Re: one more question or 2

Hey again Dawn,

I like you, you are asking questions right up my alley. :-)

A gallbladder wall should normally have a thickness of 2mm. This

could vary depending on genetics, etc. Ultrasound can determine size.

Mine was 4mm which was considered a 'thickened' gb wall caused by

diseasing, aging, heretitary, bad dieting, etc.

Once the walls become thickened (usually because the inter part of

the gb walls are degraded and causing problems like creating

gallstones) it is hard to reverse that process. If you have

gallstones and your gb is still good, you have a better chance of

getting them out and reconditioning your gb to function well again

with good dieting. If you are too late then even dieting will not

reverse that degraded process. Dieting and flushing can only

temperarily relieve the colic but stones will most likely reaccur

even if they are removed.

Hope this helps in some way.

Barry.

Well, Barry, you are a wealth of info. Where did you get it all? I

think in theory though I have to disagree. I need to get a copy of

my report. I know it said there was thickening but don't remember the

measurement. Also, I cannot get ultrasound cheaply and I don't know

if my Dr would order it (required) since he does not agree with what

I am doing. From what I have read in natural health, the body renews

itself continually. And we build it to be what it is. I do not know

the answer to my own question, but I firmly believe that if I

continue searching I will find the answer to my inflamed gall

bladder. Dawn

Agnes, I love you. I was thinking along anti-inflammatory line, but

had not looked it up yet. I actually have on my shelf 6 of the

mentioned herbs, if nettle is stinging nettle. I can't believe you

have finally told me what motherwort is for. I've had it on my shelf

since my last childbirth. The midwife used it on me. Thanks again.

Dawn,

I'm only telling you what I have learned from the Internet, doctors,

and searching, searching, searching. Don't get me wrong here. A gb

can definitely be reconditioned and the problems can be reversed with

dieting, flushing, weight maintaining, etc. If a gb gets too diseased

or has decayed to a certain degree, nothing will bring it back and it

would probably be better to have it removed. I'm not saying that is

your case. Only you can find that out by yourself. I would definitely

try anything first to reverse the problem before surgery. Better to

keep an organ than to throw it out (As long as it works). After

surgery my gallbladder was cut open and the inter walls were in very

bad condition. The walls were 4mm thick and it was at the point of

disease. My doctor told me that even if I had removed only the 1cm

stone, it was most likely (over 50% chance) that my gb would have

continued to create stones no matter what my dieting habits were.

Weither this is true or not didn't matter to me because I wanted to

get the pain over and done with at that point. Also, if the gb decays

too much you are in danger of many other problems. Cancer, a burst

gb, etc. If a gb burst open during an attack, you are really in

trouble. The mess inside would demand open surgery and a major

cleanup inside. Anyway, keep searching and hopefully you will find

the answers you are looking for. Good luck to you with your health.
