pain relief and thoughts/questions on cleansing

[Guest guest]

This is long.

I had an attack on Wed after a trip to the big city. We live in the

sticks and went to Mesa for the day. I have had a near perfect diet

for several weeks now. I decided to have a turkey sub on wheat with

lots of veggies would be all right. I also had a York peppermint

pattie. That is my treat because it only has 3 grams of fat, but I

rarely have it. Anyway, those must have been enough for an attack.

Took my demerol, did a castor oil pack, ended up getting up and

getting in the hot bath. Got through it. Yesterday I did nothing I

can think of to bring on attack. Ate fruit and veggie juices for

breakfast and lunch. Had whole wheat pasta salad with veggies. I

originally made it with chicken for my family. I took it all out, but

may have eaten a couple of small pieces. Well, when it started, I was

so discouraged. I could tell it was coming on hard. My stomach felt

like a rock. I finally decided in total desperation to skip the

demerol and do the hot cold treatment recommended by Dr. Schulze. I

probably did it for 10 minutes. My husband came up after the second

cold treatment because I was screaming. He thought I was in agony, I

was just freezing. After 10 minutes the pain and attack was gone.

Now, I was full in, at the stage I usually take the pain meds. I did

go ahead and take an extremely hot bath to soothe my emotions more

than anything.

I feel like I am opening to the option of surgery and it is really

upsetting to me. However I have wondered if I am going through a

cleansing crisis. Many health gurus say things can get a lot worse

before they get better. What do you think?

I found this website about using diet to dissolve stones

http://www.chem-tox.com/gallstones/ I thought it might be helpful. I

have lived these priciples about 75% of my life and the last few

months closer to 90%. Dietarily, accept for sugars and meat, I do not

understand why I am going through this. I guess it doesn't matter if

I understand or not. I had my amalgams all removed about 5 1/2 years

ago.

I feel like now, I have no choice but to be perfect with the dietary

guidelines outlined above. I am toying with the idea of doing about

70% juicing. I am intrigued by 's experinces with that. It

ocurred to me that FOR ME I should be having acceptable oils with

every one of my meals. I think I am building up to much pressure

during the day and then when I do eat some fat, it just throws me

into an attack.

That first attack the other night I took some ES at the beginning and

when it was over took some olive oil in grapefruit juice. Next day

saw stones. Last night did not take ES, but took some olive oil and

lemon juice and this morning noticed some larger and smaller stones

in my stool. Sorry for being graphic.

I am also trying to avoid any allergenic foods that would cause an

attack. If any of you on this group besides Suzanne have long term

success, IE avoided surgery and have no more pain and are maitaining

with infrequent cleansing, I would sure like to hear about it. My

resolve is weakening. Thanks, Dawn
