If you suffer from gallstones, should you take statins? One journal says yes...
The Journal of the American Medical Association has come up with a novel way to stop gallstones. All you have to do is take statins. It really is that simple and it really does work.

Here's why it works. It's well known that statins turn off your liver's production of cholesterol. When you have less cholesterol in your bile, you have fewer stones. That's all there is to it.

If you have higher than desirable cholesterol, and are concerned about your risk for gallstones, please consider PhosChol. Take one softgel daily. It is a super formulation of essential phospholipids that can help keep cholesterol from hardening in your bile.
