If you do the Hulda Clark gallbladder/liver cleanse you will pass stones easily and safely. The main ingredients are epsom salts to open the bile ducts and olive oil and lemon juice to stimulate the liver and gallbladder to pump out the stones and toxins. Passing stones without these is possible but may be painful.

A quick cure for gallbladder pain is to drink a glass of warm water with a TBSP of epsom salt dissolved in it. If you have stones some of them will be released this way and pain relief often comes within an hour or less.

Hi Melissa.

I am glad to report that I got rid of a lot of gallstones with chanca piedra tea.. First though I drank apple cidar vinegar with apple juice and lemons which seemed to loosen the stones and then I drank a few cups of the tea.. Well I was expelling stones and no pain at all.. The pain was having the stones.. I still have more to go but my gallbladder pain has been so much less and less. I am really shocked myself. the chanca piedra breaks up the stones and makes them easier to pass. No pain.. I didn't go the whole flush method so this has been two months but I am very happy with the results. I am so grateful.

The answer to your question is yes and no. It depends entirely on the situation.

Pretend you have a 3" wide pipe with water flowing through it. If you throw a pebble into the pipe it will go straight through without a problem. Think of the pebble and the pipe like a small gallstone passing through your bile duct. Now imagine pushing a tennis ball into the pipe, which gets stuck and starts backing up the flow of water. This is kind of like what happens when a gallstone gets stuck. If the water can't pass through due to a blockage then its painful. You can try remedies that might add pressure and help flush the tennis ball (gallstone) out, and it may or may not work depending on how stuck it is. Now imagine something with an even tighter fit stuck in the pipe like a softball. No matter how much water backs up, nothing will push the softball through. This is kind of like what happens with a large stone and surgery for the most part might be the only option.

Having said that, I personally wouldn't listen to anyone who says there's a "cure" for gallstones. And I'm saying this as someone who believes in both natural and western medicine so I am not just trying to shoot down people mentioning natural cures, I just think the word cure is misleading and not true in this case but there are natural remedies that may or may not work but it depends entirely on the situation.
