Gallbladder Cleanse; Avoid Surgery & Improve Health!

This one isn't for the faint of heart.  I'll bullet point the directions for you first;  then elaborate on some second hand experience.  I haven't done this one YET myself.  But I do believe that next month is the month! woo-hoo!

  • Begin taking the herb Hydrangea 5 days to 2 weeks prior to a full moon; Take between 12 and 18 per day. Hydrangea acts as a natural solvent to stones.  The moon's "pull" will help facilitate a better cleanse.
  • Fast for 2 days on Organic Apple Juice (preferably freshly juiced organic apple juice) It may be diluted with water too.  If you buy apple juice make sure to get a high quality organic brand form a health food store. 
  • At the end of the 2nd night before bed, quickly drink down a 1/2 cup of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil mixed with a 1/2 cup Fresh Organic Lemon Juice. 
  • Lay down to bed on your right side.  Arrange the multiple pillows to help you stay comfortable there.
  • You'll likely wake up in the middle of the night and pass the stones as you would stool, or early the next morning.

Stones are a sign that the body is not in mineral balance.  Since the stones are made mostly of Calcium, this tells a bit about what is happening in the body.
