Re: Detoxing

  yah i think "liver flush" is kind of a misnomer, i mean all that oil/fats is stimulating cck i think which causes the gallbladder to aggressively pump/dump out bile and as a consequence of that i think the liver then has to make more (bile) and so the gallbladder stores it again. So in a way it can be a kind of bilary tree/gall bladder cleanse

Yes, the "liver flushes" using olive oil magnesium and a citric acid source do not cleanse the liver.  The oil will help contract the gallbladder, which reduces bile stagnation.  

The big squishy blobs people are mistaking for gallstones are really blobs of saponified oil as analysis has shown several times.  These are formed in the intestines as a reaction between the "liver flush" ingredients and bile.  This is why these blobs do not have the texture, color, density or much of anything else in common with real gallstones.

If real gallstones are present though, the ingestion of a large amount of oil can cause a real gallstone to lodge in a bile duct leading to problems such as pancreatitis, which can require emergency surgery.  If people want to prevent bile stagnation there are safer ways to do this such as ingesting small amounts of fats with meals and avoiding progesterone supplementation.
