A month ago I found this site and decided it was a better alternative to gallbladder surgery. I waited till summer so school would be out. I went back to the site, but noticed the Gold Coin Grass that was there before to soften the stones was no longer there. Is there a reason for this or did I miss it? Is this safe to take? Is there an alternative to help soften the stones so they don't get stuck? I am currently doing the Paragone in preparation for the gallbladder/liver flush, but I want to plan ahead to have all the ingredients ready for the flush. I also have not found a health food store that carries GCG. They sent me to a Chinese Herbal drug store who would not sell me any without an appt. with a Chinese Dr. which I do not want. Any help out there?
