Hi William----
I have no experience using those herbs, but you should be able to pass a stone of 1.2cms. There are people in this forum that have passed stones as large as strawberries, and if you look at the photos section, there are stone clusters larger than that. Let us know if you try it, and how it works for you. Best wishes for good health.

Hi, William,

I have personally passed stones larger than 1.2 cm in diameter. Some were "grape-sized". My wife has also passed stones in this size range.

I have passed them both with and without flushes. Without flushes hurt a lot, as I'm sure you've gathered by now. With flushes, the most I felt was tingling while the stones were being pushed out. It was more of a tickle, and certainly nothing like the mind-numbing pain of a full blown gall bladder attack.

As to whether or not the herbs will work and the flush will work... You only get out of it what you put into it. These things have worked for many people. Chinese herbal medicine is pretty amazing. My only advice would be to follow the herbalist's instructions to the letter. Chances are, (s)he's suggested taking lots of the herbs you've been given. With herbs, more is *usually* (but not always...) better. So don't skimp unless you've been advised by your herbalist to skimp.

Good luck!

Hey, I'm for the herbal. Look, I purchased some Gold Coin Grass from Prime Health Products on the web (I'm not a spokesperson for the comapany). I took the dosage for two weeks (the whole bottle). and then did a flush. I have done two thus far passing stones up to 1 inch in size. I am very pleased with the results.
