Hi, thanks for the reply. In my research, even calcified Gallstones CAN be gotten rid of with CONTINUED LONG-TERM intake of taurine and Vitamin C, of course assuming you have the time to do that and are not in repeated acute episodes that could be life-threatening. Do not be foolish with risks to your health, of course! Apparently Gallstones cannot co-existent with constant intake of taurine. Malic acid also can dissolve them. Interesting, did you know that taurine is required to produce bile? Taking taurine improves bile flow and keeps it thin enough to PREVENT stones. Taurine also INCREASES THE PRODUCTION OF CHENODEOXYCHOLIC ACID by 70% percent----chenodeoxycholic acid is a DRUG PRESCRIBED BY DOCTORS FOR GALLSTONES! Why would I take a dangerous drug when taurine can boost the production NATURALLY of the same thing in my body? Taurine has also been with urodeoxycholic acid, the drug that is prescribed for DISSOLVING CHOLESTEROL GALLBLADDER STONES! Vit C BREAKS DOWN cholesterol to bile and also RAISES the NATURAL PRODUCTION of urodeoxycholic acid. Vit C every 1-2 hrs during an acute attack, 1000-2000mg at a time until you reach your tolerance (which is diarrhea), with NAC, can help. NAC can speed BREAKUP of gallstones, proven in lab studies.

As far as my personal ultrasound, I have had 3, as well as one mormal HIDA scan. The gallbladder wall was normal size, no sludge, no stones seen, no dilated ducts, pancreas, liver, spleen and kidneys imaged as normal....three times. Since I have all the symptoms of gallbladder disease, I assusme I either have "sand" or stones too small to be seen or truly have acalculous situation. My last high-definition ulrasound done at a major medical center was two weeks ago.

I will try my supplement protocol and maybe at some point might try a mini daily Liver Flush to see what happens. May the LORD heal all who ask. Know this is a liver forum, so will not post here again!

hanna,
you mentioned taking many different stone breakers, and since I don't want to waste my money, I would really appreciate it if you would list them. There's no doubt there are many remedies out there that are expensive and just don't work!
Thanks in advance,

I think it's important for me to reiterate that I did not have stones, only sludge. It took two years of effort, but I am now free from gallbladder pain and have two clear ultrasounds to prove it. The troubles started around 2012/2013. I've been free of pain for almost three years now.

You are ABSOLETLY CORRECT!!! You MUST consume "good fats" every day or get the gallbladder gets sluggish and stagnated and does not work correctly------just don't eat TRANS-FATS---french fries, chips, cheezes, processed "garbage" foods, fast foods-----eat olive oils and the Mediterranean diet-style-----in fact, LOF-FAT DIETS AND RAPID WEIGHT LOSS ARE A CAUSE OF GALLSTONES! Eat healthy!

Can you tell me where you read this information.
We all wish that it was true, but you have to understand a lot of us have heard these stories before and people try it and we don't hear from them anymore.
I have been working on my calcified 1" stone for 3 years after trying malic acid, chanca piedra for months, phosfood, lemon and peppermint oil, stone crusher, eating an apple every day,gold coin grass, coptis and there was another one, that's all I can think of now.
I have done 47 flushes and my flushes are stone free now and all my gallbladder symptoms are gone. I went back for my ultrasound and my 1" stone is still there, no change in size after doing months of different supplements.

Since you only have gallbladder symptoms and no calcified stones, I had also a thickened wall and inflammation, which is gone from flushing, you might be helped by just taking supplements. The problem is that most symptoms also come from the liver, a lot of people that come here after gallbladder surgery still have to do flushes to get the liver clean because their symptoms come back.
So have my best wishes and let us know in a year if you are symptom free without taking supplements.

The only problem is high doses of Vit C tend to form kidney stones, I have both so I have to be careful ;-)
