Not me, I just flushed :^)

I've convinced myself that the green coloration has no relationship to the coloration of the olive oil. It has to be bilirubin. I've proven this by using flaxseed oil in place of extra virgin olive oil for a liver flush.

I have no gallbladder. Not because I ever had gallstones, but because I had the symptoms associated with gallstones. A gastroenterologist performed a gastroscopy and stimulated my gallbladder to excrete bile. I was awake through the procedure and watching on a monitor. He had a difficult time collecting enough bile for analysis, indicating "sluggish" bile flow. The sample tested positive for precipitated crystals and he said I may get relief from having my gallbladder removed. It didn't relieve my symptoms of upper right quadrant discomfort.

Of particular interest to me is the section on "Biliary sludge" and that "Brown pigment stones are soft and greasy, consisting of bilirubinate and fatty acids (Ca palmitate or stearate). They form during infection, inflammation, and parasitic infestation (eg, liver flukes in Asia)."

Also of interest is that "Most Gallstones form within the gallbladder, but brown pigment stones form in the ducts. Gallstones may migrate to the bile duct after cholecystectomy or, particularly in the case of brown pigment stones, develop behind strictures as a result of stasis and infection."

I find this interesting because I also can produce a large number of "stones", all of which are soft and varying incolor from brown to yellow to green. The yellow "stones" usually have a green interior.

Regarding the questionable benefits, and the inconvenience of conducting the flushes while being an athlete, I have my own story about that. for me, it is proof that the Liver Flush provides long term benefits, in spite of the short term setback involved with conducting the flush itself. I posted the information below back in 2002. Within two years after the post, I ran my first marathon and qualified for the Boston Marathon in the process.

Here was my 2002 curezone post:

"In an attempt to improve my health, I took up running after having my gall bladder out nearly five years ago. Each time I run, I measure my distance and pace (minutes/mile) I have settled on 5 miles, 3 to 4 times per week and I run the same course most of the time. Each time I run, I push myself to my physical limit, trying to run faster than I did the time before. Although I have had ups and downs in terms of speed, I have never recorded a shift in speed and energy like that which occurred following the liver flushes.
During the month of August, my average speed was 7:05 per mile. During the month of September my pace dropped to 7:08 per mile. For the first four runs in October, my pace further dropped to 7:27 per mile, and I had to shorten three of the four runs from five down to four miles due to lack of energy. I had contemplated trying a Liver Flush for some time for a number of reasons and decided that this was now the time.

I performed my first Liver Flush on October 4th, and on October 10th, six days later, I ran my five mile course at a 6:31 pace. this was not a course record for me, but given my recent history, this was relatively fast. My pace gradually slipped back to 6:50 per mile and I performed my second flush on October 18th. On October 25th, seven days later, I ran a 6:26 pace slipping back on each subsequent run to 6:42 before performing my third flush on October 31st. On November 4th I ran a 6:28 pace, on the 5th, I ran a course personal record at a 6:22 pace. Two days later on the 7th, I broke my personal record again by running the 5 miles at a 6:20 pace. Once again, in the subsequent days my pace slipped back to 6:45 per mile. I performed my 4th flush on November 14th and on the 18th I broke another personal record by running at a 6:16 pace. On the 20th, I ran at a 6:21 pace. I was so excited with this new energy level that I decided to shorten the two week cycle of flushes. I performed my next flush on November 21st and my pace has now slipped to the 6:30 - 6:45 level. I attribute this to breaking the 2 week flush cycle. My running pace was showing that my liver definitely achieved peak performance about 5-7 days after a flush as long as they were spaced two weeks apart."

Prior to having my gallbladder removed I was diagnosed with Candidiasis, went on a course of Nystatin during which I felt incredibly energized. I had an extreme die-off whereby the skin on my hands and feet peeled off. I crashed shortly after that and was incredibly sick, which led to me having my gallbladder removed. CDSA confirmed I had severe dysbiosis with overgrowths of Candida Parapsilosis, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Staphylococcus Aureus. The Merck Manual also points out "In acute Cholangitis , bile duct obstruction allows bacteria to ascend from the duodenum."

I have little doubt that these bacteria have made their way into my bile ducts leading to "sluggish" bile flow.

Flushes never work. There is no way that drinking oil can cause your gall bladder and liver to empty their contents, dump toxins, and make you feel better. It's a FACT that the only way to feel better is to buy a medicine made by Pfizer, Merck, Lilly, or GlaxoSmithKline. And by drinking eight glasses of fluoridated water a day.
