It does seem weird, doesn't it? I've seen the photos of the liver with a stone in it (looked exactly like my stones!) but I can't imagine that they're all lined up within all the ducts...it seems impossible, so I know what he's saying.
It is clear through analysis (your docs and others) that they're made up of bile and cholesterol and other stuff (not olive oil or made on demand) - but where are they all hiding if not the liver and the gallbladder? Maybe they pile up outside the gallbladder and liver...? I have no idea.
Wish someone knew!
I do believe that the flushes help lots and lots of people, but I agree...it would be nice to know exactly how it all works!
Thanks for telling us about the analysis. That's great!
