Can some gallstones naturally
exit gallbladder?
A gallstone may be
able to exit gallbladder, if the smallest diameter of that gallstone is smaller
then the smallest diameter of the ducts connecting gallbladder with duodenum:
Cystic duct, common bile duct and the sphincter of oddi. (when ducts are
maximum stretched). (See picture above. The cystic duct is
narrow throat-like
duct
that connects
gallbladder with the common bile duct.
Often, the smallest diameter of a bile ducts between gallbladder and
duodenum is the Cystic duct.
How small is the smallest
diameter of the Cystic Duct?
No two people are identical. The smallest
diameter of the cystic duct in an adult person can be from 3 to 10
millimeters. Rarely, it can be larger then 1 cm, up to 1.5 cm (15 mm) or about
half of an inch. That means that the largest gallstone able to exit
gallbladder may not be larger then 3 mm across smallest diameter for some
people, or 10 mm across smallest diameter for other people.
Can we dissolve gallstones?
Cholesterol based gallstones can be
dissolved with bear bile (Ursodiol, also known as ursodeoxycholic acid and the
abbreviation UDCA). Lecithin may help dissolve cholesterol based
gallstones. Increasing bile flow may help dissolve gallstones.
It may be impossible to dissolve Calcified gallstones. It may be impossible to dissolve Protein based gallstones.
There are unconfirmed reports that Calcified gallstones were dissolved
with Freshly pressed radish juice or with some other vegetable or fruit juice.
There are unconfirmed reports that Calcified gallstones were dissolved during
a water fast.
Ursodeoxycholic acid goes by the trade names Actigall,
Ursosan, Urso, Ursodiol and Urso Forte. In Italy,
it is marketed under the name Deursil.
Ursodeoxycholic is naturally obrained from bear bile.
Ursodeoxycholic acid can be chemically synthesized and was brought to
market by the Montreal-based Axcan Pharma in 1998, which continues to market
the drug.
The drug reduces cholesterol absorption and is used to dissolve (cholesterol)
gallstones in patients who want an alternative to gallbladder
surgery.
The drug is very expensive, however, and if the patient stops taking it, the
gallstones tend to recur if the condition that gave rise to their formation
does not change. For these reasons, it has not supplanted surgical treatment
by cholecystectomy.
It is used to treat primary biliary cirrhosis. In children, its use is
not licensed, as its safety and effectiveness is not established.
Ursodeoxycholic acid reduces elevated liver enzyme levels by
facilitating bile flow through the liver and protecting liver cells.
The drug is generally not derived from animals.
However, it is believed more than 12,000 bile bears are kept on farms in
China, Vietnam and South Korea for the purpose of harvesting
ursodeoxycholic acid. Ursodeoxycholic acid is found in large
quantities in bear bile.
How do we know that some gall
stones can naturally exit gallbladder?
Majority of gallstones that manage to pass
through a cystic duct may reach intestines. But, some gallstones will
exit the gallbladder and then stuck inside the common bile duct. Actually, the obstruction of the common
bile duct is often caused by gallstones expelled from gallbladder.
This in itself is the major proof that gallstones can exit
gallbladder.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=2407039&dopt=Abstract
"In patients with chronic Pancreatitis, common bile duct obstruction is reported
in 3.2-45.6% of patients; however, only 5-10% of all patients with chronic
Pancreatitis require operative decompression of the bile duct."
http://www.virtualgastrocentre.com/diseases.asp?did=191
"Passage of gallstones into the common bile duct occurs in approximately 10-15%
of patients with Gallstones. The incidence is thus related to the presence of
gallstones, which are very common (10-20% of population)."

"Jaundice occurs in patients with gall stones when a stone migrates from the
gall bladder into the common bile duct..."

