Cooked fats and fried foods are the most common cause of a disorganized gall bladder function, see paragraph on Biliousness. Gallstones and gravel, however, are the accumulation of inorganic calcium and other inorganic matter collecting in the gall
bladder due to the inability of the system to
assimilate them. All starch, bread and grain products
are full of such inorganic calcium. Eating plenty of
these may tend to furnish a plentiful crop of
gallstones and gravel. The juice of a lemon in a glass
of hot water, without sweetening taken several times
a day for 3 or 4 weeks has helped to dissolve these
stones, when the other juices indicated herein were
used daily over the same period of time. Nature never
intended that man's gall bladder be removed by an
operation.The gall bladder is essential to the proper
functioning of the liver. Our body is our own,
however, and if we are, through ignorance of its
functioning, ready and willing to submit it to the
practicing of surgery, there is no one we can blame
but ourselves.
