Gallstones/Liver - Andy

[Guest guest]

Hi Joanne,

I also had/have liver problems though not as serious as yours sound. I've gotten

a lot of

help from eating a diet high in fresh veggies and fruits and doing vegetable

juices and

taking antioxidants (NAC, Molybedenum).

When these things were first suggested to me they sounded far too simplistic but

I have to

say, they've made a big difference.

I've notice that since my liver has started to clear chelation rounds effect me

differently. I

can feel the effect of the DMSA/ALA more (mercury moving) and I'm guessing it's

because

the mercury can now move through the detox pathways more easily.

Now, if I go for even a day without lots of veggies I feel starved.

I'm not sure if this helps but I hope so,

:^)

I'm really struggling with a lack of guidance in the books and files

on serious congestion & inflammation issues right now.

Yesterday, after Ultrasound results, I was put through a " Hidascan "

(sp? Heidascan?) - which took almost two hours & required both a

radioactive injection & another injection for observing

liver/gallbladder function.

I fully expect to be told I have a duodenal ulcer & inflammation

(which would be very old & I find was overlooked by doctors years

ago), blocked bile ducts, and gallbladder blockage. There are large

liver tumors, too, which were found in '03. Since I need lots of

digestive enzymes, pancreatic function probably is weak. I was told

to expect endoscope-type testing & perhaps one other procedure, and

have suspected I have Crohn's for some time.

The books offer very little information on situations like this. I

don't want to think about surgery/hospitaliza tion, which we are to

avoid. And I REALLY don't want to be injected or knocked out with

any more toxins. I'm very chemical sensitive and sensitive to many

foods & phenolic compounds. On the other hand, the books tell us

not to do gallstone/liver cleases.

I am certain the accelerated movement of mercury and other toxins

from my liver caused my duodenum/upper small intestine to flare up.

I was at 12 mg ALA/50mg DMSA, and 2-3 days off round when things

really blocked up. I've lost ten pounds in the last two weeks and

won't have much left to go on if this continues.

I'm not on cortisol & don't have access to a doctor comfortable with

this. I've supplemented with Isocort since January, but it contains

lactase & lactose. Dairy has been a life-long problem, but I

haven't identified what the problem is other than NAET testing

confirming sensitivity.

I feel as STUCK with chelation as my liver is STUCK with junk. What

is appropriate from here?

Thanks for any guidance. My doctor is very willing to listen to

suggestions you might relay. Could I ask her to call you?

Alessa, thanks so much for sharing this with me. When I added ALA I

was immediately aware of liver congestion going down, but then I

think it started working too well & freed up a bunch of stones.

Although I'm waiting for test results from my doctor, I could see

the duct blockages on the ultrasound. I only had 4-5 rounds of very

low dose ALA. Also, the liver congestion was rebuilding within a

few days after each round.

I've had to eat as you do, and take the supplements, for many

years. When I don't, I really fall apart. Right now, I feel like

chelation was working too well! I'll plan on going ahead and doing

procedures to test for Crohn's if my doctor agrees, because I also

suspect these problems reflect an autoimmune/inflammatory reaction

to mercury coming through my liver due to ALA. Whatever I do learn,

I hope it will provide helpful info for others.
