Can drink juice and vegetable oil discharge gallstone? Doctor of pharmacy: fake

In recent years, there is a "stone removing therapy" on the Internet, which claims that gallstones can be eliminated only by drinking vegetable oil (olive oil or linseed oil, etc.) and fruit juice (lemon juice or apple juice, etc., some versions need to be combined with fasting and laxatives) Recently, as a doctor of pharmacy, the netizen "window knocks on the rain" posted an article on the shell website, citing classics to prove that this statement is false It is not known that drinking fruit juice and vegetable oil has little effect on the dissolution of gallstones Gallstones are generally formed due to the change of bile composition and the separation of solid substances The most common situation is that the cholesterol concentration in the bile is too high, which leads to the supersaturation of the solution and the crystallization of cholesterol In addition, bile pigment and other components can also form stones "Window knocking on the rain" said that there is indeed a treatment method to dissolve gallstones with organic solvent (currently this treatment is not the first choice), but it is also necessary to infuse the solvent into the gallbladder to work, rather than drink the solvent Therefore, drinking olive oil directly does not help to dissolve gallstones From the aspect of chemical properties, juice is not helpful to dissolve gallstones The main ingredients in fruit juice are water, some sugars, acids and minerals None of these ingredients have any effect on gallstones As for excretion of gallstones, eating foods rich in fat can promote gallbladder contraction and excretion of bile Some gallstones of small size may also be excreted at the same time However, this effect on the exclusion of gallstones is very limited Drinking juice and vegetable oil is not gallstones Although there is no evidence that vegetable oil and fruit juice are helpful for gallstones removal, many people who try this method find that they really discharge a lot of massive "stones" "Window knocks rain" say, this is not gallstone actually New Zealand researchers confirmed through analysis that these "stones" are actually water-insoluble fatty acid salts produced by the combination of fat and juice in the stomach, similar to the saponification reaction in the production of soap "Window knocking rain" suggests that surgery is still the most effective treatment for gallstones that need to be treated, and endoscopic lithotomy is also an optional option In addition, drugs can also help the treatment The asymptomatic gallstones should be followed up regularly.
