Glaxony and I have had an ongoing debate over his "liver flushes" on another board that I did not expect to go on so long. And it is not fair to be taking up so much time and space on the other person's board so I am moving Glaxony's latest responses here to address if he wants to keep this up:

"Not really sure why you would know that. I guess it is just another one of those made up "facts" the "liver flush" supporters are so famous for.."
Why do you think I would make up the fact that when I woke up in the middle of the night and shat rubber balls they smelled like ten million year old dinosaur farts and I thought to myself "better out than in!" and brag about it? That is totally insane.
The second flush I did seven years later smelled pretty bad, but nothing like the first one. Since then I have been flushing regularly and while the sludge certainly doesn't smell good, it doesn't stink like it used to.
The main thing I am concerned about is that my pancreas has begun to hurt a little in the last year. And if routine and regular flushing is causing this, then need to know what else I need do and hopefully I will never need to flush again.

Yes, I agree bragging about it is insane. Especially since you are the only one in the world that thinks they know what 10 million year old dinosaur farts smell like. Hint: If they are that old they would have been dissipated 10 million years ago and thus would not have a smell.
The second flush I did seven years later smelled pretty bad, but nothing like the first one. Since then I have been flushing regularly and while the sludge certainly doesn't smell good, it doesn't stink like it used to.
The smell all depends a lot on what bacteria are present, in what levels and what they are reacting with. The smell is not always going to be the same.
The main thing I am concerned about is that my pancreas has begun to hurt a little in the last year. And if routine and regular flushing is causing this, then need to know what else I need do and hopefully I will never need to flush again.
What makes you think it is your pancreas that is hurting? How do you know it is not your stomach, which is in the same area? Have you had any lab tests done to see if there is any possible problems with your pancreas to make sure that is the problem and not something else?
About time i heard you back on this forum with a debate to boot!
I check in here once in a while. But I have been spending most of my spare time working on my cancer book. It is taking a lot longer to write than I expected because it takes a long time to read through all the medical journal articles. But I am exposing a lot of the common cancer myths like cancer not surviving in a highly alkaline environment or a high oxygen atmosphere, etc. Therefore, I want to make sure all the things I am pointing out is backed heavily with evidence since as we have seen so many times here on Curezone people do not respond well to having their false beliefs challenged. So they go through stages kind of like the stages of grief. In this case the stages are:
1. Denial. They will keep denying the facts no matter how much evidence is presented to the contrary.
2. Misinformation. Next they try to counter my arguments by making unsubstantiated claims, providing unsubstantiated "testimonials" as evidence, providing debunked sites as "evidence" and making reference to unrelated cases to try and throw people off.
3.. Distortion. They will claim I said things I never said trying to make me look like I am contradicting myself.
4. Lies and other personal attacks. When they realize that they have nothing to provide as evidence and that what they have provided has been proven bogus they have nothing left to respond with. Since they have nothing to prove their claims they feel foolish for falling for the scam. But of course nobody likes to be made out to be a fool so they angry and lash out against the person who exposed the scam. They make up stories such as the exposer is a spoiled rich kid, or the exposer is rude to everyone or gives faulty advice, etc. They will also provide other forms of attack. For example, claiming how many sites the person was banned from without giving the facts as to why. Such as being banned for pointing out safety issues, questioning the efficacy of a claim, pointing out errors in a moderator's claims and providing evidence contrary to what a moderator wishes to believe. They idea is to make the person out to look like a monster even though they are only helping people.
5. Post lies and personal attacks against the exposer in an attempt to get the exposer to fight back. By attacking the person exposing the myths they try to get the person to respond back to the attacks hoping for an escalation or for the person to lose their temper and fight back. Then they try to make the person fighting back against the lies and attacks out to be the bad guy.
6. The pack attack. The trolls are too scared to be the lone wolf of the attack so they get their troll buddies to join it. For example, I had a moderator of the Cancer Support forum start a debate with me. But he kept falsely accusing me of starting it. So I repeatedly shoed the original posts proving that he started it showing he clearly was a liar. Since he was being exposed as a liar and no way to cover up the fact his only option was to run me off. So he sent out PMs to a number of other posters requesting that they join in on his personal attacks against me since there is strength in numbers. When his lies and attacks failed I was banned from the forum as a last resort.
The other tactic the pack uses is to hit the exposer with a barrage of attacks to try and run them off from a particular forum or from Curezone itself. In fact if you look at the attacks on other people with these tactics you will see that the attacks were orchestrated by the same exact troll pack that has repeatedly orchestrated attacks against me to get me off of Curezone.
If the person fights back then they use those posts to ask moderators or the Webmaster to ban the person from the forum or Curezone even though they were blatantly violating TOS.
7. Acceptance. When they finally realize that they cannot counter the evidence against their claims and their other troll tactics did not work then they quietly slink back under their bridge since they realize that more attacks will only result in more evidence against their bogus claims.
Good to hear you response HV, with informed knowledge and research, as per typical of your style (thank God!). Have missed your posts. And i agree doctors are incredibly incompetent beings. I'm a living example of that. Doctors are what put me on thyroxine for my thyroid which weakened my already weak endocrine system (mainly adrenals) and then put me on cortisol which completely disrupted my body's endocrine system to a level now so complex that I ended up bed riddened.
Yes, both of the drugs will shut down the glands they are substituting for.
I now only use doctors for testing, i wouldn't go for treatment ever again. And not only because of my experience but the tonnes of people I know who've been made either sicker or worse died due to their lack of knowledge of the complexity of the human body and their apathy. Doctors in general, only isolate their concern to one failing organ when the body is so much more comprehensive and complex. It's a massive interlinked system. Science is about knowledge and knowledge is power. And thanks to HV, i've slowly begun to work out how my body really works and began nourishing my body so that it can start to heal, which is slowly working. We aren't dumb, if only doctors respected that. And in a world made up of incompetent doctors we NEED TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE if we want to survive.
Agreed, which is why people need to learn as much as they can about how their body's work. They also need to research the therapies they are advised whether allopathic or alternative. There is a lot of proven quackery in alternative medicine as well such as "liver flushing", "oleander soup", high dose iodine, a lot of alkalinizing therapies, etc. And a lot of over hyped issues such as "systemic Candida", mercury poisoning from amalgams, parasites, etc. If people would actually research these subjects from credible, non-sales sites, they would see what I mean.
HV, you are the only one who seems to have always provided a comprehensive logical and well researched answer to our questions,especially in relation to physiology, no matter how silly and naive they may sound. I thought this is what doctors were meant to do? seriously since when do doctors have or want to give extensive answers to a patient's request for information??? It would show up their lack of knowledge. Keep the healthy debate going, we learn from it, especially if the debate is starring HV!
Yes, I agree with your statements about debate. Debate is taking a stance and providing evidence to back that stance. Therefore, debate stimulates the presentation of evidence so people can see the real facts. Unfortunately debate is not really allowed on Curezone even in the debate forums. I was banned on some debate forums for simply providing evidence against some protocols on those forums as well. This is why Curezone has become such a poor source of health information. The only information that is allowed to be presented on most forums is information that the moderator of that forum agrees with even if that protocol has been proven bogus. People are not allowed to question those protocols, and worse yet are not allowed to point out safety issues without being banned for doing so. Therefore, the only defense people have is to do their own independent research outside of Curezone where all the facts can be seen instead of only what you are allowed to see.

