Shali, I did the liver/gallbladder flush before I had my gallbladder out. My Chiropractor gave me the recipe. On 2/14/00 I passed @ least 40 stones from pinhead size to large grape size. The recipe was throuroughly disgusting but I was desperate! But I continued to be in severe pain so I went to a gastro Dr. & I took several of the stones with me, he wouldn't even look @ them & said you could not pass stones! I had an ultrasound that showed I had no stones in my gallbladder, imagine that! Finally I was given a HIDA scan that came back that my gallbladder was only functioning @ 4%. So after suffering for two months I had my gallbladder removed, but the pain got worse after surgery. I'm not on any pain meds. Drs. a very reluctant to prescribe me anything that works. So I feel like surgery is my only option. Hopefully it will confirm that I have adhesions so my employer will get off my back. They think because I can walk & talk that I can continue to work. Unfortunately I have a high pain tolerance I had my kids without medication, but I would have an epidural if I had to do it all over again!!! Thanks for the suggestion though I really appreciate it. I have the recipe too, if anyone else would like to try it. Happy Mothers Day to All! Rita in AZ --- Shali <Shali9@icdc.com> wrote: > Jennifer -
