My gallstone story

[Guest guest]

Last February, I started taking flax seed every day after discovering how

beneficial it is. My stomach started to hurt. I went to ER thinking it would

be an ulcer. The hospital discovered that I had a stone stuck in my duct and

I have 3 gallstones in my gallbladder. The surgery team took out a 6mm stone

that was stuck by .I was admitted later on for surgery to take out my

gallbladder. My husband did some research on alternative medicine. I

believed in this type of medicine so I refused surgery the next day.

My friend's mother, who is an acupunturist, recommended me to take some

Lidan tablets. I bought them in Chinatown around 4 dollars. I wasn't too

sure if my gallstones came out so I went to a holistic place in Manhattan,

NY. He believes my liver is the problem, and it needs a cleansing. They gave

me a whole bunch of chinese herbs. The holistic specialist said all my

gallstones will come out. He recommended me to come back for acupunture, and

also take daily Omega 3 pills and do a parasite cleansing every couple of

months. After three weeks, I went for a sonogram in the hospital. The nurse

said my gallstones are gone, but the medical doctor still recommended

surgery because it is " hereditary. "

I found another holistic place that is affiliated with Beth Israel hospital

in New York. They accepted all types of insurance, and I thought this was

perfect because I couldn't afford going to holistic places all the time. My

blood levels are normal now. They recommended that I stick to organic food

if possible, more colorful fruits and vegetables, non-dairy diet at least

every other week, continue daily flax seed or fish oil, and limit fried

foods (use canola or peanut oil if needed). I am going to the parasite

cleaner soon and continue going for sonograms at Beth Israel.
