I don't recall exactly when my last gb attack was, but I do recall that it was very short (even by my standards) and minor. My eating habits aren't restrictive, by any means. I think for me the flushing did the trick. I also think, though, that each body is different and what works one way for one person, works an entirely different way for someone else..... rachel~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 Dear Dawn, Every 'body' is different. You may be one of those 'lucky' people who flush once or twice and never have colic pain again in your lifetime. You may also be one of those people who have flushed 133 times over 4 1/2 years and still have gallbladder pain. It may work after a few flushes or you may be looking at a lifetime of flushing every two weeks. You need to examine your own body to determine what is the cause of your pain and then you can battle your problem with the correct methods. There are logical reasons for both of those types of results. The first person may have only had a few duct stones or sludge to move out and the second person may have a huge stone that won't pass out with flushing or any number of variations in between. Personally, I knew exactly what was causing my colic pain, I knew when and why it would come, and I went from there. I flushed 8 times over 2 months and was still having pain 2 to 3 mights a week that was sending me to ER for antispasmodic shots. I monitored my flushing results with ultrasound to see if my gallbladder was clear of stones. I had 3 ultrasounds over 4 months because there were times I thought I had finally gotten that 1 cm 'problem' stone out of my gallbladder only to be brought back to reality and to continue to fight the battle with flushings. In time you will find out what is working for you or not working for you. You will then want to vary the flushing methods or even opt for another route altogether. Health and happiness with pain free living is the goal. You need to find out what it actually is that is causing your colic, when it comes and why. Then you can determine the correct path to pain free living and happiness again. If you are determined to keep your gb then you need to keep dieting properly, herbing and/or supplementing, etc and flushing. Lithotripsy may also be another option for you if you are a candidate for that procedure (Less than 4 cholesterol gallstones with none being over 1 cm in size). Surgery is the last option to study and consider when you have exhausted all other options for health and happiness. Good luck with your search for health and happiness.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 I am hoping to have another ultrasound in a couple of months when we have a little more money.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 I believe this too, I just want to know there are people who have achieved the " Nirvana " of gb/liver cleansing.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 Hi ARthur, I , too, have chronic fatigue, have had it 3 years now. I take really good care of myself (most of the time), eat well, do liver flushes, take supps etc. and I am still fatigued too. In my case, I think I have an infection in my sinus that my immune system cannot get too and will require surgery. You mentioned mercury, have you had your fillings out and root canals out and cavitations cleaned? gallstones] Re: end to pain, suffering, and flushing??? > > i've had ultrasound and mri done on my liver. none showed any stones. meanwhile i passed about 800 over the past three weeks. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn Stones that are up in the liver usually NEVER show up. That is why no doctor knows about those stones ... Doctors knows only about problems that they can diagnose ... We just assume that stones are there, because we can see them out. Like with parasites. Most people think that they are free of parasites because they have never seen them. If stones cause Fatty or Enlarged or Swollen Liver, or high liver enzymes, that can be diagnosed, if it is very bad ... The only way to diagnose liver stones is liver flush. (also liver surgery, Liver transplant and autopsy can diagnose liver stones) Agnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 i had my fillings out years ago. never had root canals. other sources of mercury are vaccinations and the thermometer that broke in my mouth as a child. from what i understand, dental mercury pales in comparison to the mercury in vaccinations. i have tried andy cutlers chelation protocol, and definitely noticed something going on, so i am inclined to believe that mercury is a part of a my problem. getting it out is another story. the other thing that seems to do something is a small amount of squash juice mixed with other vegetable juice. hopefully the liver flushes will enable the liver to work better and be more efficient at removing metals. the best thing i have found so far is this flush, andy cutlers chelation. ozone saunas, and rvaf diet. i took supplements for years under the guidance of a fancy kinesiology guy and it made me worse overall, even though i was brainwashed into believing that it was working. raw foods helped me reverse all the damage i did with the supplements. raw meats and veggies give me alot of strength but i am looking for a way to eat normally. in a pinch i can get some energy if i need it by eating this way.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 Dear Dawn, Liver stones are very rare. Gallstones are the main problems for colic pain. Liver stones will not usually show up on ultrasound but gallstones that are cholesterol or calcium based will show up in the gallbladder. The main thing you are concerned with is how to stop the pain. The pain you are having is from your gallbladder and not your liver. This is how it works. Bile is produced in the liver and travels down to the gallbladder. If the bile is lacking in an ingredient or has too much of an ingredient, or the gallbladder is sluggish, the bile will stagnate in the gallbladder and stones will be made. Stones are usually formed within the gallbadder because of the concentration of that bile when the gallbladder removes water from the bile. Some people believe that small stones are formed in the liver and then drop down into the galbladder. I believe most of the gallstones are formed in the gallbladder and not the liver. It does happen that the liver does produce stones but it is more rare. If those stones get too big to pass out, the gallbladder is too sluggish to push them out, or the stones get stuck in the cystic or common duct, pain will result. So, if you are trying to figure out how to get pain-free, look into the gallbladder for gallstones, diet better for the liver and bile, and flush to cleanse the liver and gallbladder. Ultrasound will tell you the condition of your gallbladder and if any gallstones are sitting inside it. Good luck with you search for health and happiness.