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.
