Question 1

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Since oil &amp; water (tears) don't mix and you are having visual problems it would be wise to consult your primary care doctor.

Question 2

i have gallstones, need gallbladder removed, heard drinking apple juice, olive oil n lemon juice passes the stones, one is very large. does it work?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't work: This alleged gallstone flush results in the passage of concretions of oil that pass through the GI tract and are excreted in to the toilet, looking like "stones". The only way to actually remove the stones is to surgically remove the gallbladder. We could only wish it were that easy.  Hope this helps!
