What we are trying to explain to you is that stones, in order to leave the gallbladder and to be successfully removed, have to be SO small that it actually would be difficult to see them. I've been looking at my anatomy book and trying to see if I can explain to you how SMALL the duct is. This is the best that I can do. If you look at your inner elbow where you have that nice fat juicy artery running down... If you can't see it so well, put some pressure on your upper arm for a bit so it pops out... you know, like druggies and doctors do to get a " good vein " . Now I want you to look at it, a really GOOD look and note the size of your vein. First of all imagine marble size, or even HALF the size of a marble coming out of that vein... Can you picture it... Now imagine, a bunch of water/flushing behind it... you're STILL not going to get that marble sized stone or even half that size out of there are you? Now, think of the stone being small enough to fit through that vein... pretty small right? Well, it would STILL be too big to fit through the bile duct... AND while bile from the liver can flow into the gallbladder, nothing else can. Not stones, salts anything. The opening is just TOO small... I hope that explains it a little better. K Cheers!

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 The epsom salt dilates the ducts. But against my better judgement I am still trying to talk the skeptics into the fact that what I have gotten out is really gallstones and pre-stone sludge. So let the skeptics believe who they will and go ahead and bash the flush and keep their gallstones until they let the doctor remove their gallbadder... and I will keep flushing. :-) Over and out on this thread...Diana Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at HotJobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
