Greetings Julia,
I wanted to let you know that my husband and I consider finding you and your products a real miracle! Since he's been taking the Golden Coin Grass/ Coptis Sausurea/ Curcuma Bupleurum combination there have been only 2 instances that he began to have a gallbladder attack. On each of these times (at night), he took the Coptis-Curcuma combination and literally, within seconds -- the pain and inflamation were gone !! What a tremendous difference from the monthly agonizing attacks ! I guess the next step is to do the flush, but Raymond supposedly has numerous small stones and we're a bit afraid of one of them getting lodged in the bile duct. (If you have any supporting words about doing the flush witht the small stones as opposed to the larger stones, we'd love to hear it :-> )
Follow-up, dated 2004-12-14:
You may remember us from a couple of years ago when we lived in NY - we were buying all your gallbladder remedies in bulk for my husband. (Everything worked out beautifully, by the way, thank you again!).
Thank you,
Krystyn B & Raymond S

Hi Julia,
I wanted to pass along my gratitude for helping my resolve my gallstone problem. About four weeks ago I received the Gold Coin Grass and Curcuma with Bupleurum and began taking both immediately. After the first week I notice the stone stuck in my cystic duct or bile duct had been dislodge and immediate relief from pain. After taking both tincture for another week I began a two week intestinal cleansing and detoxification program. And then last Saturday I began the liver/gall bladder flush and on Sunday I passed close to 500 stones ranging in size from as large as a quarter to as small as a grain of sand. I believe I am on the road to total recovery (I want to do a few more flushes) and will practice annual maintenance to prevent such situation from recurring.
Once again thank you very much for your warm and friendly guidance.
Gratefully yours,
Mike

We've done it! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
As you know, my gallbladder attacks started in mid July. In August, Ultrasounds showed gallstones (with one stone approx. 1.5cm across, according to the Radiologist).
After getting no results from Olive Oil/Lemon Juice or Olive Oil/Grapefruit Juice flushes (multiple flushes yielded no stones, even after apple juice fasting), I began herbal therapy in September (large doses of Lysimachiae Christina in tablet and tea form, along with preparations made from Lysimachia Christina and Pig Bile). I also started using your Gold Coin Grass formula in September.
Even with periodic Olive Oil flushes (which did start yielding stones, after beginning the Gold Coin Grass therapy), my condition continued to deteriorate, where I was unable to eat any food containing fat, without having a severe gallbladder attack, where I was "bent over double" from agonizing pain, all night long.
Then, I finally made a significant breakthrough last Sunday night (Oct. 31), when I did my second flush in three days, preceded by Epson Salts and warm water at two hour intervals before the flush. Nine large yellow/green stones (between pea and peanut size) came out the next day (Nov. 1), along with a lot of smaller pieces and debris.. I have been feeling better and better since. I performed one more flush this past Friday night (Nov. 5), and got several smaller pieces, and even more smaller debris.
I have been feeling lots of bile flow in my right side since the November 5th flush. We've finally unclogged my liver, biliary ducts and gallbladder! Last night, I went out to eat to test the results.
I ate a Caesar Salad with real egg and lots of cheese, along with a loaf of homemade bread with real butter to start off. Then I ate a large steak (Filet Mignon of course), with Grilled Salmon Steak, Shrimp, Rice and Peas. For desert, I ate a large piece of "Lemon/Lime" Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce. I was feeling so good, I couldn't resist eating two ice cream bars when I got home, for good measure. My wife was worried and scared that I would have my worst attack ever, but I was confident that the stones were gone.
I was right! I had no Gallbladder attack last night, and my food actually digested (in recent weeks, the food was coming out the same way it went in at times, and stayed yellow for the most part the rest of the time). Not now! My stool was dark brown and firm this morning. I can hardly believe it. Over the course of my sickness, I have lost 4 inches in my waist (from a 38" waist to a 34" waist) and over 30 pounds of body weight (from about 190 pounds to 160 pounds). Even one bite of steak would set off a severe gallbladder attack lasting many hours, prior to the last two Olive Oil flushes. In fact, the worst attack I've had lately came from eating a single piece of skinless grilled chicken breast (a big mistake at the time), causing me to be bent over double in agony for over 8 hours, taking strong pain killers and muscle relaxers.
If it weren't for your support, I would have never had the willpower to get through this very difficult past few months. I have had many, many, severe attacks, that severely tried my desire to keep my gallbladder, but I'm glad that I persevered.
The doctors said that the herbs would not work. After reviewing the results from the Ultrasound, a surgeon told me that my gallbladder would have to come out. He explained why the herbs would not work for me (stones too large, ducts too small, etc.), and told me to schedule the surgery, and go straight to the hospital if I had another attack in the interim, and call him from there. Believe me, it was very hard not to go to the hospital during my severest attacks (I've had many attacks since the doctors told me that my gallbladder would have to be removed). They were wrong!!!!!!
We've finally done it! I can eat without attacks again. To eat real food again is wonderful! My dinner last night was fantastic.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your help and support, and feel free to use me as a reference for your products. They work.
Best Wishes for Continued Success!

