Olive oil is really good for the body since it is an unsaturated fat, and it provides the body with useful fat which actually helps reduce cholesterol. There is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol, HDL and LDL levels, I believe. Olive oil is like the fat in Omega-3 and Flaxseed, which provide essential fats for the body. The olive oil also helps to soften the gallstones.   [End]

Thanks for your reply, and the others. I looked at those links you provided...I don’t doubt that there is bacteria involved with gall stones, anywhere in the body where there is something that doesn’t belong there is a great host for bacteria. I was just wondering about the idea that each stone started with a little bit in the middle, that is hard to prove to me. I DO agree with you that the flush is great and does great things for clearing out the liver, and whatever stones there are there. I am still a little skeptical about people passing literally hundreds or thousands ...

dead bit of parasite might have started the stone.” I hope you will forgive this question from a natural skeptic, but one who has done many flushes, so at least got past my skepticism about that :-) Who did the studies to determine that there is a bit of a parasite or bacteria inside each of the stones?? I must admit that that seems just a bit ”out there” for me, but I am open to learn and would love to be directed to proof of this. Thanks so much!!!!! Claudia L.

Be careful that you are not depleting your body too much doing so very many cleanses one on top of the other. You need time to restore minerals and rebuild between flushes. 8 times in 2 weeks sounds like an awful lot of flushing...be careful...be well. Claudia L.

So then, going back to the ultrasound picture that we looked at some time back that you said looked like your stone...that was described as a cholesterol stone, not calcium...shows that cholesterol can get very hard, I guess. Interesting. Can you send a pic of the stone to claudiameydrech@ccsisp.com ?? Claudia L.
