colitis, soap stones

[Guest guest]

I have a few questions concerning this article which in its'

entirety may be found at the following link.

http://chetday.com/gallbladderflushes.htm

Chet, I wanted to point out one thing about the liver flush. After

recommending this dozens of times to patients, and usually seeing a

lot of benefit, there are two concerns.

One is that it can and does occasionally send people to the hospital

with an attack of cholitis if a stone becomes lodged in the biliary

duct. The other is that what people assume to be passing as

gallstones, are actually soap stones. If you leave them out at room

temperature long enough, they will melt.

Also, if you send them to a lab, which many of my colleagues and I

have done, you will be disappointed. That's not to say that the

treatment isn't helpful, but people should not be misinformed that

they are passing gallstones. At least the half dozen sample I've

sent in have all been " soap stones. "

Dr. Murray, ND, LAc

My Questions:

1) I did not know that colitis may be caused by a blockage of the

biliary duct. This is quite interesting to me. Can anyone elaborate

more on how this happens?

2) If a stone gets lodged in the duct then wouldn't a dose of Epsom

salts help to release it? I noticed that he is not using the

recipe. His does not call for the Epsom. I seem to recall reading in

Dr 's book to use Epsom in the event of a painful gallbladder

attack.

3) This is the first I have heard of " soap stones. " This is not

making sense to me. A stone is a stone is it not? Whatever it is

made of it is sure to be displacing or slowing the flow of bile

which is one of the main things to be concerned about. Anyone know

what he is talking about?

Thanks

, I'll let others go into detail about the rest of your post...But this

statement is totally not true: " If you leave them out at room temperature long

enough, they will melt. " We have saved some of ours in jars at room temperature

and the do not melt! of Dewberry Hill

" People are like stain glass windows; they sparkle and shine when the sun is

out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there

is alight within. " -Kubler Ross

" Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that

followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. "
