Guest guest Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 I have a couple questions to ask. The first is, What medications are prescribed when you have gallstones and what are their associated cost? The second question is, What other treatments such as surgery are given for gallstones and what are their associated cost? And the final thing im curious about is are their any special diets that you should go on when you acquire gallstones? Thanks for the help Trey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help Trey >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Trey; There are drugs that can be taken but I wouldn't hold my breath expecting a doctor to give it to you. This website will tell you part of the overall story but doesn't really explain some of the more annoying consequences of having a gallbladder removed nor what diet would help to keep from or even reduce the size of gallstones caused by precipitated cholesterol from bile. http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/digest/pubs/gallstns/gallstns.htm Pricing really isn't all that important when considering that getting rid of gallstones really means living life more fully, and especially if you're living with a combination of liver disease and gallbladder disease. But for your information, Actigall is around $140.00 per 100. I couldn't find a price for chenodiol, but then too, it isn't available in the US or Canada. Gallbladder sugery is around $10,000.00 but like anything else you can shop for the best price there too. http://www.a2zmedline.com/409.htm The most important thing a person can do is to start working on maintaining better liver health when they find they have gallstones or a liver problem. This is because the liver produces the bile of which is a more likely cause of the formation of bile stones when it is of poor quality. It needs to be looked at as being able to produce a higher quality dish detergent for the emulsification of fat. There is a lot of similarity between dish soap and bile in this respect. A quality soap will emulsify and hold in suspension a much greater amount of fat in water over poor quality brands. That's why we want to start eating for the production a quality type of bile.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Hope this helps Chris Calculating Mold Capacity The basic number is 0.38 oz's of oils in a soap recipe for each cubic inch of mold to be filled. Example, to fill a 3 inches X 7 inch mold 2 inches deep 3 x 7 x 2 = 42 cubic inches Then take 42 x 0.38 = 16 oz's of oils So it would take a recipe with 16 ounces of oils to fill this mold Help Question > Good morning everyone, > I have a rather silly question,if I was to use a box for my mold and I > want my finished soap to be one inch thick,how much should I pour in the > box to allow for shrinkage and trimming.The box I have is wide so I > guess it would be like a slab mold.?? > Told you it was a silly guestion LOL > Have a good day > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