Dear Julia,
I'm sitting here in our den after dinner this Sunday evening watching our Green Bay Packers on tv, and yet my thoughts go to you and your "sensible" products. It was about two months ago that I sent my first order to you with an outline of my health situation. With my product shipment you sent an assuring note that made sense of my symptoms. Although I'd had various symptoms for years it wasn't until I could hardly function at work or home this summer that I began looking for help with some urgency. Apparently I was fortunate to discover your webpage. It never occurred to me that one common ailment could cause my problems. To make a long story short, I am over halfway through your process and can hardly believe the change in me. Eating is again a pleasure and I find myself eating things like dairy products and fried foods. Thank you, Julia.
Thank you for your knowledge, courage, and ingenuity. God bless.
Best regards,
Paul K

Good Day Julia;
I talked with you a few months back regarding a gallbladder problem I have had. I also used your Gold Coin [Grass] as a preempt to doing my cleanses. As of this date I have done five and I am without stones according to an ultrasound done about a month or so ago. However, I had taken some pictures of stones that I had passed on my third flush done around May and thought you may want to see just how large they were. Needless to say I was! It isn't what I would call a beautiful picture of a landscape or something to that effect but then it is in line with our common interest in health. I can only hope you appreciate the reason for my sending you this because it isn't being sent to all my friends and relatives.

