[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  09/04/2010: Dan from Hollywood, Fl, U.S.A. writes: "I have been flushing my gallbladder on occasion for the last approximately 18 years simply using 10-12 ounces of olive oil taken a few ounces every 15 minutes followed by a sip of lemon juice.

I am a 52 year-old male, 6 ft. Tall, 150 pounds. I have been a Vegan for 27 years, eating a mostly raw food diet. Yet, I still get a gallbladder full of
Gallstones periodically (twice in the last 4 years.) I had always attributed this to occasionally eating foods cooked in oil or roasted nuts, as these indulgences would result in either a gallbladder attack or extreme discomfort. However, everything I have been reading says that these green wax-like stones are comprised mainly of cholesterol which my girlfriend informed me only comes from animal products. Therefore my experience tells me that the cholesterol theory may be incomplete. In my search to eliminate gallstone producing fats from my diet I stopped eating "raw" cashews because they are heated in the shelling process and so are actually not raw. Does anyone have any ideas on why non-cholesterol eating people get gallstones?"

I just would like to share with you an ancient gallbladder remedy, that I have found in a little Mazdaznan book after a gallbladder attack last week. Take a tablespoon of olive oil every two and a half hours. In between take very hot milk slowly by tablespoon. According to Mazdaznan, this should dissolve gallstones. General information: during this time eat less than usual and drink plenty. I am not sure if it works, as I just started to try this remedy. Nevertheless after a really bad and painfull gallbladder attack, I tried this recipe the following day and the pain in my right shoulder subsided very quickly. I hope this will help somebody else too.

Best wishes from Germany :-))

Liver flushing with extra virgin (first cold pressed) organic olive oil is the cleanse of choice for most gall bladder and liver flushers, as the most basic ingredient. There are products out there that some use to dissolve stones, but I understand that they take time and may not give immediate results, if at all. There are also a number of variations in the flushing techniques people prefer to use. Some try different protocols each time they flush, but they all consist of using olive oil, or some other form of oil, and lemon juice. I have only flushed once, so far, but have learned quite a bit from the veteran flushers on the yahoo gallbladder discussion site.

This is the flush protocol I decided to use (below) and it was very successful, using the Global Healing Center's products Oxy-powder (colon cleanser) and Super-Phos 30 (mixed with organic apple juice to soften/dissolve stones), both taken for 4 days prior to flushing. This protocol also uses Epsom Salts (I mixed this with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice to improve the taste), which are used as an additional colon cleanser on the day of the flush, but the Epsom Salts also have the added benefit of dilating the bile ducts to allow stones to pass easily and without pain. It's recommended to do a parasite cleanse, first, but many don't do this on the first flush, as they are generally seeking immediate relief, and a parasite cleanse can take several weeks to complete. Also, some people are unable to stomach ascetic juices and the epsom salts, if they suffer from acid reflux or IBS, but cleansing the intestinal tract (some type of colon cleanse) is highly recommended, first, in addition to fasting after lunchtime on flush day, as this speeds the flushing of the stones with little or no pain.

Another excellent site is Julia Chang's site, which incorporates the use of Chinese Bitters and Gold Coin Grass. I haven't used her protocol, but other flushers give it a big thumbs up. Apparently, Ms. Chang is also extremely helpful when users have called for advice and help.

The one Tara outlined for you (click here to read Tara's remedy) is, from what I understand, a little more on the aggressive side, as most people find it very hard to swallow such large amounts of oil on an empty stomach, with nausea being a side-effect of that. There are other flushes that can be done that are a little easier on the system and can be repeated at shorter intervals (every two weeks, if necessary). There are also "slow flushes", which involve taking smaller daily amounts of olive oil and lemon juice.

Curezone lists a number that many have had great success with, if you scroll down the main page a ways:

Dr Hulda Clarke's is very popular with flushers and the William Donald Kelley flush is almost identical to the one recommended by Global Healing Center that I used.

