GALLSTONE FLUSH
As devised by the Dulwich Health Society
METHOD:
1. For six consecutive days drink two litres of fresh, pure apple juice per day. Beg, borrow or steal a juicer if you can and use organic green apples, which have a higher pectin content than red apples. The pectin in the apple juice will begin to soften the gallstones. If you do not have a juicer, ensure you purchase organic apple juice, and eat organic green apples. It also helps to drink 5 cups of camomile tea per day. During this time eat sensibly, following the guidelines on page 3.
2. On the sixth day, eat nothing after lunch but continue to drink the apple juice and camomile tea.
3. At 9.00 p.m on the sixth day, take 1-2 level tablespoons of Epsom salts* dissolved in a little warm water. Prepare another dose incase you need it later.
4. At 10.00 p.m mix together 2 oz/60ml of freshly squeezed organic lemon juice and 4 oz/120 ml of cold-pressed, unrefined extra virgin olive oil. Drink as slowly as you can manage. (Drinking it through a straw helps, so that the oil does not come into contact with the lips.)
5. Got to bed immediately and lay on your right side for 30 minutes with your right knee drawn up to your chest before you go to sleep, to help the olive oil mix drain.
6. During the next day you should pass gallstones that are as soft as putty.
*The Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) are used to dilate the bile duct, to reduce the risk of a stone becoming lodged there. If you suspect that a stone may have become lodged (which will produce a mild, dull pain in comparison the extremely sharp pain of a gallstone attack), repeat the procedure.
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PERFORM THIS FLUSH UNTIL YOU HAVE HAD AN ULTRASOUND SCAN* TO DETERMINE THE SIZE AND QUANTITY OF THE STONES. IF THEY ARE TOO LARGE TO BE SUCCESSFULLY PASSED USING THIS METHOD AND BECOME LODGED IN THE BILE DUCT, SEVERE PAIN AND POSSIBLE SURGERY MAY BE THE RESULT.
*Ultrasound scans can detect gallstones as small as 2 millimetres in diameter with an accuracy of 90-95%.

Olive oil dissolves gall stones and lubricates the tube that leads from the gall bladder to the duodenum, and once the larger stones have been eliminated to the duodenum, it will now become easy to pass on and out through the rectum.
I recommend eating cherries, radishes especially horseradish to help you cope faster from your gall bladder stone treatment. Plus drinking of apple juice can also make your treatment complete.
If you have an infected gall bladder, it is best to do the following:
Put as hot applications as you can endure over the organ.
Then apply a half cup of pure olive oil with very hot cloth.
Heat will attract the blood, as well as the oil to that region.
After half an hour, do some gentle exercises; swing hands up and down, over head, sideway-anything that will stimulate the liver. The exercise will work the oil and blood through the tissues, and the infection will come out. Do this every night.
NON-SURGICAL REMOVAL OF GALL STONES
Dr Lewis found that 99% of the people who did his gall bladder cleanse had gall stones.
Dr Lewis' method removes gall stones:
* Easily
* Painlessly
* Virtually for free
* Usually overnight
PLUS you get to keep your gall bladder, which is essential to keep your body at peak health!
The ONLY ingredients you need are virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
There are some optional ingredients: Prior to the cleanse, apple, carrot, orange or grapefruit juice for a brief fast. During the cleanse, some V8 juice or pineapple juice.
Following the cleanse he strongly recommends vitamin c, methionince, choline, inositol and lecithin be added to your daily supplements.
A. SUGGESTED PRE-CLEANSE
A colonic irrigation to clean out the system for easier elimination of the stones is recommended prior to the cleanse. You may need to start this a week or so before the treatment, to be able to have several colonic irrigations.
If you can't have colonic irrigation, consider an enema.
Do one or two days of modified fasting using fresh juices. Apple and carrot juice are probably the best. Unsweetened orange and grapefruit are next. Fresh is the first choice, fresh frozen second.
Drink as much as you like!
B. THE CLEANSE
Pick a day when you have nothing much to do the next day, and preferably even the day after. Friday is best for most people who have the weekend off. Don't make any plans to go out!
