Well, that raises one of the very questions I've been thinking about
lately.


Could it have made it worse?

If the gallbladder is a
storage pouch for the bile and the gallbladder is contracting but
blocked by a stone - how could the introduction of the oil make
things any worse? I'm genuinely asking the question because I
really want to thoroughly understand the whole process.

The gallbladder, from what I've read, holds about a cup of bile. The
liver is constantly producing bile and dripping it into the
gallbladder, but it isn't like there would all of a sudden be a huge
amount of bile flushing INTO the gallbladder. During an attack it's
all about the bile going OUT of the gallbladder. If the oil causes
the gallbladder to contract when it is dormant, then what would it do
when the gallbladder is already contracting? If another element of
the oil is that it lubricates, then it would seem that the
introduction of oil would be a good thing for the bile ducts when the
gallbladder is already contracting and would aid in the removal of
the stone that's in the way.


It's just a theory. Obviously last night it worked for me and I'm
rid of two dozen more stones this morning as a result. But whether
that was by luck or logic - remains to be seen!
