Re: Liver?
Well, Joylovepeace,
I passed a dandy big gallstone on salads with olive oil and citrus dressing. It taook a number of months before the event, and happened entirely by surprise...no pain, though I could feel it scooting along the bile duct.
Immediately after, I could feel more scooting, but didn't notice what, if anything, passed.
At this time I felt three distinct 'stones' drop in my liver, 2 large and 1 smaller. I had thought they went into my gallbladder, but soon realized, from twinges, they were somewhere in the bottom of my liver.
There they stayed, for months, slowly building pressure at times, until I began to seek rhythmic activity to 'settle' them.
By then I knew I had to 'flush' them, somehow. Especially as I was contemplating a Humaworm parasite cleanse, and knew that liver stress was not desirable.
So, I made the tea described here...

I drank it over about a week's time, usually sticking to about one and half cups per day. After drinking the whole recipe in one day, my stones began to move the next day.
That hurt! It caused me to gasp and cry out, over several days...always when I was working in the kitchen, but it wasn't intolerable pain. I learned to sit down when these twinges happened, and they would stop. If I fell asleep sitting up, I would awaken and find that particular twinge was now over, and the twinging would begin in another spot. A different kind of 'heaviness' began in the gallbladder with each stone that dropped...4 or 5 in all...the last being far in the back of my liver, almost against the ribs in the way it felt.
It seemed to happen over about a week or 10 days in total, during which time I drank at least one and a half cups of the tea daily.
I stopped the tea when it seemed there would be no further activity from it. The stones remained in my gallbladder.
Then I did the month of Humaworm.
A week or so after that, I began to notice tiny twinges that the stones were on the move in the ducts. Once, I was almost certain that one had passed. I don't know for sure.
I can tell that bile flow is certainly slow, from the color and form of the stool. This has been helped, but not solved, by adding prunes, beets, and other good things to the diet.
A few days ago I started the tea again, even drinking the whole batch on one day. (It is mild and pleasant to drink.)
I feel the tiny twinges of locations of the stones in the ducts, daily. But they move slower than molasses in January!
This time I took the tea for only two or three days, stopping for the holidays.
I'm beginning to think I'll need dynamite, or strenuous exercise sessions, or something dramatic to get these beggars out!
That's my experience, Joylovepeace.
Thank goodness Frank had a better experience than mine.
I didn't read that he had pain, but he did have nausea, if I read him correctly.
I suspect that my bile is thicker, and slower moving than most peoples'.
Someone said that beet juice, or raw beets thin the bile. I had mine cooked, which helped in the bathroom, but may not have helped in the liver/gallbladder.
I'll try again, and keep at it until it's over!
Wish I could tell you the method is a quick fix. It was, however, a great way to get the stones out of the liver, where they had been lodged for far too long.
Maybe I have a funny gallbladder, I don't know.
Good luck!