I never said this, at least live bacteria.
You have repeatedly stated that the balls you passed were round and rubbery, not hard and faceted like real gallstones. Those round, "rubbery" balls you keep describing over and over are saponified olive oil formed in the intestines from the "liver flushes". As the oil congeals it traps intestinal bacteria thus causing the smell you describe.
The only bacteria that would be present in real gallstones would have been trapped during the formation, but would be dead and thus not creating any smell. Just like how bacteria form gold nuggets, but they do not make the gold nuggets smell.
How could one cup of room temperature olive oil that I drank, turn into two and a half cups of hard rubber balls in my body, when my body temperature is much warmer than room temperature?

How could one cup of room temperature olive oil that I drank, turn into two and a half cups of hard rubber balls in my body, when my body temperature is much warmer than room temperature?
Simple, the oil does not congeal on its own. It is turned in to those "rubber balls" through a process known as saponification. This requires other components. In this case bile making up a large part of these soap stones. Also note that these soap stones are not as dense as the oil nor the bile so this also causes them to take up more volume.
Also keep in mind that the volume you state is much more than a normal gallbladder can hold. Which is more proof that those rubber balls did not come from the gallbladder. Especially when we consider the fact that it takes years for gallstones to grow yet you keep passing volumes of these rubber balls more frequently that that. So again, the only real explanation is that they were formed in the intestines as part of the "liver flush". Especially when they do not have the color, texture, shape or hardness of real gallstones.
And where did the yellow liquid floating in the toilet around them come from?
Unless you have that yellow liquid analyzed there is no telling what it even is. Have it tested by your doctor friend's lab and get back to me on what it is.
You have said over and over that I put them in the freezer so they wouldn't melt. Why did M tell me to put them in the freezer if they don't melt?

