Hello I'm New / Pre Passing Precautions

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

My name is Allan. I live in Baltimore MD with my beautiful wife

Anne. I'm new and looking foward to the exchange of ideas on

this list.

Anne has just been diagnosed with gallstones. In fact we

saw them on the ultrasound machine. Mostly gravel with one or

two larger looking ones. She had an attack that we thought

was some wicked heartburn but it got so bad that I took he

to the ER. That when we saw the stones. She has had these

attacks before (we didn't know what they were), the first

one was less than two years ago on our honeymoon. We ate

lots of rich french food (we went to Quebec City).

Or course the doctors wanted to suck out her gall bladder

through five small incisions 'as soon as possible'. They

would give us no other options. Lucky for us we have read

some info on this and other subjects by Dr. Shultze and we

are casual students of nutrition so we didn't fall for that

line as we might have.

I have read all I could get my hands on by Dr. Shultze and

have Hulda s info on liver flushing as well.

We are going to do Shultze's Bowel cleanse first and then

the liver flush. At least that is the plan for now.

My questions at this time are four fold:

- Should this process of passing the stones be a singular event

or a gradual process over days or weeks.

- What can we do beforehand to minimize the risk or getting

the stone stuck somewhere during the cleanse.

- Are there ways to 'lubricate' that area so it goes smoother

and the stones can slide out using herbs or such.

- Are there things we can do to dissolve the stones before hand

and does dissolving them make them 'sharper'? We don't want to

disslove off the fat and leave a sharp coral like stone that

will hurt her on the way out.

We have a bunch of material telling us what we should and

should not do. Some of it is conflicting and we would love

to here from people who have done it before themselves.

We want to prepare well and do it right. I must confess we are

a bit nervous. We have no health insurance and just this trip

to the ER will certainly cost more than we can pay for at

once. We don't want to sit by passively, we refuse to be

intimidated into avoiding alternative methods.

I dread seeing my wife have some emergency procedure done that

she will have to live with the rest of her life because

we tried something at home through natural means that failed

because or ignorant zeal, inedequate preparation or false

information.

I know I most likely asking things that have been discussed

before. Please forgive me for perhaps asking for what may

have been asked and answered many times before.

I am E-mail only and still have not figured out how to search the

archives through E-mailing.

Your friend in Christ,

Allan