From Deb J, dated 2000-03-04:
Dear Julia,
I am on the 3rd day of a fast and yesterday I passed about 6 stones without flushing them. Some green & 2 were white, round & hard like clay, all the way through. Do you think it is because of the bitters that I am continuing to take while I am fasting on apple juice?
I feel really great. No pain in that area at all. I will continue to fast for 7 more days & then I am going to flush. I will follow that with GCG and then another flush.
It has been about one year that I have been working on the stones. Altogether I have passed about 140 of them that I was able to count. Some were in peices and I could not count them. I feel weaker than usual on this juice fast. Do you think that it is because of the Chinese Bitters? Other than that I am having no side effects.
One year ago I wore a size 18-20 dress & now I wear a size 8!!!!!! That has been a good side effect from getting these stones. My husband says that now I have become a shop-aholic for clothes, but he loves my new body. I don't know if you will be able to see it or not but I am going to send you a picture of the new me. I will send an old one when I was heavy & a new. I have lost 10 pounds since this picture but have not taken pictures since.
Thank you for all of your help on what to eat & how to rid myself of the stones. I look forward to being completely free of them.
Write soon,
Deb
From Timothy T, dated 2003-05-08:
Dear Julia:
When I started taking GCG on 1/18/03, my gallbladder was full (literally) with sludge and non-specific stones (unable to determine size and number due to thickness of sludge). I recently had another ultrasound on 4/30/03. I got the doctor's report today. The sludge is "completely" gone, or the condition "resolved" per the doctor's notes. I have one "small" (approximately 25mm) gallstone. I am amazed. By the way, so is my doctor. I plan to continue the GCG until the remaining stone is gone.
Thank You Julia. I sincerely believe that the GCG and a radical change in my diet has produced these results. I think I will be able to keep my gallbladder after all.
Again - Thank You!
Follow-up, dated 2003-05-13
My mistake on the stone size. The doctor showed me the pictures from the ultrasounds (before and after). We saw one stone. I asked him about the size. He estimated about a quarter of an inch in diameter (I don't know why I translated it to 25MM?). He even mentioned that there was a possibility that I might pass the stone. He was very amazed at the difference between the "before" scan and the new one. The "before" scan was completely clouded "filled" with sludge. It was hard to make out any specific outlines of any stones. The new scan was completely "clear" (no sludge), with the specific outline of one small stone. I plan to continue taking the GCG until the remaining stone either dissolves or passes.
Thanks again!
From Phil B, dated 2004-10-03:
I've just ordered a bottle of GOLD COIN GRASS and I can well attest to the amazing action of this tincture.
Three or four years ago I had my first bout with gallstones. I felt very ill and did not want to undergo surgery. I went to the web and was lucky enough to find your website. I read all of your information and began a gallbladder flush right away. I only passed a few stones and still felt poorly.
I called you and talked with you about my situation. At that time I was going through a bit of a bad time financially and you were very kind in giving me a special deal on pricing as well as expediting the shipping. The GOLD COIN GRASS worked immediately. I began to feel better and when I performed the next flush I passed over (approximately) 300 stones.
Unfortunately for me, I have not been faithful in regular maintenance and am feeling the onset of another bout with my gallbladder. Thanks to your kindness and concern as well as your wonderful products I now know what to do and will continue to come to you whenever the need may strike.
Once again, many thanks.
Best Regards,
Phil B
From Barbara M, 2004-11-21:
First, THANK YOU for the gallstone treatment. My husband was scheduled for surgery, however I told him about your flush - we did it together and passed a lot of stones. He hasn't had any more pain and, he didn't go in for surgery.

Hello
Just wanted to say this is the single most greatest website I have ever found.
I am a TCM student who also suffered from gallstones. This site has helped me immensely not only with my own health but with my personal studies at school also.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH
I have gotten rid of my allergies and menstrual cramps in addition to helping my gallbladder problems.
Sincerely,

My name is Juan C. I live in the USA but I was born in Mexico.
My grandfather (on my mother side) dedicated his life on treating and healing people with herbal remedies. Herbs mainly available in Mexico and some in other parts of the world.
I want to thank you for your wonderful remedy for gallbladder stones. My wife Rosa was detected having these stones and one of them 3 cm big. She had horrible pain but your GCG helped her very much.
I have ordered the new combined pack you have to have her flush them.
All the Best!

