Hi Ninja,

What great results from your first cleanse! WOW!

I wanted to comment to your post because I passed 4 stones (in one cleanse) that were about 1cm across. It did not hurt a bit. I have done seven Liver Cleanses and each one had different results.

I do feel that you need to continue doing Liver Cleanses every two weeks for a little while. I would also drink freshly juiced granny smith apple juice since that is supposed to soften the stones.

I believe that your symptoms became worse after a week because you still have stones in there. It would be very rare to get all out in one flush. As has been explained before on here, when you remove stones, it allows other stones to roll forward (like marbles on a track). By removing stones with your first flush, you have allowed more to come forward that also need to be removed.

Please don't feel foolish for trying this. You are doing a good thing for your body. I would not presume to second guess your doctor, but surgery may not be necessary. I also think that this is a good thing to do if you are trying to get pregnant. You would like to be as clean as you can before you get pregnant. You sure don't want to have an attack and be pregnant. And you also need your gall bladder, regardless of what a doctor might tell you.

I can not tell you about a sonogram because I did not even know that I had stones until I did my first cleanse. I did not have any gall bladder attacks or any reason to think that I even had gall stones. I was just inspired to cleanse my liver. I did not know how to do that and that is when I stumbled upon this site back in January.

Good luck,
Tisha

I passed one stone that was 2.5 cm diameter, it was hard like a rock and though I could feel how it traveled from my gallbladder area downwards it did not hurt at all. I took a photo but haven't had it developed yet.

Hi Ninja,

Take some time to read more posts on this forum. You will discover that MANY ppl have reported passing stones larger--much much larger--than you have on your ultrasound. I'm no doctor, and I can't prove this works, other than to tell you that so many ppl are saying they have had great results.

There are some reports as well of ppl who had an ultrasound, found stones, did the liver cleanse, and then had NO stones on a subsequent ultrasound.

Also, you DID pass a lot of stones! A thousand! Wow! I passed only 215 my first time. So, just think, now there is THAT much more room in your gallbladder to contract-which means another cleanse could expel even more stones, possibly even the ones showing up on your ultrasound.

The more empty the gallbladder, the more forcefully it will be able to contract, as well (this is my common sense, not from a medical book). Imagine that you have a rubber bulb, filled with marbles. Try to squeeze it. Can't do it very much, or very hard, can you? Now empty out half the marbles. You'll be able to squeeze it harder, and more marbles can come out because they have more room.

My armchair medicinal theories...but it makes sense. Ppl have success with this. YOU have had success with this. It can take many cleanses to get rid of the stones formed there. It may have taken years for them to form...be patient and give your body a chance to heal naturally.

Hope this helps. We're rooting for you!

PS, my friend and I are doing a liver cleanse tonight. My second, her first. Good luck to you!

I took gold coin grass before flushing as it breaks down the large stones. This might help you.

The largest stone I ever passed was about 3x5 cm, irregular shape. I felt it, though no pain. I took the picture with my webcam, so if your e-mail me, I'll reply with attachment.
I could recommend to brake stones before cleansing. Take hot water bottle and warm up the area between solar plexus and to the right above lower ribs. After about 1 hour; do some bending exercises. here is effective one:
"windmill"
-stand with your legs open wide, feet parallel, arms horizontally in line with the shoulders.
-bend forward keeping your back straight and arms alined.
-start rotations around waist trying to touch inner feet with your fingers.
-keep going for 1-2 minutes.

regular sauna or hot bath warms up the body and helps to crack stones; activities such as jogging or aerobics will brake them apart.
