Dangerous quack ACT Gallbladder and liver "flushes" are widely advocated as a way of treating gallstones and helping with medical conditions ranging from allergies to cancer [1-4]. In the usual “flush,” half a cup or more of a vegetable oil is consumed together with citrus juice and Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate), usually after a brief fast. Many green, brown, yellow or black blobs of various sizes may later appear in the bowel movements. Some bear a slight resemblance to gallstones, but they are not stones. They are merely bile-stained "soaps" produced by partial saponification (soap formation) of the oil.People experience cramping, diarrhea, sweating, nausea, or general sickness and exclaim after they complete the “liver flush” they feel SO much better and have rid themselves of those nasty 100 to 200 gallstones they believe they have in their gallbladder…. all without any proof they have any gallstones in the first place, and the fact that what they see in the toilet is actually just saponified oil (oil coagulated with the citrus/apple juice) because the body cannot digest that much oil at one time and must get rid of it. If you’ve tried the liver flush yourself and checked out the end result, notice how those “gallstones” are green (like your olive oil), shiny (like oil) and melt when slightly warmed (like oil is normally a liquid at room temperature and less viscous when heated)… You might also see some white rock like things which would be if you drank a mixture that included epsom salts. So please spread the word and don’t let your loved ones try this dangerous cleanse!
