Um, I've been on GCG for 2 years, of course I know Julia Chang. She's helped me all the way through this process. Yes, I've done an apple juice fast. I'm hypoglycemic and it just made me sick as a dog. I've also drank apple juice and eaten lot's of apples. I've been posting on CureZone for the past two years and I've done all suggestions. I've bowel cleansed, I've liver cleansed, I've parasite cleansed etc. etc. etc.

Sometimes, I believe, that is just not enough. I feel like my GB has basically failed. It's not doing anythiing any more except being sick, and it's making the rest of me sick with it. All the cleansing in the world doesn't seem to be bringing it back to life. Everything I've done has postponed the inevitable. I never got better doing all this stuff. I just got worse more slowly.

I've done the drastic lifestyle change, and it has made a difference. I had high cholesterol and some bad numbers and it's all cleared up. In fact, the last time I saw a Dr., he said I had some of the best numbers he'd ever seen. I am really healthy except for that chronic pain under my right breast that just keeps getting worse.

I did 7 flushes, once a month for 7 months. No improvement in symptoms. So, I gave up. They took so much out of me, left me wiped out for 4-5 days, I just couldn't see how keeping them up when they didn't make a difference was profitable. Yes, I bowel cleansed before the flushes. Yes, I took GCG and drank apple juice before the flushes. Yes, I got lots of tan stones. But I never *felt* better.

I think it's posssible that all the flushing in the world won't fix a genetically crappy GB. All my aunts have had to have them out between the ages of 40-43. I'm 40.

When I started I did not know about GCG etc or bowelcleansing for that matter.
I just jumped in flushing every 2 weeks, I knew I had a calcified stone. In the beginning I felt sick, like a sinus infection, very painful. Eventually it got better. After a few months the gallbladder symptoms started disappearing. I had pain left high and low, right low, never at the gallbladder area. Acid reflux, aches and pains.
My flushes were not the greatest in comparison what I was reading here.
After a year I had an ultrasound done. The gallbladderwall had gotten back to normal from 42 mm to 3 mm, the inflammation was gone. BUT the gallstone (28mm) was still there, only not any longer in the neck, it was now free floating, so the bile could move again. After that I tried every softener in the book. Started using Oxypowder , did 2 kidney cleanses, never parasite. After the 2nd year another US, stone is still there, they say now 24mm, I don't know how precise these measurements are. Since I know people live with Gallstones I am not that concerned since I am symptom free.
I try to follow Andreas Moritz suggestions, eat partly according to my bodytype.
He calls my stone a sleeper stone, so I don't know if he ever is going to wake up :) I am still flushing because I want to see what is going to happen, I feel I am free from all the green stones.
When you are surrounded by all people that had surgery and who are doing well, you are probably more open minded to surgery. I feel the opposite.
I did notice what a few flushes you had done, most people start with every 2 weeks and if they don't feel well sometimes put an extra one in between.
My health is good, I am off 5-6 prescription drugs. Allergies gone. I feel better without 3 anti-depressant than when I used them. So I can only say it is up to you.

Great article. Interesting points. Allergies and food sensitivities produce a lot of unexpected symptoms I am finding during my research into candida control. I suppose anything to do with digestion or toxin elimination can be affected.

Thanks, that was very helpful. I already know about pork and dairy, I eliminated them a while ago.

Bethdogg,

#34998 is right. Your pain may be from intestinal irritation from toxic, acidic bile.
It took me 13 Flushes to really get the biggies out, and I almost gave up myself, as I got no results during my 7th and 8th.

I think you're giving up to soon...
But, of course, listen to your intuition...
Cheers.
