You have just blown your argument
It is normal for small stones to pass into the guts and be eliminated. Nothing to do with apple juice, just a simple mechanical matter. Every time you eat the gall bladder 'contracts' and excretes bile - that is what it is for. And if the stone is small enough and in the right position and free out it goes.
The problem is when the stone gets stuck blocking the duct from the gall bladder to the gut. The gall bladder still contracts, the pressure goes up, and you get pain.
So what does the apple jouce do - scientific answers with evidence please, not anecdotal response.
Interestingly I can't find a single case of a pilot being forced to have surgery by a regulator. That doesn't mean the odd person didn't have surgery and I am sure there are some surgeons out there who are a bit knife happy and desperate to operate on anyone, but the operation is not risk free. Anthony Eden almost died from it albeit the non keyhole method. We not infrequently get patients with complications who have to go through years of corrective surgery and couldn't possibly fly.
So if you have asymptomatic gall stones, the usual advice applies: ensure you see a surgeon who does lots of these operations. See a surgeon your GP says is an expert ( as opposed to the surgeon saying it himself!!!), and if necessary get two opinions.
Neither of them from Pprune
