Slower Cleanse Approach

[Guest guest]

I will add another question to yours. Of course I do understand the

whole concept of how the gallbladder contracts to release the bile to aid in

the emulsifying of the fat that is consumed. However.....does the

contraction differ according to the amount of fat? In other words, is it

just a standard contraction or does it attempt to push MORE bile out for

larger amounts of fat? Perhaps this may seem like an elementary question,

but it actually is important to answer the question of the " power flush " vs

the " gradual flush " .

If the strength of the contraction is based on the amount of fat, then it

would seem that the stubborn stones would be more likely to be passed with

drinking a larger amount of oil at one time, as opposed to spacing it out

over several hours.

On the other hand, if the contraction is the same regardless of the amount of

fat, then it would seem to make sense to space the drinks out so that there

are repeated contractions of the gallbladder over the course of an evening

and then perhaps the stone would be jostled with one of the initial

contractions and pushed out in a latter one.

So...anyone here study anatomy?

Regarding the posts about using the " slower " version of the cleanse

for larger stones and problem gall bladders - I am wondering, is this

because you are more likely to pass the stone using this approach

(taking the oil in smaller doses over a longer period of time) or is it

because it may be better not to do a forceful flush that would make

a large stone try to come out and possibly get stuck...while slower version

would clear out a lot of smaller stuff, without the intense push of

taking a lot of oil at once...does that make sense?? Anyone know?
