Ten years ago,I purchased a book,"Are You Stoned" from Le Book Publishing Co in Plano TX,tel 972-596-0299 that described the non-surgical method of removing gallstones. I did the procedure 6 times,saving the great majority in a Mason jar and storing it in the Freezer of my refrigerator where they would NOT dissolve. I did that so that I would know how many I removed. The answer was 8 ozs,a glassful.
I did it as a preventive measure. I had never had any prior problems.Everyone should seriusly consider doing it. I stopped after 6 times because the results were only insignificant gravel. The method is simple and far less complicated than may others that i have read about since.
