• To make gall stones pass, drink nothing but apple cider vinegar for a day, 1/2 a cup five times a day. For the next three days, drink a mixture of 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar and 1/4 cup of pure virgin olive oil mixed together, again five times a day. On the 5th day,the stones should pass, never to come back.
• Eating more apples will prevent cholesterol-induced gall stones from forming in the first place.
• A tea of chicory root and endive tea helps expelling gallstones very well. Bring 1 quart of water to a boil, add 3 tbsp of chicory root, reduce heat and let simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, add half a cut of raw and finely cut endive. Cover and let steep for 45 minutes. Drink several cups of the tea twice a day between meal times. Make sure that one of the two times is about 2 hours before retiring for the night.
• Expelling gall stones and stopping gallbladder pain can be achieved by taking 2 tbsp of olive oil every morning, followed by 1/2 cup of grapefruit juice.
