How I Removed My Own Gallstones

At Home, Overnight
by Dann McCreary


As you might imagine, there is a bit of a story to this...
Some years ago, my wife Pam had a stomach problem for which she visited a
doctor. In the course of treating her problem, the doctor took some ultrasound
images and noticed the presence of gallstones.

This was a surprise to us because the gallstones were completely asymptomatic,
causing her no pain or trouble of any kind. Because they were not a problem, the
doctor recommended no treatment.

Fast-forward several years to about 1990. I had just begun working for a new
employer when Pam began to experience some pain from the gallstones. Although
she had never had them treated before, the insurance company considered them to
be a pre-existing condition because they had merely appeared on the earlier
ultrasound image!

We were distressed, wondering what to do; gall bladder surgery at the time was
expected to cost us about $15,000 which we could in no way afford. Sounds like
God let us down with the timing on that one, right? Wrong! We talked to friends
and relatives about this; my Aunt then mentioned the problem to a neighbor; the
neighbor gave my Aunt a booklet; my Aunt mailed it to us. The booklet described
a home remedy for removing gall stones.

Briefly, the remedy involves going on a fruit-juice fast for several days in
order to clear the bowel. On the evening of the treatment day, you lie on the
couch and drink a pint of cold-pressed olive oil, divided into eight doses, each
dose chased by two tablespoons of fresh-squeezed lemon juice to kill the taste.
The eight doses are taken at fifteen minute intervals.

After the last dose, you go to bed, being sure to lie on your right side. (I
think that way the olive oil pools at the entrance to your gall bladder duct,
and when the oil causes the bladder to contract, some of the oil and lemon juice
enter the gall bladder where they can soften and lubricate the stones.)
Somewhere in the middle of the night you will wake up with a powerful urge to
evacuate, and you will pass the stones. (They just squirt out through the gall
bladder duct like so many watermelon seeds!)

We were of course somewhat skeptical; for due diligence, we went to a seminar in
San Diego at which a doctor presented information about another experimental
non-surgical protocol which used ultrasonic sound to shatter the stones,
allowing the fragments to be passed out of the system through the gall bladder
duct. This experimental treatement cost somewhat less; about $5,000 total. I
questioned the doctor carefully as to just how flexible the gall bladder duct
might be. He indicated that it was very flexible, but that irregularly shaped
stones could sometimes become lodged in it causing pain and requiring surgical
removal.

Hearing that the gall bladder duct was very flexible, and thinking about the
lubricating effect of olive oil, we were encouraged to proceed. However, to be
sure that there were no serious negative effects of the treatment, I decided to
be a "guinea pig" and take the treatment myself before having Pam try it. What a
surprise! The night of the treatment I passed about two cups of
chloresterol-based gallstones! I had no idea they were in there! (I still have
some in my freezer if you would like to see them).

About a month later, Pam worked up the courage to try the treatment. She also
passed many stones, and has had no gall bladder trouble since. Total cost of the
treatment? Not $15,000, not $5,000, but less than ten dollars for all the olive
oil and lemons. You might want to budget somewhat more to cover the fruit juice;
however, because you are fasting, you will save it on food anyway.

We are very thankful to God for bringing this remedy to our attention, and we
hope there may be others who may be able to benefit from what we learned.
