http://surgeonsblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/flush.html?m=1Let's start with a gentle statement of fact: OF ALL THE BOGUS, DISHONEST, DISINGENUOUS AND STUPID BULL**** THAT MASQUERADES AS ALTERNATIVE MEDICAL METHODOLOGY, "GALLBLADDER FLUSH" IS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST. THE PURVEYORS OF IT ARE, AT BEST, CREDULOUS; AT WORST, THEY ARE CHARLATANS AND (LITERAL) SNAKE-OIL SALESMEN WHO WILLFULLY DECEIVE AND STEAL FROM THE SICK AND THE VULNERABLE, AND ARE TO BE COUNTED AMONG THE SCUM OF THE EARTH.23

Plagiarism is not cool, dude, even if it is a woo-site.
Had to go read what it was - wow that sound horrid! Why would anyone do that to themselves?
I'd rather prepare for a colonoscopy.
I agree - I had to do colonoscopy prep twice in one week and I'd rather do that again than that liver cleanse.2 -
Good no just no how does this to them self there's no point and good I be seek for a week1

Is this a cruel joke? I really hope no one listens to any of what the OP said. Gallstones are in your gallbladder if you are so unlucky to have them in the first place and your liver doesn't do over 500 things. Name 50 please or even 20?4

It makes me sad that anyone would think this was a good idea3

Liver flushes and juice cleanses. It's been another typical Friday on MFP.
Isn't it Saturday? Don't get me wrong. I'm thankful for this thread. It isn't often that so many people agree on something. This thread has at least been uniting in a way that a round of Kumbaya wouldn't have been.4 -

It's makes me sad that there are charlatans out there selling people lies like this liver flush just to make a buck.6 -

@nutmegoreo My bad. It is Saturday. I have brain fog. Time for some alkalizing lemon water.
I'll forgive you, but only because I know you haven't juice cleansed in a while. You are probably full of sludge.Christine_72 wrote: »

It makes me sad that so many people have no idea just what their organs do or how things work.7 -

Yes ...
I'd suggest people take an anatomy class or something similar at their local college before they spend a cent on a "cleanse".3 -

Ugh. And it says may take at least 6 cleanses!
I'm going back to the Alli thread. At least there are some funny/scary anecdotes in there.8 -

When I had my stones my doctor never mentioned any liver flush. There was flushing involved as a result of the medication to help me pass them (sorry to be gross). If I hadn't passed them with the meds surgery would have likely been the next option.0 -

Here too! Happy Sunday.0 -
It is mindblowing, the kind of rot that people put in a book and make money from.4

In the UK you can buy milk thistle from Holland and Barrett. Its supposed to help cleanse the liver. Never used it though.0

Hey OP.
I've read up on some natural gall stone remedies myself and thought they looked interesting. (Considering trying one myself!) The ones I saw were all using common household ingredients (for all the critical responses here about "wasting your money") and risk factors were low. In my experience with natural health remedies, they are best used when you arent in serious condition (great for preventative or mild cases) so give that consideration if you are going to do it. If you end up trying it, I'd love to hear how it goes for you! Otherwise - don't let some of these negative posts discourage you. I've found that this community only likes ideas THEY come up with. And people here fancy themselves experts because they are excellent at regurgitating information that someone else told them instead of doing research with an open mind.0
