Good as it keeps you careful, bad because sometimes it keeps you from trying something that is good for you. I don't know why some say thay pass thousands of stones, that's never been my experience, and I have no idea where that many could possibly come from. Over years maybe, but not from flushing every couple of weeks over a short period of time...but I'm only speaking from my own experience. I am 100% sure, however, that " stones " that I pass are from my gallbladder/liver...this last time I had waited years to do a flush until I was almost miserable. So the stones had been packed in there for some time. When some came out in clumps, they were packed together and fell apart, shaped in such a way that you could see they had been that way for some time. There's a picture of some of those at my web page. But the next flush, they were brighter green, softer stones and a lot of sludge. So that leads me to believe that there may indeed be stones in the liver...where else could they come from? and I don't buy the olive oil/ bile etc. reaction causing what looks like stones that Dr. Wiel pushes at all. I don't know where the color would come from, and some of my stones have contained calcium deposits...at least that's what I belive what the white part of the stones is...you can see small spots of white on some of the stones in my picture. He is into natural things, but still has a bit of a medical bias. Anyway, nothing takes the skepticism away like proving it to yourself by doing, and it's the extremely rare MD/gastroenterologist that is ever going to tell you that this is valid. (I'm not a huge fan, think she's a bit extreme, but I do like the flush procedure she gives...but use flax seed oil with the olive oil as it has anti-inflammatory properties. I'll also add that I am not against medical doctors, they have helped with many things in my life and the life of my family, but it's a shame that some are so opposed to alternative approaches. Us taking care of ourselves with herbs, etc. doesn't pay their bills, I guess.) L.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 alex i went through the same skepticism that you are going through. i had mri and ultrasound performed. neither of which showed any stones. and yet i could feel something like rocks under my right rib cage. the flaw with the tests is that they only pick things up if they have a certain degree of density like bone. stones are often soft and therefore will not show up on scans. doctors actually know very little about how the human body works. this is evidenced by the low rate of cures that they effect. food coloring probably wont affect your cleanse, but there is no need for it. just do a few more and you will see larger stones and you will feel it. or you can take them to a lab and have them analyzed as others here have done. i think you are right about dr clark. she tends to exaggerate complex things. but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. she has alot of great things to say, just like some doctors. bottom line is you have to make your own decision. as far as the volume of stones i have produced-- it is no surprise to me. in fact, it is a relief because i have been suffering with a chronic illness for many years. the volume of stones seems to correspond somehow with the severity of my illness. had i only passed a few stones, i would have been more skeptical. it does not defy the laws of physics in my case. as far as autopsy, i think you are right. the problem is that i doubt autopsies are even performed anymore. if they were, then stones would indeed be found. i have often challenged doctors to come with me and perform an autopsy in front of my eyes. i doubt that livers are meticulously sliced open during autopsy anymore. a friend of mine was a pathologist and reluctantly agreed with me that most colons are severely impacted. he is a bit overweight and i asked him about his. he said, oh no, mine is fine i had a colonoscopy and its perfectly clean. i laughed because i have been colon cleansing for a long time and dumped tons of waste. the coloscopy test is also flawed because it can only look at the outer surface of the intestine and the waste lies underneath this layer of mucous. anyway, he was in denial like most people are.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 , I had my GB out last Sept. and my Dr. told me that I could start having the same symptoms in a couple of years because the liver produces gall stones and then you can pass them and have pain when they either go through or get stuck in the bile duct.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Hi , It is true that you can have stones in the liver and suffer after the gall bladder is gone. I have had my gall bladder removed 5 years ago. I still have gall bladder pain. It is stones that are either in the duct or in the liver. About a month ago I had a sever pain. The worst than any gall bladder attack that I had previously. I laid down and in half an hour it all passed. I finally had felt better than I had in weeks (immediately). I know I passed a stone as the pain radiated from my right side to my back just like with my gall bladder. I felt good for a few weeks, but now I am feeling the heaviness in my chest like before so I know I should do a cleanse. I need to work on a bowel and parasite cleanse first though. I am waiting on the results from my ultrasound that I had yesterday. I have an enlarged spleen and need it looked at again. I believe that the liver is all blocked up causing some bad stuff to build up. they took many pictures of my liver and area so hopefully they can tell me something new. The lab tech that ran the ultra sound said if there were stones that the ultrasound would pick them up in the liver. I suppose it would only be a certain type that is visible? I'll have to wait until late next week for any results.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Hi Glenda, Yes unfortunately it is only the densest stones that are picked up on all tests unless they cast a shadow of some sort. I have stones and they didn't show up on ultra sound or mri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Dear , My doctor is VERY conservative and honest. She is not usually into alternative medicine. When I told her I was thinking of doing a liver flush she said it is not unusual for a person to have stones and sludge in their liver, even after having the gall-bladder out. My husband and I have now done 6 flushes since January. We have had lots of stones come out and certainly feel better for it. None of these stones showed up on x-ray or ultra-sound, despite me having bad attacks which sent me to hospital. I would encourage you to try the flush. It is easy, cheap and can be done in the privacy of your own home. Warm regards, Rosemary. ----- Original Message ----- From: Morese gallstones Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2003 4:55 AM Subject: Re: Gall Bladder Attack or no? Thanks for the response. I am not so worried about the reflux anymore, the attacks are 100 times worse than anything I used to go through, and now that I have changed my diet the heartburn is down about 80%. I still smoke though, and I know that is no good for the digestion too. I am just a little skeptical of the whole flush. I am trying to get a handle on it. I have a chiropractor and nutritionist telling me that it works and a gastroenterologist telling me its hooey. Plus you have Dr. Weil saying its hooey, and he is one that you can usually count on for alternative opinions. I have such a hard time grasping how so many intelligent and experienced people could have differing opinions on such a simple thing. It either works or it doesnt. Stones are either produced in liver or not, if they are I would think over the years with all the autopsies, it wouldnt be hard to establish this. Every time you cut into a liver it would be full with stones, at least some, by the account of . That would be undeniable in western medicine if it were true. I don't know, I am just sick of the pain and the fear of an impending attack all the time. Thanks, for the advice. > Dr.'s books are where you will find relief!reflux is bacteria feeding on your bile.Do a bowel cleanse/parasite/kidney cleanse.then liver cleanses. it's in the book!