DO NOT EAT ANY SOLID FOOD after noon on the cleanse day. You may drink water or fresh juices, as much as you like.
DO NOT HAVE ANY FLUIDS after 6.30 pm (or 30 minutes before the start of your treatment) on the day of cleanse. Give your stomach time to evacuate all the fluids. Then the olive oil won't float up on top of the fluid and your chances of nausea will be greatly reduced.
YOU WILL NEED:
One pint of cold virgin olive oil.
One half-pint of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Peppermint oil (from your health food store)
Pineapple or V8 juice (note: Biotta vegetable juice from Health food store is likely better than V8)
Measuring cup or tablespoon size measuring spoon
Pitcher of water
Paint stirring stick
Jar with screw-on lid
Index cards
Net to drape under the toilet seat, to catch your stones
Place the net under you toilet seat so it will be ready when you need it. Lift the seat and place the net across the porcelain stool, then replace the seat so it will hold the net in place. Place the pitcher of water and the paint stirring stick next to the toilet ready for when you need them. Also have handy the screw-on lid for storing your gall stones and the index card.
If you should experience extreme nausea or vomiting, try chasing it with a small amount of V8 juice or pineapple juice. Or you might try adding a few drops of peppermint oil to the olive oil. Use one of these mixtures for a couple of doses and then go back to the olive oil and lemon juice without adding anything.
THE PROCEDURE
12 Noon
Stop eating all solid food
6.30 pm
Stop drinking all fluids
7.00 pm
Using a measuring device, pour ¼ cup (four tablespoonfuls) of olive oil and drink it.
Follow immediately with one or two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice.
Lie down and relax.
Repeat this every 15 minutes. Sit up, swallow it and lie down again. If possible, have someone else bring them to you.
Relax, read or watch television. Keep as still as possible. It is best to lie on your right side.
Repeat the exact dosage every 15 minutes until you have swallowed all of the pint of olive oil. If there is any lemon juice left, drink it all.
It is now probably 10.00 or 10.30 pm
Remember, if you have terrible nausea or vomiting sensations, use the peppermint oil in the olive oil, or chase the olive oil with a small amount of V8 or pineapple juice, until you can resume taking the plain olive oil and lemon juice.
While you are taking the olive oil and lemon juice, if it gets hard to swallow, take a little more time between doses. Try 20 minutes between doses, or 25 minutes. Try to swallow all of the oil and lemon juice. If you are too nauseated to get it all down, take as much as you possibly can.
You have finished the olive oil and lemon juice. Now go to bed and do your best to go to sleep. Lie on your right side. This position speeds up the process of the olive oil entering the gall bladder to act as a lubricant. This, along with the softening action of the lemon juice, will help to free the stones more easily and readily from the gall bladder. Stay in bed and forget everything until the urge to go the toilet comes.
That was really quite simple, wasn't it?
About 2.00 or 3.00 am you'll probably wake up with the unmistakeable urge to go to the toilet. It may not happen. For some, it doesn't happen until 11am the next day. If your first bowel movement is at 2.00 or 3.00 am you will probably have no stones in it, but you'll want to check to be sure.
When you have the first bowel movement after the cleanse, you'll use the pitcher of water and the paint stirring stick to wash the fecal material through the net. Pour water gently and use the stick to separate the stones from the fecal material. The fecal material will be runny and wash through the net.
You can use the index card, folded in half, as a makeshift shovel. Place the stones in the jar and screw the lid on. You may want to show your stones to some people. Many will be amazed, but some will still be unbelievers. You certainly want to keep your stones for a while to remind yourself that it was all worth while. After a few days they will dissolve (because of the lemon juice and oil). If you want to keep them for an indefinite period, store them in your freezer with a label - GALL STONES. DON'T' EAT!!!!
You may notice green objects and maybe greenish liquid excrement in the toilet bowel. Those are small gall stones. Some gall stones may be dissolved by the treatment.
