" Usually, there are a lot of other problems  leading to cancer. In my research in China , I came across some  materials which say that people with cancer  usually have stones. We all have gallstones.  It's a matter of big or small, many or few. One of the symptoms of gallstones is a feeling  of bloatedness after a heavy meal. You feel like  you can't digest the food. If it gets more serious,  you feel pain in the liver area."      So if you think you have gallstones, Chiu Nan offers  the following method to remove them naturally. The treatment is also good for those with  a weak liver, because the liver and gallbladder  are closely linked. Regimen:   1. For the first five days, take four glasses  of apple juice every day. Or eat four or five apples,  whichever you prefer. Apple juice softens  the gallstones. During the five days, eat normally.   2. On the sixth day, take no dinner.   3. At 6 PM, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt  (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water.   4. At 8 PM, repeat the same. Magnesium sulphate  opens the gallbladder ducts.   5. At 10 PM, take half cup olive oil  (or sesame oil) with half cup fresh lemon juice.  Mix it well and drink it. The oil lubricates the stones  to ease their passage.   PS. 1cup=250ml, 1 cup lemon juice = 3 lemons (approx.)  The next morning, you will find green stones  in your stools. "Usually they float," Chiu Nan notes.  "You might want to count them. I have had people  who passed 40, 50 or up to 100 stones. Very many." "Even if you don't have any symptoms of  gallstones, you still might have some.  It's always good to give your gall bladder  a clean-up now and then.  PASS THIS AND YOU MAY HELP OTHERS!

How are Kidney Stones Formed?

As Kidneys filter our blood, it removes excess water and WASTES from it. The filtered water and wastes from our blood is a chemical solution called URINE, is initially stored in our renal pelvis, found in the middle of each kidney. Many of Urine's chemical substances are sparingly soluble, any excess in these substances can form crystals.

Kidney Stones

The crystals grow over a period of time and may become stones.

What are the chemical substances that normally form stones?

• calcium, phosphate, oxalate, uric acid and cystine.

Most of these minerals are present in the urine in a concentration level that they are soluble. The urine of people with kidney stones contains these minerals at a higher concentration and has a tendency to form crystals more easily.

The presence of crystals in the urine does not always lead to formation of stones in the urinary tract. Normal people tend to pass this crystals in their urine and never develop kidney stones.

• Stress

Kidney Overview

Our kidneys are large bean shaped organs in our abdomen, located below the ribs. Kidneys approximate size is around 5" long and 2" thick, about the same size of our fist.

Kidneys

As a part of the Urinary tract, Kidneys make urine by removing extra water and wastes from our blood. About one hundred eighty liters of blood is filtered by our kidneys everyday, where about one and a half liters of urine were formed.

Urine collects in a hollow space called the renal pelvis in the middle of each kidney. Urine passes from your renal pelvis into your bladder through a long tube called a ureter. Urine leaves your bladder through a shorter tube called urethra.

Kidneys also make substances to help control blood pressure and to make red blood cells.