There is a lot of controversy about gallbladder and liver flushing with the mainstream medical community, as you most likely already know. Dr. Andrew Weil, the renowned Harvard trained doc turned holistic guru, is quite damning on his website, calling the flushed, soft green stones "soap stones" and simply a byproduct of the olive oil. Although, quite a few flushers have had their stones analyzed, as evidenced at the Curezone site, as being cholesterol, calcium and bile stones.

All I confirm is from my own personal experience and that really "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" with each individual on this. I got immediate relief from doing a flush and passed many green stones, but I also passed quite a number of whitish-tan colored, hardened cholesterol stones and fatty chaff. There are a number of pics you can view at the Curezone site of types of stones flushers have passed. One incredible side benefit is that since doing my first flush in March, I have had almost complete relief from perimenopausal pms symptoms, which I hadn't anticipated! I understand that the liver functions as the body's garbage disposal unit. If it isn't functioning at full capacity, then it can't break down toxins in the body, including excess hormones (like estrogen dominance during the change of life), but it would seem that a cleansed liver can! :) Estrogen dominance, in and of itself, can be a culprit of stone formation, hence the four Fs (forty, fair, fertile, female) profile.

The medical community's first line of defense is to remove gall bladders, as being dispensable body parts, much like an appendix. However, it is also known that people who have their gall bladders removed are also at greater risk of colon cancer, as bile then drips directly and continuously into the duodenum. Also, many stones that end up in the gall bladder come from the liver in the first instance. So, while a person may have had their gall bladder removed, this doesn't always remove the original problem and the pain may continue from liver stone formation. The other argument is that mainstream docs say "stones can't be passed", yet this doesn't explain why stones (that are being passed) actually get lodged in the bile duct in the first place.

Many who flush have managed to keep this vital organ by regular flushing. Some have even had 'before and after' ultrasounds that have unequivocally shown that their stones have miraculously 'disappeared'.

I'm not a medically trained person and I don't have a lot of experience with regular flushing, but I was willing to try this more gentle holistic approach to relieve the pain I was experiencing. Since the one flush, I have had no pain from biliary colic, at all, so I am convinced that this protocol works! However, as with anything, it also requires a complete attitude change with regard to conscious eating habits and taking responsibility in this regard. There is even more controversy regarding types of diet to prevent gall stone formation, but the general consensus amongst flushers is that fat-free diets and long periods of fasting are a major culprit of stone formation, because the liver then overcompensates to produce its own cholesterol, thus creating stones. This is often why thin people may also have high bad cholesterol levels. So, healthy, mono and polyunsaturated fats (excluding all saturated fats) are actually required by the liver to maintain optimal function with the good cholesterol to keep it cleansed and in good working order.

Hope the site references help a bit. You will be able to glean quite a bit more information from them. My experience and knowledge about all this is still rather limited, just at this point."

CURE FOR GALLSTONES
INGREDIENTS:
2 Bunches of fresh Parsley

Boil 2 bunches of Fresh Parsley into 1 litre of Water and drink during the day. Add whatever you like to make it go down in a more pleasant way. I like lemon for example. The most important with Gallstone is to dring a MINIMUM of 2 litres of water a day.

The parsley tea can be boiled and drunken cold or hot."

05/21/2011: Bill from San Fernando, San Fernando, Philippines replies: "Hi Saroj... I have used Chanca Piedra(called Bhumyamalaki) and Heavenly Elexir(called Guduchi) which are both used in Indian Ayurvedic and Unani medicine.

I have used both successful in a water decoction for gallstones, kidney stones, gout, arthritis and candida. Therefore, it would probably benefit you to see a good Ayurvedic healer in your area, since these two herbs are Rasayana herbs in the Indian medical system.

If this is not possible then simply buy Chanca Piedra(Bhumyamalaki) capsules from a health store and take 1000 mgs at mealtimes. This herb gently dissolves away and loosens gallstones and kidney stones which is why this herb is also known as "Stonebreaker". Chanca Piedra should get rid of the gallstones within about a month.
