to think I was going to have to take her to the emergency room because we couldn't get her airways opened up. Each night was getting worse, so we decided to give her a liver cleanse. It was a pretty rough night for her even though we gave her the Ornithine capsules. She kept the olive oil down for a few hours, then threw it up, which was discouraging to me. I thought we had wasted our time. But the next morning, she started passing HUGE stones. I had done three cleanses prior to this, so knew what she was going to go through. Her stones were much larger than anything I passed though. She passed hundreds of small ones, but the most amazing thing was the amount of large ones she passed. If you put your forefinger and thumb together to form a circle that is an idea of the size of stones she passed. I'm saying at they were over 1 1/2 " in diameter. She passed about 15 of them this size and one that was even bigger. It was about the size of a golf ball!!! I was teasing her that her liver wasn't even as big at these HUGE things coming out of her. The most important thing about it was that she hasn't had an asthma attack since! That is incredible. Another benefit that I have notice from both of them, plus myself is weight coming off. My daughter lost about ten pounds, which put her right where she needed to be for her age and height. My husband lost weight, but it is too soon to see if it will stay off. :-) ~Karma ------------------------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 06:50:11 -0000 From: woman1998a@... Subject: Many cleanses... and still going on I'm the ONLY one of 36 cousins who has NOT had her gallbladder removed. My family fits the " fair, fat and forty " profile. I've done at least 12 cleanses over the past 5 years and I KNOW I've prevented surgery. For me, I had interesting symptoms... yellowish eyes, shoulder pain, nausea, and after each cleanse, all have lessened or disappeared. It took at least 4 cleanses before the really BIG stones came forward. Since, all the stones that come out are not calcified or even the slightest hard. When I am losing weight, and metabolizing my own fat, they are the black stones. Nothing is going to keep me from cleansing. My 72 year old mother has had numerous tests and a diagnosis of collagenous colitis. I've begged her, for years to do a cleanse. Finally out of desperation, years of vomiting after eating and continuous runs, she did it. You would NOT believe what she passed on the very first cleanse. On repeated, she kept passing stones. Immediately she stopped vomited. Her skin improved. She had classic liver itching. I am a firm believer that this is something that should be as routine as brushing our teeth or blowing our nose. --------------------------------------------------------------- Other References scroll down: 5.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Hi, First, I want to thank Agnes for a great response to the olive oil question. I had some immediate thoughts, but wanted to wait to post anything until Agnes had done so ( I was hoping she would!) I'd like to respond to: " The stones are green and clear looking (exactly like the olive oil). " Well, the stones I've passed have varied in color, dark green to light green, yellowish to darker brown. They could be described as cheese-like in texture, I guess....they are mushy. But, they are not clear, and certainly doesn't look like olive oil to me. The green ones are always darker green in color on the inside and could also be described as pea-like in texture. It looks like a green pea on the inside. One of the larger stones I passed (1.5 cm) was green on the outside and inside, and when I cut through it, the outside shell, if you will, was crusty in texture...like stale bread, and soft on the inside. I find it hard to believe that the body transforms the olive oil of the liver cleanse into the kind of substance I've described. If you've ever seen olive oil that has been refrigerated, it takes on the appearance of off-white/yellow cottage cheese. When it warms up outside the refrigerator, it takes on a liquid form. So, the body being warm, would not turn the olive oil into a solid, would it? The oil is going through the digestive system very quickly. How would the bowel, in that short of time, turn the oil into solid clumps? in so many different variations of color. My husband, who has no history of GB problems, did the liver cleanse with me last week. He passed 13 stones, between 2mm and 5mm in size, and they were very dark, almost black in color. So different from me! Yet, they had the same kind of mushy texture. I don't know...and I'm obviously not a scientist, but it just seems logical to me that these stones I'm passing are not composed of olive oil. One other note: On my second cleanse, I passed a light green 1.5cm stone that had a harder " shell. " When I cut through it, it seemed like I was cutting through toasted bread, however, it was soft and pea green on the inside. So, tell me how the body turned olive oil into that? One of the most logical reasons posted by Agnes, it seems to me, is that the body is passing the olive oil through our bodies at such a rapid rate, it could not have time to form it into the clumps of solid material (cholesterol), in such varied shapes and colors as I see being passed. I guess people will always be skeptical...but if you're unsure, why not take your stones to a lab and have them tested/analyzed? " The proof is in the pudding, " as the saying goes. Before doing the liver cleanse, I was in excruciating pain after a meal containing fat. Now, after doing 6 cleanses, I'd never know I'd been through such misery, except for the memory! I can't say enough good things about the liver cleanse!