Hello mandy:


Congratulations on the success that you have had with your flushes. I think
that reports like yours encourage others to use the flushing techniques that
are reported on this list.

"Since July 2001 I have done 6 flushes and have flushed over 4000 stones, not
counting those little bitty ones that are the new ones made from all that
olive oil you drink for the flush."



I have now done 16 flushes and I have always used olive oil. I followed the
same routine for preparations each time up until #15, and always used either
1/2 or 3/4 cup of olive oil along with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. Am
not sure which ones you are referring to as the "...little bitty ones.." but
my experience has been that not all of my flushes produced them, and some
flushes produced next to nothing in the way of any stone or chaff output. I
have had as few as 4 or 5 pea sized stones with nothing else being produced.
For my personal experience, I don't think that the small green ones are "the
oil." My feeling is that were it the oil, then they would come out each and
every time I flush. Also, for flush #15 (after 2 or 3 flushes close to
zero), I upped the ante and consumed 2 cups of olive oil, and for that
particular flush, produced a minimal amount of the small green ones (but
loads of waxy material with an uncounted number of imbedded pea sized
stones). You have cleaned out a tremendous amount of stones, yet I think you
have cleaned out even more than you give yourself credit for.