Can all gallstones naturally
exit gallbladder?
No. If a gallstone is larger then the
smallest diameter of the ducts connecting gallbladder with duodenum: Cystic
duct, common bile duct and the sphincter of oddi, then that gallstone
will not be able to exit gallbladder.
Can liver flush help
gall stones naturally exit gallbladder?
Liver flush involves
drinking a large amount of oil. After
drinking a large amount of oil, liver will produce a large amount of bile, and
the bile will be stored inside gallbladder, and will exit gallbladder when the
oil start moving from stomach into duodenum.
Large amount of bile moving from gallbladder into duodenum
may carry some stones out into duodenum!
That way, liver flush may help get the gallstones out.
A single liver flush may not be enough.

Are there any risks associated with gallstones and gallbladder flushing?
Risks are small, but 1 out of 150
people with symptomatic gallstones may experience stone stuck inside the cystic duct or stone stuck
inside the common bile duct.

About
MAGNESIUM SULFATE
Description
http://eilat.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu/newnyc/drugs/magnesiu.htm
Magnesium sulfate reduces striated muscle contractions and blocks
peripheral neuromuscular transmission by reducing acetylcholine release at the myoneural junction. In emergency care, magnesium
sulfate is used to manage seizures associated with toxemia of pregnancy. Other uses include uterine relaxation (to inhibit
contractions of premature labor), as a bronchodilator after beta-agonist and anticholinergic agents have been used, replacement
therapy for magnesium deficiency, as a cathartic to reduce the absorption of poisons from the Gl tract, and in the initial therapy
for convulsions. Magnesium sulfate is gaining popularity as an initial treatment in the management of various dysrhythmias, particularly
torsades de pointes, and dysrhythmias secondary to a tricyclic antidepressant overdose or digitalis toxicity. The drug is also
considered as a class Ila agent (probably helpful) for refractory ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia after
administration of lidocaine or bretylium doses.
===========================
Magnesium sulfate is effective for severe acute asthma treated in the emergency department
http://www.acponline.org/journals/ebm/sepoct99/rowe.htm
Intravenous magnesium sulfate reduces the rate of hospital admissions and improves pulmonary function in patients with severe acute asthma treated in the emergency department.

============================
Magnesium sulfate is used to treat pre-eclampsia, eclampsia and preterm labor.
http://www.twinslist.org/magsulfate.html
Pre-eclampsia (also known as toxemia and Pregnancy-Induced High Blood
Pressure) consists of high blood pressure, protein in the urine and edema (swelling). It can rapidly become severe pre-eclampsia, with
very high blood pressure, visual disturbances, failing kidneys and elevated liver enzymes. In rare cases, pre-eclampsia develops into
eclampsia, where potentially fatal convulsions occur. It also can become HELLP Syndrome (hemolysis
(H), which is the breaking down of red blood cells, elevated liver enzymes (EL),
and low platelet count (LP)), which is potentially fatal to both the woman and
her baby or babies.
Chenodeoxycholic acid
Chenodeoxycholic acid (also known as chenodesoxycholic acid) is
a bile acid. It occurs as a white crystalline substance insoluble in water but
soluble in alcohol and acetic acid, with melting point at 165-167 °C. Salts of
this carboxylic acid are called chenodeoxycholates. Chenodeoxycholic acid is one
of the 4 main organic acids produced by the liver.
Chenodeoxycholic acid is synthesized in the liver from cholesterol. It was first
isolated in the domestic goose, hence the 'cheno' portion of its name (Greek:
χήνα = goose) [1]
This compound, when altered by bacteria in the colon, will result in conversion
to its secondary bile acid known as lithocholic acid. Both of these bile acids,
in addition to the others, can be conjugated to taurine or glycine. Conjugation,
a function carried out by the liver will result in a lowered pKa and therefore,
the compounds will remain ionized. These ionized compounds will stay in the
gastrointestinal tract until reaching the ileum where they will be reabsorbed.
The purpose of this conjugation is to keep the bile acids in the tract until the
end to facilitate lipid digestion all the way to the ileum.
In cases where bacteria overgrow in the small intestine, often due to a blind
loop in the intestine retaining chyme in one place, the bacteria will
de-conjugate the bile acids and therefore impede fat digestion and absorption.
This can lead to steatorrhea.
Chenodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid are the most important human bile acids.
Some other mammals synthesize predominantly deoxycholic acid.
