Re: I passed liver "stones" with coffee enema--oh well skeptics!
These are two completely different processes.
Show me that they are two different processes .
Gee, I have to do all your homework for you.
Cholesterol works as a repairing device to help heal abrasions or envelope foreign objects throughout the body, particularly when collagen is deficient. Why would it not also apply in the gall bladder. Why would it distinguish between an abrased artery or a malfunctioning gallbladder filled with stagnated bile or parasite infestation? Cholesterol is produced in the liver,why would it exclude the adjacent gallbladder?
Gallstones have nothing to do with injury to the gallbladder. The stones form as the bile becomes supersaturated with cholesterol synthesized by the liver. When the bile can no longer hold the cholesterol from the supersaturation the excess cholesterol precipitates out forming sludge then eventually gallstones. Estrogen and progesterone also play a role in this by the fact that the estrogen stimulates the release of cholesterol in to the bile while progesterone being a smooth muscle relaxant prevents the proper expulsion of the bile causing to to become stagnant and allowing it to further saturate with cholesterol.
So how is this like the formation of arteriosclerosis? Please be detailed, I am sure there are a lot of people here that could use a good laugh.
