It appeared that many people were more interested in eliminating stones and stone counting rather than looking at why they were formed in the first place. It dawned on me that a strategy that would change one’s biochemistry to produce less stones and a regular maintenance schedule of liver flushes to rid the body of excessive stones was a more intelligent strategy.I looked into factors that may lead or increase the formation of stones and sought to focus on this rather than get anal about releasing and counting stones.Some factors associated with ones diet are obvious.The excess acidity can contribute to increased formation of gull/liver stones. Equally important is following a alkaline/Acid rebalancing diet if you really concerned about minimizing or preventing stone formation rather than just discharging current stones. Using liver flushes may help you discharge old stones but it certainly won’t keep you from forming new ones and the foods you eat(which relate to excess acidity and lack of alkanizing minerals), and your lifestyle will all have an impact at the rate that you produce new stones.A gallbladder cleanse — also called a gallbladder flush — is a popular alternative remedy for ridding the body of gallstones. However, there is no reliable evidence that a gallbladder cleanse is useful in preventing or treating gallstones or any other disease.In most cases, a gallbladder cleanse involves eating or drinking a combination of olive oil, herbs and some type of fruit juice over several days. Proponents claim that gallbladder cleansing helps break up gallstones and stimulates the gallbladder to release them in stool.Although olive oil can act as a laxative, there’s no evidence that it is an effective treatment for gallstones. People who try gallbladder cleansing may see what looks like gallstones in their stool the next day. But what they are really seeing is globs of oil, juice and other materials — not the remnants of gallstones. Gallbladder cleansing is not without risk. Some people have nausea, vomiting and diarrhea during the flushing or cleansing period. Individual components of the herbal mixtures used in a gallbladder cleanse may present their own health hazards.
