Many years ago,

my wife visited the doctor, complaining of stomach pain. He discovered, and treated her for, some minor ulcers.

On a routine diagnostic image,

the doctor also happened to notice that she had some gallstones.

We were surprised to hear it, because the gallstones were causing her no discomfort at all. Because they were not bothering her, the doctor ignored them.

Several years later,

my wife began to experience some pain from the gallstones. When we sought medical treatment, the insurance company at my new job refused to authorize it. They insisted the stones were a "pre-existing condition."

At the time, the cost to remove a gall bladder was about $15 thousand dollars. That priced us completely out of the market.

My wife desperately needed that surgery, yet — due to a happenstance insurance technicality — she was denied it.

Had God let us down?

Friends and relatives soon heard about our plight.

One of my aunts mentioned our problem to a neighbor. The neighbor gave my aunt a book. My aunt mailed it to us.

The book described a simple home remedy for removing gall stones.

What? A home remedy? No surgery?

The remedy called for going on a several day fruit-juice fast.

The fast is intended to clear out your colon. Then, on the final day of the fast, you divide a pint of cold-pressed olive oil into eight doses. You lie down on the couch and relax. Every fifteen minutes, you toss back a shot of the olive oil, and chase it with two tablespoons of fresh-squeezed lemon juice. The lemon juice not only kills the taste, but comes into play later.

During this "treatment," you can watch TV, listen to music, read a book — just do whatever relaxes you.

After the last shot, you go to bed, deliberately lying on your right side.

Because you are on your right side, the olive oil pools at the entrance to your gall bladder duct. The large amount of oil causes your gall bladder to begin a series of contractions.

Between contractions, as the gall bladder relaxes, some of the oil and lemon juice enters the gall bladder. The two liquids soften and lubricate the gallstones.

Sometime later that night,

you wake up with an overwhelming urge to evacuate your bowels.

When you do, you will pass your gallstones. They just squirt out through the pre-lubricated gall bladder duct, like so many watermelon seeds!

Are you skeptical?

We were.

As due diligence, we went to a medical seminar in San Diego. A doctor presented information about an experimental non-surgical protocol that used ultrasonic sound to shatter gallstones. The fragments then pass out of the system through the gall bladder duct. At about $5,000 dollars, the treatment was a comparative bargain.

After the presentation, I hung around to question the doctor thoroughly.
Just how flexible is the gall bladder duct, anyway?

He told me that the duct is very flexible, but that sometimes, irregularly shaped stones become painfully stuck. If that happens, the next step is surgical removal. That seemed like a reasonable risk, as most people start with surgery anyway!

Hearing that, the path seemed obvious.

The gall bladder duct is very flexible. Olive oil would provide lubrication. We began to believe the home remedy just might work.

I decided to pioneer the treatment myself. I'd be a "guinea pig" before subjecting my wife to this process, even though I felt fit as a fiddle.

Much to my surprise, the night of the treatment, I passed about two cups of cholesterol-based gallstones.

I had no idea they were in there. (I stored them in the freezer for a couple of years as "show and tell" souvenirs).

About a month later,

my wife worked up the courage to try the treatment. She also passed many stones, and has had no gallbladder trouble since.

What was the total cost of the treatment?

Not $15,000. Not $5,000.

All told, we removed my wife's gallstones for less than ten dollars worth of olive oil and lemons.

You might want to budget a little more to cover the fruit juice. However, because you are fasting, you will save the difference on food anyway.

Thank God!

He had not let us down, after all. To the contrary, he gave us a far superior natural remedy.

The sad truth is that many people who have their gallbladders removed continue to suffer from gallstones nonetheless. Gallstones actually form in the liver, and so removing the gallbladder doesn't eliminate the problem.

Furthermore, for the rest of their lives they may suffer digestive problems and may need to rely on drugs and strict diets to manage its absence.

Spread the word about this remedy.

Thank the LORD,

he spared my wife surgery, and brought this remedy to our attention. We hope others may benefit from what we learned.
