Hi Anita!
I have been following your posts and you seem to really be trucking along and to have found your fasting stride!!
You must be around day 23 if my calculations are correct. Congratulations!
On to your questions.
Chaff is the gravelley stuff that floats with the stones but are not formed into stones.
What is Ornithine?
Also indexed as: L-ornithine-L-aspartate, Ornithine-aspartate, OA, ornithine comes in capsules and is taken to absorb toxins released into your body by the flush and to help you sleep.
If you want more detail than this, then the following sites are useful:

I am afraid I can offer no advice about keeping down the oil. To me it is like mother's milk - I just love the stuff!
I do however, absolutely loathe the
Epsom Salts though and for that I tip my head back while I am drinking - sort of locking into position and try to focus on anything else but the taste in my mouth. When I do start gagging - which I do every time - I tell my body - Let this in!! We need this to be healthy again! Let it in!!!
With regards to doing the flush, if you go to the top of this page and click on the "Cleanse" option in blue, you will see that the liver cleanse is not listed as optional, but as a must. As the article says:
"Bowel cleanse & Liver/gallbladder cleanse (together with
parasites cleanse) is really the most simple way to start curing acne, high cholesterol, eczema, psoriasis, asthma, allergies, gallstones, food intolerance, shoulder pain, abdominal pain, upper back pain, arm pain,
Gallstones attack, liver pain, gallbladder pain, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, heartburn, bloating, inflammatory bowel disease IBD, IBS, colitis, constipation, cancer, AIDS, MS, FMS, MSC, CFIDS/CFS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, seizures, osteoporosis, angina pectoris..."
i.e. it is at the root of all healing. I have read that the liver performs over 200 different functions - so it is something that you would want to be in tip top shape! You can not clean out liver and gall stones through fasting alone(though you can break them up with herbs and malic acid).
I am 37 years old and aside from my
food intolerances and allergies and an underactive thyroid, I look and feel very healthy.
I didn't have any stones that I knew of, nor any symptoms that I recognised as being caused by liver or
kidney stones ( now of course I know that my allergies and
food intolerances were symptomatic of both), but I have passed literally hundreds of stones with at least a total of 30-40 in the 2cm plus range and a number at 3cm.
Every time I flush, I get a shock when I see what comes out.
A friend of mine who is 27 years old and who was certainly not aware of having any liver or gallbladder stones flushed out about 60small ones and about 20 2cm ones and a couple at 3cm.
Only calcified stones show up on an ultra sound.
What I am aiming for is to cleanse and detox my entire system.
How is life in the land of the eating?
Damn fine!
Love and Light
