Re: "When science cannot be questioned..." REPOST
I have tried the "liver flushes", several times, simply because I wanted to know for myself what the results would be, and if this protocol could provide any benefits to health and well being.
I know the dangers of possibly lodging a real gallstone in the duct, so I had scans and blood tests, to make sure I did not have gallstones, before I tried this experiment. I knew then that I would not be endangering my health.
After trying the
Liver Flush several times, I did indeed have the greenish blobs pass out. Knowing that I did not have any gallstones, I knew that this is not what these blobs were.
I did not feel better after flushing, because I did not have stagnant bile that needed expelling. I do believe that people doing these flushes, that do have stagnant bile, or bile sludge, do feel better, and do benefit from this protocol.
A good scientist always knows that any theory can change, as more knowledge is gained.
Science is not a religion, and is always subject to change. We can only know what we observe, and what is repeatable, upon experimentation. If new information becomes available, it can be investigated, tested, and judged to be proven, (to the level of knowledge at the time), or not. This is precisely why I decided to try the "liver flushes" for myself.
People can make anything into a religion, even liver flushing, where they think they have found "the truth", and will not accept any information that contradicts their truth. We see this in every areas of life, not just in areas of medicine and health.
I believe that people should have access to all information, particularly information relating to protocols, that could be harmful to some. It is up to the person, when fully informed of all aspects and information, to decide for themselves whether they wish to proceed. It is immoral, and frankly disgusting, to push a protocol, without providing all available information. Including information that does not agree with the theory of the protocol.
All
Science should be questioned, all theories should be tested, and all information and results, taken into consideration, before anyone embarks on a course of treatment. People who have contradictory results should not be ignored, told they are doing it wrong, or simply written off as being biased. This is making a religion out of a protocol, when questioning and contradictory results are treated with derision.
Liver Flushing is no exception.
