Liver Flush and Iodine
I just had the most unproductive liver flush. This makes about the 15th flush for me. I average more than a hundred stones per flush, but this time everything was different. My reaction to the
Epsom Salts (no butt pee), very few stones (perhaps 5). Not that I'm complaining, but was curious since I haven't done a flush for about 5 months. Usually a long absence from flushing will produce quite a bit. I have been taking
Iodine for a month now and wondered if there was some parallel. Forgive me if this is already in the volumes and volumes to text already posted.
Did some searching and came up with the following:
For decades, there has been a discussion, whether thyroid
disorders could cause gallstone disease. Particularly, there
are several explanations for a possible relation between
hypothyroidism and gallstone disease. These explanations
include the known link between thyroid failure and
disturbances of lipid metabolism[1] that may consecutively
lead to a change of the composition of the bile. Recent
studies[2] also demonstrated low bile flow in hypothyroid
subjects. Furthermore, the sphincter of Oddi expresses
thyroid hormone receptors and thyroxine has a direct
prorelaxing effect on the sphincter[3]. Both low bile flow
and sphincter of Oddi dysfunction are regarded as important
functional mechanisms that may promote gallstone
formation[4].
