Re: gallbladder pancreatitis- treatments and alternatives

[Guest guest]

I have pancreatitis/gall stones due to, amongst other things, stones caught

in my bile duct. Ended up in emergency twice due to terrible pain. Whilst

in hospital threw up lots of green stuff, etc. The hospital docs reckon

that removal of the gall bladder is the only option to stop all this pain,

that pancreatitis is life-threatening and, so, I'm due for an op in two

weeks - which I don't really want due to problems with some of the

anaesthetic drugs. A lady in my ward had had the op, but they caught her

pancreas and now she is quite ill - another reason why I am not sure about

the op as it isn't without it's risks. For food, I understand that I have

to avoid fats and alcohol, but the docs never told me to avoid dairy

products, i.e. skimmed milk/low fat yoghurts! No wonder I wasn't feeling

well. Since avoiding dairy produce, along with the other stuff, I have felt

much better and am considering doing one of these flushes. Do you have to

keep to this strict diet for life if you don't have surgery, or is there

light at the end of the tunnel?

Dear Marie,

Pancreatitis may very well be life threatening.

My questions to the docs would be:

1. What proof do you have that I have Pancreatitis? and

2. Why wait for the surgery?

Hi Marie, I don't have all the answers myself because I'm new to this

too. But I can tell you this flush works and I haven't had any problems

because of it. I did my first serious flush this past Sat, and Sunday

started passing stones and kept passing smaller amounts until 8PM that

night. Since then I've been eating vegetables, fruit, apple juice,

salads with olive oil and vinegar,broiled chicken breast, flax oil and

taking magnesium supplement. Much to my surprise I passed a pretty big

one and several smaller ones today! I think these are some of the older

ones because they are so dark; brown,black,green. These came out in a

bm, when I looked into the water, I could see them sticking out of it.

So I went excavating and separated them from the other waste and

measured; one is 1 1/2 " by 1 1/8 " and a few smaller ones. I'm very

pleased, and I think there are still more. My tiggers seem to be cheese,

milk, chocolate. ice cream and probably nuts in a can too. I haven't

eaten very much red meat in several years. I stick to chicken, turkey

and some tuna, I will eat some beef when I'm a guest and I do like it,

but I had read so much about how bad it is for you and then along came

mad cow....

I prepared for the flush by eating lightly the day before, I didn't

bother eating any chicken or meat because it seems like it would just

make it harder to clean me out before drinking the olive oil and lemon

or grapefruit juice. Click on the link below that says gallbladder and

liver flush recipe. I used the Dr one, but didn't do any parasite

cleans first and I still had a successful flush. Good Luck, Kathy

--Hello,

I just joined this group, and I would encourage you to postpone

gallbladder surgery. There are many alternatives, and many ways to

treat pancreatitis without surgery. Remember---once you remove an

organ, you can't grow it back! I would suggest that surgery be your

last resort! Please try the cleanse and find a good Naturopathic

physician to work with. More than 20 states currently liscense

naturopathic physicians, so they're not the " fringe group " that they

used to be.

Most MD's won't tell you that removal of the gallbladder is no

guarantee that you won't develop gallstones again---as long as there

is a gall bladder bile duct, there is a chance that you could

redevelop gall stones.

Two years ago, my husband was injured in a freak accident that

resulted in a traumatic injury to the pancreas; a pancreatic ductal

stricture, acute, unresolved pancreatitis, and recurrent pancreatic

pseudocysts greater than 10 cm in diameter. We were told that the

ONLY solution was removal not only of his gallbladder, but also

removal of most of his pancreas and part of his small intestine, as

well. We refused.

Instead we found help using a combination of traditional western and

alternative medicines. Manipulative Osteopathy has helped greatly

improve the function of his pancreas and gallbladder, accupuncture

has helped balance his body and decrease his pain, as has

chiropractic; naturopathic supplements and chelation therapy is

helping his body to heal itself.

I am so convinced that there ARE surgical and pharmaceutical

alternatives, that I will be attending medical school next year to

become a naturopath.

There IS light at the end of the tunnel! (I promise!)
