I don't know the answer to this question - but is your friend taking any

probiotics and if so which ones? I have a reason for asking.

Friend in hospital, does anyone know side effects of primrose

oil

I have a friend who is a paraplegic in a wheel chair. He is one of the

coolest people I know and one night 3 weeks ago he started vomiting

and couldn't stop. They took him to the hospital and his gallbladder

and pancreas are swollen. They want to wait for the swelling to go

down to take out the gallbladder. They have him in the hospital

drugged out of his mind on pain killers, feeding him through an iv and

they wake him up every other hour at night to take his bp or do some

other inane action that keeps him from getting deep sleep at night.

When i went to visit him I saw multi-colored containers on his

nightstand, I don't know if it was jello or some other sugar

containing substance that they brought to him. I kept all my

observations, judgments, disgust to myself but interestingly out of

nowhere he asks me to research any side effects of primrose oil b/c

that is supposed to help with a swollen pancreas.

I am truly fearful for his life while he is in the hospital and I want

to help him get this oil if he believes it will help him. Belief is

the most important part but I honestly don't know what the side

effects are with primrose oil. If anyone knows anything about this, I

would be indebted to you if you share this info with me.

This is a pretty informative article on pancreatitis. It sounds like

they think gallstones are the problem and that's why they want to

remove it. So something that could dissolve the gallstones would be

of the essence.

This one talks about the difference between chronic and acute

pancreatitis - what is confusing here it is says for acute it clears

up on its own in a couple days, the chronic is where it may be caused

by gallstones and may need the gallbladder removed. I'm worried for

your friend that they're going to remove an organ unnecessarily!

Really, he should get a second opinion on that before he lets them

remove it! My sister-in-law is an MD and told me of a case where a

guy had extreme stomach pain, they wound up removing his colon and

after examining it found out he was only constipated. Now he lives

with a colostomy bag the rest of his life. Life without a

gallbladder is not ideal, if I were him I'd try to buy some time and

find some remedies for gallstones, like maybe eating more vegetables

and using malic acid.

Christapher,

I don't think he takes any. This is SAD person. Before this happened I

tried for a while to get him enthused about going to Whole Foods with

me. I have been worried for a while b/c he had horrible dark circles

under his eyes and I told him it could be related to digestion.

Great article, I'll probably print it and bring it in to him. That

story you just wrote about the constipation and the colon removal is

just another reason why i am so scared for him. Everyone in his life

only knows that MD stands for minor deity. He's in a horrible,

horrible situation. Can you imagine being paralyzed and then in a bed

for three weeks alternating b/w pain inside your body with painkillers

that make you unconscious coupled with being woken up every second and

add not being fed solid food? It sounds like something from the 9th

circle of Dantes Inferno. If I could carry 200 lbs of dead weight, I

think I'd break him out of there.

He's barely conscious. His parting words when I visited him were " can

you research the primrose oil and get back to me " I am just happy he

somehow knew about that.

Hi,

I would take the coconut oil/water route before EPO. Ray Peat has lots to say

about PUFA's.

Given your friend most likely has thyroid issues, I would follow Peat's advice

on this one.

MSM is an anti-inflammatory. So is DMSO. I would sneak him DMSO for the

fastest results to

get rid of the swelling. That might put off the removal of the organ which is

certainly a

'death' wish. This might put enough of a scare into your friend for him to give

up the SAD

diet. As Broda says, the thyroid should be cancelled out first and not

by a blood test.

Just checking in again with this question. Does anyone know if evening

primrose oil would be better from standard process or mountainroseherbs?
