REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY - forwarded by jksw

REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY
Hi,
I received this from a friend and would like to share this useful
information with you.
Olive oil and Grapefruit juice show positive results-unbelievable.western
Doctors never recommend this method.
REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY
This will be definitely a good piece of info if it can help people.
This is a useful piece of information that you may have not received before.
This is true and it works. You can 'google' Dr Lai C hiu-Nan to find out
more about her and the feedbacks of this treatment.
ps. as always, spread the good things
Pictures first, explanation and procedure follows:
1. Liver
2. C common Bile Duct
3. Gallstones
4. Gallbladder
REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY
by Dr Lai C hiu-Nan
It has worked for many. If it works for you please pass on the good news. C
hiu Nan is not charging for it, so we should make it free for everyone. Your
reward is when someone, through your word of mouth, benefits from the
regime. Gallstones may not be everyone's concern. But they should be because
we all have them. Moreover, gallstones may lead to cancer. " C ancer is
never the first illness," C hiu Nan points out. "Usually, there are a lot of
other problems leading to cancer.
In my research in C hina , I came across some materials which say that
people with cancer usually have stones. We all have gallstones. It's a
matter of big or small, many or few.
One of the symp tom s of gallstones is a feeling of bloatedness after a
heavy meal. You feel like you can't digest the food. If it gets more
serious, you feel pain in the liver area." So if you think you have
gallstones, C hiu Nan offers the following method to remove them naturally.
The treatment is also good for those with a weak liver, because the liver
and gallbladder are closely linked.
Regimen:
1. 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.. On the sixth day, take no dinner.
3. At 6 PM, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass
of warm water..
4. At 8 PM, repeat the same. Magnesium sulphate opens the gallbladder ducts.
5. 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..
PS. 1cup=250ml, ? cup lemon juice=3 lemons (aprox.)
The next morning, you will find green stones in your stools. "Usually they
float," C hiu Nan notes. "You might want to count them. I have had people
who passes 40, 50 or up to 100 stones. Very many."
"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..
PASS THIS AND YOU MAY HELP OTHERS!
