After being woken up early this morning by a gallbladder attack – and I hadn’t eaten anything that would set me off – I said enough is enough.

It’s apple fast time.

While I’m not keen on the amount of sugar I’ll be getting during the fast, it’s a specific acid in apples that will reduce the ‘spurs’ on my stones that I’m after. I’ll eat apples and drink apple juice (and water) for three days. On the evening of the third day, I’ll drink a grapefruit juice and olive oil combo that will cause my gallbladder to contract and squeeze the stones out.

This particular treatment for stones has a 100% success rate and comes from a naturopath I trust.

I’m feeling so cranky, nauseated and down right now. I’m tired, and I absolutely hate not knowing what’s going on in my body. I can handle anything so long as I know what it is.

But, come Friday morning, the stones should be well and truly gone, and I’ll be able to focus on what’s left.

Please forgive me for being cranky. I’ll be in a lot better mood on Friday.
