newby..have appt for surgery consult

[Guest guest]

Hi: I look forward to hearing from you. My situation is as follows: In Feb.

2004, I had laid

down to put my son to sleep and noticed my heart was racing...I got up and sat

down in

my living room...within one minute, I developed the most intense, crushing chest

pain/mid

back pain...I felt like I was being squeezed by two elephants, one in the front

of me and

one in the back. Took my BP and it was very high, 192/92 (I do take HBP

meds).....and

woke my partner..went to the ER, where I remained for 8 hours following lots of

tests.

After one hour of the beginning of this pain 10/10 (far worst than childbirth!),

the pain

was gone. EKG was normal as was cardiac marker blood work. Abdominal ultrasound

showed enlarged, fatty infiltration of the liver; enlarged spleen; and

gallbladder with lots

of small, tiny stones. The ER doc was fixated on the gallbladder and said I

needed to see a

surgeon to have it removed ASAP.

I was referred to a gastroenterologist within a week....meanwhile, I had a

second attack,

but this time, I stayed home and did not go to the ER..pain went away in 1 hour.

Gastroenterologist wanted me to have a liver panel done and strongly recommended

the

removal of my gallbladder...he suspects the two attacks I have had (at this

point) were due

to the gallbladder. He also wants me to come in for an endoscopy...to rule out

GERD.

My liver panel came back with 2 of the enzymes 4 times the normal rate, the AST

and ALT,

so he ordered a liver biopsy. Liver biopsy showed no damage and no

inflammation...haven't gotten to talk in detail yet with the gastro doc as to

what has

caused these elevated enzymes.

Two days ago, I experienced another one of those " attacks " ..I was at work and

had to

promptly leave a client's home...I drove the hour back to my house in extreme

pain and

had to pull over due to feeling like I was going to be violently ill. This

attack lasted 1.5

hours but pain lingered for a total of 6 hours this time at 4/10 pain scale.

This occured

one hour after eating a very light lunch.

I feel very frustrated to have gallstones...I don't eat fried foods, nor set

foot in a fast food

joint...For the past 25 years, I ate a 98% vegetarian diet with 2% fish. Last

October, I

decided to start eating chicken and turkey again after 25 years. I am very

overweight, 44

and a mom...so I do fit the 4 " F's " profile, but definitely not dietarily.

Question: I have been scared by the MD's report if one of these small stones

get stuck in

my pancreatic duct or other ducts, that this could be fatal or I might need the

emergency

surgery rather than the laproscopy. Has anyone else had a similar history to

mine and

been able to pass these stones with using the cleanse method?

Thank you,

Tina

Tina, I think you came to the right place. I have certainly been in the same

boat you are in, my nightmare began last August, and I had the same scene

with the gastroenterologists and surgeons practically drooling over my sore

gallbladder. I survived them and the hospital, got out, where I could begin the

REAL healing. I didn't have any surgery nor do I ever plan on it.

I'd say you are facing a fork in the road, you can continue your lifestyle which

will be the door to many, many surgeries (this is just the beginning), OR

change (slowly) and be healthy again. You won't be able to stay the same

and still be free of hovering surgeons. By changing, you should be able kiss

your HBP Rx bye-bye as well.

For getting through the crisis you are facing:

!) Read everything on the cure zone website about attacks and home-cure

2) Make an " emergency kit " and carry it with you basically at all times (I put

it

in a fanny pack). I keep a bottle of epsom salts, rescue remedy, and a few

other homeopathics and herbs. It works fast!

3) Do the cleansing fast soon (see cure zone) and regularly.

4) I think this is God's way of telling you to lose weight (or die). Less food

more exercise. It will be a long haul but also the best thing you ever did.

5) Walk, walk, walk, or swim, swim, swim. Hot tubs, saunas, move the

stagnated fluids out of your body. Be firm but never over-do it.

6) Start drinking the raw organic apple juice. I drank a big glass (not cold)

4-6X a day sipping it as I went. (or take malic acid in pill form)

7) Start the castor oil hot packs over the liver 2-3 times a day starting today.

8) Don't get any more liver biopsies. Ouch!

9) Avoid stress, meditate, breathe, do yoga, get foot massages, relax, laugh.

Best wishes, remember some people don't get this much warning to change

their ways, so, basically, I think we are LUCKY DUCKS.

Hi Will: can you tell me if you had an ultrasound and if so, what kind of stones

did you

have? What I am wondering is if their were lots of tiny, small stones or if you

had the

bigger ones?

The MD has me scared in terms of the possibility of one of the many small stones

I have

getting stuck in my duct and then needing emergency surgery.
