Response from Dr. Cabot

[Guest guest]

When I was in the middle of my gallbladder attack last week I emailed

Dr. Cabot through her website. I just got a response today from

someone at her site. I will attach it below. I hope you find the

information helpful.

Hi

Generally speaking the gall bladder becomes diseased or dysfunctional

because the liver is producing unhealthy bile. The bile is either

toxic or contains excess amounts of fat and bacteria.

To improve gall bladder problems, we must improve the quality of the

bile, by improving the liver function.

Even after the gall bladder is removed there may still be problems in

the bile ducts inside & outside the liver. This is because the

underlying problem of toxic bile has not been corrected.

Indeed after gall bladder removal the following things may still

happen -

Stones & gravel may form in the bile ducts inside & outside the liver

The liver may develop fatty changes

Thus it is important to take extra care of your liver if you have

gall bladder problems, or if you have had your gall bladder removed.

For gall bladder problems (such as stones & chronic

inflammation/infection) and toxic bile, I recommend the following -

Follow the way of eating on pages 20 to 28 of my " Healthy Liver &

Bowel Book "

Avoid all dairy products - see www.notmilk.com

Dairy products, margarine & deep fried foods are the worst thing for

your gall bladder & liver

Drink plenty of water throughout the day

Drink raw vegetable juice everyday - see good juice recipes in the

Healthy Liver & Bowel Book

Raw juicing is vitally important

Take the natural supplements -

" MSM Plus Vitamin C powder " - one teaspoon daily in raw juices

" Livatone Plus " powder - ½ tsp twice daily in juices, or 2

capsules

twice daily with food

" FiberTone " powder - 1 to 2 tsp with breakfast

If you have had gall bladder stones for some years and they cause

minimal discomfort, you may want to do a gall bladder flush with

olive oil & citrus juice, as discussed in my Healthy Liver & Bowel

Book.

If however, your stones are causing severe or acute discomfort, the

gall bladder flush would be too severe for you.

Some people with large stones in the gall bladder will never have any

problems, and should not rush into surgery. In such cases you may

want to try and dissolve the stones gradually over several years by

following the Healthy Liver & Bowel Book diet, and taking the

supplements above. Of course you will also be doing your liver a good

service, as you will be removing the unhealthy fats from the liver.

You may be suffering with chronic infections because your immune

system is weakened and over loaded. To reduce the workload of the

immune system it is vital to improve the liver function. Thus you

need to follow the way of eating on pages 20 to 30 of the " Healthy

Liver & Bowel Book " .

You also need to take " Livatone Plus " ----- powder, half a teaspoon

twice daily in juices, or 2 capsules twice daily with food.

Raw vegetable juices are vital and to achieve an antibiotic effect, I

suggest that you add one to ½-1 cloves of raw garlic, 1/4 small

onion, quarter of an inch of ginger root, and some radish to each of

your juice bases. A good juice base is carrot, celery, apple, and

beet, although feel free to add any raw vegetable or fruit that you

enjoy. Apple & pear are good at disguising the taste of the garlic

and onion.

Natural antibiotic supplements to fight infections are ---

" MSM Plus Vitamin C " powder - half a teaspoon twice daily in juice

" OliveLife " capsules (oliveleaf extract) - one capsule three time

daily, with food

" Selenomune " powder - one teaspoon daily in juices

You must avoid foods that contain high counts of bacteria, fungi and

viruses - these are all dairy products, preserved meats, delicatessen

meats, hamburger meats, smoked meats, and processed or junk foods.

This is because these foods will trigger or exacerbate your

infections.
