gallstones

[Guest guest]

I eat only organic veggies, have been doing colon cleanse for a year. I believe

the problem lies in the fact, I have had hepatitis a few times & lived in the

Middle East and may have acquired some parasites.

Hi, If you have done 50 cleanses and you are still

getting stones, could it be that you have not changed your diet, even

vegetarians get stones if they eat foods with chemicals or maybe its your body

products or home products, your liver has to get rid of everything you breathe

and put on your skin. have you done the colon cleanses before the liver

cleanses, very important! judy, cleansing coach

I have heard that being a vegetarian can be a cause for getting gallstones,

and that it's not a good way to eat to avoid them. That being said, I am

also a vegetarian - I haven't eaten meat since I was 12 and cannot imagine

starting. I have thought about trying it for the benefit of my health, at

least things like fish, but I just cannot bring myself to do it.

I know it was discussed on this list some time ago...some time between Feb

2005 and December 2005. Just thought I'd give you the dates in case you

wanted to sort through the archives. I haven't eaten meat in 19 years and I

just don't want to, but I know a lot of the info that came through pretty

much convinced me that some is beneficial for health. I forget why being a

vegetarian could actually cause gallstones, but that's what I was told

anyway....there was even someone here who converted because they believed

they were getting the gallstones from being a vegetarian. Maybe they are

still on this list???

While the premier high heat oil for cooking and a myriad of health benefits,

coconut oil may be too heavy for you. Think about thinner viscosity oil

sources. How about lecithin or it's constituents, bile acids, malic acid.

fulvic acid or some other cholesteric acids? Herbal chologaugues and support?

Another friend just called with GB attacks in hospital the first

thing I said to him was if you have a fever/yellow in the eyes it

may be too late to save it---but if you can flush; change your diet

and not have any other problems than you can keep it.

Getting your liver enzymes numbers from blood work is one way to

check if you are improving or just suffereing.

If your numbers drop on the liver panel than you can continue onward

with flushing. Eyes clear up and no fevers.

I have been doing this for almost two years now but I tell you if I

had the fevers along with raised alt/ast numbers I would not fool

around and get it out asap!!!

And I have to say digestive enzymes have been a HUGE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

check out serrapeptase!!!! super enzyme

Hi all,

What I have learnt from having gall stones is that we have to control our

diets. I no longer have symptoms having changed my diet drastically over time.

It took me at least 24 months to reach this point, now I eat lots of vegetables;

sometimes I juice them using beets and dandelion and other green vegetables.

(Beets are excellent for us with gall stones). I use a high quality fish oil;

papayas, pineapples and sometimes a digestive enzyme and of course lecithin. If

we are serious about reducing or eliminating symptoms we must change our diets

to one that is more alkaline. My doctor now tells me that I do not have to do

anything since I am not having pains etc. I have not tried flushing yet, but

will get there eventually; frankly I do not like following the rigid guidelines

used for flushing.

Best of health to everyone,

EVW

First let me say that I do believe people should try and keep their

gallbladders. However, I don't think it's always possible. If you are just

having attacks from time to time and associated with certain foods, then I

think these attacks can easily be handled with diet and cleansing.

I haven't yet been able to work out what foods are causing the attacks so

I don't know that this applies to me for sure.

>>>>> I think what concerns me about your story is the pancreatitis. I

mean has

anyone here ever had pancreatitis?

I've been told the pancreatitis was mild. My blood amylase was high (but

not exceedingly high) on the first night I was in hospital and had lowered

by the following day.

>>>>> I know that is not something to play

around with, and this can be caused by gallstones. Jaundice can also be

caused by gallstones.

The assumption has been that some dislodged sludge and gravel and/or stone

created the pancreatitis on my first hospitalisation and the jaundice on the

2nd.

>>>>> In my case I tried to keep my gallbladder for 2

years, I know that's not very long and I would've tried for many years to

come. However, my liver was failing - I was completely jaundiced. The

ducts to my liver were blocked. My pancreas was not doing well either, I

couldn't maintain my blood sugar levels. In cases where your other organs

are suffering - should we just continue to let them fail for the sake of

keeping our gallbladder? My opinion is we should not let everything else

fail just to save our gallbladder.

I agree! I think the main thrust of this group is support for people like

me in a position where it might just not be essential to have the

gallbladder removed. If only we could get the medical profession to think

outside the box!

>>>>>[snip] I would be curious to know why you got pancreatitis and also

why you were jaundiced?

See above.

>>>>> Have those things now cleared?

Well, yes. This is why I'm confused about why they want to do an

investigation for a stone in my bile duct after 5 months - surely if I still

had a stone there, I'd be having attacks whenever I eat fat? Anyone, do

please comment on this because I could do with the back-up!

