Andy, I have a family trait (death genes) called type 4 hyperlipidemia. My mother passed this trait onto me. She died in 1994 and had numerous surgeries for clogged arteries in her neck, heart, abdomen, and legs over a number of years. My cholesterol was found to be 425, TG 600's without medications in 1990 and I have been on lipitor, zocar and other statin medications since then trying to stave off the heart disease and the such. I quit the lipitor in June of this year due to liver pain and started flushing every 2-4 weeks since then. I just did number six and am getting out an average of 100 stones a flush. I would estimate if you put all of my stones so far into a disposable cereal bowl it would be overflowing. (See some of my pics in the Image Gallery under liver stones ). I had my gallbladder out last year. It was totally non functioning. I just had some lab work this past week and am awaiting the results of the cholesterol panel and liver panel. I am hoping to prove to myself and the doctor that the liver cleanse work to lower total cholesterol and TG's. I will post results when I get them. Good luck to you. At least you have more knowledge than I did 15 years ago. Cleanse your liver. It will make everything so much better.

See my previous postings regarding this matter. I just got results from my labs from last week. I had done 5 flushes since June. My total cholesterol was 252 and TG were 197. I also had not been on cholesterol lowering meds since June. I am so happy today. It proves flushing does work to lower cholesterol.
