Re: Do Oil/Lemon cleanses CREATE Stones!?!

I posed this question to one of my chemist friends, listing only the ingredients eg MgSO4 (ES), acetic acid (grapefruit), HCl (stomach acid), water, oil. I did not tell him what and the why of the protocol and asked what would happen and the reactivity of it all, etc.

His reply is that because of the lipid (oil) and the salt soln (MgSO4 and HCl breaks down into Mg-2, (SO4)-2, H-, Cl-, as free salt ions in soln), micelles would form. Micelles are to my understanding of his explanation "fat globules" that clump together. I asked if they would form "stone like clumps" and his reply was "possibly" but not hard ones.

So in my opinion, I think there may be some possibility but not to any large extent. Given the number of popping sensations I experienced with only the ES drink, I would say minimal. Tweet
