Hi All,
I just wanted to report that all has gone really well with the second Cleanse. I had several short pains Sunday evening and though I might have left something that was ready to come out now. I decided to repeat the cleanse since there were several who had reported they have done it.

I used the apple juice during Monday and Tuesday as before but I hadn't gone back to a complete normal diet yet so I didn't think I needed three days with it again. I used the ES twice last night then the oliveoil/lemon juice mixed. I took it at about midnight because of not getting everything else started earlier. I did follow the scheduled times, just changed the hours to make it work.

With much antipication this morning I drank another glass of ES to await the unfolding events to follow. The first BM wasn't exciting but did produce many 1/8th inch pieces of gravel and a couple of larger pieces that this time were green inside. The second Bm produced the largest stone yet which was about 2/3rd the size of a golf ball and not exactly round along with about 25 to 30 that were from 3/8th to 5/8ths chunks. All were coaded but inside they were dark green. The third and so far last BM produces about 50 to 60 of the medium sized and too many grain sized to count. Almost all being the green but coated with the rusty tan like crust. There was a probably a cup full or more of the flakes this time which I didn't see on the first flush.

I am a little weak from not eating since a week ago Monday but I am feeling much better and I think this has given me enough hope that I will call the surgeon tomorrow to let him know to put the scalpel up for the time being and that I am going to continue to try this until I am gallstone free and scalpel free as well. I am sure he will be excited for me too, but that is the way it goes.

Thank you all for the encouragement you have given and for sharing your experiences so that others might be encouraged as well. God has many gifts for us if we ask, this is no doubt for me that He has answered my prayers. God's blessing to you all, keep sharing everything He is doing for you. I will keep you posted when I start again in about two weeks.

In Christ,
Charles Hilton
