I know it is something I need to do to get totally healed. Dear Will: Congratulations on your one year anniversary and your trip to the State Fair. I went to Washington Georgia yesterday for lunch in a 1790's grande dame of a house complete with 18 massive columns. We ate chicken salad, mixed greens with nuts, heirloom tomatoes and brownies (I passed on the latter). I mention this since you enjoyed the Fair with a variety of foods and I have not eaten either mayo or sour cream (in the chicken salad) without incident since Jan 04 when I had my initial GB problems. I slept like a baby last night. My point is that you were given an opportunity for a gift of service with your GB/pancreatitis issues. You have learned valuable lessons which unlearned would have killed you earlier than you needed to die. And more importantly, you have shared what you have learned with tens of thousands of people. That is a major and important contribution and a good method of spiritual service. You have used this forum and your knowledge of chemistry AND alternative medicine to debunk much of the medical establishment's hocus pocus and you have crafted a reasonable workable dissolving plan which you can use for decades or until you figure out where gallstones come from (NO ONE in science has gotten that one sorted out yet). You have generously taken your time to write well crafted clear letters (or small essays) on the components of a healthy life. Those gems lie in the archives for posterity and I bet Suzanne or whomever is responsible, could put together a file with your main emails collected together so newcomers can get easy access to this information. No one can predict how many people unknown to you, across the globe, you have empowered and saved from a surgeon's knife. You have offered hope to those of us who felt hopeless; you have offered courage to those of us who were scared; you have offered self-empowerment when our lives felt out of control; you have offered grounding to all of us when the overwhelm broke our tether to reasonableness. And you offered these gifts with strong information, tough love and great humor (laughter always being the best medicine). Your horrifying 11 days last year gave you a chance to be of service to a much larger group than those you serve in Minneapolis. It gave you a chance to serve a large suffering population and you stepped up to the plate and I have watched you serve ably for the last 6 months. I am pretty savvy about many of these things (and more savvy thanks to this group). I avoided the allopathic medical establishment for 11 months in 2003 while I worked through an illness that brought me to my knees, so I entered this GB/Liv arena armed with more information than most people who have not had that experience. That being said, you have taught me something with every one of your posts -- starting with " make the suckers show you and GIVE you the lab tests-- " duh " . When you have those pieces of info YOU can then monitor your progress and the trends in your health. Your diet suggestions for liver/GB disease run counter to ALL the medical establishments -- allopathic and alternative. I know the Weston Price foundation and have tremendous respect for them and I believe that their ideas are intelligent and their diet works for a percentage of the population. While a half of stick of raw butter a day is not something I am willing to experiment with right now, I sure am in pursuit of better meat sources for my family and I have several other families standing by to see what I come up with. Your emails have sent me on that search. In today's email you are took on the subject of relationships and their impact on our health and how we need to heal our relationships to heal our bodies. Now, that is no small subject is it? How many of us found ourselves in hospitals from RELATIONSHIP stress? I bet statistically that may be the #1 cause of GB disease, if anyone had the intelligence to design a study to isolate it. Take a bow for how well you have fulfilled the vow I suspect you made in that hospital a year ago.. " if I get out of this thing alive, I am going to clean up my act and God, I promise I will share what I know to keep everyone I can out of this situation I find myself in. " Have a liver and buttered French bread sandwich, a glass of red wine where you toast IN GRATITUDE the gifts you have recd as a result of the ENTIRE GB/pancreatitis experience (doctors and all). When you are finished with your celebration (try toasting your wife who slept there WITHOUT painkillers, protecting you for that week, she deserves a couple of dozen roses as a thank you), then get back to your Google search engine or under the tree in your yard where you are reading your books and thinking about this whole subject. I await your next essay. In gratitude, (Atlanta) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 I would caution to not scare people though. Not all hospitals will one need a bodyguard to be a patient. Many people need the services of a doctor and hospital and it is best not to scare them. ----- Original Message ----- From: <mackarmstr@...> <gallstones > Sent: Saturday, August 28, 2004 11:51 AM Subject: Re: Scary times NOT !!! > In a message dated 8/28/2004 2:30:11 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > holistic@... writes: > > > > I know that I know I will be motivated for life to do the things I need to > > do to never have to go back into a hospital as a patient again.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 , your response was so much better than mine, so much gentler and understanding. I think your relationship inventory is doing you a ton of good, and maybe I need to REALLY be thinking about it more and posting less! Lucinda > > > I would caution to not scare people though.
