Click the blue font to read detailed information available on Gall stones. 

        There are gall stones flushes available from other sources. Read this  Liver and Gall Flush from such other sources. Pradheep has personally tried few flushes with the Epsom (magnesium salt). It looks safe and effective in removing gall stones. But we recommend to do the following tips given in this page to soften the stones to allow them to pass through without any problem doing flushes.

    Water Therapy :   We generally recommend doing Water Therapy  to cleanse the intestines and liver. Drink 1.5 liters of water first in the morning, using mild amount of flavors like ginger, cumin seeds, mint leaves, cardamom, coriander seeds, Sarsparilla root powder, hibiscus flowers etc)  for better results.

Eat fermented rice  and or  fermented barley for more almost 2 to 3 weeks. Barley is known to prevent gall stones.

Earth Therapy:  Fiber-rich foods absorb fats not only in foods , but also make the bile to be secreted more to the stomach, causes changes in fat levels in the body. We recommend using fiber rich whole grains like brown rice (remember to soak in water and cook), whole rye flakes (33% fiber compared to 20% fiber in oats), whole wheat flakes (28%), barley flakes (26%). Millets like Ragi rich in fiber. In all ancient traditions, people ate different types of grains and millets  many of the readers might be unaware of the names.  These millets give different nourishment that help prevent many diseases like cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer etc.  millet, kodo-millet.

It is generally thought that just by reducing fat intake one could lower fats.  There are many interesting studies that experimental animals when fed with zero fat still had high fat levels when given refined foods. So it is the refined foods that are converted into fats. Our suggestion is to eat more of different types of grains instead of eating only rice and wheat.  Just by changing grains one could see the difference in the fat metabolism.

    We have several patients who had levels of cholesterol and triglyceride changes by switching over to different types of grains.
