9th flush--challenge to Barry

[Guest guest]

Well, I did some revising of and 's protocals. Had apple

lemonade for breakfast. Had V-8 with AIM's garden trio for lunch. Had

one dose of Epsom (1tbs in 1 cup apple juice). Drank 1 cup of oil in

1/4 c increments with equal amount of grapefruit juice. For the first

time ever I was sick to my stomach after the oil. I could have never

done the full two cups as originally planned. Drank one Epsom dose

again in the morning. WOW!! For the first time (other than 1 large

1+cm stome a few back) I got a half dozen marble sized stones and 2

grape sized stones. They were all green firm bile type. Also probably

somewhere around 200 green and tan stones of varying sizes from grain

to pea sized.

Now the downer. I continued just drinking apple juice until afternoon

when we went to see Star Wars 2 as a family. I made the very bad

decision against my inner feeling not to, of eating plenty

of " buttered " popcorn. I have never had such an immediate reaction.

Within an hour I was starting an attack. I had convinced myself that

eating the fatty popcorn might give me anther cleansing reaction. Ha!

By the time the movie was over, I was pretty much in agony. I could

not drag the family out, during the movie so I just watched over the

edge of the seat while I took the sandwich position. What a mother

won't do for her children! We live an hour from the theatre, so it

took the drive home. I went straight into the hot bath and downed a

demerol. Ah sweet relief! My resolve to continue is starting to

crumble. I have two more months to do the six months worth of

cleansing I wanted to. If there had been a surgeon in the house, I

would have begged him to cut it out.

This will be long, so please check out if you're bored. I have done

most everything I can. I have done peppermint oil, herbal teas, milk

thistle, Beta-TCP, along with tons of stuff for my chronic fatigue. I

have changed my diet. I admit to faltering on occasion, but sheesh I

am only human. Right now I am as close to vegetarian as I have ever

been. I have meat once a week and that has been salmon and chicken.

No dairy. No sugar. No white flour products. Mostly fruits and

vegetables, some grains. My big no-nos now are #1 pork, and #2 movie

popcorn. LOL! I am sure the list will grow.

The benefits of my cleanse: I have lost 25 pounds. Everywhere I go

women hate me. tee hee. (I have not been this weight since before I

was married) I am very tall and can proudly say skinny. But, I am now

worried about losing anymore weight. I feel much better. The CF

doesn't even seem like a problem unless I stay up too late. I think

with this last cleanse I finally have gotten rid of the pocket of

mucus sitting in the back of my nasal passages. I will not go into

details, but that has been gross. Until the eight cleanse my skin was

really looking great except for age spots, but I think I have

triggered some kind of deeper cleanse with my diet, because my

forehead is covered with bumps. I am not worried about them going

away. My previous PMS, cramping (rare), and feeling like the

transmission was falling out, along with heavy bleeding is all gone.

I don't even mind the monthly visit anymore.

Now to my challenge for Barry. I have not reread your recent posts,

so this is going on memory. I have been thinking about your ideas

on " bile balls " . I think you might be right about that. It makes

sense to me that the bile would mix with the olive oil and create

soft stones. However, maybe had you done one more flush, you would

not have gotten anymore out and that still does not explain some of

these pictures with the cut out gall bladderfull of stones. I would

really be interested in the results of a post surgical cleanse. If

all you get out are bile balls, then maybe you are on to something.

On the other hand, it could also mean you have them in your liver.

But to my little mind that does not make much sense.

Which goes back to discouragement that I mentioned earlier. If all I

am doing is creating and flushing new stones, then what is the point?

I am encouraged at the size of these new ones, and I am really

tempted to make an appointment with the surgeon. Bring and ask him

about them, and then see if he will send them to be analyzed. Or can

someone tell me how I can do that myself and what it costs? If you

are still hanging in at this point, I will say one more thing that

confuses me about the " bile ball " theory--why do I get different

colored stones out? Are they coming from the gb? Dawn who still has

more questions than answers
