There are many Chinese in this world. Having worked in Asia for a number of years, I've known a number of colleagues who have succumb to Gall Stones.
So, one of my friends went to the friendly Chinese herbalist and put him on an apple/apple juice diet.
I've known two people who have used this treatment. They are STONE FREE...no surgery...no drugs. Here is a link to a remedy. There are several and they are all basically the same. Good luck!
