Use or not epsom?
I am very confused. Epsom is supposed to relax the gallbladder and bile ducts. But i have read in a few sites that :magnesium sulfate(
Epsom Salts )TAKEN ORALLY CONTRACTS gallbladder due to release of cholecystokinin (and relaxes the sphincter of ODDI).
That means all our effort to save bile in the gallbladder and then drink olive-oil at 10:00pm would be a waste, because there will not be enough bile to expell stones (i still have 3 calcified stones 15mm confirmed by ultrasound, though have done about 35 flushes!).The epsom would have drained the gallbladder! Is that true?
Please answer me.

From a site:
""The contraction of the gallbladder mainly mediated by CCK after oral administration of pharmacological doses of magnesium sulfate is familiar...!""
As determined by this human bioassay method, magnesium is a weak stimulant to cholecystokinin release...
Cholelithiasis: Zhao et al., 1979 (138) 522:74Group comparison:
Electric acupuncture plus oral magnesium sulfate (in the test group)
------Oral magnesium sulfate (in the control group).
Results:
Stones were excreted in: • 409/522 (78.4%) in the test group • 20/74 (27.4%) in the control group!!
