In this substantially expanded and updated edition of the world-famous bestseller, Andreas Moritz reveals the most common—but rarely admitted—cause of illness: the blockage of the liver’s bile ducts by stones. The book helps you understand the complex functions the liver performs, what consequences result from the formation of stones in this organ and in the gallbladder, and why this condition is the cause of the most widespread diseases in the modern world. It allows you to determine for yourself whether you have stones and to take independent measures to remove them painlessly at home.
