Re: Is liver flushing a gimmick?
There are many variations and some don’t use ES at all. One just says squeeze juice from 10 lemons and mix it with 1 cup of olive oil, drink, and take a walk. Another skips the ES completely, but require a pint of olive oil with lemon juice. I think there is leeway here to lesson the ES and increase the olive oil, which is what I plan on doing in the future.
Anyway, I tried it again last night, but skipped the following morning ES. When I did the previous evening ES mixture (at the usual concentration), I became so thirsty again that I had to drink at least 2 liters of water. I'm not sure what all the water has on the procedure, but I certainly have not read that one is supposed to drink a ton of water.
Anyway, late today I did in fact pass some green stones. I fished a couple out and squeezed one, and it felt just like soft soap and flattened out. This next part sound really gross, but I wanted to see if they were actually just congealed olive oil, so (after giving one a good rinse) I bit down on it a little with my front teeth and tasted it with the tip of my tongue to see if it tasted like olive oil. However, it did not! It was move like wax, candle wax. I've heard that
Gallstones are made primarily of cholesterol and that cholesterol is waxy. Well, this was indeed waxy right down to its taste. I'm not completely convinced, but I'm starting to believe. After I do a few more liver-gallbladder flushes, I'll have a sonogram done to see if there's been any change in my GB.
