Re: Just something to think about ...
We know that primary ingredient of most real Gallstones is bile.
No they are not. The majority of gallstones are formed from cholesterol and calcium. Some are bilirubin and calcium. The cholesterol stones form as excess cholesterol precipitates out in the gallbladder. As the cholesterol sits in the gallbladder it gradually calcifies. In the early stages of calcification they are crumbly, and become hard with further aging. They are not soft and squishy, and do not melt like the pseudo-stones people are passing with the "liver flushes".
But ... if some "stones" are formed overnight inside our intestines then they are not real gallstones.
But, if these "stones" are formed overnight inside our intestines from bile, these stones could still have similar chemical composition to real gallstones.
In the fact that some of the pseudostones are formed from a sterol-cholesterol complex this is the one similarity. Other than that the pseudostones have nothing in common with real gallstones including a different color, texture, density, etc. that real gallstones.
We have seen documents offered as a proof that:
- LF "stones" are real gallstones
No, we have not. We have seen reports of LF stones looking similar. Similar is not the same. Again real gallstones sink, they are crumbly if young and hard if old, they are faceted and they sink. They are not soft and squishy, translucent and float like the LF stones. This is because the LF stones ARE NOT real gallstones, they are primarily saponified olive oil.
As far as the lab report you posted goes, not only does this prove nothing the whole thing looks suspicious. First of all page 1, which would have given the information of the source of the stone is missing. Secondly the grams would show a rather large stone, much larger than could pass though the bile ducts. And note it was collected and analyzed the same day, which means it was most likely collected in the hospital during a gallbladder removal surgery, which is why page 1 that they left out is important.
Secondly, it looks to me like the lab report has been faked. First of all you can see where certain patient information has been whited out. But a lot of information that should be on the lab report such as patient ID, lab ID, requisition #, etc. are all missing and it is clear they were not whited out. In addition the collection was supposedly made in Wisconsin and received in Salt Lake City the same day. What, did they rush the stone to the airport and get it on the first plane out as if it were an emergency to know what kind of stone it is? I seriously doubt it. And even overnight mail means it would not get there until the following day, not the same day as the report claims. Furthermore if you look at the printer type from the top of the report and from the lab report they are from different printers. Looks to me like someone did some creative cut and paste to fake the lab report by using a lab analysis from a real gallstone removed from a surgical procedure and pasting an unrelated lab report to the top.
And if this did come from "liver flushing" then why was there only one stone? People who "liver flush" always report hundreds of "stones". Does anyone want to post a real lab report of the green blobs they passed from "liver flushing" that show that these are real gallstones?
