I hope you can get some help from it. Amber Ok, typical CYA statement: This is what I did. Not saying anyone else should. Each person needs to do what they feel best for themselves. Some people think doctors are God; others are more independent thinkers and try to decide what's best for themselves. > > The gallbladder (GB) serves a purpose in the body and should be retained if at all possible. Most people have stones and never have a problem because of them. Some are actually discovered during medical tests for other issues. Even if a person has what is considered a GB attack, it may not actually be the GB causing the problem. Most doctors will automatically say that the person should just have their GB removed. I had a GB attack March 12, 2006, and was in ER. Tests should that I had " innumerable stones. " My Dr. wanted me to have surgery and I said, " Wait a minute; I'm going home and doing some studying first. " I have now done 3 GB purges and started passing stones. To this day, I am still passing stones! I started saving them in the freezer after the first month and ended up with three 2 oz. containers in the freezer. That's larger than my GB. Therefore, I'm passing old stones and now newly formed stones. People make stones all the time. My ducts are now open from the purges I did and the herbs I'm taking, so the new stones can pass out. I have had no pain since the initial attack. Many people who have an attack will never have another one. The GB serves a major purpose in the body. It helps to emulsify fats. When the GB is removed, bile constantly drips, thereby increasing a person's risk of cancer. > > I did 3 GB purges, have been taking A-F Beta Food by Standard Process, milk thistle (for the liver), OregaMax (an antifungal), changed my diet. After a GB attack, people should limit meat and eggs. Beets are very helpful. I also take Probiotics (from the refrigerator section of a health food store). I took a lot of different herbs and supplements as recommended by my N.D. but can't remember them all now. If your relatives wish to consult with her, let me know and I'll see if she will provide info via email. > > Dr. Mercola's Comment: > > First of all, I believe it is nearly criminal what traditional medicine is doing to our public when it comes to managing this problem. It is RARELY ever indicated to remove someone's gallbladder. If one ignores warning symptoms and does not address the reasons why their gallbladder is not functioning properly, than the disease can progress to the point where the pancreas is inflamed or the gallbladder is seriously infected and may have to be removed to save a person's life. However, it is important to have a proper perspective here. Nearly ONE MILLION gallbladders are removed every year in this country and it is my estimate that only several thousand need to come out. > > So, not only are surgeons removing these organs unnecessarily, but in their nutritional ignorance they are telling patients that their gallbladders do not serve any purpose and they can live perfectly well without them. This is a lie. The gallbladder serves an important digestive function. It is required to emulsify fats. What is emulsification? One can easily understand this concept when washing greasy dishes. It is nearly impossible to properly clean greasy dishes without soap as the soap emulsifies the fat so it can be removed. Similarly, the gallbladder stores bile and bile acids, which emulsify the fat one eats so it can be properly transported through the intestine into the blood stream. Anyone who has had their gallbladder removed will need to take some form of bile salts with every meal for the rest of their life (I use and recommend Beta Plus from Biotics Research), if they wish to prevent a good percentage of the good fats they eat from being flushed down the toilet. If one does not have enough fats in the diet, their entire physiology will be disrupted, especially the ability to make hormones and prostaglandins. > > So, let's get back to the original question. If one has gallbladder disease it can be evidenced by: > > 1) Pain when pressing on the gallbladder, which is directly under the last rib on the right on the same plane as one's nipple. This is usually due to gallbladder " sludge " (thick bile). > > 2) Stone on a gallbladder ultrasound. > > 3) Greasy stools that are loose and tend to float to the top of the toilet bowl. This indicates improper fat absorption. > > Then what is the proper course of action? > > Long time readers of this newsletter will be very familiar with the essential first step. It is imperative to clean up the diet. > > One has to stop the sugars, and reduce the grains and eliminate all fluids but water.

Plan the next 2 days to be home. Day 7 start eating light foods only. e.g. applesauce, figs, pears, drinking apple and other juices, V-8 (in glass bottles not cans). Keep up the olive oil and lemon juice. Days 8 and 9 NO FOOD. Juices only. Apple, V- 8, olive and lemon. Drink up to 1 gallon of juices a day. > > > End of the 9th day about 5:00 p.m. drink 1 cup olive oil mixed with 1 cup fresh lemon juice. Immediately go to bed and lay still, on your right side and WAIT. Before too many hours, the stones will start to come out. If you wish to save them, use rubber gloves and place stones in a strainer, rinse and put in a container and freeze them. (I did not start passing stones until the following morning.) > > > This first purge is the most difficult. I did it and it started the process of my stones coming out and they are still coming out. They come out in normal bowel movements and there is no pain involved. After about a month, I did the 3 day purge shown below. I have done a total of 3 purges and don't feel I need to do any more. > > > The Three Day Liver, Gallstone Flush Program > In my humble 20 years of looking at healing methods for the human body, the liver flush is probably one of the most dramatic and successful. Many people have avoided gall bladder operations using this simple and effective technique. The tools you will need for this program are: > > > 1 gallon of organic apple juice. > 1 bottle of Phos Food Liquid by Standard Process. > 1 eight ounce bottle of cold pressed virgin olive oil. > 2 whole organic lemons. > herbal laxative. > > > I usually start by drinking one quart or more of apple juice per day adding 45 drops of Phos Food Liquid twice to the apple juice per day (that's 90 drops total of Phos Food Liquid per day). On the evening of the third day, after the last meal, I will mix the eight ounces of olive oil with the juice from the two lemons and drink this completely. Then I immediately go to bed and lay on my right side with my knees up to my chest for one half hour. > > The oil travels to the liver and gall bladder, they will spasm and throw off the oil and any gall stones that are present. The next morning I swallow my herbal laxatives to facilitate the exit of the stones, which come out completely soft. (I took mine at night.) > > > Now, a person who is diabetic and cannot use apple juice, may substitute distilled water and take Phos Food Liquid 45 drops in the water three times a day for a total of 135 drops in one day, for three days. Then take olive oil mixed with lemon juice on the evening of the third day. But, most important, you must use the Phos Food Liquid in this program. If for some reason you cannot either find or use the Phos Food Liquid, do not attempt the program. Also it is important to use lemon juice from fresh lemons, and not frozen or concentrate. Within a few hours of the liver flush you will feel like a new person, reborn. (Phos Food is sold at some health food stores. If not available, call the company direct at: 1-800-231- 8063.) > > Some people may be concerned that stones could be too big, they may not easily come out or may even get stuck on the way out. These purges soften the stones so that they can slip through. In the beginning, the stones I passed were the size of hominy and later on, the size of corn kernels.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I have been through the Dr. Santra's liver cleansing diet for 2 years before. It is a great thing to do. You will not be hungry instead, you are going to loose weight. I have introduced this pill to my friends who are using it as a great product that they never have been in. Now, after 2 years, I do not follow up and end up along with the symptom come back just because I eat as used be. Partial of them is not my fault just because I have been travel too much and eat the food that I hardly to choose on the road. I let you know that I will go back to liver cleansing again after getting into USA a few months later.

