Hey twistoffate, since I'm the only one who seems to be here right now I thought I would at least try to answer one question for you and leave the other one for ML or someone else that has been helped with liver/gallbladder/kidney stones. You sound like you have already read the testimonials, if not you can find them here. Just scroll on down to see all of them.
Of course everyone normally starts out with the same amounts to have a starting point. Most people have no problems with the normal protocol but it is truly up to you to decide how many glasses or how many baths would be good for you. It takes time to get a feel for what is right. Play it by ear for a while by doing 1 drink a day and see how you do. If everything seems fine, then do 2 drinks a day. The same with your baths. Try doing one of the baths and see how you do. If you don't feel very tire after doing one, try another one a day or two later. Some people like doing one everyday in the beginning and some need to do one or twice a week. You will have to be the judge.
Make sure you do searches in this forum on information to help yourself learn and if the question does not show up for you, please ask and I'm sure someone will be more than happy to try and answer.
This is a life maintance protocol. Once you feel well, you may only do a drink every other day and a bath once a week. It depends on how good of quality (high brix) foods you can find to eat and how well you can clear your mind of negative thoughts and think of lovely things instead. Very healing.
You can do this, just like many of us have done. It takes a positive attitude, knowing that this is where you are suppose to be to learn the Truth about healing. Glad you are here. :)
