I use to have really bad pain in my left side, especially after eating fatty foods. I did a gall bladder flush, got two pints of stinky rubbery stuff out that looked kind of like horse apples, only they were about the size of a jack ball. My boyfriend was very skeptical, said it was just olive oil. I put them in a jar and showed them to a friend of ours, who is a doctor, ask him to identify them. He said, "They are gall stones, where did you get them? I've taken out lots of them." I turned to my boyfriend and said, "Told you!" He was pissed. The Doctor said, "They will just come back." He was right. The flush got rid of my pain for seven years, but then it came back, so I flushed again. The next time, the stuff that came out of me looked like green rice. I guess it hadn't been in there long enough to make rubber balls. I think they call the green rice looking stuff sludge. I felt very weak and sick for a couple of day after the second flush, but once I recovered, my gall bladder pain was gone again. I have since done a couple more flushes. I would say that it works. And just because the stones have not yet petrified, doesn't mean they aren't gallstones. The olive oil comes through as liquid.
