Guest guest Posted October 4, 2000 Report Share Posted October 4, 2000 Hi Jynene: WElcome to the group... Symptoms are the primary way that doctors identify gallbladder problems. Most stones (80%) are cholestorol chunks and sludge that usually is not detected on a sonogram. All of your symptoms are classic of gallstones and yes, being a woman, 40ish and having done an extreme diet put you in the high risk catagory. In other words... You have gallstones! This is not as bad as it might seem. The pain and discomfort is not fun, but this disease is hardly life threatning... although your doctors job is to inform you that certain complications could become serious and in a very small % lead to death. Playing the odds, doctors will remove the gallbladder in order to save the .001% of the population. Actually, the real reason for removing most gallbladders is to get rid of the patient and their complaints... quickly! Most of us in this group have decided to try a time tested cure for our problems... THE FLUSH! It is amazing how awful it seems to most people, but once you do it, you realize that it is 1000 times better than the alternative! I believe that the flush will help 95% of all those with gallstones. More than 90% of those taking the flush have no pain and only minor discomfort when doing the process. Very few have an attack during the olive oil process, but it can happen. If you drink enough of the apple juice... there shouldn't be a problem. You can find information on various flushes on this web site. Many follow Dr. Hulda s approach. My flush recipe is somewhat different and seems easier to me. You can find links to many flushes at site #2247. Just put that number in the " Jump To " box. WE home school 3 teenagers and a flush will not significantly cause a problem. The first four days you are drinking as much organic apple juice as you can... You will probaly feel better than you do now, but have to run to the restroom more often. The hardest part is downing the olive oil. Mix it with fresh squeeze grapefruit juice and it should go down just fine. The day after the flush is a " punk " day, but still probably better than you feel now. It is also an exciting day as you see all the gunk that is clogging up your system come flowing out. I always find only water and greenish brown cholestorol chunks in my stools the next day. You should not have any real stool material as it should have been removed with the apple juice and epsom salts (disodium phosphates). You will need to repeat the process 2-6 weeks later. I have done my seventh flush in two years... and I would consider myself cured. Yes, when I start to get indegestion I do another flush. That is the sign... its time to get rid of the sludge. I also take organic, cold compressed flax seed oil 5 mornings a week and avoid most dairy products. I am surprised that I have actually lost weight taking the oils, probaly because it keeps my bile and stools flowing. A change of eating habits to more raw fruits and vegies is highly recommended. The flush is so simple and effective... You may wish to see my post on disodium phosphate above. My understanding is that Disodium Phosphate and Epson salts both produce a laxative effect. I am usually cleaned out by the apple juice, then the Sodium Phosphate makes water run right through me! I went to capsules as I cannot drink the solution without gagging. Recipe Instructions: 1) Monday through Saturday drink as much organic apple juice as possible. Regular meals are ok... but you are not very hungry. I try to drink 1 1/2 quarts a day. 2) At noon Saturday eat a light normal meal. 3) At 5:00 p.m. take two tablespoons (I take 11 capsules) of disodium phosphate disolved in hot water... may be follwed with a litle grapefruit juice. 4) At 7:00 p.m. repeat step #2... now you are really running water. 5) A little grapefruit juice is ok for dinner... I fast. 6) At bedtime 1/2 cup of refined virgin olive oil with or without a little grapefruit juice... 7) To bed immediately and lay on right side with right knee pulled close to chest for 30 minutes. 8) Next morning 1 hour before breakfast repeat disodium phosphates. Watch a bunch of brown and green stones come out with water. I have flushed 7 times... sometimes I get a lot of stones... other times just a few green things. Disodium Phosphate is sold by Vitanet on and I prefered it to epson salts. You still hate that salty stomach feeling, but at least they go done easier! ken P.S. Keep in mind Jynene, yo are part of the fortunate few. God has allowed you to have this disease in order to get your eating habits back to healthy. THose who take out the gallbladders have a quick fix, but if they don't change their ways, the cholestorol sludge continues to build up and creates heart disease and other more life threatening problems.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2000 Report Share Posted October 9, 2000 Hello! I just wanted to say thanks for the help I've received on this loop. Words can't do justice to the gratitude I feel for the help and comfort I've received here! I immediately started drinking lots of apple juice and the pain and pressure almost immediately subsided, only returning when I eat a little too much... I've ordered the Gold Coin Grass because I have a 'gut feeling' (ha-ha) that I have some large stones that might be hard to pass and need to be broken up and/or crushed first. I think this because of the pressure I felt, actually pushing on my ribs; and because of the high protein, fat, & cholesterol diet that I was foolish enough to try. So- I'm going to continue the juice, start the GCG when I receive it, take that for several weeks to a month, then try the flush. I feel *so* much better already and I just wanted to try to express my thanks! I do have an eczema type rash now... is this common with drinking all of the apple juice? Already flushing toxins or something? Anyone heard of this? Also, could someone describe what an 'attack' is like? Is an attack a stone passing? If so, I may be passing small ones now and then... (?) thanks again! Jynene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
