Are Detoxes and Cleanses Safe and Effective? http://www.marksdailyapple.com/are-detoxes-and-cleanses-safe-and-effective/#axzz1z7GU3N37 (just to annoy the folks who don't like references)

In short, those regimes are total BS. At least you didn't do one that requires paying out the nose. Stones occasionally appear after this "flush" but when analyzed they're made of fatty acid salts. In other words, olive oil and lemon juice mixed in your body into a soap like substance.

The cleanse will work. I think that you messed up by taking the oil/lemon a little at the time. The method I have used involves drinking the whole potion at one time at 10pm or so after 2 doses of epsoms. The epsoms alone should have you pooping. It is a saline laxative and the Mg will relax the smooth muscles of your ducts. You should have taken 1T if epsoms at 6 and 8, then another 1T when you woke up. When you do everything right you will feel or even hear your gallbladder contract in response to the large dose of oil you have consumed.

Oh, and the stones are not formed in the gut by the mixture of acid and fat. If that was the case the salad dressings would make soap. Soap is formed from fats and bases, like lye. The stones are waxy or hard.

Anyway, the reason that you did not get results is that you did not use enough epsoms and spreading out the oil out over hours. The oil is really a trigger. When a lot of fat hits your stomach at one time it triggers the gallbladder to contract and expel its contents into the stomach. The epsoms is there to relax the ducts and to scoot the bile/poop out of your body before it can be resorbed via the hepatic portal vein and recycled.

Cleanses and flushes are snake oil.

Everything what is told about flushing the gallbladder with olive oil and lemon juice, plus Epson salt is garbage or Bull Shit.People who put videos on YouTube.com or other sites are either naive or have some money interest. What are coming out from the gut, (not from the gallbladder) is pure olive oil (that's why is green color) mixed with juice lemon in shape of small or bigger balls, nothing else. I tried twice, without using Epson salt and I still got a lots of green stones. First time I put all the green "stones" in a plastic container and leave it for a while close to home heater, called calorific.In short period of time all stones disappeared, melting away. Some people took some sample to laboratory for analyze and the result show just that: oil mixed with lemon juice, nothing else from bile composition. In conclusion: Please spread the world about this - to stop lies and stupidity invading our internet life.

It worked for my husband. What he did was slightly different. He drank unfiltered apple juice only before beginning the olive oil and lemon juice, continuing the apple juice between times. Hubby still has spasms on occasion, but no stones (verified by ultrasound). If you weren't having an attack, perhaps you don't have any gallbladder issues that needed to be resolved.

Why on earth? I just don't understand the urge to fix what isn't broken. And once again, CORRELATION DOES NOT EQUAL CAUSATION.

If the Green 'stones' are merely olive oil and lemon made into "soap," then they would appear EVERY time the cleanse was done. In fact, for people who do the cleanse for several months in a row, we notice that the "green" stones cease to appear, when they are gone from the gall bladder. Further, in my experience I have seen MANY other "objects" cleaned out of the liver, such as black pieces, white pieces, parasites, flukes, etc., in addition to the green. After several cleanses in a 4 month period, I had no more green "balls." If they were olive oil and lemon, they would be there every time. My opinion.

Hahaha, this is amusing.
