The liver is the largest organ of the body. Amongst the various functions of the liver, one of the function is the emulsification of fats or lipids. The liver secretes the bile which helps to emulsify the fats. The bile is stored in the gall bladder and released periodically. Some times the gall in the gall bladder hardens into a stone like structure causing Gallstone. Bile contains water, cholesterol, fats, bile salts, proteins, and bilirubin -a waste product. Bile salts break up fat, and bilirubin gives bile and stool a yellowish-brown color. If the liquid bile contains too much cholesterol, bile salts, or bilirubin, it can harden into Gallstone. The two types of Gallstones are cholesterol stones and pigment stones. Cholesterol stones are usually yellow-green and are made primarily of hardened cholesterol. They account for about 80 percent of Gallstones. Pigment stones are small, dark stones made of bilirubin. Gallstones can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball.

After an excessive
research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass?
And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
