That is the most thorugh answer I could have asked for. Many thanks, Telman. One thing: about the flax seed, do you think it would be better if it were crushed rather than left whole? My own thinking is that crushing it would be better, but the R. Stone method doesn't say this.
It has occurred to me that bile (ie, salts) production is dependent not just one thing; rather, many or at least several nutrients would be required. If you are seriously malnourished I can't see how just olive oil, for example, could do the job.
