Gallbladder "Flush" - Gallbladder Message Board

CarlsLuv · 11-02-2005, 06:26 PM

An ultra sound this morning revealed I have one large gallstone and numerous small ones. Doing some researching on the internet for alternatives to surgery, I came across a site describing a Gallbladder Flush using olive oil and lemon juice. I'm curious to know if anyone else has ever used this and how did it work?

I have used a similar one with epsom salt, olive oil and grapefruit juice by H. R. Clark. The first 3-4 times I got plenty (approx. 50) small stones out. Then I started to get bigger ones out, about the size of grapes.

I didn't get any large calcified ones out and wasn't diagnosed with any prior to doing the flush. If you have pain, you could just take the epsom, which should give you some pain relief. This will only be temporary but shuld demonstrate the epsoms ability to relax the bile ducts.

You are welcome. Let me know if you need further info. on this, or if you decide to try it, let us know how it goes.

The only problem with all this is that the ultrasound doesn't tell you how diseased, inflamed or damaged the gallbladder is. And no amount of flushing can reverse the damage already done. If it is still painful after the flush, I urge to have it removed.
It can rupture...as it did for a friend of mine this week.
