Can Gallstones really exit gallbaldder and move to intestines? - Some gallstones from some gallbladders can exit and move to intestines. So, the liver flush may support that process. (Yes, a fatty dinner just might do something similar, but I am not convinced that the benefits of a fatty dinner can be compared to the benefits of a liver flush. Many, if not all people who tried liver flush, also ”tried” many fatty dinners (many times in their life), usually with not as many health benefits. But there is no doubt that fatty dinner is flushing your liver and your gallbladder, that ...

According to Daniel Reed, author of Tao of Detox, magnesium sulfate is rapidly excreted through the kidneys and therefore is difficult to assimilate. Dr. Mark Sircus suggests in Chapter 14 ”Magnesium Chloride vs. Magnesium Sulfate” of Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (2007) that the rapid rate of excretion in part explains why the effects of Epsom salts do not last long, and why you need more magnesium sulfate than magnesium chloride to get similar results. Magnesium chloride is more easily assimilated and metabolized in the human body (Transdermal 210). Dr. Jean Durlach of the Universit ...

Cholesterol is not a fat but a solvent which is dissolved and kept in solution as a flowing liquid when there are adequate amounts of essential fatty acids. The melting point of cholesterol is 300 degrees F. When lecithin is present (a major component of bile), the melting point of cholesterol falls to 180 degrees but it is still insoluble. However, when the essential fatty acids linoleic and linolenic are present in sufficient quantity, the melting point of cholesterol falls to 32 degrees, which is below blood heat. Bile contains a proportion of these essential oils together with oleic fa ...

There is a direct link between clogged liver/gallbladder and the spread of candida albicans. It is very simple: one of the functions of bile (bile acids) is to keep candida albicans in check- when sufficient levels of bile fluid is present candida can’t efectively attach itself to the mucosal layer of GI tract and therefore it cannot proliferate. I believe now that along with antibiotics clogged liver/gallbladder (=decreased bile flow) are top two reasons for systemic candidiasis. Sugar is just helper.

Yea, that will happen, As mentioned in the book, as soon as you initiate the flush process, all the material from the back of the liver moves forward and blocks bile flow even more. The liver really wants this material out, so once the process is started, it doesn’t want you to stop. Once congestion moves to the front of the liver, all hell breaks loose, but it’s absolutely necessary to carry out this repair on your body. You will most likely be on a roller coaster until the last batch comes out. Even one batch at the front can block bile flow just as badly as tons of stones at ...

Haha, I can’t stop laughing, Imagine that - a ’medical professional’ who is suppose to be someone you can trust tells you that you should stop taking control of your own health and flushing these stones out naturally, which has never killed a single person, to instead cut open your stomach and rip the entire organ out of your body, A very high percentage of people who have had their gallbladder removed, still have ”gallbladder attacks” - that’s because most of the congestion is not in the gallbladder, it’s in the liver. ’Gall’ means bile, the two words can be interchanged.

So I finally built the courage to do a liver flush after very little else over 10 years has worked... To provide some background on my story - I was in my late teens when I developed cystic shoulder acne which eventually spread to my face in my early years of University. Desperate for an answer I tried everything from antibiotics to Accutane. It was on Accutane that I suffered almost every side in the warning label, got mixed into serious drugs and alcohol and eventually became very sick and stopped the course at 6 months. My acne problem was gone but I now had major health issues s ...

Just do one flush at a time, do not plan too many ahead. If the liver flush is right way to go, it may help your acne already after the first flush. Or maybe after the second one. How many? Until all your digestion/acne/candida/skin symptoms are gone. How often? At least 10-14 days between flushes. Good diet between flushes (avoid food additives, factory food, canned food etc) is equally important as flushes. Liver flush is more like a Maraton, not like a sprint. You don’t run to flush your liver every day even if you feel it is working. You give your liver and your bile d ...

