After routinely eating bitters(bitter melon, citrus peels, bitter tea), I passed the biggest liver stone on my 13th flush. The stone was measured 3.5cm X 1.5cm, and from its rod shape, I figure it should be coming from the liver but not the gallbladder; if it came from the gallbladder, its shape should be round, right? Does anyone disagree?
I started my 1st flush in February of 2008, and even until today, I still couldn't believe how can my body to harbor this monster for a long time, although my last two flushes produced big stones as well. But this 13th flush finally did its job for me, and I think the stones from the far end of the liver finally came forward to be push out by the flush procedure. The stones have a dark green waxy texture that feels semi-hard like bubble gum, so it was very different compare to my first flushed out ones early this year which has a light green and marshmallow texture.
No wonder I was feeling sicker and more pressure in my right ribs between the 8th to 12th flush. Luckily, now I am fine again after this monster came out. I hope I am not going to pass another one like that.
Before, I was so afraid that I might get a stuck stone. Now, is there anyone out there ever pass a stone that is similar size or bigger than mine. I am asking this just to find out that if some of us are capable to pass big stones if they are just coming from the liver bile ducts, but not the gallbladder(Expert says stones in the gallbladder could get really big, like a golf ball).
Anyway, I always would like to share my experience with everyone out there, so we can learn from each others' flushing experience.
Certainly yes, compare to last year, I am now many many many times better than the times before I started flushing. All those unexplainable health symptoms are subsiding as days go by, such as:
tightness in the right rib cage area
wake up in the morning feeling stomach full
chronic fatigue for no particular reason
wake up feeling aches/numbs in the arm, or legs, or even the head
heart palpitation in non-stressful situation
can't handle stress
uncontrollable anxiety, even though I know I am not suppose to do that
feeling depressed and worry for no reason
lactose intolerance, candida problem, unexplainable diarrhea
low fever, feels heavy and sluggish with my body
eye sight declines, blurry vision at night time
This just a quick list I come up with right now, there are more of course.
I usually felt the benefit right after a flush, especially after the first 5 flushes, but those times were short-live and I felt the symptoms coming back a few day later after each flush. I knew this was normal.
Then between 6th and 7th, I only passed a few more soy bean size stones, I thought that I released most of the stones.
I waited another month, but the symptoms remained, and I felt this was not right, so I started flushing again in August. Between flush 8 to 12, I actually felt more pain/pressure than before, but I could feel the pain lessen every time after a successful flush so I knew it was working-the major stones were moving down.
So what I am trying to say is that you don't see the health improvement in a linear fashion but more like an up-and-down process. In general, most of the time I feel good after a flush, but sometimes if a big one got traped down the line, I could end up feeling really bad. For me, when this happens, I just eat light, eat bitter foods, and exercise.
Thinking back right now, by comparing the general health feeling after each flush, I can say that my overall health was improving nevertheless.
Your detailed report was most helpful. I have had four flushes.
After the first one my lifelong constipation went, and the insomnia
of several years is 90 percent better. So I'm grateful for those improvements.
However In some ways I seem to have gone backward. The chronic fatigue and depression seem worse, so I am anxious to hear of others experiences of symptom relief.