Maybe M did not realize the fact either that real gallstones will not melt at slightly higher temperatures. Again, people have posted that these so called "stones" melted in the sun. Real gallstones will not do that.
In fact, if you check the melting point of real gallstones it is around 300F. That is much hotter than room temperature and even body temperature and nearly 3 times as hot as our hottest days in summer and I live in a desert.
So once again, why do you have to freeze these "rubber balls" if they are real gallstones? The answer is simple, they are not gallstones. They are saponified oil that melts at a considerably lower temperature.

But M said they would eventually completely disintegrate if you didn't keep then in the refrigerator. And it didn't seem like a good idea to keep disease in the fridge with food, not even sealed.

If you would learn to read we could save a lot of time. I did not call Annie a "he". I was referring to you. Go back and read the post, I was talking about the person who was referring to these blobs as "rubbery balls". That is you. Annie never said anything about this. I know you are desperately trying to win this debate by any means possible, but when you keep making up things like this you waste both your time and my time. It also makes you look less credible.
In retrospect I would like see what might grow out of those stones and regret throwing them away.
Hey, you pass them pretty much every time you do a "flush" So do one again and actually get them analyzed this time. That will prove once and for all that they are not real gallstones.
But M said they would eventually completely disintegrate if you didn't keep then in the refrigerator. And it didn't seem like a good idea to keep disease in the fridge with food, not even sealed.
And real gallstones would not disintegrate. So you are providing even more solid evidence that they were not real gallstones.

I did not call your doctor friend a liar. Doctors make mistakes all the time, mainly because most of them are highly incompetent. I could give you numerous examples of doctor incompetence I personally witnessed. Again, this is why I have not been to a doctor in 31 years. I did not go when I had a 107F fever with the measles. I did not go when I was bit by the brown recluse. I did not go when I got side swiped by a van while riding my bicycle. I did not go when I fell on the fence and lacerated my liver........ Doctors, especially in this state scare me due to their low knowledge of how the body works and their very high degree of incompetence.
For example, the fact that your doctor friend was not aware that real gallstones are not round and rubbery says a lot. And he removes gallbladders for a living? I wonder how many unnecessary operations to remove gallbladders has he done?!!!

Should I go back and pull up all your posts where you also admit that it takes years for real gallstones to grow? Seems like now you are trying to back peddle on those claims since you have lost every other argument so far and need a new angle.
it seems like your argument is similar to "an acorn isn't a tree"
and i would agree
I don't see how. An acorn is simply a seed that may or may not grow in to a tree. But the tree, like gallstones, is slow to grow. And like the acorn is not the tree, the sludge is not the gallstone. To be called a stone the material must be of a certain size. And as they grow real gallstones calcify, so they are not rubbery but rather hard. And their grinding against each other makes them faceted, not round as you described yours.
Of course you have mentioned cutting your "rubbery balls" of saponified oil open and seeing rings. This would indicate that they were of significant size. This if they were real gallstones they would have been hard and faceted and not round and rubbery.
all people have to do is get a sonogram and make sure they don't have a
ROCK before flushing and you have no problem with it???
Spud did that then did the "liver flush". She still passed the same rubbery balls. Why? Because they are saponified oil formed in the intestines, not real gallstones.

Then would you get off everyone's case?
Again I ask, why is it the "liver flush" supporters are so scared to have the facts presented to people? If they really had evidence that what they were passing were real gallstones then they would be presenting it everywhere they can find. This is not happening though. Why? Because "liver flushing" is a scam.
Am I going to keep reporting on this scam? Definitely. So those who are willing to listen to the real evidence can choose for themselves what to believe and if they really want to get in to poop picking as a spare time hobby.
I am surprised that so many people fall for this scam anyway. I mean think about it. Anyone knowing much of anything about the body will realize that the ingestion of oil contracts the gallbladder, not the liver. Therefore, if anything it should be called a gallbladder flush. So these people are taking advice from someone who came up with this garbage who did not even know the difference between the liver and the gallbladder!
Even the fact that people are claiming to pass stones larger than the maximum diameter of the ducts, or in volumes hundreds of times larger in volume than the gallbladder itself should tell people something. But it seems like some people won't take the time to stop and think about it or at least use some simple common sense. Someone claims they passed gallstones the size of a golf ball and people fall for it even though it is impossible. These are the same type of people who also believe they won the Nigerian Lottery.

