Q. So please educate us all on how and why all these stones are soft?
They are not all soft, and they are not all green. There are frequently smaller off-white stones that are harder which are ignored because people are impressed with the brighter larger green stones.
---R. The post was directed specifically to the 'green soapstones'- which is what was being referenced.
>- Q. So please educate us on why these stones float and why there is food particles in something that supposedly came from the liver and/or gallbladder?
The green stone float because they are formed from oil which is lighter than water. The real stones are often smaller and harder to see, therefore ignored.
---R. This supports the point- they are not real
Gallstones that came from the liver/gallbladder.
>- Q. Please educate us and tell us why and how these stones dissolve while real ones do not?
Anything will dissolve under the right conditions. Gold is impervious to being dissolved in most acids or alkalies but it can be dissolved in mercury and in aqua regia. Gall stones can be dissolved in some acids such as ursodeoxycholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid (both of which are in bile).
---R. Of course most anything can dissolve under the right conditions, what has that got to do with these soap stones dissolving while just sitting out? Real
Gallstones need to have something applied to make them dissolve, as you indicate.
>- Q. Please educate us on how a gallstone 5 times or larger than the tunnel it needs to pass through can do so?
Have you ever seen how big a newborn baby is relative to the birth canal? Yes, if there are large gall stones, it can be painful and I have heard many stories of severe pain. The objective of flushing is to remove the stones before they get too large. Also, once many smaller stones are removed, the larger stones may be more easily dissolved by the bile.
---R. The example of the baby and birth canal is a bad example. The birth canal is designed to do exactly what it does for birthing- The cystic or bile ducts or not designed to designed to do that.
>- Q. Please educate us on how you can get more stones out of something than it is capable of holding? And on a repeated basis? And still survive?
Once again, it is conceeded that the green stones are mostly from the oil that is consumed. It is the lighter colored, harder stones that are usually brought out along with the so called soap stones.
---R. As you can see from people responding to your post, that there are those that do not conceded this fact... which was where this post was directed.
>- material acquired from these very boards and nowhere else
Not everything posted on these forums is legitimate or reliable (hence the disclaimers).
---R 93412 complained that evidence supporting these were fake stones were from outside sources... which appears to be why the info listed in this post was soley from these boards.
In the end, you are looking at the chaffe and not at the wheat. Since I started selling zappers in 2001, I have had hundreds of customers tell me about their flushing experiences. The flushes do work, but not usually on the first time. I have heard of customers flushing 30 or 40 times before they had a real breakthrough with a pan full of real stones.
