Re: Confused and trying to avoid surgury

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Sorry to hear you about your health and hope you find relief soon.

I have had gallstone problems since May of 2001. I was actually

scheduled for surgery, but without my consent so I still have my

gallbladder. I told my doctor that I would do the lemon/olive oil

flush and he just said okay-and to call if I need him for anything.

He never made any comment as to whether he thought it works or not.

I did ask him to have the " stones " I removed analysed, but he said

there was no test he was aware of to determine if they were actually

from my gallbladder.

I have done several flushes- all with the success of releasing many

stones. I have never experience pain while doing the flush. The

first one I did, I felt really sick the next day, like I had the

flu. But on the consecutive flushes - I feel okay the next day.

(The flush itself makes me nauseous but I get through it)

I have never really committed to the disciplined diet it takes to rid

myself of all the stones. I also haven't exercised as I heard one

should. I also never did the flushes on a consistent basis.

So I still have stones and they still give me problems. I am now on

a restricted diet and I will flush consistently every two weeks until

the stones are gone.

I hope this helps.

Here's to your health and mine

Thanks for the response. I am currently having a cramping sensation

in my right side just under my rib cage. It isn't severaly painful or

anything just uncomfortable. It feels better when I strech out my

torso. Have you ever had that kind of sensation? When I went to the

surgen he told me it didn't sound like gallbladder trouble to him so

he referred me to the GI specialist. They said it sounded more like

GERD so they put me on medicine for that. Anyway, I just needed to

hear other people's opionion and then either take the leap or wait

until the pain gets so bad I have to do something. And yes, it did

help.

Thanks,

Hi ,

My experience with gallbladder pain and also from what I have read

it that when there is pain, you can't eliminate it by altering your

position. In other words, stretching out your side wouldn't relieve

the gallbladder pain - you would still feel it.

Again, hope this helps.

Take Care

I've had mild gallbladder pain that seemed to be relieved when I

stretched. What is GERD?

GERD is GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease.

How do you know that it is gallbladder pain? That's what I'm trying

to figure out. I've pretty much decided that I am going to try doing

the flush but I am going to wait until next weekend when I actually

have some time off from work. I'm hoping that it will do something

useful and not make me feel worse. Anyway, thanks for responding.

Gallstones are sometimes only diagnosed through positive ID. Ex. -

in an ultrasound. Mind you, many people have all of the classic

symptoms, but no stones show up in the ultrasound. That may not

mean that you have no stones. Instead it may mean that they haven't

found them.

Gallbladder problems are many times a progressive problem, one that

gets worse over a period of time. (The exception is when stones get

stuck in ducts - this would cause an immediate reaction) The

initial symptoms may seem to be acid reflux and a slight tightness

under the ribs. This tightness may feel as though it should be

stretched to get relief.

This may go on for a long period of time (a year ot more), and then

you may get a sever attack of pain. This could last from one to

three hours (or more). It is enough to wake you from your sleep.

It seems like a heart attack - or something life threatening.

Many people have found relief from the gallbladder flush. Even if

you don't do the flush I would suggest that you go to Dr.

Cabot's website to learn more about how the liver controls our

health. Getting the liver healthy is of first importance.

http://www.liverdoctor.com

There are many things that you can do to achieve health. The flush

is one aspect. Eating foods which stimulate the gallbladder will

also help to clean it out. Mind you, these foods will cause a

sensative gallbladder to react painfully. So get the gallbladder

healthier and then start to maintain it with these foods.

The pain will not automatically get better with your first flush,

but bit by bit it should lesson in most cases. You will feel a

surge of energy and know that you're on the right path.

Until you get time to do the flush, try drinking warm water with the

juice of 1/2 of a lemon eavery morning a 1/2 hour before you eat.

There are also commercial preps on the market in the supplement

section that help with liver function. I can't vouch for them, but

many have ingredients that are benificial for keeping your liver

healthy (ex. milk thistle, dandylion, curcuma........)

Best of luck!
