Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi , There is a liver flushing forum at http://curezone.com/forums/f.asp? f=447 If you're interested you can have a browse and read other peoples experiences. I know someone who's flushed and removed stones following the protocol.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi , If you want to do the flush I would work with someone who knows well how to do it; for instance, a chiropractor or Naturaopath. Where I used to live there were a few chiropractos who specialized in the procedure using Xrays to monitor as well as certain manipulations to aid in the passage of the stones. I know two people personally who had it done and were very pleased with the results (the stones actually passing). If the stones are small and you don't need surgery I would definitely try to keep your gallbladder. I certainly would have had I been in your situation; unfortunately, the only option for me was surgery. And, Yes, I was extremely ill with pain in the upper right quadrant radiating to the back and had great difficulty digesting oily substances with belching and extreme pain following. Toward the end, right before the surgery, I had to sleep almost sitting up because of pain and digestive problems whenever I would lie flat. All the best with whatever you decide. > > Thanks ev, > I've had an ultrasound.I only have the report which said I have > gallstones(plural).I guess when you get them > it's usually more than one. > My doctor did not seem concerned.Perhaps if they were of a larger size the > report would have stated this. > I will pick up the actual ultrasound today. > If yours was the size of an egg,Can I assume this they can grow? > Did you have obvious gallstones symptoms?Did you have attack after eating > certain foods? > I'm glad the surgery worked out for you.I'm sure is wasn't an easy decision. > > As for flushing them out.I've heard about the olive oil,apple cider > flush.Don't know a lot about it. > It really concerns me as I think the cocktail alone would make me feel very > ill. > I'd be concerned that the gallstones could move into the bile duct. > > cheers > > > >I think it important to know exactly what you are dealing with.

Is there some easy way of distinguishing between gall bladder pain and liver pain? Would liver pain radiate to the back? (I'll admit I haven't googled this yet.)

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Re: gallstones Jim, thank you for posting the information on salt, bile and gallstones. I was aware that there was a process to dissolve them but never understood the particulars. The don't advertise such things much. Again I thank you foryour explicit instructions; they will be used to help my wife who has had this problem for years. Good evening, Mel Include more sodium foods in your diet. A google search should provide you a list of good food sources for the mineral. I'm not suggesting you take more table salt, but more sodium foods. A primary salt in bile is sodium salts. When the body needs sodium it takes it from the bile if it can't find from another source. Water follows sodium. When the body takes some sodium from the bile, some of the water in the bile goes with it. What is left is a thicker, more cholesterol concentrated bile. When the bile thickens it is the medium in which gallstones can form. One role that Bile plays in digestion is that it helps to emulsify the fats in what we eat. Now you know why you've had problems with digesting fats. So, eat more sodium foods so that the body does not have to take it from the bile. In time, as the bile returns to normal, the gallstones will dissolve. When bile production improves, include some fats in your diet so that you use the bile that's being produced. Healthy fats. The body needs them too. All the best, Jim If you can's find a list of sodium foods I've got a list of the foods that Bernard Jensen recommended in the article on Sodium at http://www.xmission.com/~total/temple/Soapbox/mainpage.php3 > > Hi, > Recently I had an ultrasound of my pelvis. > My doctor was mostly checking for fibroids. > The report stated that I have multiple gallstones in the gallbladder. > > This took my a little by surprise as I have a very low fat diet due to trying to keep > my weight down and because I have difficulty digesting fats. > No gallstones were reported on my last two ultrasounds. > > I asked my doctor what should I do and he said nothing. > I asked him if the gallstones could be the reason that often I experience severe nausea,gas,chills and cramps. > He said no.That the main symptom caused by gallstones is severe pain under the ribs and to the right side. > He said if this happened often then I'd want to look into surgery. > > What do others do about gallstones?Should I do anything? > I am always very tender on my upper right side. > My grandmother had her gallbladder removed when she was in her late 50's. > > > Best > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
