Guest guest Posted July 14, 1999 Report Share Posted July 14, 1999 Somebody asked if gallstones have to be removed. I have two and my doc said " Leave them there and eat a low-fat diet. " Unless they bother you you can just leave them alone, and the low-fat diet should help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 1999 Report Share Posted July 15, 1999 Lib, Seems like I've heard that too. I'm sure there can be exceptions, but I have a kidney stone problem and you can also live with them as long as they aren't causing harm. Mine was 1.5 cms (some kind of a record breaker) and it was literally cutting the inside of my kidney so it had to be removed by lithotripsy. Incidentally, have you also heard thta there is a technique similar to lithotripsy that's used for pulverization and elimination of gallstones? I know they use the procedure in Europe but I don't know about whether it's done in the US. Much less invasive and I would assume safer than surgery. Take care, Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 Hi group Last week I drank the blended Organic Lemon, Olive oil 1 1/2 cups distilled water Liver Flush from Hulda 's book Sat Sun Tue Wed Thur and Friday.....then planned on this long weekend, the Liver/Gallbladder Cleanse to see if I had any liver or gallstones... ..did just as Hulda and Saul's (modified hulda's cleanse)said and the 2nd day, today have been seeing alot of things float on top of water light green and tan as stated in this group, but they are not stonelike, they are soft and very small, they are irregular shape and they are not smooth, such as marbles. Still expelling alot of liquid. Have I just got the beginning of collection?? and the worst are to come,?? such as Stonelike and Larger.??...I plan to repeat cleans in 2 weeks and hoping to Zap the week prior....I am on maintenance parasite program now but maybe need to add, more to the maintenace, of once a week....would like to hear from you about what I am finding and any suggestions on further cleansing till I have a clean liver and gallbladder. Chronic Fatigue still has me down with no energy, along with the work that I do lifting freight about 2 to 3 hours a day.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 Keep up the good work! It pays after the cleanse is over and not during. For the fatigue have you done a good colon cleanse with fasting? Bernadette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2001 Report Share Posted January 31, 2001 Hi. A week or so ago I posted that I was at one scheduled for gall bladder surgery, and in tremendous pain. I trusted a friend who passed along the recipe for a cleanse, I did it one night, and never had pain again and cancelled the surgery. There are lots of cleanse recipes on the net, and it would be a great idea to look up " gallbladder cleanse " . some recipes are more elaborate than mine. Here is what I was told to do: " Fast for at least half a day, beginning at 2pm, except for water. The night before, do an enema. At 7pm, be prepared to go to bed, and have the ingredients near the bed. Stay lying down as much as possible. At 8pm, drink one ounce of the oil and one ounce of the lemon juice. Repeat every fifteen minutes until all has been used. " Well, I did as I was told, because I had asked the doctor who was going to do the surgery. He laughed at me, and said it wouldn't help but it wouldn't hurt, so go ahead if I wanted to. (the surgery was to be two weeks later). So I did it, and passed 20 to 30 stones. (You know what they are when you see them). I never felt any more pain and I do the cleanse at least twice a year now to keep from building up stones. Some people do it much more often than that. The net even has pictures of stones. It saved me lots of money, plus if you read you find that the body needs the gall bladder and many people have severe problems when it is taken out. I am not recommending anything to anybody, only telling what took care of my problem for me. There is lots of information on the net about gallbaldders, cleanses, and stones.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2001 Report Share Posted January 31, 2001 when reading the entire post, the ingredients and amounts are listed. Remember, I am not at all advising anyone do this cleanse, merely reporting what I was told to do. I used 16 ounces COLD PRESSED Olive Oil and the juice of 12-16 squeezed lemons. susan.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 > > I just got some bad news. I have gallstones! I was having awful pain > so I had an u/s. The doctor said if the pain comes back we'll talk > about having my gallbladder out. Anyone have any suggestions for some > natural ways to take care of this problem? ==>Hi . If the doctor didn't do an ultrasound you may not have gall stones. However, I'm sure it is quite a shock to think you do, but it is extremely common. There are many natural ways to take care of it, and this diet with the high " good " fats plus all of the supplements is the best way. It will naturally dissolve gall stones. Also see this article by Dr. Tom Cowan: http://www.westonaprice.org/askdoctor/gallstones.html Here's another article " Priming Your Gallbladder for Fats " ; http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/fats4.php > > I have to share some good news though - since I started this diet, I have been able to get off 2 of my prescriptions. I've been able to get off my blood pressure meds and my cholesterol meds. I've also lost 30 pounds. My doctor was never planning on getting me off those meds so I had to do it myself. Then when I went back for a check-up she said the meds are working and I said no they're not, I stopped them. ==>Yippee! Hooray! for ! I would have liked to see the look on your doctor's face. Very very well done my dear! Onward & upward! Cheers, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 > > Oh, one of the things I forgot to mention is that my doctor told me to eat no fat because of the gallstones. NO fat. Hmmmm. ==>Hi . No fat of any kind would definitely cause a " catch 22 " for you since good fats are very necessary for liver and gall bladder health, digestion, and