>>>>> I'm not saying remove your gallbladder - I'm just wondering have

these things now cleared

and do you know why those things happened to you?

As I say, I'm assuming I had pancreatitis and jaundice due to a blockage

in the bile duct though this was never spelled out to me. Thus my move to

have a proper conversation with the surgeon in the vague and possibly vain

hope that he will take me seriously!

>>>>> I would not want to remove the gb for the sake of investigating the

other organs, is that the

reason they want to do it?

No, the initial diagnosis was for the need for removal of my gallbladder,

period. I failed to tolerate going into the MRI scanner so I couldn't have

an MRCP. Telescopic examination was next on the cards but, between them,

the doctor who would do the examination and the surgeon have decided to

remove the gallbladder (presumably because it's their opinion it must come

out anyway) and do an X ray of my bile duct at the same time. If there are

any stones present they'll then decide how to deal with them and a

subsequent telescopic examination might be necessary (I've been told by my

GP that the telescopic exam can sometimes move the stone along into the

duodenum and out of the body).

Boy do I not want to have to fight with the surgeon about all this... I

just KNOW he'll have a comment to make on how I've not lost any weight in 5

months.

Hey everyone,

Had about 5 severe abdominal pain attacks after eating high protien meals in

the last 6 months. Ultrasound shows thickened GB wall with several stones, the

largest 3.2cm in the bile duct opening. Ordered " GallCleanse " from company named

Boineutrix. It is my 7th day on the " dissolve phase " , and have had abdominal

pain 3 days this week and have not eaten any meat or dense protein. Supposed to

supplement with the " cleanse phase " starting tomorrow but am worried because I'm

in the ultra deepwater of the Gulf of Mexico " . The helicopter flight is at least

2hrs. to get here and 2hrs back in. Flight is 15,000.00 (double that for

Medi-Vac " flight) which of corse BP Exploration will pay. Am very anxious about

cleanse/flush phase. Anyone had any experience with this product from

Bioneutrix. Please let me know. Thanks, .

Unburdening Your Liver: An imperative for good health and longevity

A critical first step in an effective liver cleansing program

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adapted from the 3-part audiocassette lecture by D. Young, " JuvaCleanse

Your Liver for Better Physical, Emotional & Spiritual Health "

(Training Tapes #50, 51 & 52 © Copyright 2003 Essential Science Publishing).

b.. Longevity and the liver

c.. Toxic Life-style

d.. Critical need to unburden the liver

e.. Supplements and the liver

f.. Exercise and the liver

Related articles:

a.. Symptoms of liver overload

b.. The liver's ability to rejuvenate

c.. A word about liver spots

You may have heard the quote by Dr. Jensen, " Death begins in the colon. " It's a

valid statement, as far as it goes. If you have a clogged and toxic colon, your

health will be compromised.

However, the health of the liver is far more critical to your overall well-being

than that of the colon. Based upon Young's studies of people groups known

for their longevity, it's clear that a long life depends much more upon the life

and health of your liver.

Why is that?

While the colon plays a key role in the digestion and absorption of the things

we eat, as well as the elimination of wastes, the liver is responsible for

converting those nutrients into the forms needed by the body, as well as

filtering out toxins and chemically converting them so they may be eliminated

safely.

The liver carries out over 5,000 such biochemical functions every day, affecting

every cell in the body. If it is not able to do that effectively, because of

toxic overload, you get into serious trouble. (See Symptoms of liver overload.)

But, the fats and bile within the liver can easily become over-saturated with

oil-soluble toxins, synthetic chemicals and heavy metals. Besides this, negative

emotions or psychological trauma can change the chemistry of the liver, creating

a toxic environment. And as these toxins build up, the liver becomes overloaded

and can't function properly.

It isn't hard to see that, as Young asserts, the liver is at the root of

every disease on earth.

Longevity and the liver

Over the years, Young has traveled around the world, studying people groups

known for their longevity. Of these, three groups stand out:

a.. the Azerbaijanis in the Talish Mountains, who commonly live to be 140

years;

b.. the Hunzakut people of Northern Pakistan, who routinely live past 120

years; and

c.. the Ningxia people of China, who live to be over 120.

As interviewed these people, his team of doctors would perform simple tests

of their heart and blood pressure, hearing and vision. They found that it was

common for people who were 130-140 years old to have normal blood pressure and a

resting pulse rate in the 60's - the resting pulse rate of a very healthy,

middle-aged person.

And, out of the hundreds of people he met in the Talish Mountains of Azerbaijan,

there was only one person who wore glasses to read the newspaper. And he was

over a hundred years of age.

