Dissolving Gallstones

[Guest guest]

There are 10,000 sites for flushing stones but very few about dissolving. Each

person also has their own preferences that they are drawn to, for instance, I

have NOT YET gone to the Chinese Tradtional System, but I think I SHOULD

have added that one, or really I think I should have started there.TCM sees

the condition as DAMP HEAT and they know exactly what to do for that

condition. a 5000+ year old plan, in fact. I am following the work found on the

Chang website. I think I'd go acupuncture, herbs and their diet if

starting

over.

Anyway here's what worked for me. I don't know what worked nor what I

could have skipped. I think it ALL worked. It may sound extreme, but you

have no idea of how much I distrust doctors and hospitals (I also have no

health insurance) and how much I hate being sick and vulnerable. To me,

surgical penetration is like some kind of body rape. I will go to extremes to

avoid it (if alternatives exist). This whole thing hit me like a baseball bat to

the

forehead. Pain works for me! I think I am now far healthier than I have been

in decades.

1) Raw organic apple juice 3-5 times a day with 50 drops of hydrangia

tincture (HerbPharm) in each glassful. I did this for a month and then stopped

the hydrangia for a while. I'm back on it now for another month following the

passage of a bunch of stones. I think a new batch of rocks may come in from

the liver when you move some out. Fortunately, it's delicious.

2) Gradually increased my daily intake of raw butter, raw milk and cream,

meat fats, fatty fish (grilled or sushi), organic coconut oil (2 tbsp/day), and

other good fats. Also 2 tbsp flavored cod liver oil a day. It pays to go slow

with

this if you are not used to it. I eat about a half stick of raw butter a day

with

my food. Incidentally, all this kind of good fat will cause you to naturally

lose a

ton weight.

3) Enzymes. Lots of them. I use Tymezyme and take 3 capsules before

meals and at bedtime. If I am inflammed, I double the amount.

4) Stone Free (Planetary Formulas) 2 tabs 3X/day, it's tumeric, dandelion

root, gravel root, ginger and others. I've recently replaced this with the

Chinese combo GB-6 (Health Concerns). Contains 6 different herbs, mainly

curcuma, corydalis, dandelion and melia root. Again, off the Chang site.

I will soon add her Gold Coin Grass tea as well.

5) Bio-Cyanidins (Biotics Research) 2 tabs 3X/day. Pycnogenol and Grape

seed extract.

6) Vitamin C. I use an Ester C with bioflavinoids and rutins. 2-3 grams/day. I

also took my normal multi-vitamins and minerals.

7) DIET: Stopped all fried foods, super-spicy foods, raw onions, coffee (that

one is up to you, I switched to a barley, dandelion, chicory mix), most sugary

desserts, and cut down on the bread. I upped the meat, dairy, salads (big

time) and vegetables. I focused on beets, carrots, root vegetables like turnips

and rutebagas, and lots of greens. I try to get wheat grass as often as

possible (powerful!) and drink good water all day long. If there is any hint of

an attack I fast for several days, water only. I make a fat smoothie every day

consisting of raw milk, raw cream, eggs, coconut oil, fruit and spices.

8) I needed to move the chi so I work out for an hour every day. For a variety

of the usual excuses, I had quit exercising. I had busted a knee in '02 that

laid

me up and set up the groundwork for the sludging of my liver, et.al. Mostly

recumbent bicycle, swimming, Nautilus machines, walking, and stretching

exercises. I try to make it aerobic as possible. I take a long hot tub soak

daily.

There can be no good cure without the exercise part.

9) Weight loss. I had a gut which I lost. I think excess food clogging the whole

body is why Americans have so many problems. Something has to blow when

you chronically put too much gasoline into the carburetor. There can be no

good cure if you are fat.

10) Stress management. This was the hardest. I have a hard time sitting still

so I relied on the exercise to help with breathing (you can breathe your way

out of---or into--- just about any attack!), yoga, hot tubbing, meditation,

letting

go, I quit following the news of the administration (that was big in why I got

sick, I think) and dropped some publications and websites. The castor oil hot

packs slow you down and give you an opportunity to relax, slow down, and

enjoy it. I made Sleepy Time tea and drank gallons of chamomile tea. When

really stressed I would take Rescue Remedy (a god send!). A bit of red wine

helped too. Laughing is one of the best of all cures.

I am curious what others have used that I left out. Seems like I learn

something new every day.
