Quoted from Dr. John McDougall: Excreted cholesterol enters the gallbladder and thereby contributes to the production of gallstones. (90% of Gallstones are made of cholesterol) Excessive amounts of cholesterol in the lower intestines are believed to be involved in the development of colon cancer. Vegetable oils will cause cholesterol to be eliminated from the body , lowering our risk of heart disease. Unfortunately, however, because this cholesterol is excreted through the gallbladder and into the colon, your risks of developing gallbladder disease and colon cancer are increased the more cholesterol you excrete. Thus, a change to a no-cholesterol diet is not only the most effective, but the safest way to lower your cholesterol level.
My comment: This must be why the olive oil flushes out the stones, because he states vegetable oils will cause cholesterol to be eliminated from the body.
From the Book: "Mad Cowboy"
"Cholesterol: 3.5 oz. serving
Beef : 85 mg. cholesterol
Chicken (white meat,skinned) : 85 mg. cholesterol
Pork: 90 mg. cholesterol
Trout: 73 mg. cholesterol
Turkey: 82 mg. cholesterol
There are simply NO low-cholesterol flesh foods, and there are NO plant foods with ANY cholesterol"
My friend who is a vegan told me to read "Mad Cowboy" to help me with my transition to a vegetarian diet.
You will be sickened after reading "Mad Cowboy" which talks about the meat industry, specifically Beef. (but chicken and fish as well)

MoreThis is a reply to # 597,554It is simply untrue that all flesh proteins are high in cholesterol. For accurate information on cholesterol, check out the USDA's informative, searchable database detailing the nutrient content of many foods:
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl
The American Heart Association recommends a daily cholesterol intake of less than 300 mg. Following this guideline, it is still possible to include flesh proteins daily. Just read your labels!
Best of health to everyone,

This is a reply to # 597,554Good article, but I don't understand this:
"Thus, a change to a no-cholesterol diet is not only the most effective, but the safest way to lower your cholesterol level."
80% of the cholesterol in our system is produced by the liver, the rest comes from what we eat. Excess carbs get converted immediately into fat, which requires the liver to manufacture lots of cholesterol. Vegetarians often have cholesterol levels commensurate to non-vegetarians.
I'm not a no-carb person, but do feel that excessive simple carb consumption is the main culprit for high cholesterol. Avoiding white foods (white rice, pasta, white flour, potatoes, sugar), has kept both my weight and cholesterol levels down.- Exactly (nt) Lapis 21 y 2,850

This is a reply to # 597,564I am a firm believer that if I look at the sky and it's blue, then I will argue with those that tells me it's not blue.
My brother went on the atkins diet and lost 30 pounds in four weeks. When he went to the doctor, his cholesterol was tested and the doctor told him the cholesterol pills were working great because his cholesterol was down to 205 (from over 300) My brother informed him that when he started the diet, he quit the pills. His cholesterol went down around 100 points eating fatty meats.
Now I believe the Atkin's diet is extreme and should not be used for long period of time. I personally believe that cholesterol is from bad carbs like bread, wheat and Sugar that he accidentally gave up while giving up all carbs.- Wow...amazing! n/p Tracey

This is a reply to # 597,554As always, I guess you can't always trust books, internet posts, or whatever. I am sorry if my post confused anyone.
I got this information from books and it seems to be contradictive.
I know I myself have lowered my cholesterol through liver flushes, but not lowered enough. My friend who is a vegetarian go her cholesterol to 135 total by changing to vegetarianism.

This is a reply to # 597,575Another study, published in the 1983 journal Experientia, investigated the effect of Pectin and Cellulose in the ability to actually dissolve stones in test animals. The results indicated that cellulose (found in crisp fruits and vegetables) is able to "slightly" decrease the rate of gallstone formation. Cellulose was not, however, able to reduce the size of pre-established gall stones. Pectin (found mainly in apples) has a greater effect in stopping gallstone formation and of great interest, was found to DISSOLVE pre-established stones as well!!!

Eat your veggies and fruit!
I have personally completed 9 flushes and starting to transition to a raw vegan diet.
