I was overdue for a gallbladder flush. I have been doing them regularly for 9 years. To me the worst part is drinking the Epsom salt water. It is so horrid. I decided to risk an alternative this go round. I took 1400 mg (4 scoops) of Natural Calm in 2/3 cup water in place of 1 Tablespoon of Epsom salt in 2/3 or 3/4 cups water. It 100% worked as well if not better than the Epsom salt. It is a different form of magnesium, but still has the strong laxative effect. I passed a lot of stones, in fact more than I passed in the last few flushes I have done. It has been at least a year since my last flush - I put it off for so long.
I also only used 1/3 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup grapefruit juice instead of 1/2 cup olive oil. I am an average sized female and this was enough to work very well.
I feel great now and won't dread the next flush quite so much.

I am not saying that doing a flush is a bad idea. I have seen too many false claims about it.

Dear Vera,For me, the proof is in the pudding. I feel so much better after a flush. My heartburn issues stop. (When heartburn returns, I know it is time for a flush.) I have literally passed stones before. They were white and looked like gravel. I have passed dozens of small green pea like things that I have wondered if they were just a result of the oil as you say. But sometimes I don't have that at all, but pass other things that float and would be best described as chaff. I nave not passed anything parasite looking, shew!
Just my experience...

Oh I agree! The flush is real. The "stones" -- not so much.For folks with sluggish gall bladders, the flush can be a real help! :-)
