Big stone not dissolving!!! Need advice please?

Well Ultrasound revealed one large stone in Jan of 2.8 cm. I declined surgery. I started taking Gold Coin Grass, Curcuma, and Coptis (Chineese herbs) along with lots of apple juice and low fat diet. And castor oil packs 4 days a week for an hour.

I have never had an attack but for almost a year now I have had an uncomfortable feeling under my rib cage. It's like the big stone is lettting me know its there. Just short of pain more discomfort. Hard not to notice it though, depending on how i move my body.

Well 4 months of dissolving herbs later and the discomfort is still there. I can only asssume it is getting no smaller.

Follow up with my GI doc is July. I hoped that the July ultrasound would show a much smaller stone. But I dont think it will. If it doesn't its surgery time this summer.

I only have 2 months to show some progress on this thing, I need to relieve this discomfort feeling.

I just started chanca pedra and apple cider vinegar. Is there anything else I can do. I have not flushed yet as it was my plan to start flushing when it was much smaller in size. At a little over an inch an calcified it could do serious damage to the bile duct if it got stuck. I would end up in the emergency room real fast.

What can I do, is thhere any hope to svae my gallbladder?

Any advice? Tweet
