Those damn doctors! They're like most people...closed minded. A healthy questioning is good, however! I, too, wondered where the oil went...there are quite a few posts referring to this exact question back a couple pages. Blueduck got a golfball sized stone out! I got a whole bunch of tan/gold coloured ones (crusty on the outside) that were about 8 or 9mm big....their insides were bright green. If you look at the Images section of the 'intraheptic stones' in the liver that was taken out...that was what my stones looked like exactly! I was excited to see my exact golden meteorite sitting in that real liver in a little duct! (that's good proof!) Plus, many people do the flush and don't get ANYTHING out! Where does the olive oil go then? Also, there are a couple of people that have posted here that have described 'malt ball-like' stones...that are all dry and porous inside! Definitely not olive oil. You'll just have to try it! See what you think...and see how you feel! It is sooooo cool that we can do this for ourselves! ...and thank you CureZone for bringing this to our attention!