Dr Lewis found that 1% of people failed to pass gall stones. If you are one of these 1%, don't be disappointed. In some individuals, the powerful action of the lemon juice causes the stones to dissolve before they are passed out of the body. IF you have only greenish liquid bowel movements, the cleanse has been effective.
Notice any increase in vitality that usually follows the cleanse.
Remember, optimum efficiency in the human body can only occur if all our God-given parts are working properly.
Some people (including doctors) will say that your gall stones are not gall stones but fecal matter. To quote from Dr Lewis:
"To clarify the situation and eliminate such questions, I sent a sample of gall stones to a medical analysis lab run by a Ph.D. who heads up the Science Department at Texas Woman's University in Denton. He ran the necessary tests…
His analysis of the stone sample I sent was 91% cholesterol and the rest was bile salts, water and inert ingredients. In other words, the sample had the chemical contents of gall stones. And the report clearly states it was gall stones".
Steps
1
Step One
*For the first five days, take four
glasses of apple juice every day. Or
eat four or five apples, whichever you
prefer. Apple juice softens the
gallstones. During the five days, eat
normally.
2
Step Two
*On the sixth day, take no dinner. At
6 pm, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt
(magnesium sulphate) with a glass of
warm water.
* At 8 pm, repeat the same. Magnesium
sulphate opens the gallbladder ducts.
3
Step Three
* At 10 pm, take half-cup olive oil
(or sesame oil) with half cup fresh
lemon juice. Mix it well and drink it.
The oil lubricates the stones to ease
their passage.
4
Step Four
The next morning, you will find green
stones in your stools. "Usually they
float," Chiu Nan notes. "You might
want to count them. I have had people
who pass 40, 50 or up to 100 stones.
That s a lot..! "Even if you don't
have any symptoms of gallstones, you
still might have some. It's always
good to give your gall bladder a clean
up now and then.

GALLSTONES: HERE’S WHAT THE DOCTOR WON’T TELL YOU!
You have a terrible pain and tenderness in the upper right area of your abdomen, a pain between your shoulder blades, you feel nauseous and ready to die. You sit, stand and lie down but cannot get comfortable. So you go to see your GP, who very helpfully informs you that you have Acute Cholecystitis and that the only cure is to have your gallbladder surgically removed. WHAT? Did you hear correctly? Sadly, yes you did.
The standard medical treatment for Acute Cholecystitis (an inflamed gallbladder, caused by stones forming in the gallbladder - the first phase - followed by a gallstone being expelled from the gallbladder during contraction and becoming lodged in one of the bile ducts - the second phase) is the removal of the gallbladder, an operation called a cholecystectomy. This is akin to removing your nose to cure the common cold! Another thing your GP probably won’t mention as he or she urges you to have surgery, is the increased risk of bowel cancer that the removal of the gallbladder can cause, as bile drips continuously into your digestive system†. This constant dripping also causes diarrhoea in some people. Removing the gallbladder may also cause higher blood cholesterol levels. But then, look on the bright side - you’ll never suffer from gallstones again!
But what I GUARANTEE your doctor won’t tell you - most probably because he or she doesn’t actually know - is that there is a natural and painless way to rid yourself of the gallstones and keep your gallbladder!
But first, a little background. Bile, which comprises water, bile salts, lecithin and cholesterol, is first produced by the liver and then secreted through channels within the liver into a small tube called a hepatic duct. From there it passes through a larger tube called a common duct, which leads to the small intestine. Then, except for a small amount that drains directly into the small intestine, bile flows into the gallbladder through the cystic duct. The gallbladder is a four inch sac with a muscular wall that is located under the liver. Here, most of the fluid (about 2-5 cups a day) is removed, leaving a few tablespoons of concentrated bile. The gallbladder basically serves as a reservoir until bile is needed in the small intestine for the digestion of fat. When food enters the small intestine, a hormone called cholecystokinin is released, signalling the gallbladder to contract. The force of the contraction propels the bile back through the common bile duct and then into the small intestine, where it emulsifies fatty molecules so that fat and the fat-absorbable vitamins A, D, E and K can enter the bloodstream through the intestinal lining.
