Threat of rupture: Can taurine help to protect?
I have the exact same feelings as you after being warned of the threat of
rupture of the GB. However judging from your post, it seems you have
acute cholecystitis, not the chronic kind. How many attacks have you had
and over what time period. I will be doing the 3 week GB cleanse
described at:

but will continue to take Chinese herbs, taurine and turmeric supplements
during this period. Taurine not only dissolves gallstones. It has also
been shown to prevent aneurism in the heart and may work in a similar
way to prevent rupture in the gallbladder, which is a muscle too.
I stand solidly by everyone in this forum going through the same nightmare, with no
one to turn to except doctors who only know how to remove a defective vital
organ and don't care a hoot about learning how to repair it.
