Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Sounds like you not only have some time and options; but a fighting spirit too. Think you might be really successful at this. Think about either apricot pit, Jamaican dogwood (most powerful), or wild cherry bark to relax the smooth muscle of the gallbladder and bile duct, as well as the obvious magnesium in whatever form you choose. Malic acid and lecithin will be softening and emulsifying to the stones too. Good luck, prove him wrong.

He now says it is not completely closed, but since more material is getting in than going out, it will soon rupture and lead to peritonitis. To avoid this " likelihood " , I must operate it, he says. Actually, he seems to have failed to notice that when I had my gallbladder attacks (so far about 10), the pain has always been centralized exactly at the junction of the common bile duct with the small intestine. According to another doctor, this shows that the pain, lasting a few hours with sweating and malaise, has indeed come from stones attempting to pass into the small intestine and getting stuck at the sphincter. So they have become " common bile duct stones " . It also shows that sufficient material is leaving the gallbladder in direct contrast to what the first doctor said. The massively elevated liver enzymes,including gamma-GTP at about 1000 (normal is 50-70), would certainly seem to indicate some blockage of the common bile duct as well as the cystic duct. I found yesterday that punching a pillow with aggressive force was able to relieve the mild pain I had very quickly. It is a fact that exercise prevents gallstone problems, and I would imagine that exercise of the upper body, as in boxing, is exactly the most beneficial kind for the upper GI tract (whereas football would benefit the colon and lower GI tract). It would tend to dislodge the stones and sludge, as well as toning up the whole biliary tree. So I am thinking of getting a PUNCH BAG to hit. Unless you want to be a professional boxer, please don't hang the bag at eye level where it could rebound and hit your head and eyes: tie it up so that it is at chest height.

And let's take a PET bottle filled with a solution of 1 tsp of magnesium citrate in water or juice to the ring. I want a clean fight.... Yes, occasional dilation of the ducts with magnesium citrate would help to keep them open so that existing sludge could drain more easily, and stones could pass.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Yes Dave, I only got the problem after eating fats late at night. Evidently, each time I did so a large stone may have been expelled into the CBD by the gallbladder, and got lodged at the sphincter. I note the attacks have been getting a little less severe over the past year, it could indicate the stones are getting smaller. Apricot pits (laetrile?) are difficult to get and may contain cyanide? I am going to take a " Gallbladder Support Formula " 5 times a day as part of an aggressive " dissolving " program over 1 week. It contains quercetin, taurine, malic acid, choline, inositol and IP6 rice bran extract, plus L-methionine. I also have Fringe Tree Bark and Wild Yam tincture on hand. And I take a Chinese custom-made mix morning and night. I have magnesium citrate available but I will check out the Jamaican dogwood and cherry bark.

Uh hu, are difficult to get and may contain cyanide? Cyanic glycoside. Some consider it to be vitamin B 17 (myself included) and an essential nutrient for human health. Found in the outer layer of all seeds, nuts, and grains; presently milled out of our modern day diets. Quite relaxing to smooth muscle. Very non toxic to normal tissue (not so good for cancer after it splits the sugar off). You can find them as bitter almond or apricot pit at any Chinese herb store here in the US. I am going to take a " Gallbladder Support Formula " 5 times a day as part of an aggressive " dissolving " program over 1 week. May take longer.
