Re: Re: Should I Have Surgery

[Guest guest]

Just a thought:  I believe when we have true sciencific research in genetics

(not junk science for profit)  we will find out the true cause and effect and

work to alleviate suffering in the world no matter where the endeavor takes

us. Celiac Disease is a protein and genetic marker testing with a swab or

brush on the inside of your mouth it can tell if you carry the gene marker-from

there at least you can follow a care plan just for your needs. There is a place

for surgery-but it should not be the first option and the only option since

someone could be wrong in the diagnoses-for a time one does feel fine then

either age or something else changes-what is it. 

I am learning that gluten is a food that is responsible for the flare ups people

suffer with digestion.  Until one can be diagnosed all options are on the table

even surgery that may not solve the real problem.  Has anyone ever asked why do

we get gallstones in the first place-eliminate that problem ergo no surgery or

the risks of a permanant solution.  I believe the Hormone Vitamin D3 dropped to

8 mg/dl after gallbladder surgery-and the liver has too much of a job doing what

is does than to take the job of the gallbladder, because that is the argument

the surgeons and physicians make to the patient-it doesn't work though-the way

they tell it.

I can't find the e-mail now, but someone mentioned that they their GB problem

was hereditary. How did you know that?

I have a family history of GB problems, but I have assumed that I have inherited

bad eating habits, not bad genes. But maybe there is something to the genetic

side of this?

Any thoughts on this are appreciated. Thanks.

I have been away from my computer so could not reply earlier.  My problem is

hereditary.  I am adopted, and my birth family was raised totally different from

me in a different culture with different food habits etc.  Upon finding them and

meeting my blood relative my father's sister, she told me, long before I even

had any symptoms or anything, that I may as well resign myself to the fact that

no one in our family had a gallbladder past the age of 50 and all had surgery. 

Prior to the advent of surgery, there were documented cases of family members

dying from gallbladder disease.  I fought this, I went to a ND, I went through

the holistic approach, accupuncture, reflexology, diet, herbs, flushes etc. and

it is still steadily and surely getting worse to the point where I cannot live

my life and my life is too full to be put on hold.  I know I have done all as

well as the best that I can and I have made my decision and am satisfied with

it.  I am

glad my surgeon practices both regular medicine and homeopathy.  She has been

an invaluable support and resource.
