Re: Help! Doctors want surgery - I want answers..

January 31, 2002

Hi Joan - welcome to the group!

First of all, I am so very sorry to hear about you losing your mother. I

lost my dad a couple of years ago in a very sudden way and so my heart goes

out to you. I hope that you have good support around you to help you through

this very difficult time.

About the gallbladder - I would guess that many, MANY people on this list

have had similar experiences. For me, my first attack was last fall. I

thought it was just really bad indigestion and it passed in about a half

hour. After a few repeats of this type of thing I had one that was so bad

that I drove myself to the hospital. I could barely walk through the doors

of the ER, but by the time the triage nurse took my vitals the pain had

started to subside. I asked them if I could just go home and they said yes.

The next day after lunch I was relating this story to my officemate and the

pains started again. I was doubled over within minutes and she ended up

driving me to the doctor's office. Once again, by the time they took my

vitals the pain had started to subside. The doctor asked a lot of

questions, gave me a prescription for Pepcid because she thought it might be

a case of severe acid reflux and prescribed lab tests and an ultrasound and

gave me the names of a couple of surgeons. I talked to several people at

work about it and each of them told me how the surgery is " no big deal " . I

just knew in my heart that I didn't want to have it, but I went to the

consultation with the surgeon anyway. He, of course, recommended that I

schedule the surgery as soon as possible because he said he would rather see

me on an elective basis than an emergency basis. When I left his office we

just agreed that I would think about it. I did think about it and went to

do research about alternatives. I had done a liver cleanse about two years

before, so when I came across information about cleansing helping the

gallbladder I started it right away. That was three months ago and I haven't

had the surgery and I am SO glad. I have had fewer than a half dozen

episodes of gallbladder pain since then (all the result, I might add, of

really foolish food choices on my part!). Other than those I have felt great

and have seen improvements in other aspects of my health as well. I try to

do the cleanse every two weeks and will continue as long as I see results.

This has been long-winded, but I just wanted to say that I hope you will take

advantage of the archives and read some of the testimonials as well. There

is a wealth of information right there for the taking.

Please do let us know how things go, okay?

in health,

Hi Joan,

Sure we can help you. Start by reading the testimonies and viewing

the pictures and information on this site...

http://www.curezone.com

It will answer a lot of questions, give you methods of cleansing, etc.

I like the Dr. Hulga liver/gallbladder cleanse. A lot of

people, most I think, have used her flush with 99% results. Everyone

who has cleansed the liver, even those without gb pain, have cleansed

many stones, sludge, and toxins out of their bodies and are realizing

better health and feeling.

Good luck.

Barry.
