Researchers in Mumbai have found that certain types of gallstones can be dissolved by injecting them with a gasoline additive in the form of ether. The ether is injected through a tube directly into a tube directly into the gallbladder. the one day treatment works only on cholesterol-based stones.

  • hundreds of people contains calcium stones   (True/False/Can't say)