Hi Rachel, Last year I had the same pink around my lips. It really started after I started using a lip balm stick. I told a skin doctor that my lips were dry, even though I was using the regular name brand lip balm sticks, and he suggested Burt’s Beeswax. I bought that - it had peppermint in it - and started applying it around the edges of my lips. I developed the same pinkness that you have and could not get rid of it. After the winter was over, and I stopped using anything medicated on my lips (I have no problem with lipsticks), the pinkness slowly disappeared - but it took months. ...

In one post he said that pain indicates the presence of stones, in which case (when there is pain) he advised either to just take 30 drops of Chanca piedra extract a day for as long as necessary, which dissolves stones and sediment, or to substantially reduce the amount of kidney tea.

Fatty Liver simply means there is more fat in the liver than normal. A person with a fatty liver is not necessarily ill. Simple fatty liver is common. (In the US it is thought to occur in 1 in 4 adults.) Simple fatty liver is present when the fat content inside liver cells makes up more than 5-10% of the liver’s weight. Simple fatty liver is not associated with serious damage or harm to the liver. It seems that the fat just builds up harmlessly in liver cells. It can occur for no apparent reason and for this reason it is difficult to know how to change ones lifestyle. Both exercise and ...

The first two times I did it, I got no stones. After the third flush, in which I used Phosfood, and 12 ounces of oil, the following happened: no stones appeared during the next two days. On the third day some rock hard stones came out with a combined volume as big as two man’s fists, about the size of a gallbladder. The biggest stone was 2 1/4 inches across, and was egg shaped. After that, I got no hard stones, but every night for ...

Hi, thanks for the reply. In my research, even calcified gallstones CAN be gotten rid of with CONTINUED LONG-TERM intake of taurine and Vitamin C, of course assuming you have the time to do that and are not in repeated acute episodes that could be life-threatening. Do not be foolish with risks to your health, of course! Apparently gallstones cannot co-existent with constant intake of taurine. Malic acid also can dissolve them. Interesting, did you know that taurine is required to produce bile? Taking taurine improves bile flow and keeps it thin enough to PREVENT stones. Taurine also I ...

This starts to answer some questions why exercise may incresae bile flow. Circulation in the liver is greatly aided by the action of the abdominal muscles and the diaphragm, the thick musculature that divides the chest from the abdomen and expands the chest cavity. As the diaphragm expands the chest, it compresses the abdominal cavity. The liver sits just under the rib cage and is attached to the diaphragm with ligaments. With every breath, the liver is gently compressed, aiding the circulation of all the fluids through it. This movement is essential to the liver circulation, the produc ...

It ia actually better to have lipomas surface than remain stuck in the connective tissue areas under the skin (where they could engulf cells or cell walls, a precursor of cancer). Excercise is still a very important part of the recovery. To prevent new lipomas from being formed the liver bile ducts must be without obstructions. Haveing released a few hundred stones is a good beginning, but it is barely scatching the surface. Having a lipoma issue, you can expect to release at least 3-4,000 stones. As long as stones from the rear parts of the liver move into the frontal bile ducts of the li ...

It fills with stones which irritates the gallbladder wall which thicken. You can read about what causes NAFLD by typing the phrase into any search engine.

Don’t despair. It is not at all uncommon for chronic conditions to worsen. Andreas Moritz in his book on liver flushing said as much, and even used the example of a young woman who had facial rashes which worsened and did not significantly improve until six months into flushing. The reason it is not a good idea to flush too soon is because it takes at least a couple of weeks for your liver and gall bladder to recover. Your bile levels will not be restored, and thus another flush will not be productive. Moritz, who along with Hulda Clark, is considered the founding guru of liver cleans ...

Perhaps the fasting was the trigger for the acne and not the sunscreen - as fasting will release toxins and if they cannot be eliminated fast enough through the liver and bowels the skin will show conditions as it’s the largest elimination organ of the body. The sunscreen then probably prevented toxins from ’venting’ from your skin, essentially trapping toxins under the surface to then develop into the really large spots you describe.