The majority of gallstones are formed from cholesterol (which comprises only about 5% of bile) and grow because the liver begins secreting bile that is unusually saturated with cholesterol. The cholesterol then crystallises to form stones while in storage in the gallbladder. Around 15% of stones are formed from bile salts and are called pigment stones. Whilst cholesterol stones are usually green in colour, pigment stones are usually brown or black. It is possible to have a combination of both stones.
The formation of gallstones may be caused by a large number of factors: faulty (i.e. high levels of saturated fats or refined carbohydrates) diet; being over 40 years of age; having excess oestrogen from pregnancy, taking HRT or the contraceptive pill; obesity; sudden and rapid weight loss*; yo-yo dieting*; following a very low calorie diet*; fasting*; lack of exercise; food allergies (the most common of which are, in order of occurrence, eggs, pork, onions, fowl, milk, coffee, citrus, corn, beans and nuts)§; having diabetes, Crohn’s disease, cystic fibrosis or cirrhosis of the liver; the excessive consumption of sugar; taking cholesterol-lowering drugs or using diuretic drugs, certain antibiotics, anti-rejection drugs and prostaglandins - oh, and our old friend, stress.
*A gallbladder that does not contract sufficiently to empty the bile regularly will encourage the formation of gallstones. Researchers believe dieting may cause a shift in the balance of bile salts and cholesterol in the gallbladder. Skipping meals decreases gallbladder contractions, as does eating meals that are extremely low in fat. A meal or snack needs to contain approximately 10 grams of fat to contract the gallbladder normally.
In the USA gallbladder disease affects an estimated 20 million people! Every year more than half a million people in the USA undergo surgery to remove their gallbladders because of gallstones. Between 10-20% of all adults over 40 years of age have gallstones. Approximately 80% of all gallstones show no symptoms and may remain ‘silent’ (asymptomatic) for years. If symptoms do occur, the chance of developing pain is about 2% per year for the first 10 years after stone formation, after which the chance of developing symptoms decreases, although the reason for this decrease is unclear. On average, symptoms take eight years to develop. After an attack, the chance of a recurring attack within a year is less than 50%. Left untreated, gallstones may cause peritonitis, pancreatitis and an increased risk of gallbladder cancer. Gallstones are present in 80% of people with gallbladder cancer, although this is a very rare cancer, even among people with gallstones.
The most common triggers for gallbladder attacks are caffeine, chocolate, eggs, dairy products (especially ice cream) and greasy/deep fried foods.
The presence of gallstones is often a contributing factor to a weak spleen (leading to hypoglycemia), sleep disturbances including insomnia and nightmares, dizziness, a bad taste in the mouth, vomiting of bile, painful flanks, anger and depression.
So are there medical alternatives to surgery? Yes indeed. Gallstones can be dissolved using drugs such as chenodeoxycholic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethyl propionate. These drugs are only effective on smaller stones and may cause a variety of unpleasant side effects including diarrhoea, nausea, pain or fever, hepatic injury and may also increase cholesterol levels. It is very unlikely that your doctor would prescribe these drugs as they are extremely expensive. They also have a failure rate as high as 50%, and even if they do dissolve the gallstones the recurrence rate can be as high as 50%‡.
There is also a treatment called Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), in which you sit in a bath of water and high-energy, ultrasound shock waves are directed through the abdominal wall toward the stones. This procedure is suitable for solitary stones of less than 2 cm, but less than 15% of patients are suitable for this treatment. Complications of this treatment include pain in the gallbladder area, pancreatitis within a month of the treatment, and not all of the fragments may clear the bile duct, which then provides a home for bacteria. There is also the risk of raised blood pressure and permanent damage to the kidneys, which is more pronounced if the stones are close to, or in, the kidneys¤.
Gallstones and kidney stones often occur together, and if you have either kind, your liver, kidneys and entire system cannot work efficiently. Because the kidneys and gallbladder are very close to each other, the stagnation of one organ often causes the other to become sluggish too. In order to reduce the chance of having stone accumulation and stagnation again, it is better to cleanse both organs.
