Guest guest Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 Wow! I'm a little taken on reading this one, Barry, but I'll try to answer some of your questions as well as hopefully correct some statements. First lets take note of just what bile is and how it's made. Bile consists of water, bile salts, cholesterol, bile pigments, lecithin, lipids and electrolytes. Then too bile salts are made by the liver cells from cholesterol that either comes directly from foods eaten or the cholesterol synthesized dureing the fat metabolism. In the case of Olive Oil it's going to be synthesized from its fatty structure because of the fact that Olive Oil contains no cholesterol. http://www.merck.com/pubs/mmanual_home/sec10/121.htm We should note of what the message from Nick stated regarding the result of the labratory test. Nick noted that they stated the material tested had lots of cholesterol, but then Jay's addition to the thread noted a chiropractor who'd sent a sample to be tested and it was found to be 91% cholesterol. This would have usually been reported as a waxy substance or fecal matter but was noted specifically as cholesterol because of some other specially ordered chemical used to test the matter in Nick's example. So that leaves us with little question with which to deal, and according to Nick it also sounded to me like the test was done to cover all chemical makeups. Then too, we keep in mind that gallstones tend to form from the precipitation of the cholesterol from the bile salts and lecithin which is a mix called micelles. If there is too much cholesterol for the quality of bile salts being made then chances are pretty good the cholesterol will be able to precipitate from the mix much the same as fats will precipitate from dish detergent and stick to the walls of the sink when it has become overly saturated with fat. Keeping in mind too that the amount of water isn't really the issue with keeping the fats or cholesterol emulsified. http://www.orst.edu/instruct/ans311/311cl09.htm So, if we really want to get technical about the mix that was tested the test should include all of the various chemicals, hormones, and enzymes that are presented in the last link noted here. As to what happens if there is a large consumption of oil and then an elimination of it in short order chances are pretty good that it could be just oil and some of it would have been emulsified to be readied to get obsorbed throught the intestinal wall. However, as in the case of myself, getting a colonic just a few hours after an intake of 3 to 4 ounces of oil I often see oil deposited on the veiwing window or moving along on the top of the water like oil will tend to do since it is lighter than water. The bile will tend to be any combinations of translucent colors and more soluble in the water. http://hepatitis-central.com/hcv/labs/bileacids.html So, the main point here is that bile is still water soluble and will not form into a ball. In fact it will still be water soluble in the intestines just as if it hadn't had water removed from it as in the gallbladder.Certainly a good reason to drink lots of water each day. The only balls that may be seen would be oil that is starting to be emulsified but hadn't had enough time to complete the process because of having to move through the 20 plus feet of tubing at an excellerated rate. I guess we now need someone to scoop up a slug of the mix and have it analyzed since we now know the balls are a high percentage of cholesterol. Now then too, Barry, if you were eating greasy and fatty foods like French fries then I would imagine your liver and gallbladder didn't stand too much of a chance to produce a quality bile salt by which to get rid of the excess in cholesterol of which the flushes were attempting to do along with the attemp to get out the stone in the gallbladder. When I started on my venture into the flushes, and seeking to keep my gallbladder, I had totally avoided fats to a most religious degree. I've actually gotten to where I can't even walk into some places that have that greasy smell without feeling some nausia. The last French fry I had from Mc " D " tasted so bad I never finished it and had a greasy feeling in my mouth for hours. That was over two years ago and I can still remember the feeling of it. It's not to say I don't eat French fries today but they are now usually of the larger sizes and are baked instead of deep fried. Dale >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The question should be asked this way... First the facts. Olive oil does not ball up on it's own within the body. Olive oil is not the ingredient of 'soap balls'. Olive oil has 0% cholesterol. But... How much bile was in the stones? What amount of oil was found in the forms if 90% was not cholesterol? What else was tested for and found? Oil does not create soap balls or coagulate in the body in it's own solitary state but what happens when oil is entered into the gastrointestinal area and the digestive tract is clear, bile is squirted out of the common duct from the liver and gallbladder and soft globs of pure light green/tan bile is formed while passing through the digestive tract of the intestines and colon areas? How can we know for sure what happens to bile when it is promoted to move faster by the introduction of oil into the digestive tract? In other words does the flush just increase the speed of eliminating bile that normally travels down the tract in another form within a hard stool? Is this what we see in the flush? Just balls of soft bile that will coagulate because of the introducing of oil into the system to increase the speed of action? Is this why all these hundreds of globs are soft, green throughout, and seem to be regular bile instead of hardened gallstones? The action that is taking place within the internal labratory of the human body can never be duplicated by testing outside of the digestive tract. Sure, stones are not soap balls. Stones are not oil. But, are stones really only globs or balls of excellerated bile that would normally not create any problems if left to exit in the normal way that bile leaves the digestive tract? And is the flushing/fasting creating those balls of bile because of the method itself? I remember one time, between weeks of flushing that my body actually created this excellerated elimination of bile without olive oil. I had eaten french fries and greasy foods. The elimination was within one hour and it looked exactly like a flush with hundreds of balls of soft bile. Oils in the fries helped to create that action that my body would normal do but at a slower rate and within a hardened stool. In 95% of cases, gallstones are created within the gallbladder after the water has been absorbed out of the bile by the gallbladder. Those stones are hard and create problems. Soft blobs of bile will not normally be in that form within the body (unless promoted to form by the excellerated process of the fast/flush) and will not normally create colic problems within the body until the bile becomes gallstones.