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 Dawn; To elaborate a little bit more on the subject of no more pain after having flushed for awhile I'll try to explain so that it is repeated one more time for the whole group. Before my first gallbladder attack, that is the one that sent me to the hospital, I had other more minor attacks. These were just preempting what was to come, they were painful but nothing like the times I went to the hospital. I had my first hospital visit on February 16th, very early in the morning around 03:00. They did an x-ray of my body in the adominal area but found nothing. Three days later I had another attack and this time they did an MRI and found my gallbladder to be thickened and to have " A " stone, as they called it. My follow up with the doctor got me a request to call a particular sugeon within the next two weeks and schedule an appointment to have my gallbladder removed. I never called. My doctor did however provide me a prescription for pain medication to deal with any further attacks even after I had started doing the flushes. I ended up going the he hospital two more times over the next seven months. The third trip happened because I had fallen off the wagon, so to speak, because I was getting away with eating pretty freely whatever I wanted again thinking I'd gotten rid of my stones completely but I had only done one flush so far. The third trip was on March 22nd of that year. From then on I was being much better about what I ate and when I ate. I would still have attacks and was surprised at some of the attacks because I'd eaten good foods that were not hydrogenated or of saturated animal fats. However, they did contain foods that stimulated the liver and gallbladder and that was what caused me attacks that would have me taking up to four roxicets to get rid of the pain. I always said if I had to have more I needed to go to the hospital for that type of pain management. The last trip to the hospital was on October 27th of '99', and the problem wasn't because of having " A " or any stones. I was having liver damage with Hepatitis showing its ugly head. I was, according to an extensive ultrasound, stone free and my liver and gallbladder looked prefectly healthy otherwise, except for the enlarged bile ducts and the report noting AST, ALK, ALT and bilirubin to be off the chart along with Hep C and B showing in the mix. It didn't show the C and B as now active just that it was there previously. Well, this prompted me to start studing a bit deeper into my new liver problem. That was how I came to be aware of the Liver Doctor Dr, Cabot and her book " The Liver Cleansing Diet " . I read her book and it all came to light what I had done wrong in attempting to rid myself of the gallstones. The worst thing I had done was to resolve not to eat any fat products, what so ever. I literally avoided all foods with any sort of fat. The problem with avoiding all fats is that the liver needs fat. It needs the fat to produce the cholesterol that is necessary for the liver and body's cellular structure. Talk about feeling like a fool for not taking more time to do more in depth research regarding gallbladder cleansing. I went right out and got all kinds of fats to eat. I mean to tell you I got avacados, flax seed oil, hemp oil, primerose oil. I started eating primrose oil while driving my truck. I would get urges to have gulps of flax seed oil or hemp oil. My body was craving it for months. I don't get those cravings now but I still keep taking in fats as best as possible and avoid, like poison, hydrogenated oils and satruated animal fats. Don't get me too wrong here, I have, on occation now, eaten some mighty fine prime rib but I have also avoided eating the juicy fat that comes with it like I use to do. I use to have to avoid eating things containing cole slaw and pecans too because of how strong a stimulant they are for the liver and gallbladder, but now I can eat these without any problem. Some of the protocal that I used are these; The standard oil and fruit juice flush using freash squeezed grapefruit juice and the most virgin of olive oils I could buy. I would often premempt my flushes by fasting for twendy four to fourty eight hours or more and drink only fresh sqeezed apple juice for that time period with some other fresh sqeezed juice like my special drink of a twenty four ounce carot juice drink containing 1/4 of a beet, two celery sticks, one ounce of parsley, and one half of a whole lemon. (must keep it stired to enjoy the lemon at all levels, - now my mouths watering) I also would do castor oil packs and have colonics, which would also have ozone insuflated with it after around an hour of being connected. The ozone would be added for approximately one half, to an hour, or the saturation point. (saturation can be noted by an almost burning sensation in the throat, or the skin getting pretty pink, especially the palms) Usually there will be more liver dumps happening after the ozone is turned off and you start working towards clearing out the bowels to be disconnected. I also used colloidal silver and the zapper, but make my own colloidal silver. So, Dawn, I hope this was the information of which you wanted. And I hope you see there are more ways in which to approch keeping your gallbladder inside you, and not thrown into a trash can. It does however take resolve, lots of it.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 Thanks, Dale. I've been thinking of purchasing that book, but I will for sure now and as I have suspected, I am pretty sure that my damage came from some extremely low fat eating on more than one occasion. The only other typical that I fit that I know of is many pregnancies. I am thin, tall, under 40, and eat a pretty healthy diet. I do include avacados, nuts, and I had a piece of Salmon the other day after two weeks of no animal products. It was divine. I am also replacing my light olive oil with extra virgin. Thanks for all the info.