CLEANSING THE LIVER AND GALLBLADDER WITH A FLUSH
So how do you perform this cleansing operation? It is simplicity itself, and utterly painless. I know; I have done it myself, successfully expelling around two dozen or more gallstones ranging in size from pea to pepper corn.
GALLSTONE FLUSH
As devised by the Dulwich Health Society
METHOD:
1. For six consecutive days drink two litres of fresh, pure apple juice per day. Beg, borrow or steal a juicer if you can and use organic green apples, which have a higher pectin content than red apples. The pectin in the apple juice will begin to soften the gallstones. If you do not have a juicer, ensure you purchase organic apple juice, and eat organic green apples. It also helps to drink 5 cups of camomile tea per day. During this time eat sensibly, following the guidelines on page 3.
2. On the sixth day, eat nothing after lunch but continue to drink the apple juice and camomile tea.
3. At 9.00 p.m on the sixth day, take 1-2 level tablespoons of Epsom salts* dissolved in a little warm water. Prepare another dose incase you need it later.
4. At 10.00 p.m mix together 2 oz/60ml of freshly squeezed organic lemon juice and 4 oz/120 ml of cold-pressed, unrefined extra virgin olive oil. Drink as slowly as you can manage. (Drinking it through a straw helps, so that the oil does not come into contact with the lips.)
5. Got to bed immediately and lay on your right side for 30 minutes with your right knee drawn up to your chest before you go to sleep, to help the olive oil mix drain.
6. During the next day you should pass gallstones that are as soft as putty.
*The Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) are used to dilate the bile duct, to reduce the risk of a stone becoming lodged there. If you suspect that a stone may have become lodged (which will produce a mild, dull pain in comparison the extremely sharp pain of a gallstone attack), repeat the procedure.
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PERFORM THIS FLUSH UNTIL YOU HAVE HAD AN ULTRASOUND SCAN* TO DETERMINE THE SIZE AND QUANTITY OF THE STONES. IF THEY ARE TOO LARGE TO BE SUCCESSFULLY PASSED USING THIS METHOD AND BECOME LODGED IN THE BILE DUCT, SEVERE PAIN AND POSSIBLE SURGERY MAY BE THE RESULT.
*Ultrasound scans can detect gallstones as small as 2 millimetres in diameter with an accuracy of 90-95%.
DAILY GALLBLADDER & LIVER FLUSH DRINK
If you drink this drink all in one go, first thing in the morning (an hour before eating breakfast) it will flush and detox the gallbladder and liver. In addition, the drink restores the pH of your saliva, which in turn helps you to absorb the nutrients from the food you eat.
INGREDIENTS:
1 organic, unwaxed lemon
1 tablespoon (15ml) cold-pressed, unrefined extra virgin olive oil
½ pint (10 fl.oz/300ml) of room temperature (NOT chilled) spring or filtered tap water
METHOD:
Wash the lemon and cut into small pieces, rind included, removing any dark bits. Place in a blender with the water and olive oil and blitz for 60 seconds. Strain and drink, using a straw if necessary.
LIFESTYLE CHANGES TO HELP PREVENT GALLSTONE FORMATION
DIET:
• Eat whole grains, unrefined carbohydrates (brown bread, rice and pasta etc) and plenty of dietary fibre.
• Increase intake of vegetable proteins (especially soy products), decreasing intake of animal proteins.
• Consume plenty of fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, especially those containing pectin (especially green apples) and cellulose (especially celery and crisp fruits and vegetables).
• Eliminate intake of saturated fats, and ALL products containing white sugar and white flour.
• Eat no fried foods, especially those that are deep-fried.
• Avoid ice-cold foods and drinks - room temperature or slightly warm is best.
• Avoid coffee.
• Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water per day to keep the water content of your bile topped up, plus chamomile tea if possible
• NEVER skip meals and ALWAYS eat breakfast.
• Every meal or snack should contain 10g of fat to enable the gallbladder to contract.
• Drink a little unrefined, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil each day (see Daily Flush Drink above). Olive oil will help the gallbladder to contract vigorously and thus cleanse itself.
• Do not eat excessively large meals, which put an unnecessary burden on the digestive system.
