IMO, I highly doubt it, and I feel the risk is so small as to be no risk at all.
> The key things if you are going to do the flush, are to properly do the three day apple juice fast(fresh juice is best) and not to do the flush while any stones are already in a blocked state. (You will know this is the case, if you cannot tolerate any fats at all and you're pretty much constant pain.) Do *not* do the flush if this is the case. Try fasting on fresh apple juice and taking "Stone Free", sometimes these two things alone can help significantly.
Although fasting beforehand may be of benefit, I followed Dr. Clark's cleanse...she does not recommend a 3 day apple juice fast.
Also, I did my first liver cleanse because, after GB surgery, I had a stone "stuck" in the common bile duct, which the liver cleanse flushed out, giving me immediate relief! IMO, there is no danger in doing a flush if there are stones "in a blocked state." Just the opposite, for the liver cleanse will clear the ducts of the offending stones.
Joey,
I didn't respond before, because I'd already posted to you that I thought it was safe for you to do a liver cleanse.
