Had good results on my 6th flush. I have Psoriasis and have been on a vegetarian diet without nightshades or milk for a year. I supplement that with milk thistle, lecithin, and b-12. Have done flushes and some oil pulling now and then. My skin is probably 80% clearer than when I started.
I didn't eat anything for breakfast or lunch, only water and tea. Did the Hulda flush. I'm getting a little sick of the oo/grapefruit drink, but brushing the teeth beforehand definitely helped. Anyways, the number of stones was way down from #4 flush (I had just done a parasite cleanse and got lots of liver flukes out, so I think that was the trick), but the size of the stones was large. I had a few 1 inchers and the rest were about the size of raisins. Usually I get more like the peas.
My skin did what is has done each time (except for the 5th flush, which was poorly planned and executed - user error) which is initially get worse, and then start clearing in the afternoon. I have seen in the past that it slowly gets better the two weeks following the flush, so I'm expecting that again.
The one thing I wanted to talk about is Lecithin. The benefit of Lecithin seems to be two fold. First, it helps break up the stones before flushing like apple juice. But the other, almost more important thing, is that it aids in breaking down fat during digestion. Now, tell me if I'm wrong, but Lecithin is basically bile made from soy left overs. It is a fat emulsifier, the same as bile is. So it seems to me that anyone on the Liver Flush group would benefit from Lecithin if their gall bladder isn't up to snuff. Is this true? Would it also be correct to say the reverse: that if your condition improves from taking Lecithin, you need to liver flush. Thoughts?

MoreThis is a reply to # 887,551I'm very confused on your information here about lecithin ... bile from soybeans??
My understanding of lecithin is that it's a plant oil, just like olive oil is a plant oil. It stimulates bile production which breaks down fats in the digestive tract. It's like a mini flush everytime you take it. The lecithin is literally taken into the liver to be distributed to the body ... your brain, the lining of your blood vessels, your nerve sheathes are made of lecithin. Liquid lecithin is a multi-purpose supplement.- Re: 6th flush username10

This is a reply to # 887,744I believe lecithin comes from soy...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecithin. It looks like the are starting to make it from sunflower now too. I'm taking the granular version, it says on the canister - soy lecithin.
The term lecithin is like the term soap. The term is referring to what the substance does, not necessarily what it is made from. Lecithin is a substance that acts as an emulsifier. You can have various forms of lecithin, (like the lecithin in your bile, the powdered lecithin from soy, lecithin from sunflower oil, etc). The point is that it is a substance that emulsifies fats.
The components of bile are:
* Water
* Cholesterol
* Lecithin (a phospholipid)
* Bile pigments (bilirubin & biliverdin)
* Bile salts (sodium glycocholate & sodium taurocholate)
* Bicarbonate ions
taken from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bile
So, lecithin is an emulsifier. That's why its used in all sorts of products, like margarine or snacks, to bind together the fat with everything else. Bile is also an emulsifier. Seems to me like they work in the same way.
Here is the summary of bile taken from Britannica (http://www.answers.com/topic/bile)...
---------
bile
Greenish-yellow liver secretion passed to the gallbladder for concentration, storage, or transport into the duodenum for fat digestion. Bile contains bile acids and salts, cholesterol, and electrolyte chemicals that keep it slightly acidic. In the intestine, products of the acids and salts emulsify fat and reduce its surface tension to prepare it for the action of pancreatic and intestinal fat-splitting enzymes.
--------
Since it is a fat emulsifier, it would make sense that it helps to break up gall stones, as they are usually cholesteral. But more importantly to me, it also makes sense that it helps break down the fat in you digestive tract and make it more easily digestable. Therefore, it acts somewhat as a substitute for bile.
Does this make any sense?

This is a reply to # 887,783One has to be very careful about lecithin because it has a number of different meanings. This means that a number a people can be correct but they are talking about different things.
When lecithin is talked about chemically it is called a phosphatidylcholine it is a polar lipid.
When you but lecithin over the counter, it refers to a natural mixture of neutral and polar lipids of which about 20% is phosphatidylcholine.
Lecithins containing are produced from vegetable, animal and microbial sources, but mainly from vegetable sources. Soybean, which is 20 to 22% phosphatidylcholine is the major plant sources of commercial lecithin.
Egg yolk lecithin is not a major source of lecithin in nutritional supplements. Eggs themselves naturally contain from 68 to 72% phosphatidylcholine.
The make-up of phosphatidylcholine from plant and animal sources are different. Soya lecithin is clearly richer in polyunsaturated fatty acids than egg lecithin.
Phosphatidylcholine is important for normal cellular membrane composition and repair.
Phosphatidylcholine are believed to protect the liver.
Choline comprises about 15% of the weight of phosphatidylcholine. Choline is important for normal cellular membrane composition and repair, normal brain function and normal cardiovascular function.
Lecithin is also present in bile for it chemical properties rather than its nutritional or cell repairing function. Lecithin enables fats, like cholesterol to be dispersed in water and removed from the body, it reduces the melting point of cholesterol 300 F to 180 F. Bile consists of lecithin, cholesterol and bile salts in an exact proportion. Any deviation from this precise chemical mix results in the thickening of bile, sludge and stones etc. - Re: 6th flush plzchuckle

This is a reply to # 887,783from widipedia:
In biology
Nervous and circulatory lecithin is produced by the liver if the diet is adequate. It is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes; without it, they would harden. Phosphatidylcholine is an important component of the mucus layer in the large intestine. This mucus layer forms the mucosal barrier, protecting the large intestine from attacks from colonic commensal bacteria [1]. Patients suffering from ulcerative colitis have a disturbed mucosal barrier and the mucus layers in their large intestines exhibit lower levels of phosphatidylcholine than that of healthy people.
.....
plz note the "is produced by the liver" part. Lecithin is a building block of the human body.
It makes sense to me that a congested liver, one not making the proper amounts of lecithin can be aided by supplementing with lecithin.
I believe in "better choices." I take a fomula that has liquid lecithin which has no additives or processing ... like taking evoo, or taking olive oil granules.
