Depends on the diet you went on. The biggest problem with the original Pritikin diet was that he removed all sources of fat, even natural fat (like nuts), and basically everyone who went o n the Pritikin diet ended up with Gallstones and having to have surgery to have their gallbladders removed. With no fat in the diet, the bile and cholesterol just sat in the gallbladder for extended period of time and calcified.

Did you do the parasite cleanse and kidney cleanses before doing the liver flush? Even tho you are in pain you may have time to get enough stones out before the surgery date and if this works you can cancel the operation. It is much more healthy to have a gall bladder which can collect bile and squirt it out when you eat. And you will still have stones up in your liver which you probably have to to keep flushing out as they can get stuck and be painful. Does taking Epsom Salts relieve the pain?

Did you take anything to try and soften the stones PRIOR to the LF? Things like fresh squeezed apple juice, gold coin grass as well as other herbs and foods. Sometimes a Liver Flush is too hard on some people, you may be one of them. There are other ways to help your liver and gallbladder.

Please try doing this before you get your gallbladder removed. Have you visited this website for in depth info on your liver and gallbladder http://www.sensiblehealth.com/


Every organ we have we must hang onto. Our bodies were made this way. EVEN our tonsils and appendix have a place in the human body and to cut them out because a mainstream medical doctor has no idea how to cure you is asking for trouble.

I wish you well and hope you find the answer that will help you. DON'T GIVE UP, your body CAN heal itself if given the right tools!!

Be absolutely clear about what you've decided.

The success of gallbladder surgery is established on surgery grounds alone. Once you are released by the surgeon after a few months that is the end of the procedure, and at this time a very high percentage (about 98%, can't remember the exact figure) of people have resolve the pain problem.

HOWEVER, and it is a big however, after 2 years 40% of people have a return of some of the symptoms because the cause hasn't been dealt with and the gallbladder wasn't to blame.

Five to six liver-flushes isn't nearly enough to clean the biliary system and in 6 month there was the scope to do more. Around 8 flushes is the minimum but for sludge and stones 12 to 20 are more usual. I didn't expel my troublesome stones until 11 flushes and it took many more to get rid of the stranglers.

I wish you well.

Water fast is always a good alternative. It softens the stones and becomes sand like when expelling. After that, even a short fast of only 7-10 day's you can continue with a flush. But if you could go for longer I wouldn't even do a flush. I have bad experience doing a flush after water fast. But again the Water Fast is a very good alternative.

Telman is absolutely right, I know someone who is only 26 and has his gallbladder removed, his symptoms came back and got rid of them with diet changes. But he did lost his Gallbladder.

Is the vomit coffee-ground brown?
Do you also have an ulcer? ( I had)
I also got gall stones after loosing weight (in my 60s) after the Ulcer, jaundice etc.
What causes Gallstones is a low fat diet, as occasional fatty meals naturally flush out gallstones! ...so everyone losing weight should flush regularly!
I accepted surgery after 4 bouts of Pancreatitis, 2 of Jaundice, and being ill for about a year.

I was not on any diet...I stopped drinking Mtn Dew (sodas), then the a colon cleanser, then stopped taking anti-depressant meds. Within two years, I had lost my 35 pounds.

Before my 1st LF, I did the whole 9-yards of Dr. Clark's preparation...colon cleanser with killing parasites, then kidney flush, then the LF. But, the other 4-5 LFs I did not do the colon cleansing and kidney flush. I am on parasite maintenance (once a week or once every 2 weeks).

A week before I had the ultrasound for my gallbladder, I had the blood works (for kidney, liver, cholesterol, pancreas, anemic) and checked my ulcer and everything is normal.

I have not thrown up since November 2009 (I really do not think it was coffee looking, I believe it was whatever I ate that day), because I found that the heating pad eases the pain and prevent me from getting sick. So everyday, the heating pad is on me.

As for the Epsom salt, I had taken about 8-10 capsules per drink when I did the LF. The Epsom Salt bottle says 22 caps is equal to 1 tablespoon. Now to soften my gallstones, I have taken malic acid, 800 mg/day for 1 month, then stopped, but did not do the Liver-Flush after taking malic acid. I have used no other minerals or herbs.

Either, I need to try a new Liver-Flush or continue my Liver-Flush until I feel better. Maybe, I need to do more like Telman had mentioned. Right now, I am confused as what to do, of course, I would love to keep my gallbladder, but at the same time I can remove it now and be pain-free for the time being.

Next week, I am going to do another LF and then 2 weeks after that. I just hope it works, I am tired of back & shoulder pains.

I hope that I have answered everyones questions and I thank everyone for your input.
