used a GB cleanse or other non-surgical method and actually succeeded in clearing the stones safely, without complications?

I ask because my doc doesn't want to give me Actigall for my stones. She also cautioned me that cleanses might cause a stone to lodge in the bile duct, creating a medical emergency for which I'd have to have major surgery rather than the common laparoscopic procedure.

So I'm not sure what to do with this pain in my side.

Input appreciated!

I was afraid to do the cleanse for the very reason your dr stated. How large are the stones?

It's the small ones that can get lodged, so they're dangerous when it comes to the cleanses. And the large ones can't clear anyway.

My experienced opinion: Get rid of it!

Even with my negative experience with infection, I'm glad I got rid of that trouble-maker!

Hey TuTu!

Thanks for the response. I don't know how large the stones are. Glad you're doing better!

I had mine out 6 years ago, I had 60-80 stones, mis diagnosed for years . When I woke up from surgery WOW I was a new person. [Big Grin]

Using the flushes I have gotten stones out up to 1/2" in size. I have passed hundreds of them and also chaff and sludge.

The epsom salt really opens up the bile ducts so they can come through, although it's really good to also do a colema or get a colonic right after to remove any hangers on.

Annette, I'm glad to hear you're doing so much better. Was the improvement more in terms of having better digestion, or was it more of a body-wide change?

Allison, Wow, 1/2" stones - that's impressive. Which "recipe" did you use?

Thanks,

Sue

Hey Sue,

That one was the Hulda Clark recipe for the liver flush (epsom, olive oil, grapefruit juice...). I passed about 6-7 of those big 'uns. Haven't passed any that big since, I think maybe because it was one of my first flushes.
