Re: Is It healthy for my gallbladder, to be on the Atkins protien diet?

OK, I just completed my third cleanse. I wait every three weeks. The first time I did this in 1990, I used extra virgin olive oil from the health food store. Boy, did I get GREAT results. I had stones the size of small grapes - and lots of them. I did not like the taste of the olive oil, so the next five cleanses (over a 10-year period), I used light olive oil. My results were ok, but not like the first time. So, this time, I decided to go back to using extra virgin olive oil (expeller pressed) from the health food store.

Prior to the cleanse, I did two days of apple cider (3/4 gallon per day). Yesterday is the day that I got rid of stones. It was INCREDIBLE!! Lots of small grape sized stones and LOTS of dark green pea sized ones. I am absolutely elated and feel great!!

Oh, and the best part - late in the afternoon, I had a bowel movement that contained lots of tannish-white colored stuff that floated. It covered the entire surface of the water. I am convinced that this was candida yeast. In fact, I am 100% convinced that my candida problem has been caused by a clogged liver. Someone just posed that the body naturally gets rid of candida, but that it cannot if the liver is clogged. I believe this is so true.

So, here are my recommendations: 1. If you suffer from Candida, GET FLUSHING right away! Do it several times. Once is not enough! 2. Use extra virgin olive oil from health food store. 3. Do 2 days of apple cider beforehand.
