Re: 26 Flushes Later

The green coloration is bilirubin fom bile. i've substituted flaxseed oil for olive oil, and the green coloration still dominates. The specific gravity of cholesterol which is the crystalline substance in the soft "stones" is less than that of water and therefore floats.

The National Institutes for Health define biliary sludge as follows:

"a mixture of particulate matter and bile that occurs when solutes in bile precipitate. Its composition varies, but cholesterol monohydrate crystals, calcium bilirubinate, and other calcium salts are the most common components."

Also, the Merck Medical Manual for physicians recognizes the existence of soft liver stones as follows:

"Brown pigment stones are soft and greasy, consisting of bilirubinate and fatty acids (Ca palmitate or stearate). They form during infection, inflammation, and parasitic infestation (eg, liver flukes in Asia)."
