If I may add my .o2 cents as well, I do not suffer from gall stones, but..... the reason I think we all stand a better chance with this diet, is because we are combining early man eating with modern medicine. True, not all medicines work, now do surgeries, but if i have an illness or disease that can not be helped from natural herbs, then i am off to my Dr. If I have cancer, I am not going to risk drinking water for 3 days hoping it goes away. A slight exageration but well placed.
