Guest guest Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 My 2 ultrasound tests have shown that I have " innumerable stones. " I had my first and only GB attack March 12, 2006 and ended up in the hospital. Dr. wanted me to have surgery. I said, " Wait a minute - I'm going to go home and do some research first. " I still have my GB and have not had a problem since. Many people who have a GB attack will never have another one. I changed my eating habits after much study about this subject. I learned that we can no longer eat much meat or eggs. If you have attacks after eating fatty foods and/or eggs, stop doing that! I have found a difference in how I feel if I eat an occasional egg. Regular eggs made me feel queasy once, so I stopped eating them. Someone me to try an organic egg. I did and did not have any problem. However, I still rarely eat an egg just to be sure. If you can watch your diet and take good care of yourself, do so because once you have that surgery, there is no going back. Dr. Bruce West said that a doctor he knows stopped doing 95% of his patient's GB surgeries after telling those patients to take A-F Betafood by Standard Process Labs. I take that every day. Amber I get gallstone attacks every few months or so when I have more fatty foods then I should. A few days ago it happened again just for eating eggs .

There are people who live their entire lives with gallstones and no problem. I would start eating healthy to try to dissolve them, though. I really would even if they're not giving you problems now. I have a good friend on this upcoming Friday is fixing to have her GB removed. She has gallstones, but she also as a growth on the outside of her GB. Which in her case having it removed is a wise thing in my opinion.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 80% of all gallstones are silent. Never causing pain and never " treated " . Always risk of infection but minimal. Gallbladder cancers are rare in comparison to other forms of cancer, so doubtful there is much or any increased risk. Your friends growth on the outside is the same " energetic " as the stones on the inside. Removal of the gallbladder may be a good thing but will not remove the problem which precipitated both. If no other changes are made, the same energetic imbalance may precipitate other unwanted masses in other parts of the body. This is the false security of having a resection: Thinking that removal of the organ (and immediate symptoms) is removal of the problem. The very best to you both. -Dave ----- Original Message ----- s From: Tishri7@...<mailto:Tishri7@...> gallstones <mailto:gallstones > Sent: Monday, July 30, 2007 4:21 PM Subject: Re: Re: Living with gallstones living with stones in gall bladder without any attack. is there any risk of infection of gall bladder? is there any risk of cancer etc. when these stones remain there for years coming in contact with the walls of gall bladder. i have two stones of 13 and 15 mm for 3 years, but with no pain and attack.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 So the thought is that having the gallbladder removed is not the wisest thing in some cases? I have been considering surgery recently due to an attack I had 2 nights ago. I do not have any stones, just a defective gallbladder. I have an idea what caused it (a fried chicken sandwich---woe is me)----I was brave since I didn't have any attacks in months and felt fine. My co-worker (who is a nurse) advised me to have mine removed. She said that she feels 100% better. She said that the posibility of the attacks getting more and more frequent, even with a special diet, is very high. She said that she had a sever attack at work (no stones) and she was rushed to the hospital and had her GB removed immediately. I am willing to give the diet thing another try. I am seeing online that vegetarian diets are good to avoid attacks. Can anyone recommend a source for anti-attack meals (meals low in fats). I would also like to know of any affordable routines to flush out the galbladder and get it working properly again. Is this even possible? Thanks! > > 80% of all gallstones are silent.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Once your GB is removed, there is no going back. I have to disagree with that nurse. Many people who have a GB attack never have another one. You say you do not have stones, so a flush probably wouldn't go you any good. You also say you ate a fatty meal. We need fat in our diets, but it needs to be good fat, like olive oil, coconut oil, avocados. I've published this before, but Dr. Bruce West reports of a doctor he knows who has stopped 95% of his GB surgeries for his patients after he prescribed A-F Betafood from Standard Process Labs. I take it daily. Some health food stores sell it, or go direct by calling: 1-800-231-8063. Amber So the thought is that having the gallbladder removed is not the wisest thing in some cases?
