Re: Gallbladder cleansing, Lab test& ultrasound

I've had several episodes which what may or may not have been a gallbladder attack.   They weren't severe, just caused some pain and a few hours of lost sleep.   I had an ultrasound where they discovered one gallstone 1.1cm along with sludge.  There was no inflammation of the gallbladder.     I wanted to do the flush but was a bit nervous about it becoming lodged in a duct so instead I completely cleaned up my diet and along with digestive enzymes I was taking(which enabled me to stop taking proton-pump inhibitors after 7 years of them)  my chiropractor/naturalist added some herbal supplements to help break up the stone. 

A year later I had another sonogram and no more evidence of the stone but the sludge remained.   It was then that I felt ready to do the flush.     I followed the instructions according to Hulda Clark with the exception of the second dose of Epsom Salts the morning after the olive oil/grapefruit concoction.    I had no problems with the flush.. no pain, got the olive oil/grapefruit down fine, slept like a rock.)    First morning dose of Epsom salts had me "flowing" again.   I saw some evidence of the oil but I also saw some evidence of what I THINK was the sludge.     I skipped the second morning dose of Epsom Salts because I felt properly cleaned out.   Drank some tea with milk and sugar (my favorite) then began drinking juice, eating fruit and later ate normally.   I felt great!

The morning after and for the next couple of days I heard a lot of squirting and rumbling going on.   I used a warm heating pad and very light massage on the area of my gallbladder and could feel it continuing to squirt.  It's been almost a week and I feel amazing.     I didnt' realize it but there must have been a heaviness to my congested gallbladder because now I feel a lightness that I didn't have before.   Also, the tenderness in the area under my right rib is gone.

I guess it remains to be seen what happens now and I almost wish I could go back for another sonogram right away to see if the sludge is in fact gone.   I think it is!

Whether the flush did get rid of my sludge, I think it did somehow improve my gallbladder health.  I'm sure the good colon cleansing induced by the Epsom Salts didn't hurt either but I'm sure that the gallbladder tenderness was helped by the flush.   I will continue taking the supplements (Milk Thistle, Ginger, Cinnamon, etc.) to hopefully continue to thin the bile and to hopefully continue to feel as good as I do now.

Good luck to anyone considering the flush but I would suggest you do it safely.    I didn't and wouldn't try the flush if I knew I had really large stones (I'd be too afraid of winding up in the ER to get the surgery that I was trying to avoid).