• Vegetarians have a much lower incidence of gallstones, so adopting a vegetarian diet will certainly help.
SUPPLEMENTS & HERBS:
Helpful supplements include Vitamin E (200iu per day, to help prevent and dissolve gallstones), Vitamin A (helps to keep the mucosal walls healthy, preventing excess dead cells from entering the gallbladder and bile), Vitamin B Complex (helps to empty the gallbladder more efficiently), Vitamin C (helps to convert cholesterol into bile acids and render it harmless), omega-3 oils (flaxseed etc), soya lecithin (a fat emulsifier; helps keep cholesterol in solution), the amino acid tausine, psyllium husks (an excellent source of gel-forming, non-irritating dietary fibre, which alters the synthesis and absorption of secondary bile acids that form in the intestinal tract), milk thistle and dandelion tinctures (which increase the production and flow of bile), peppermint capsules/tablets (enteric coated; keeps cholesterol crystals from forming in bile), chamomile tea and a good quality antioxidant such as Neways’ Revenol (antioxidant deficiencies can induce gallstone formation). Turmeric spice is also helpful.
OTHER THERAPIES:
Some people gain great benefit from seeing a homoeopath, who may prescribe Chelidonium.
CHEMICAL STRESS:
Since maximum liver function is essential for proper bile formation, it is also important to reduce chemical stress upon the liver. Eliminate chemicals in the home and workplace wherever possible, including solvents, paints, hair and deodorant sprays, synthetic air fresheners (burn aromatherapy oils instead), nail polish, artificial colours, preservatives and flavours in foods, and petroleum-based products.
EXERCISE:
Take vigorous aerobic exercise for at least half an hour five times a week. Exercise stimulates bile secretion by the liver - as well as having a beneficial effect on your overall health and well-being.
EMOTIONS:
Anger, fear, excitement, worry and hate all cause bile to cease flowing and encourages stone formation.

1. For six consecutive days drink two litres of fresh, pure apple juice per day. Beg, borrow or steal a juicer if you can and use organic green apples, which have a higher pectin content than red apples. The pectin in the apple juice will begin to soften the gallstones. If you do not have a juicer, ensure you purchase organic apple juice, and eat organic green apples. It also helps to drink 5 cups of camomile tea per day. During this time eat sensibly, following the guidelines on page 3.
2. On the sixth day, eat nothing after lunch but continue to drink the apple juice and camomile tea.
3. At 9.00 p.m on the sixth day, take 1-2 level tablespoons of Epsom salts* dissolved in a little warm water. Prepare another dose incase you need it later.
4. At 10.00 p.m mix together 2 oz/60ml of freshly squeezed organic lemon juice and 4 oz/120 ml of cold-pressed, unrefined extra virgin olive oil. Drink as slowly as you can manage. (Drinking it through a straw helps, so that the oil does not come into contact with the lips.)
5. Got to bed immediately and lay on your right side for 30 minutes with your right knee drawn up to your chest before you go to sleep, to help the olive oil mix drain.
6. During the next day you should pass gallstones that are as soft as putty.
*The Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) are used to dilate the bile duct, to reduce the risk of a stone becoming lodged there. If you suspect that a stone may have become lodged (which will produce a mild, dull pain in comparison the extremely sharp pain of a gallstone attack), repeat the procedure.
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PERFORM THIS FLUSH UNTIL YOU HAVE HAD AN ULTRASOUND SCAN* TO DETERMINE THE SIZE AND QUANTITY OF THE STONES. IF THEY ARE TOO LARGE TO BE SUCCESSFULLY PASSED USING THIS METHOD AND BECOME LODGED IN THE BILE DUCT, SEVERE PAIN AND POSSIBLE SURGERY MAY BE THE RESULT.
*Ultrasound scans can detect gallstones as small as 2 millimetres in diameter with an accuracy of 90-95%.
DAILY GALLBLADDER & LIVER FLUSH DRINK
If you drink this drink all in one go, first thing in the morning (an hour before eating breakfast) it will flush and detox the gallbladder and liver. In addition, the drink restores the pH of your saliva, which in turn helps you to absorb the nutrients from the food you eat.