He never found a single person who had liver spots. No one had complaints of

urinary or digestive problems (constipation or diarrhea) or hormonal problems -

all of the things we see in America, even among young adults.

noted that hormonal problems among these people were difficult to evaluate,

because most of them didn't want to talk about their sex life. Only one man

really expressed his feelings about it, and he was 128. He was frustrated

because his sexual activity was diminishing - and that was still four times a

week. (In validation of his claim: His wife turned very red-faced about this

conversation; but she didn't contradict him.) asked this man if he thought

an active sex life was important for longevity, and he said, " Absolutely! Why do

you think I'm concerned? "

He also found that women in these people groups didn't go through menopause

until their 70's or 80's. One woman was 82 when she had her last child; another

was 73. Most were still bearing children until their mid- to late-sixties.

What's the secret to their incredible longevity?

They have a life-style in which they don't overburden their livers. Their diets

are:

a.. Low in calories,

b.. Low in glycemic index,

c.. High in antioxidants,

d.. High in fiber,

e.. Rich in fermented foods like yogurt and fermented cabbage, which are

loaded with enzymes and probiotics.

Another important point: They fast on a regular basis. For some of them, it was

their practice to fast for 30 days each year. They unburdened their livers,

allowing them to regenerate.

Our toxic life-style

In stark contrast to this, the American life-style is one of overloading the

liver. We eat, as says, like hogs at a trough. We eat dead, enzyme-depleted

foods. We eat processed, nutrient-deficient foods. We eat foods that plug the

liver. We eat foods that are loaded with chemical additives, placing an even

greater burden on the liver.

Add to that the burden of our chemical-laden shampoos and soaps and toothpastes,

and all the poisons in our water and in the air that we breathe that attach to

our skin and are absorbed through the dermal shield into our blood streams and

are being deposited in our livers.

We overload our livers with our gluttony, tax our livers with the poisons in our

environment, and plug them with poor life-style choices; and then we wonder why

they don't function.

No wonder we can't remember where we left our car keys.

The critical need to unburden the liver

A word of caution about supplementation:

It's quite easy to overload the liver with supplements, especially drug store

vitamins, but even with " natural " supplements consisting of isolated nutrients.

You can be on even a great nutrition program, but if you are overburdening the

liver, you are creating a toxic environment in your body. Once that toxic

environment is created, it will affect every gland and organ in your body, from

the brain to the prostate or ovaries.

So, it's critically important to pay attention to your body, to listen for its

signals of overload, and to know when to back off.

It's also a good practice to rest your system every week by taking a day or two

off from your nutritional program.

For our health and longevity, we really need to be serious about cleansing. We

need to learn to unburden our livers. This is so critical. If we do this, our

livers will rejuvenate themselves. They will return to normal function, and free

us from many of the health problems plaguing us today.

To do this, the first step, of course, is to stop eating a junk diet. We need to

eat reasonable amounts of healthy foods that

a.. nourish the liver, and

b.. don't plug the liver.

We also need to be reasonable about our supplementation. In the same way we can

overload our livers with good food, we can overload them with excessive

supplementation.

And don't forget the water. Adequate water is so critical for flushing the

toxins out of the body.

However, it is imperative that we drink pure water. That means distilled (and

run through a carbon filter) or reverse osmosis. The fluoride and chlorine in

our water pose serious threats to our health (including the symptoms of

arthritis or Fibromyalgia), so it is critical to have some way to purify our

water.

Exercise and the liver

It's important to remember that, while exercise is very important for your

overall health, overdoing it places a strain on your liver and immune system.

Several recent studies have found no benefit in very strenuous exercise compared

to regular moderate exercise; so take it easy on yourself. Press your limits

from time-to-time, but don't make it a daily affair.

In addition to this, it's important to eliminate as much of the chemical

toxicity from our environment as possible. In doing this, we must avoid:

a.. commercial antiperspirant-deodorants,

b.. toothpastes and mouthwashes,

c.. shampoos and conditioners, and

d.. hand lotions and cosmetics.

Even those sold in health food stores often contain toxic chemicals.

And we must not forget

a.. household products,

b.. lawn and garden chemicals, and

c.. jogging along busy roadways.

Safer alternatives must be found.

And we must never forget the importance of fasting. Once a week, do a 24-hour,

noon-to-noon fast. In addition to this, you might try longer fasts. Young

and his wife do a fast of 21-30 days every year, as well as several

short-term fasts of a week to ten days.

The whole point of all of this is simply to unburden the liver and give it a

chance to rejuvenate.

And now that we've dealt with unburdening the liver, it's time to look at how we

can actively cleanse the liver.

Amber - how do you correlate your friend having kidney stones and taking

calcium? Or is an assumption?

Any thing can cause anything but as a very solid rule, not. -D
