The Treatment and Cure of Gallstones

The Treatment and Cure of Gall Stones

GallStones have been mentioned as the only likely serious complication (secondary disease) of Duodenal Ulcer.
Inflammation of the gall bladder usually precedes gallstone trouble. When gallstones have formed, the condition called cholecystitis (inflammation of the gall bladder) can develop from the lodging of one of the stones in the gall duct. Stone in the duct is the almost invariable cause of acute cholecystitis.
From the above it is obvious that any line of treatment which clears out all stones from the gall bladder and the gall duct will remove the causes of both conditions. Any remaining inflammation will then yield readily to an appropriate formula. If, however, we ‘put the cart before the horse’ and try to disperse the inflammation before clearing the stones, then no curative headway will be made.
Before going into the details of the diseases and their cure, I would like to make the following clear-cut statement to sufferers from gallstones.
Within twenty-four hours (repeat hours) of reading this chapter, you can pass and count all your stones. If you have an operation pending, you are advised to take this simple treatment, wash out the stones from the excrement, take them along to your doctor and inform him that your operation can be cancelled.
What is this remarkable treatment that produces such spectacular results? It is merely olive oil and lemon juice! You may reply that you have already taken a spoonful of olive oil after every meal and an occasional drop of lemon juice, and that your doctor has suggested these remedies, which have achieved nothing. I agree that you could go on like that forever and still fail to clear your stones. It is no use being halfhearted with these simple but valuable remedies. A pint of the oil will do more in one evening than a hundred pints spread over two or three years. A half-pint of lemon juice taken on that same evening will do more than a thousand lemons could do if spread in small doses over a couple of years. Where orthodoxy is concerned, they have the right remedies but the wrong method.

Treatment Program
If you want to clear your gall stones by bedtime tomorrow night, buy a pint (16oz, 2 cups) of purest olive oil and eight to twelve lemons, approximately 8oz, 1cup. (If lemons are not available, then pure lemon juice, which is now sold in bottled form, will act just as well.) You should commence the treatment at about 7p.m. and you must be sure not to eat anything after the midday meal on the chosen day (although you can have normal drinks during the interim hours). At about 7p.m, you take four tablespoonfuls of the olive oil and immediately follow them down with one tablespoonful of unsweetened pure lemon juice. After fifteen minutes, repeat this pair of doses in exactly the same way, and continue repeating the pair of doses at intervals of fifteen minutes until all of the oil has been taken; then finish off the treatment by drinking off any remaining lemon juice.
It is important that all of the oil should be taken at those fixed intervals and on the same evening. In an occasional case the patient will tend to throw up some of the oil during or after the treatment, and this in spite of the fact that the acid juice ‘lays’ the oil and takes away the possibility of nausea developing during the treatment. Any oil that may be thrown up is merely an excess quantity which is not required by that particular patient’s system for achieving the full results – i.e., the system will either retain and use all of the oil, or else it will use all that it requires and reject the balance.
Note carefully: even if you vomit any of the oil during the treatment you must still carry on taking the oil without interfering with the fifteen minute intervals between doses. If you fail to observe this instruction, it is possible that you may leave stones ‘in transit’ and these could give biliary colic after a few days, when they begin to move without the soothing, softening action of the oil. No such after-effects have ever come to my knowledge when the full pint of oil has been taken.

What the Stones Look Like
During the twenty-four to forty-eight hours after the taking of this treatment you should pass all bowel motions into a receptacle and run tap water strongly on to the excrement with a view to ‘washing out’ the stones from it. Most of the stones will sink; some of them may float. When passed per rectum, these stones will be found to be softened to the stage of rubberiness. They may vary from the size of a golf ball to that of a pea or a split pea. In nearly all cases the stones are biliverdin ones – that is to say, they are made of solidified green bile and they are blue-green in appearance. I have only two cases on my files where bilirubin stones were passed. These are stones of solidified red bile pigment, and the patients brought along the stones to me to satisfy my own curiosity. The stones were like strawberries and just as easy to squash between the finger and thumb; mixed with those red stones were others consisting of both green and red bile, the result being stones of the normal color of gall.

Liquefying
The softening and dissolving action of this treatment is such that it is almost impossible to keep the stones in a bottle for more than about forty-eight hours. The bottled ‘souvenirs’ will gently fall away into an oily liquid. This leads me on to a possibility which should be mentioned; I refer to the liquefying of stones before they are passed per rectum. This happens in very occasional cases, and the result is a needlessly disappointed patient. Such patients will report a very ‘messy’ series of bowel motions following the treatment. Such patients can be absolutely reassured that everything that was in the gall bladder has been ejected and passed down through the bowel; if any stones were in the gall bladder, they will have come away: it does not matter whether the stones come in solid or in liquid form provided that you are left with a gall bladder from which every stone and all congested gall have come away. However, such cases of liquefied gallstones are so rare that it is a thousand-to-one chance that you will have the great satisfaction of seeing your stones come away after this treatment.
After this simple treatment for overnight clearance of the stones you must take the follow up treatment for one month to rectify the functions of the gall bladder and disperse inflammation from where the stones were lying.
“Optional Recommendation: LGC Herbal Combination by Gahler, or see what Health Food/Vitamin Store recommends.” Also during the month to complete the treatment the following foods must be avoided: all fried foods; all fatty and greasy foods; all highly spiced foods; all pastry and cakes. BUT…at the end of the month all of these foods can be gradually brought back into the diet in moderation until a normal diet is being eaten and enjoyed.

Not Recommended: For pregnant or nursing mothers nor for the faint of heart.
