Reality check alert!

[Guest guest]

I'm probably venting here a little bit but I have to express an opinion here

but I think there needs to be a reality check.

Folks, I feel like people are doing this without the proper preparation and

patience (I know it's hard to be patient when you're in agony). I have been

dealling with this for almost 30 years and didn't even realize what was

wrong. I lived off of serious pain pills during these attacks for decades

and was wondering why doctors wouldn't take the time to find out what was

wrong with me. At least yours was correctly diagnosed. If only this group

had existed decades ago for me it would have made the difference.

My first flush didn't do me any good -- yes, it was a total failure. I

threw up everything, maybe passed one or two stones at the most and I felt

like crap afterwards. But I was *desperate* not to lose my gallbladder so I

didn't give up.

Then I ordered the Chinese herbs from www.sensiblehealth.com out of

desperation and I hung in there for a little longer (too long actually --

six months) and did my second flush in the middle of a severe attack. That

second flush was amazing and made a huge difference. I think you're just

giving up too easily plus just doing one flush may make things worse later

on. And then I can see it now -- I did a flush and now I'm losing my

gallbladder -- it was all the flush's fault! No it wasn't -- take

responsibility for the fact that you didn't put a whole lot of effort into

saving your organ. At least a lot of people here can say that they've done

everything possible to keep their body intact without letting some greedy

surgeon getting his or her way.

You want a quick fix (mentality that runs rampant in this country) and it

just ain't gonna happen.

You can't just take herbs and expect things to magically go away -- you

can't have surgery and guarantee that it will be fixed -- in fact there's a

huge likelihood that the problems go deeper than just your gallbladder. You

have to flush and flush repeatedly (but no more than every two weeks,

preferably). I took the Chinese herbs but the flushing afterwards made the

difference. Even the lady doctor who sells these herbs suggests flushing.

Plus this takes some major lifestyle changes too. You just can't eat the

way you've been eating that got you into this situation. I've tried

everything under the sun but finally came to my own conclusions about what

my body likes.

I eat plenty of raw foods with some meat and try to avoid the dairy

(although I do allow myself butter on occasion) and try to stick with

unprocessed foods (I also have to avoid most grains as well since don't

tolerate wheat and several other grains well at all. I also cook with

coconut oil instead of vegetable oils which are trans fat factories.

Anything to help my liver along.

But your body may have different needs. Order s' Moritz's books,

order the Liver Cleansing Diet by Cabot. Come on! Find out what

works for you. If you're running a fever or throwing up uncontrollably, then

there might be a reason for urgency. But if you're just having the pain

(and, yes, I know how severe it is), there's a light at the end of the

tunnel that doesn't have to involve losing an important organ and finding

out the hard way that it didn't fix the problem. What is the underlying

problem is in your liver? Care to lose that one as well?

We get a lot of repeat questions. Read the past posts. There are a lot of

answers that have been posted time and time again just in the past several

months alone.

My two cents.