INGREDIENTS:
1 organic, unwaxed lemon
1 tablespoon (15ml) cold-pressed, unrefined extra virgin olive oil
½ pint (10 fl.oz/300ml) of room temperature (NOT chilled) spring or filtered tap water
METHOD:
Wash the lemon and cut into small pieces, rind included, removing any dark bits. Place in a blender with the water and olive oil and blitz for 60 seconds. Strain and drink, using a straw if necessary.
LIFESTYLE CHANGES TO HELP PREVENT GALLSTONE FORMATION
DIET:
• Eat whole grains, unrefined carbohydrates (brown bread, rice and pasta etc) and plenty of dietary fibre.
• Increase intake of vegetable proteins (especially soy products), decreasing intake of animal proteins.
• Consume plenty of fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, especially those containing pectin (especially green apples) and cellulose (especially celery and crisp fruits and vegetables).
• Eliminate intake of saturated fats, and ALL products containing white sugar and white flour.
• Eat no fried foods, especially those that are deep-fried.
• Avoid ice-cold foods and drinks - room temperature or slightly warm is best.
• Avoid coffee.
• Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water per day to keep the water content of your bile topped up, plus chamomile tea if possible
• NEVER skip meals and ALWAYS eat breakfast.
• Every meal or snack should contain 10g of fat to enable the gallbladder to contract.
• Drink a little unrefined, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil each day (see Daily Flush Drink above). Olive oil will help the gallbladder to contract vigorously and thus cleanse itself.
• Do not eat excessively large meals, which put an unnecessary burden on the digestive system.
• Vegetarians have a much lower incidence of gallstones, so adopting a vegetarian diet will certainly help.
SUPPLEMENTS & HERBS:
Helpful supplements include Vitamin E (200iu per day, to help prevent and dissolve gallstones), Vitamin A (helps to keep the mucosal walls healthy, preventing excess dead cells from entering the gallbladder and bile), Vitamin B Complex (helps to empty the gallbladder more efficiently), Vitamin C (helps to convert cholesterol into bile acids and render it harmless), omega-3 oils (flaxseed etc), soya lecithin (a fat emulsifier; helps keep cholesterol in solution), the amino acid tausine, psyllium husks (an excellent source of gel-forming, non-irritating dietary fibre, which alters the synthesis and absorption of secondary bile acids that form in the intestinal tract), milk thistle and dandelion tinctures (which increase the production and flow of bile), peppermint capsules/tablets (enteric coated; keeps cholesterol crystals from forming in bile), chamomile tea and a good quality antioxidant such as Neways’ Revenol (antioxidant deficiencies can induce gallstone formation). Turmeric spice is also helpful.
OTHER THERAPIES:
Some people gain great benefit from seeing a homoeopath, who may prescribe Chelidonium.
CHEMICAL STRESS:
Since maximum liver function is essential for proper bile formation, it is also important to reduce chemical stress upon the liver. Eliminate chemicals in the home and workplace wherever possible, including solvents, paints, hair and deodorant sprays, synthetic air fresheners (burn aromatherapy oils instead), nail polish, artificial colours, preservatives and flavours in foods, and petroleum-based products.
EXERCISE:
Take vigorous aerobic exercise for at least half an hour five times a week. Exercise stimulates bile secretion by the liver - as well as having a beneficial effect on your overall health and well-being.
EMOTIONS:
Anger, fear, excitement, worry and hate all cause bile to cease flowing and encourages stone formation.

Tracking chips in kid's school uniform
Tracking chips in kid's school clothing so that school officials (& parents) can know their whereabouts during the school day? Ten students in a secondary school in the United Kingdom are being tracked through RFID implants in their school uniforms in a pilot program. The kids attend Hungerhill School for ages 11-16 in Edenthorpe, UK.
The RFID chips to increased video surveillance and fingerprinting of kids, and this is a heavily tracked generation—for safety's sake.
That extra peace of mind for parents comes with a heavy loss of privacy for kids.
