Thank you. I’ve experienced the same. I personally feel it must be more than just an olive oil ball. I don’t use lemon or juice…on the last day it’s only Epsom salt and oil. Last month no green balls… this month a bunch. Either way I feel great, less bloated and no pain.

The link to the gallbladder flush instructions are still available in the article for anyone who wants to use it. It was replaced with protocols that have time tested evidence of efficacy and safety, not because of pressure from mainstream medicine. Some people do like this type of flush, but there’s also more risk (and reports of) injury. In the end everyone has to do what they feel comfortable with based on the available evidence 🙂

Fernanda, hope many read your comments!
I agree with you. Giving an enema is “the most effective and easiest thing to do.”

Exact words I’ve told many moms over the years.

Carol A, believe you meant to say “taught.” Instead of “thought.”
Hope you didn’t mind me telling this.

As a home nurse, doing part time work for a local naturopathic doctor (guess they are still around – – unless big pharma ran all of them out by now ), I gave many enemas in the home.

Many times the mom didn’t know the child was constipated.

I also taught moms to prepare and give enemas.

As far a liver detoxification, read what Mama has on this article.

The coffee enema is a great for detoxing the liver.

You can use a french press or tea pot. The water is brought to a boil, then the herbs are steeped for 15 minutes.

Fernanda, agree with you! I also, after getting enemas for years, believe the enema is the most effective and easiest.
Growing up enemas were common in our home. And given often. Seemed like my aunt (nurse in the 60s) believed in giving one for most anything.
While I wasn’t overly happy knowing was going to get one from her when younger, I now know getting the enema was far better than pills, harsh laxatives, castor oil .

Thanks for telling to use filtered water heated a few degrees above body temp.

Many these days have no knowledge of enemas. I try to teach as many as I can about the benefits of the enema.

At times I think the plain water is easier to prepare than the coffee enema.

A few weeks ago I assisted,, thought the enema to a neighbor. Her 10 yo b was constipated. She told me giving him a laxative before caused cramping.

He took the enema very well. Given with the bulb syringe.

Check with your doctor before giving an enema.

Susan M, thanks for your comment.
Yes colonics can be expensive.

Glad you told of the home enemas. Many today are not aware of the benefits of the enema.

I get a coffee enema or other enemas in my home often.
I also give non coffee enemas to my two. B 7 and b9. Give enemas once a month. If colds, flu, fevers are present then an enema is given more often.

Every home should have an enema bag (or bucket) and enema bulb syringe. And used often.

When I was called to do a home visit by the holistic doctor I worked part time for, an enema was usually given on every visit.

I gave many coffee enemas in the home as well as other enemas.

Some moms would tell me their child was not constipated. After giving him an enema, or enemas, it was always amazing how he was backed up.
More amazing how much better he felt after the enemas were given.

A few visits an enema was given to the mom and then later to the child.

Always check with your doctor before giving an enema.
Don’t be surprised if told a laxative or pill is better than the enema!!

Blessings

It was difficult to find credible evidence based sources for that protocol and there were reports of side effects ranging from nausea and vomiting to pancreatitis (which is deadly) and gallbladder failure. You can find a more detailed explanation in the article above. If someone wants to do that type of gallbladder cleanse there is a link to the original recipe and instructions.

Malic acid is the main chemical in apples that is responsible for busting up the gallstones. One can find malic acid easily from wine making supply stores. Best of luck ?

Thank you for your website and all the time and energy that you have invested in it. It is much appreciated.

In regard to the above-mentioned cleanse, which seems close to Andreas Moritz’s protocol, I have used it systematically for a number of years. As someone that has gone through chemotherapy, I was concerned about the residual chemicals in my body and so I have actively practised various detoxification methods including the formula mentioned in the article. I’m also an experiential learner and so I tend to try things to verify what the so-called experts tell us from their lab results, which are often completely disconnected from the reality of the human body.

So I share my experience regarding the Andreas Moritz protocol. I think it important to share it because it seems to contradict the soap-making hypothesis.

I followed Moritz’s liver cleanse protocol for ten months and I stopped, as per the protocol, when no more stones were coming out. At the beginning of the cleanse, stones may not come out during the first couple of cleanses but through the continual repetition of the cleansing process for the months that follow. This was my experience. So the question it raises for me is if I’m repeating a protocol on a monthly basis and ingesting the same liquids, why would I only have ‘soap stones’ in the middle of the cleanse and not at the beginning and end?

Furthermore, once the initial series of cleanses is completed, it is recommended to do a cleanse every six months. The last time I did it, I did it for three consecutive months without a single stone. If the stones were soap, then what I would expect to happen is that stones would come out each time you do the cleanse, which was not the case for me.

I hope this is helpful for your readers.

I did an effective gallbladder flush. HAVE ULTRASOUND 1ST TO DETERMINE IF FLUSH IS SAFE (size of the stones matters!) I had bilary sludge/ small stones that caused Pain & nausea. For 5 days, I ate only fruits & vegetables plus apple juice. On the 6th day, I had olive oil & lemon juice with a heating pad on right side… layed on my right side. When bowels ran clear, I heard what sounded like 2 coins falling into the bowl. I was so nauseous that I flushed the toilet & didn’t think to look at what came out. The next ultrasound was clear. The surgeon said keep doing what you’re doing. My naturopath said NO EPSOLM SALTS in the flush (Bad for kidneys) I avoided surgery. Flushes are listed all over the internet. There also good gallbladder formulas by Dr
Christopher & Nature’s Sunshine for prevention & treatment. Having a naturopath gives you comfort that yes, these things can work. But again, ultrasound 1st. Pass it on.

Hi!!! I went to the ER back in 7/22 and they found gallstones. My biggest one was 14mm (1.4cm) is it too risky to do the flush? Are my stones too big or is it still ok? Would be curious to know if any of you had large stones and still tried the flush?

Even if you had insurance, why would you remove your gall bladder

Carla,

I’m sorry you were feeling so pressured to get your gallbladder removed. I am feeling pressured to just have surgery too by my Mom who’s a registered nurse and my doctor… But as I’m researching my options I came across this article that explains what the gallbladder does and how and why gallstones form and what to do if you’ve had your gallbladder removed. I know you posted awhile ago, but I hope this information helps you…

“What about a diet for those who have had their gall bladder removed? The conventional advice is to go on an extreme, lowfat diet. But your body still needs good fats, and still produces bile to digest them. Even without your gall bladder, you should still eat healthy animal fats and avoid processed vegetable oils.

The gall bladder is a rhythmical organ and secrets bile at certain times of the day–ideally at meal times. When you have a gall bladder, you always have bile salts stored and so do not necessarily have to eat at set times of the day. For those who have had their gall bladder removed, it is important to eat meals in a rhythmical fashion–three meals per day at approximately the same time each day, and with no snacks in between. In order to enhance the sense of rhythm and supplement the supply of bile, I prescribe Cholacol, the Standard Process bile salts formulation, 1 tablet with each meal. Swedish bitters, 1/2 teaspoon mixed with a little water, taken just before each meal may also be helpful.

In order to provide ample protection for your colon (from cancer), be sure to take cod liver oil and other foods rich in vitamin D. Avoid all processed and grilled meats and any foods containing carcinogenic substances that could supplement the irritating properties of bile secreted into the intestines.”