for overall health, for that matter. The liver produces bile mainly from cholesterol. Bile consists of water, cholesterol, other good fats, bile pigments, bile salts and sodium bicarbonate. Bile salts (sodium glycocholate and sodium taurocholate) are produced by the liver from cholesterol. The liver also breaks down harmful or toxic substances (toxins) absorbed from the intestine or manufactured elsewhere in the body and then excretes them as harmless by-products into the bile or blood. But when the liver gets clogged up by too many toxins it can't get rid of, it becomes less able to produce bile like it should, and the bile mixture won't be properly balanced so it can become too concentrated, which can produce gall stones. Also the sphincter of Oddi is involved. This sphincter controls secretions from the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder into the duodenum of the small intestine, into which stomach contents are emptied. If it becomes tight or closed, bile is prevented from draining into the intestine and instead flows into the gallbladder, where it is stored and concentrated, which can form gall stones. The sphincter of Oddi function is directly related to the production of a hormone called Cholecystokinin (CCK) which is stimulated by fat- or protein-rich chyme entering the duodenum. When the sphincter becomes overly tight it does not allow adequate drainage of the pancreatic and bile ducts. With the ingestion of a meal, the gallbladder contracts and there is a simultaneous decrease in the resistance in the sphincter of Oddi zone. Also we know that candida toxins makes all of the body's cell membranes go rigid/stiff, so this also affects the Sphincter of Oddi function, liver function, etc., and it means cells are as able to communicate properly so the important hormones produced, such as CCK, aren't as able to act like they should. This stuff is directly from Medical information, but doctors have been swindled by drug companies and their own Associations so they buy into the cholesterol scam, without regard to their medical training and common sense. Here's what I suggest: 1. Eat all protein with its natural fats. 2. In addition take 1/4 tsp. each of coconut oil and butter together (the combination helps each other) with each meal, it can be melted over cooked foods. Increase the amount by 1/4 tsp. of each with each meal every 7 days. Ensure your meals always contain good protein, and take Betaine hydrochloric acid supplements and 6 ounces of the Electrolyte Drink with every meal. 3. Do a Castor Oil Pack over your liver for 1 hour every day for 7 days as follows: What you will need: -cold pressed castor oil -flannel cloth -cling wrap plastic -heating pad a. Saturate the flannel with castor oil (soaked flannel can be stored in a plastic bag and reused.) b. Lay it over the liver area on your right side, an inch or so above your waist and mostly towards your back. c. Cover it with cling crap plastic and tape it in place. d. Set the heating pad to medium. e. Place the heating pad over it for 1 hour. 4. On day 8, after doing the castor oil pack, start taking a normal dose of Cod Liver Oil every day, and add diakon radish juice to the Electrolyte Drink as follows: -Extract the juice of daikon radishes in a juicer. It can be kept in the refrigerator for 2 weeks at a time. -Here's the schedule of amounts to add to the Electrolyte Drink for each meal (3 times per day) - it takes 39 days total: Day 1-3: 2 tablespoons Day 4-6: 3 tablespoons Day 7-9: 4 tablespoons Day 10-12: 5 tablespoons Day 13-15: 6 tablespoons Day 16-18: 7 tablespoons Day 19-21: 8 tablespoons Day 22-24: 7 tablespoons Day 25-27: 6 tablespoons Day 28-30: 5 tablespoons Day 31-33: 4 tablespoons Day 34-36: 3 tablespoons Day 37-39: 2 tablespoons Note: If you get pains in your gall bladder area when you start on Cod Liver Oil, cut the dose in half, and increase it gradually. At the same time help your liver decongest by doing coffee enemas and dry skin brushing. Let me know how you do on this program.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi , Up your magnesium if you can. Even though cholesterol may not be particularly harmful, many gallstones are deposits of cholesterol and magnesium should help metabolize them. To give you some hop, my MIL had gallstones, was told she needed gallblader surgery and by the time she saw the specialist was no longer a candidate. She watched her food and drank her local water supply which happens to have a lot of magnesium in it. _______________________________________ No viruses found in this outgoing message Scanned by iolo AntiVirus 1.5.3.5 http://www.iolo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I hope I have posted this to the correct address.  Hello group, does anyone know how to get rid of gallstones naturally?  My doctor wants me to have my gallbladder removed, and I do not want to do that. I have been taking a product called Stone Free for several months, and so far it has not done very much. I don't think I could stand drinking olive oil.  I had been using lemons in water also, and I should probably start that again. Does anyone know where to buy unfiltered, unsweetened apple juice?  Any suggestions? Thank you, blessings, -Janet   " I don't believe that there is anything else available anyplace in the world at any price - with or without a prescription - that has been clinically proven to do all the things that Juice Plus+ has been shown to do.

I think I do pass stones...because when I have a BM at times it looks like pebbles of sand,but they are black...and they are hard as rocks. I have no insurance,so I cannot go to a dr. +++Hi , Do you have pain in your gall bladder area? You can pinpoint the area by looking it up on Google Images. If you do, please describe it, and when after eating that it occurs, etc. Also are your stomach aches in your actual stomach or lower abdomen or off to the right or left of your stomach? Also when do you get those pains, i.e, after eating (hours or right away, etc.)? Do you get heartburn? I assume you are still changing over to my diet, since you are having oatmeal which isn't on my program.
