Guest guest Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Yes, Ken, that's exactly how I feel. Thanks for reaffirming. GypsyRose I am just watching a ph Chilton Pierce series of videos and he speak about us having a " responsibility TO " our loved ones but not a " responsibility FOR " them. I think you accomplished your RESPONSIBILITY TO your Mom absolutely wonderfully. she made her decision in spite of what you told her. It kind of makes it easier to take doesn't it. Best wishes and much love, Ken Ken Gullan Institute for Research Integration (IRI) San Diego, CA 92106-2424 IRI is a 501C(3) non-profit corporation established to help children with developmental difficulties.

She wound up having her Gallbladder removed without trying anything else. She is one of 'those' who is just that way. She doesn't believe you can flush out stones and cleanse your organs. Even after I was in Philly last year to help my Grandmother when she was in the hospital with Gallstones. I had her check out and go home and I went there and helped her do the cleanse. When I left I asked my Mom to repeat the cleanse on my Grandmother in two weeks and also to do it for herself. She never did either. When I mentioned this to her and reminded her that if she had done that, she could have most likely prevented this recent attack and the removal of her Gallbladder, her response was that she did not believe in the cleansing, that nobody she knows ever heard of it and that no doctor that she asked about it had ever heard of it and so it couldn't be true. She also believes that you don't need a gallbladder and that there will be no future health problems related to it's removal and that she need not change her diet now that she no longer has one. What do you say to that? I tried - I give up! Who knew we were up against all that when we were trying to help her? She's still my Mother and I love her and it IS her body and her descision. I just wish she had listened long ago when we were doing this with my Grandmother who is still fine and hasn't had any problems withe her gallbladder since and I plan to help her do a cleanse each time I visit. That would be at least once a year which is better than not at all. Thanks again, GypsyRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 --- I went to see a specialist today about my gallstones. He said that due to my breathing problems (I use a ventilator at night), it is more risky to give me general anaesthetic to remove the gallbladder, it would be keyhole surgery. I now have to wait to see the anaethesist to see if he's willing to carry out the operation. I look forward to your comments. Liz x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 REmoving your GB will be the biggest mistake you can make. Your body will continue to make stones but they will have to now store in the liver, and the pancreas. Here is a picture of the back of the liver, GB and pancreas. You can see stones in the ducts and how they will be stored once the GB is gone. http://gallstoneflush.com/images/biliary%20tract.JPG The green things are stones. Be smart and do flushes and get the stones out. Take pancreatic enzymes with every meal as this helps to digest the fats and foods. Your body is in need of help in this way, not surgery. These organs are not in our body to take up space, they are very important to our health and well being. Removing this is not the answer. We got in this shape by what we eat and now we have to change what/how we eat in order to correct the problem. Cutting out organs is not the answer. Too many people have had these surgeries only to regret it later. The drs will not tell you the real truth of the matter. You find it out too late.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 My gall bladder was supposed to be removed last May 2006, per advise of the doctor himself, who was going to operate me. But on the the day before the scheduled operation I called the Doctor that I don't want to pursue the operation. That's after I've read an ebook of another guy, who was operated or gall bladder removed, but still complaining today about the after effects of the operation. Plus, he has the same problem in his system even his gall bladder was removed. Thanks to that ebook, which I could no longer remember. But, I have a copy of it here, which may be still from among my other printed pdf files. All I've been doing since then is drink a lot of water in a day (more than 8 glasses a day), and drink at least two glasses of pure apple juice in a day. Water is the main secret to gallstone problem, because lack of water in your system was the main reason why stones developed in your gall bladder.
