>I did my first flush last month and got between a dozen and two

>dozen stones out. On the advice of my acupuncturist I had checked out

>a website with information on the liver and gallbladder, the flushes

>and chinese herbal tinctures that help increase energy and bile flow

>and soften the stones prior to the flush. I'm convinced the

>herbs helped with the flush. I didn't take any epsom salts and used

>olive oil with grapefruit juice. I also took some psyllium that night

>also. That night I woke up a few times, hot, nauseous, and burping

>olive oil and grapefruit juice. It would last about twenty minutes and

>then subside. The interesting thing is that the symptoms were very

>similar to what I would get just before terrible headaches (except

>for the burping :-) ). At the worst, I was getting them four and five

>times a week. The pain would radiate to and settle in my right temple,

>a spot my accupuncturist said was the gallbladder meridian. I've had

>pain in my hip also along the gallbladder meridian. My holistic doctor

>and my chiropractor weren't getting the headaches to stop. My diet

>(another one Dr. Weil discounted) and stress reduction have helped and

>I hardly ever get the headaches but still have some of the gallbladder

>meridian pains.

>

>In the morning after the flush I felt lousy and wasn't getting any

>results I took the coptis and curcuma that is supposed to help if a

>stone gets stuck. Within a half hour I started passing stones.

>

>I was eager to try the flush again and did so in two weeks time. This

>time I didn't get any stones but did get green stool. I probably

>should have waited longer to let the stones migrate to where they can

>be flushed. But it was interesting that there were no stones with the

>second flush even though everything I did was basically the same. I

>didn't take the psyllium and I used a different olive oil, but that

>shouldn't have made such a difference. I think this helps to prove

>that the stones are stones since if they were olive oil and grapefruit

>juice, I would have gotten stones with the second flush.

>It's frustrating when Dr. Weil discounts the flush so easily without

>finding out for himself. How difficult would it be to analyze the

>stones? In my research I have seen people accept what people like Dr.

>Weil says without demanding some proof. I don't want someone's

>opinion. I prefer a professional like Dr. Weil to get some proof

>before giving information one way or another. I have read some people

>have had the stones analyzed and found them to be mostly cholesterol.

>I've seen the pictures that were posted on curzone.com and with my own

>experience, I'm convinced. I'll be doing another flush in four to six

>weeks.