The reason some people don't get them and other people do is because of genetics
I am not getting stones. I am getting sludge.
Why do your stories keep changing every time your claims are exposed? Sludge is not the same as stones. Sludge is like tiny particles of sand. Yet you clearly said several times that you cut these "rubbery balls" open and saw layers. So how can you determine if sludge consists of "rubbery balls" being the grains are so tiny? You can't. How can you cut them open? You can't. How can you see layers in something the size of a grain of sand or smaller? You can't. Making up stories is not helping your arguments at all.
In fact, another contradiction also comes from one of your earlier posts:
"MINE DID NOT MELT. THEY HARDENED IN MY BODY AND INTERFERED WITH MY DIGESTION. THEY WERE PRE-CALCIFIED. FORTUNATELY I GOT THEM OUT BEFORE THEY HAD TIME TO TURN INTO ROCKS, OR I MIGHT HAVE ENDED UP AT THE HOSPITAL NEEDING AN OPERATION."
If they take 75 years to harden in to rocks as you claim then what was your worry? Unless you had them all your life, which would not be the case you would have to be close to 90 years old to have to be worrying about gallstones according to your claims. After all they have to harden in to rocks to lodge in the ducts.
It doesn't turn into a stone until you leave it in there for 75 years to petrify. If you only leave it in for 49 years, it only turns into hard rubber balls.
LOL!!! Neither of these are true. A real gallstone only takes a few years to grow and calcify. In fact, I provided proof against your claim just a few days ago in my post:
Do you realize how old someone has to be before they stones get hard and solidify into soft balls? First of all the stones do not harden in to "soft balls". That whole statement is a contradiction. Secondly, the physical age of the person has nothing to do with it. Real gallstones get larger and harden with time, not get bigger and soft and squishy. Real calcified stones can happen in younger people as well. Again they just take several years to grow to any appreciable size, which is why it is impossible for those large globs people are passing every few days or weekly to be real gallstones. To show you what I mean about a person's physical age having nothing to do with it I am posting some case studies for you. Note this first case is in a 20 year old women who has been dealing with real gallstones for 2 years. As we can see gallstones are not strictly an elderly issue: http://bestpractice.bmj.com/best-practice/monograph/78/diagnosis/case-history... Also note that in this case the stone had lodged in the bile duct. This occurs with larger, hard gallstones. Not with sludge or tiny, squishy gravel. Another case in a 39 year old male: http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/3527908?uid=3739824&uid=2129&ui... In a 7 1/2 year old child: http://www.jpgmonline.com/article.asp?issn=0022-3859;year=1987;volume=33;issu... And this does not make them extremely common either. Real gallstones are somewhat common, but larger stones the size of a quarter or larger are really not that common. Yet these people passing what they think are gallstones are passing these blobs sometimes every few days. As both of us agree though real gallstones CANNOT grow this fast, which is even more solid proof that the blobs are saponified olive oil, not real gallstones. This is what I cannot understand. Your own claims are proof that what people are passing are not real gallstones, yet you keep insisting that they are. For example, once again as real gallstones slowly grow they calcify making them hard. So real gallstones of any significant size will be hard as a rock, not soft and rubbery. Granted gallstones are less likely in children, still they can occur in people from young to old. So they do not take many decades to grow as you are claiming.

If they were real gallstones, which are calcified then damage to the gallbladder is a possibility. Soap stones formed in the intestines from the "liver flush" do not hurt the gallbladder though.
And they are extremely painful. And you cannot eat a french fry without getting really bad indigestion.
Not quite. This is why you need to find credible sources of information.
The reason some people don't get them and other people do is because of genetics
Again not true. Many things can bring on gallstones including being overweight, hormones and sudden weight loss to name a few. These are not genetic factors. Again, you need to start finding credible sources of information.
