High cholestral counts can " sometimes " indicated a fatty liver...and

from I have been able to find out in alternative thinking....heart

disease and fatty livers go hand in hand...though not always the

other way around.

An elevated whiteblood count could indicate an infection...or that

your body is attempting to fight of something it considera as harmful

to the body. My UA's, when I came in with pain in th GB area, kept

boucing back and forth with slightly elevated lykocytes (Sp)...which

are white blood that have died off and are being flushed by the UA

system. My Dr. misthought I had UA infection...but treatment failed

to change the UA results.

She immediatly

I too had an ultrasound that came back normal...meaning no " hardened "

stones that could " easily " be seen. Soft stones frequently will not

show up on these kinds of test. The only thing that might show is an

enlarged GB or an VERY progressed fatty liver.

Sounds familiar...I was doing everything I was told...even did a

marathon and worked with dieticians and trainers...and still I gained

weight, got sicker, and more and more fustrated. Being a life long

vegetarian, I even started to wonder if it was because of that, and

considered trying to (ugh) add some meat into my diet. (Hearing

about that Atkins Diet and Blood Type diet (an O type here) started

me doubting that conviction :~)

> chronically constipated.

This a common symptom from having a sluggish liver....that or food

moving through too fast and being poorly digested. Not enough bile

and digestive juices are being produced to properly digest the foods

eaten. As Americans, we have a tendency to avoid eating enough bile

stimulting foods (bitters) in the diet. It is also a common problem

from eating too much cooked or dehydrted foods. When constipated,

not having enough fluids in the diet, can cause your body to suck

what it needs elsewhere for your digestive track....causing it to

slow down and then compound the problem by increasing symptoms of ill

health from reabsorbtion of what your body has determined is waste to

be expelled.

I am soo frustrated and i am at my wits end

Yes, much of what you are saying sounds familiar. The flushes proved

to me I had a sluggish and backed up liver and gallbladder. With 8

flushes (actually 12...because 4 of the first flushes had to be done

2 nights in a row to get my GB to respond). With those, my pain

levels were reduced significantly and I lost 25 pounds...without any

changes to my diet or activity levels. With changes to my diet

(about 95% raw now), random flushes when my body tells me I might

need one...I have continued to slowly loose weight, have no pain (as

long as I don't eat the foods I now think caused the problem in the

first place), have few of the signs of the other health concerns that

used to bother me...and I have been told that I look much more

radiant, younger, and healthier. I am constantly getting compliments

now on how healthy my skin and hair looks...especially right after I

do a flush :~) All that oil is good for multiple things.

Blessings,
