Here is a simple way to put an end to a lot of meaningless controversy

that seems to waste so much of our time on this forum. A thread that

comes up over and over is this: “Are these relatively soft, green objects

that are usually expelled by flushing really from the liver or

gallbladder? Perhaps they are just made of olive oil.”

We can each get this behind us permanently with a simple, safe

experiment:

Next time you do a flush, add an extra ingredient: some harmless organic

food coloring of a kind that is not affected by digestion. Suppose you

use red food coloring. Then when the stone-like objects come out, if they

are truly from the liver/gallbladder, cutting them open with a knife

should reveal that the stones have green or brown interiors but are

stained on the outside with red. If they are red inside, they were formed

in the intestine during digestion.

The only question is what sort of coloring to use. I haven’t figured that

out yet. Any suggestions? Bit of turmeric? Beet juice? Some red dye from

the healthfood store? Again, it has to be something organic, harmless,

and that isn’t affected by digestion.

Logically, there can be no denying that the results of such a test would

be definitive. Of course, nothing will convince someone who has already

decided the issue on an emotional basis, but I’m writing here to those

who want to approach the issue in a reasonable way.

Let us know the results if you try this. I plan to do it myself next

month after finding an appropriate coloring agent.
