Re: Coming down off of a Gallbladder attack

[Guest guest]

I recommend you find a good nutritionist to work with you, one who understands

GB problems. Also buy A-F Betafood from Standard Process and start taking that.

It helps tremendously. How do you know that you do not have gallstones? Have

you had a sonogram?

Amber

I had a GB attack 2 nights ago (ate pizza). I do not have gallstones,

but a gallbladder that, at the time I was assessed, empties at 2

percent. I am having residual pain after I eat and about every 10

minutes throughout the day. I have been having a major attack about

once every 6 months and some discomfort several times a month (not at

all unbearable though)for the past 2 years (since being diagnosed with

GB disease). I am considering surgery but my mom and best friend are

encouraging me not to.

Chologague herbs (stimulate the movement of bile), chologeric (stimulate the

production of bile), both will be helpful. Boldo, phyllanthus, gentian,

rhubarb, lysmatchia, dandelion, yellow dock, etc. The big question is why? Why

is your gallbladder not working properly. What does the Dr. Say? Did they just

tell you it is not working so it needs to be removed with no suggestions on how

to " heal " it? Your mother and best friend are right. Unless the dr. can give

you a reason for the problem and a method of healing there is a lot to be done

before deciding to rip out the organ. This is so so common. you would think

that medicine would study cause and solution instead of merely removal. -Dave

Please provide some solutions.

In refernce to Amber's question: I had an ultrasound done after my

first big attack. They reported no stones.

Dave asked: " The big question is why? Why is your gallbladder not

to " heal " it? "

Dave, the Drs did not give me any real insight on healing my GB. The

surgeon that I saw said that I could maintain myself by my diet. She

gave my the number to a nutritionist, but the one that my Dr. saw

personally was not there the day I went. I had a really Blah

nutritionist that seemed not to be too informed on GB diease and

tried to push a bunch of meat (protein) on me. I wasn't satisfied.

I am looking for a holistic (wholistic) doctor of some type to help

me. Would anyone know of one in Atlanta or how I could find one that

helps with GB healing?

That's why Doug Kaufmann's TV show (that I highly recommend) is called Know the

Cause! Check out the website at www.knowthecause.com.

Hi:

Regarding "

My worry is that I would develop an infected or

Cancerous GB. How can I avoid that? "

I don't think so this can turn into Cancerous.

From what I read and know Cancerous GB is very very

very rare and gall stones is not factor for it too.

And also you anyway don't have stones.

So I guess you should worry on that thought.

Thanks,

Rajesh

Sorry I meant to say:

" So I guess you should not worry on that thought (

Cancerous GB) " in my earlier post.

Thanks again !

All their supplements are made from food, not chemicals. They've been in

business since somewhere around 1920. Yes, their products are excellent. You

can only buy direct from them if you are a subscriber to Dr. Bruce West's

newsletter, Health Alert. You can buy them from some chiropractors and some

health food stores. I have published their address and phone number here many

times.

Amber

Is it best to buy Standard Process directly from them or via a

distributor? Why do I keep hearing about this company? Are they really

good?

Dave, I have never been clear on which foods, supplements,

etc. " cleanse " the liver versus which " regenerate " the liver. It

sounds like from your list below, those herbs both produce and move

bile. So they all would fall under the category of cleansing? If so,

then which things will build-up or regenerate the liver? For example,

someone posted that milk thistle regenerates not cleanses.

I guess a second question is when do you cleanse versus regenerate? or

do you do both at the same time?

Thanks.

Wow! Thank you so much. I will print this list off and take it with

me to the health food store. I am also scheduled to see a natural

doctor next week. It does make sense that the liver plays a big role

in GB functioning. I surely don't want my liver to go bad.

Some of the gals at work are still encouraging me to take my GB out

due to posibility of infection and one even said that she read of a

lady dying because she didn't have her GB removed. Hmmm.

Gee, are these " gals " doctors? That woman could also have died from stepping

off a curb. So what does that prove? Listen to your own body, do your own

research. Don't rush to surgery because there is no going back.