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 OK, someone Swallow Radioactive Olive Oil and Check ! y, the 400+ 'Stones' I have produced were Bile-Coated Fat-Balls (Yum Yum) It took me 40+ Years to GET This Unhealthy. I believe my body has stored ALOT of these Toxins. The Uphoric Feeling after a good Cleanse must be the result of Removed Toxins. Wether them 'Bile-Balls' are 'stored fat' or 'Removed Toxins' I believe ONCE is NOT enough. 2,000 'Stones' is a Quite Reasonable GOAL. The real Teller of this Tale is the Cleansers that have 'No More Stones' after Multiple Cleansings. TELL US, TALE TELLERS ! -Tom- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Adrienne; I would now like to thank you too for having posted such a show of logical thought regarding olive oil being the stones that are being passed. We've been through this many times on this group, people questioning whether the stones were the olive oil or from preformed cholesterol balls of fat. I have talked to a chemist who is envolved in the process of making soap, which is what the stones would be if in fact they contained the olive oil and alkakaline mix that would be necessary to make them at the right temperature. Shoot with the cost of what olive oil soap is if that was the case then it's really a pretty easy way to make high quality soap. However, chances are pretty good you had to use another soap to get your fingers clean after examining the stones like I have had to do. Adrienne, you've made numerous good notes of some facts regarding stones of which I would like to just reiterated upon. You noted the fact that the stones will in oxygenized conditions return to a liquid state outside of being refrigerated. By noteing that we can see why there is a strong potential for stones being reduced in size and quantity by use of oxygen therapies. You also noted that in your particular case there where varied colors. IF the olive oil had sapponified it wouldn't have done that, it would have all been the same color. There is one other thing to note, and that's the fact that often times once someone has started eating in such a manner so as to having an intake of foods that help the liver it in turns help to reduce the number and size of stones passed, dispite the fact that the same amount of olive oil was consumed at the time of the succeeding flushes. So, some are disappointed because there just wasn't the treasure hunt that they were expecting. Where as to me now having smaller and fewer stones from a flush is an indication that I'm really doing something right. I have to admit I've certainly passed a lot of stones and especially during the first seven months of having done so. Now, however, I tend to not do the flush the standard method because of my having access to the use of a colonic. I found that by taking olive oil around two to three hours before a cleanse I can get a pretty goodly amount of stones to come out just laying on my back. I made this little discovery by experimenting just before one that I was to be getting around a year ago and have continued to do it since then. I get oxygen therapy and a colonic at the same time so it seems to have worked quite well for my flushing purposes. The fact that your husband wasn't noted as having had any symptoms of gallbladder problems just goes to show that many people will carry them around without them causing any problems, or so it seems. It was noted somewhere that 80% of the people who die had gallstones of which never caused them any trouble, or so it seemed. So, if someone has been living the western diet of high fat and low fiber then chances are pretty darn good that in one way or another they are suffering from the effects of having gallstones, without even having a clue that something is wrong. This includes those who've gotten various checkups from doctor after doctor and still are not having any better results, other than more pills to burden the liver and gallbladder more. So, taking a bit of olive oil to clear the system's main source of digestion and waste control seems to me to be a very worthwhile endeavor to better health. Thanks again for your post, Adrienne Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Dale is right, the whole " stone or not " thing has been discussed many times. People are divided in their opinions on this, and that's OK. It's good that both sides post their opinions, and that way newbies can hear both sides, and come to their own conclusions, or ask more questions. The important thing is the respect which is shown here from the people who post on either side.
