If you know that you have calcified stones, take chanca piedra every day for 2 months and then take a week break (Andreas Moritz). I have been doing this since I knew I had a 2.8 cm calcified stone. My last ultrasound was almost a year ago. I am thinking of going again.

Before the flush I do 4 days of ACV, phosfood, and 4 evenings Oxypowder .
Sometimes I use other products for the 4 days. The chanca piedra is constant. In general it is good not to stay too long on any one product.

phillip, i'm not sure which interval you're referring to. i flush mainly every two weeks. sometimes i will do a flush one week after a flush, then wait another two weeks again. doing it weekly on a regular basis is really hard on the body and all in all you less stones out then if you just wait the full two weeks(i experimented. it is good to take a break from chance piedra for a week or so every once in a while, otherwise it may lose its effectiveness.

Yes it is tough to be old, like 68, but the problem is my mind is 40 and may be my body 55 :)

I have done about 28 flushes but about half of them in a sloppy way, not following the rules too well.
I started in Feb'03 but I got more serious in Jan'04. Last year I use the chanca piedra, Julia Chang's herbs but never followed the instructions well.
I am now very committed to chanca piedra, don't use the Chang's herbs anymore. To be cheaper I use phosfood, I bought stone free,use ACV. And bought some other stuff.
You must be young and impatient *smile*. Alternative medicine is a slow process.
But I am happy no gallbladder problems anymore and my stone might still be there, you can live with gallstones! No allergies and better complexion, so nothing to complain about.
I hope you will be a perfect person at my age, I wish I had known about this earlier.
Sorry to say I never count the stones as long something comes out, it is progress.
Hope you have the right diet otherwise your body will keep making stones.

Snozberry, I don't know that there's any way i could guess how many flushes it would have taken. there are far too many variables to figure that out. however i can say a lot more, and not just a lot. if you think about it, chanca piedra, and chinese bitters will also help break apart large stones that you never would be able to flush out otherwise. they really are "tools" to help get all of the stones out. also apple juice/cider does help to get the stones loosened up so you can flush more out at a time. i discovered these 3 work the best for me. stones often come out like sand... and tons of them, its crazy. i'll also get huge stones, which i can tell were just pieces of a much larger stone. i think it's the only way to really clean out the liver and gallbladder, break everything apart and soften it up so it can be removed.

i definitely don't think 10 flushes would have been enough for me. yes everyone wants to get this overwith quickly, unfortunately it's not that easy. it's really dependent on the person, and there's no way to predict how long it will take a person to get rid of all their stones. but i agree with your thinking, there has to be a better way. thats why i started doing seriouly preparation. i also eat no food for 10-12 hours before the flush, and no fat whatsoever on the day of the flush. i take no drugs , vitamins and have no refined Sugar whatsoever on the day of the flush. i also get lots of sleep several days before the flush, anything that can help.

i've never flushed out less than 100 stones except when i did the coke flush once. with clark flush i flush between 100-1000 stones every time.

i've never seen a calcified stone, they were all cholesterol stones, looking older and older with each flush. i have done 35 Liver Flushes total, flushing about 7500 decent sized stones. probably about 20 huge stones.

i hope that helps,
best wishes.
