Hi gallgirl. You will probably need to do a series of flushes to get the stones out of your gallbladder (did the surgeon tell you how big they are?). The first step in flushing is to uncongest your liver. When you do your first flush, you will probably release a large quantity of waxy green stones - these are solidified bile stones congesting your liver and preventing it from functioning properly. These same stones are also in the gallbladder but it seems that if they are in there for a long time, they calcify into the hard stones that show up on ultrasound (and are hard buggers to get out!!).

There have been a few people who have released their calcified stones through Liver Flushing and had the ultrasound etc to prove it. But in the year that I've been reading this site, they aren't many.

BUT Liver Flushing will RADICALLY improve your symptoms to the point that you will probably decide you don't need the operation. I had my first GB attack over ten years ago and was told that I'd be back begging for my GB to be removed within 2 years. Well I didn't. I've had mini attacks since then but never as bad - and always less when I flush. I've only ever done 2 flushes at a time. Now I've embarked on a series in my endeavour to get my calcified stones out. Probably most of the people who haven't yet been diagnosed with Gallstones have Gallstones but they are 'silent'. If I can't get mine out, then I will aim for "silent" stones!! My health was totally transformed by Liver Flushing ten years ago.

There have been some studies that link gallbladder removal to increased risk of colon cancer (yes every thing causes cancer these days but we may as well minimise the risk!). The gallbladder is there for a reason, do whatever you can to save it. If you DO decide to have it out, then please please do the liver flushing anyway - your liver will have to work harder without its little mate there acting as a reservoir.

So, the long and the short of it is..... start flushing!!

ps. To "just_me" - Dusan says raddish juice is supposed to help dissolve the calcified stones. I've started adding them to my juices - the more remedies the merrier is my motto at the moment!!

hey rainbow! how you doing? im too am flushing this weekend. i hope its successful. ive been taking chinese bitters for 3 - 4 weeks so i hope i get rid of some calcified stones :) hope you have a good flush :)

I am going to do the flush but I have to wait til Saturday night to do it. Hulda Clark protocol.

Prior to the flush I am going to do a saltwater cleanse tonight and a detox bath every night (I just quit smoking 3 days ago), and then starting tomorrow I am going to do P&B stuff until morning of. I'm just kind of making it up as I go along, but that's interesting about the radishes. I'll have to use them when I juice!

Blessings to ALL flushers!

P.S. I'm doing all this stuff to keep my mind off of smoking and so I don't chew my own toes off from the withdrawal!

Hi Rainbow,
When you did those flushes, did anything come out (I'm assuming it did of course, but you know details always help). I asked my doctor today about the flush and he said it's BS. Then he told me that stones DO actually come out through the bowels. I may wait on the flush to see an acupuncturist. I'm not sure what she can do to help the process, but I'll see. Thanks for the support, all!
