Hi Joe, I was just wondering if you had seen a doctor and had an ultrasound performed to see if you have stones. While I am inclined toward holistic approaches, I very much believe that the flushes may be better preventative measures than cures. If you have pigment stones (hard rather than rubbery) in your gall bladder, you could cause yourself problems if those hard stones get lodged in the common bile duct. I recently had laparoscopic surgery (March 26). I was unimpressed by a cocky surgical resident who took my questions about holistic alternatives as signs that I was scared ...

Julia, I hope all is going well with your recovery. I unfortunately do not have an answer to your question but did want to commiserate with your situation and offer advice for those debating on having surgery. I had laparoscopic surgery five days ago (March 26). I’m still feeling a little bloated. I only had one attack (February 19). The doctors in the ER said that I would most likely need gall bladder surgery. I saw a surgeon, who said it should come out. I was quite put off by his cocky resident who kept telling me how I shouldn’t be ”scared” about surgery, because I asked about ...

I actually didn’t have any problems on the day that my stones came out (no diarrhea). I’m guessing that hundreds of stones came out (I didn’t do an actual count but saw many). Dr. Lewis’ flush didn’t mention epsom salts, so I didn’t take them. But from reading more on curezone.com, I gather that they are quite helpful in the flushing process. I just started reading Dr. Clark’s book. It is quite possible that I have hundreds of stones to still get out of me. I do plan on doing another flush in a few weeks using Dr. Clark’s recipe. I’ll try the parasite cleansing first. The warmt ...

Does anyone know if the herbs used in parasite cleansing have negative effects when taken with prescription drugs? For example, I heard that taking St. John’s Wort has been shown to inhibit the effectiveness of birth control pills. Is this also the case with the herbs used in Dr. Clark’s parasite cleansing?   [End]

I had a gall bladder attack a week ago Wednesday night (first time). I went to the ER and had an ultrasound. They said it was the gall bladder and that I should consult a surgeon. They observed a thickening of the gall bladder lining and stones. Over the weekend, I came across curezone.com and surfed through the forum, which was quite informative. I decided that I would go ahead and do Dr. Lewis’ liver flush (2 cups olive oil, 1 cup lemon) regardless of what the surgeon said. On Monday, I had a little fruit, vegetarian vegetable soup, and juice. On Tuesday, a drank only fruit ju ...