With me (and many people) it was one attack only, lots of pain, in ER, lots of tests. Threw up the junk I had to drink, so I got to do that all over again. Once that attack was over, I've been fine ever since. Many people have stones and never know it. Do the flushes, change your diet and you'll probably be fine.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I was in pain for 12 hours and like you I cannot lie still. I have to rise from the bed from time to time and during those time the gas in my stomach doesn't seem to find any way out. Similarly I have to lie on my back but what I did to ease the pain and get some needed sleep is to rub menthol liniment on my upper abdomen and cover it with a pillow or blanket. A hot compress with a hot water bottle would do too. The other symptoms you should be wary of aside from the obvious upper abdominal pain is back pain.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 at time of pain - drink a little apple cider vinegar, you will feel better... Re: Re: Just been diagnosed with Gallstones I was in pain for 12 hours and like you I cannot lie still. I have to rise from the bed from time to time and during those time the gas in my stomach doesn't seem to find any way out. Similarly I have to lie on my back but what I did to ease the pain and get some needed sleep is to rub menthol liniment on my upper abdomen and cover it with a pillow or blanket. A hot compress with a hot water bottle would do too. The other symptoms you should be wary of aside from the obvious upper abdominal pain is back pain. Another is pain on the right shoulder which I didn't notice but I had this slightly sore feeling on my right shoulder.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Thanks Jay, I bought some and am making a point of drinking it before I get the pain I heard it is good for you anyway - I mixed it with v8 veg juice it still burnt my throat going down but maybe cos i just had the endoscopy the day before. The endoscopy didnt look at my gall bladder only my stomach and it was all red due to overuse of Ibuprofen( NSAID ) Scary no more pain killers for me. I feel so much better for having the information of this group as I have had 4 gb attacks in 8 months and hopefully now I am a little more informed I may prevent further attacks. > > > > > > Hello, > > > > DId the doctor say remove the stones or remove your gallbladder? > > > > > > > > > > > > " feb4512 " > > joanlee0107@ aol. > > com> To > > Sent by: gallstones@gro ups.com > > gallstones@g cc > > roups.com > > Subject > > Just been diagnosed > > 07/03/2008 04:31 with Gallstones > > AM > > > > > > Please respond to > > gallstones@g > > roups.com > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi I have just joined your group furiously seeking some support as I > > have just been diagnosed with gallstones after months/years of > suffering > > with what I thought was acid I have had a few really bad attacks and > > then on monday an unbearable 4 hours of pain fever and vomitting for 2 > > hours. > > > > I am due to go back for an endoscopy in two days and am sure they will > > put me on the waiting list for keyhole surgery to remove the stones. > > > > Now I have started to look at my diet and remove all fat, white bread > > cheese and alcohol because I couldnt bear the thought of another > attack > > like i had on monday. > > > > I do have a reasonably healthy diet but have found out i shouldnt eat > > things like nuts,sweeteners, fruit juice and beans etc' > > > > What is the liver cleanse diet I am scared I wouldnt be able to do it > > and I would end up hungry and than have a binge!! > > > > Any help would be gratefully recieved > > > > Thanks > > > > Anne > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Alot of people, aftger they do a few gal bladder/liver cleanses find their digestion returns to normal. I used to be highly lactose intolerant - I've done about 10 liver cleanses and flushed out thousands of gall stones. Now I am no longer lactose intolerant at all. From: feb4512 <joanlee0107@...> Subject: Just been diagnosed with Gallstones gallstones Date: Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 4:27 PM Hi I have just joined your group furiously seeking some support as I have just been diagnosed with gallstones after months/years of suffering with what I thought was acid I have had a few really bad attacks and then on monday an unbearable 4 hours of pain fever and vomitting for 2 hours. I am due to go back for an endoscopy in two days and am sure they will put me on the waiting list for keyhole surgery to remove the stones. Now I have started to look at my diet and remove all fat, white bread cheese and alcohol because I couldnt bear the thought of another attack like i had on monday. I do have a reasonably healthy diet but have found out i shouldnt eat things like nuts,sweeteners, fruit juice and beans etc' What is the liver cleanse diet I am scared I wouldnt be able to do it and I would end up hungry and than have a binge!! Any help would be gratefully recieved Thanks Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
