people on Iodine for a while have reported no stones with subsequent liver flushes. i think you are correct. milk thistle is good support for the liver. you may want to try stimulating a flush from the backdoor so to speak. the coffee enema can do that. i had a spontaneous flush/green stones with an Iodine enema i did early on in my supplementation. i am about to do a coffee enema tonight to cap off my day of sun and 350mg of Lugols in coconut oil all over my body. i also oil pulled twice today.
