The liver flush is over, and I feel better in some strange way. So I collected a few of these bile stones or gall stones, and was curious about what they were and what they are composed of. According to an article at: , these odd looking stones are composed predominantly of calcium bilirubinate and minor amounts of cholesterol or fatty acids. Apparently, cholesterol gallstones form when the cholesterol concentration in bile exceeds the ability of bile to hold cholesterol in solution. That means that if I'm eating too much fat, I not only get fatter, but I'm unable to process it and cholesterol crystals form and via alternating layers of cholesterol crystals and mucoprotein. The
cholesterol crystals themselves are quite soft, but the mucoprotein adds strength to the stone. In theory, microscopic cholesterol crystals would be regularly ejected from the gallbladder if its contractions were effective enough. Thus, my gallbladder is likely not working as effectively as it did in youth, and I need to start doing more Tai Chi Ch'uan, which is a form of energic, internal organ massage, which prevents organ morbidity.

Also, according to Dr. Hulda Clark, cleansing the liver of gallstones dramatically improves digestion, which is the basis of one's wholistic health. I am told that I can expect my allergies to disappear, and also, which is hard to believe, the elimination of shoulder, upper arm, and upper back pain.

Here is her theory of gall stones and liver flushes:

"It is the job of the liver to make bile, 1 to 1.5 quarts in a day! The liver is full of tubes (biliary tubing) that deliver the bile to one large tube (the common bile duct). The gallbladder is attached to the common bile duct and acts as a storage reservoir. Eating fat or protein triggers the gallbladder to squeeze itself empty after about twenty minutes, and the stored bile finishes its trip down the common bile duct to the intestine.

For many persons, including children, the biliary tubing is choked with gallstones. Some develop allergies or hives but some have no symptoms. When the gallbladder is scanned or X-rayed nothing is seen. Typically, they are not in the gallbladder. Not only that, most are too small and not calcified, a prerequisite for visibility on an X-ray. There are over half a dozen varieties of gallstones, most of which have cholesterol crystals in them. They can be black, red, white, green or tan colored. The green ones get their color from being coated with bile. Many have imbedded unidentified objects. Are they fluke remains? Notice how man are shaped like corks with longitudinal grooves below the tops. We can visualize the blocked bile ducts from such shapes. Other stones are composites- made of many smaller ones- showing that they regrouped in the bile ducts some time after the last cleanse.

At the very center of each stone is found a clump of bacteria, according to scientists, suggesting a dead bit of parasite might have started the stone forming.

As the stones grow and become more numerous the back pressure on the liver causes it to make less bile. Imagine the situation if your garden hose had marbles in it. Much less water would flow, which in turn would decrease the ability of the hose to squirt out the marbles. With gallstones, much less cholesterol leaves the body, and cholesterol levels rise.

Gallstones, being porous, can pick up all the bacteria, cysts, viruses and parasites that are passing through the liver. In this way "nests" of infection are formed, forever supplying the body with fresh bacteria. No stomach infection such as ulcers or intestinal bloating can be cured permanently without removing these gallstones from the liver. Thus, it is wise to cleanse your liver twice a year."

Interesting shit, I think!
