Re: a friend with gallstones - help!

The Barefoot Herbalist recommends Lecithin. Although I do not follow his protocol, one tablespoon of liquid lecithin in one tablespoon of olive oil daily, I do take 1-2 tablespoons of lecithin granules everyday. When I liver flushed last week I did not pass any whole stones, just broken pieces of waxy green material and lot of bile. Since I have been flushing for years and just maintenance flush now, I can't say if my results were from the lecithin or not, but I do believe the product is good.

Here are some suggestions from something my Naturopath gave me, I have not tried these.
Chamomile tea has dissolved Gallstones in as little as 24 hours.
Lemon juice can stimulate, purge and empty the gallbladder according to one doctor who suggests three tablespoons of undiluted unsweetened lemon juice, 15-30 minutes before breakfast everyday for a week.
Use the juice of grapes, carrots or beets with small additions of dandelion and radish juice for inflamed gallbladders.
A diet of nothing but grapes, grape juice and skinless white chicken meat will help combat liver disorders and stimulate bile flow.
Plain boiled beet leaves will help clear the bile duct of clogging debris.
Apples and apple juice will help dissolve Gallstones and urinary tract gravel.
