My Dr. said that they studied people who tried Lithotripsy for gallstones, and 75% of them had gallbladder problems within the 10 years of the study. I just had my gallbladder out after 4 months of doing 7 of Dr. Schultze's cleanses and 7 of Hulda Clark e's, and eating mostly raw foods and juicing every day. It was still full of stones. I know you might have to do the cleanses for a year, but I couldn't stand the pain any more.