From Doris W, dated 2006-09-06:
My mother took 1 Tbs each of Coptis and Curcuma last night and had a good night's sleep without gall bladder pain! We were both very relieved. I will have to make sure she does not run out of it again. Thank you ever so much for all the help you offer!
Wishing you much health,
Doris W
From Ellen S, dated 2006-12-16:
First, I want to say that after taking Chinese Bitters and GCG last year, I am free of gallbladder attacks! As my first flush did not work well (only a few stones), you advised me to use Chinese Bitters before taking GCG, and then do the flush again. I was unable to complete the second flush because of nausea, but the herbs worked without the flush. The stones seemed to have been broken up and passed through my stool, as I could see beige specks for some time afterward.
I plan to do yearly maintenance cleanses from now on.
Thank you,
Ellen S
From Linda A, dated 2007-02-13:
Thank you very much for your help. Your Gold Coin Grass is the absolute best! It pulled me out of heading for some real pain. I've never had pain because of it. Because I caught it in time after finding your product. I know it dissolved my little stones (I had lots of small stones I was told) to sand a year or two ago. I had evidence with every bowel movement! Thank you guys, you are a life saver. I can feel that it's time to do it again and proceed to the flush this time.
Thanks again. Sincerely,
Linda
From Omar F, dated 2007-03-02:
I am emailing you to tell you about my experience with the Liver flush/ Gallbladder cleanse on your website. I am currently on the third day of the flush. All I can say is that I am truly amazed by the results thus far. I had been having gallbladder discomfort for some weeks prior to the flush when I came across your website. I read about the symptoms of gallbladder pain (I could definitely relate) on a Tuesday. Tuesday night I went to the supermarket and bought some apple cider. I had the other ingredients in my pantry at home. I started the cleanse the next day. The fasting was relatively easy, as I had fasted in the past. Thursday night, my second day on the cleanse(9PM), I drank the 1/2 cup of lemon juice and 1/2 cup of olive oil (which wasn't as bad as I expected). I laid on my right side immediately after and stayed in that position for at least 1 hour. During the night I became quite noxious, and did not sleep very well. At 5am I had the urge to use the restroom. I was amazed at what I saw. As I mentioned, I had fasted and cleansed in the past, but I never achieved the same results. Although the stones were different than I expected, they were there. They were a dark green, almost black in color. In my first movement, they were quite large. On the second, they were smaller, about the size of peas. By my third movement, they were quite smaller. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical the night before, but now I truly believe. I drank the saltwater at about 5:15, and went back to bed. I feel great as I am writing, and know that I will definitely use your cleanse again. My pain has completely subsided! Thanks for the honest advice.
I should also comment on the Liver cleanse- On my first day of the fast, I immediately had the urge to use the restroom. I believe that I did expel the extra bile from my liver, as it was watery, and yellow. I never knew the acidic properties in cider were that powerful.
Once again, thank you for your honest advice. I feel great!
From Sue S, dated 2007-03-07:
I don't know what position you hold at the company, but I wanted to let some one know that my husband has cancelled his gall bladder surgery because the Gold Coin Grass has diminished his symptoms substantially. Thank you , thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
From Sandy S, dated 2007-04-08:
I just wanted to thank you so much for this website. I only wish I knew about this years ago. The most current health issue I have is IBS. When I went to the doctor about 10 years ago with pains in my lower right side I was diagnosed with IBS. During the diagnoses they found pools of blood vessels in my liver. At the time they said they were very small and nothing to worry about. Over the next couple of years I had to have a hysterectomy because of endometriosis and was placed on estrogen. After taking the estrogen for a couple of years the pools of blood vessels began to grow, but again I was told by the doctors not to worry about them because they were not cancer. I stopped taking the estrogen and the pools of blood vessels stopped growing. I still suffered from IBS and was taking medications. I have always suffered from neck and shoulder pain thinking it was my spine being out of alignment.
One day I have a very painful attack on my right side. When I called my doctor they told me that they thought it could be my gallbladder but they still had the ultrasound from 6 month prior and did not see anything that would indicate gallbladder. At that time I searched the Internet to see what symptoms of gallbladder problems and found your website. I thought I would take a chance and give the gallbladder flush a try. I just finish the flush and I feel so much better!!!! I am going to schedule an appointment to have the ultrasound done to see if I still have the pools of blood vessels in my liver. I can tell you since I have been drinking the warm water first thing in the morning I have not had the symptoms of the IBS and have not had to take my medication since I started the morning water. Just one day after the flush I feel better than I have ever felt. If you would like I would be glad to write you the results of my tests. Thank you again so much for your website and your products!!
Sandy
From Anthony B, dated 2007-04-19:
I have used your gall bladder/liver tinctures with great success. I was able to release hundreds and hundreds of stones with no pain. They were green and varied in sizes from pinhead to peanut size. I also released lots of stagnant bile that smelled bad, was greenish in color and looked like tubes of cut up spaghetti!! YUCK!!
Thanks for the products.

From Scott H, dated 2007-05-31:
Hi I had gallstones, and was sent to a surgeon after these were found via sonogram. I did 2-3 flushes and went through 2 bottles of GCG. about a year or 2 later I had another sonogram and no gallstones!
Thanks a million!
