Some very traditional medical "authorities" claim the Gallstones that cause pain and trouble are the one that have calcified. Anyone who has ever had a major gallbladder attack, then did a successful flush knows better. First we get the gallbladder emptied, then we can start cleansing our livers where the stones are formed. Surgery cannot do that. I wonder if a lot of doctors resent (and hide) the fact the we can cure Gallstones with about $10.00 worth of easily available supplies rather than spend thousands of dollars on unnecessary surgery.
