Guest guest Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Hi, I'm a newbie to this group. I would like to try the liver flush, but wonder if anyone has done it without first doing a parasite cleansing first? I have slight pain right side and about a year ago, had a gall bladder attack. Now have a frozen shoulder to work out with excruciating pain....have seen an Ortho and doing stretching exercises. Any help and suggestions would greatly be appreciated!

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Hello all, I was told I had gallstones and pancreatitis after an emergency admittance to hospital last Christmas. The docs insist that I should have surgery for gb removal. I don't want this as I had problems with the drugs in an earlier op, which was very scary. However, the consultant told me the other week during a appointment prompted by my GP, that when you have pancreatitis you have a one in ten chance of dying, so the best thing to do is to have the gb taken out. My stones, he said,are small but this is worse than having larger ones, as they can travel all over the place and cause problems, as in my pancreatitis. From info on this site, I always thought that small stones were better than large for flushing purposes, as they are easier to get out. He is another who says that flushing, etc is ineffective and awaits the first case to be presented whereby flushing, etc cures one of gallstones completely. When I became ill I did my own research, found this site and sorted out myself with diet, supplements and Chinese herbs, which stopped the pain and helped me get on with things. I used my common sense and use appropriate supplements, herbs and info from this site which help enormously. Now, as long as I watch my lifestyle, although I am no angel, I rarely get problems. However, I haven't tried a flush yet as I didn't until recently know the size of the stones. I did plan to do one, though, if possible. Has anyone been in a similar situation with having had pancreatitis and who has managed to hang on to their gb? I get the feeling that I will be medically " blacklisted " as I have backed out of two ops now. My own GP is pushing for the op. I don't want the op as I have children who need me and if anything went wrong...there would be no-one else for them. The consultant says I should have it for this reason, to safeguard against the pancreatitis reappearing. I won't be pushed into or scare-mongered into the op; I want to make an informed decision so I'd just like to know if anyone out there has managed to keep pancreatitis at bay, got rid of their gallstones, kept their gb and felt healthy and normal.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 , before I moved to this area no one ever told me that they had had their gall-bladder removed. But when we moved here (Idaho) suddenly I met several young people who had already had their gall- bladder removed! I was rather shocked and figured it must be the favorite surgery of the doctors in town. Then when I was told that I had gall-stones I started doing research on it and I still kind of think it's some doctors' favorite way of bringing in a little extra cash. You absolutely HAVE TO do your own research. Ask your doctor where he got his statistics for his 1 in 10 dying from pancreatitis -- get the name of the book or magazine, the article, the chapter, the page numbers, get him to give you as much information as you can. Find out how often pancreatitis reoccurs in patience with a history of at least one episode of pancreatitis. Check out herbs that are natural anti-inflamatories and anti-bacterial remedies that might be able to help you avoid this problem. ASK around! Find out the real statistics on your risk of death from gall-bladder surgery. Talk to people who have had their gall-bladders removed and see how it has changed their lives. Find support people -- natural health practitioners who can lead you to information about alternative remedies. I may have gall-stones, but I'm keeping my gall-bladder as long as I can. I don't believe in having anything removed that works at all! The cleanses aren't bad, except for the taste, and they give me a feeling of power over my own health. That's a good thing, especially when we have families to take care of. Luci > Hello all, > > I was told I had gallstones and pancreatitis after an emergency admittance to > hospital last Christmas.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Hi Alisa, Welcome to the list. I don't think Hulda is nuts I can see why you may... She is on the cutting edge of research and the doctors don't know anything that is not a minimum of 10-15 years later than the initial research (some of what they could know is at least 100 years after the initial promising research and still is not " mainstream " ). Hulda has found that sick people are showing up with an inordinate amount of chemical pollutants in them. Mainstream medicine does not have an " approved " non-invasive way of testing organs and other tissue for chemical pollution, Hulda has a way. This epidimic of internal stored chemical pollution is a new thing in the human race because modern technology has created an environment in which we breath, drink, eat, and absorb through our skin chemicals every day all day... she finds that where ever there is a concentration of stored chemicals in our bodies, the cells don't work right to stay strong and healthy. This overtaxes our immune system. This allows parasites to thrive in numbers and locations that they couldn't in a healthy body. She finds that all cancer patients are full of parasites. The " relative " success of chemo (when it doesn't outright kill the patient) may have more to do with killing the parasites than with killing the cancer. Parasites create a toxic environment to further overtax the immune system and destroy the cell health. This is a sickness causing downward cycle. Hulda can test for all types of parasites and chemicals in all locations of the body. Modern medicine cannot. Hulda can detox the body in safe health restoring ways. Modern medicine cannot. Hulda can safely kill parasites in the entire body without chemicals. Modern medicine cannot. Maybe in 20-100 years they'll catch up? Who knows... I don't plan on moving into a bubble, but I am trying to find ways of cleaning up my environment and body as I live from day to day. I've got Hulda to thank for braving the wrath of the establishment to allow me to make more informed decisions about my health. What she has to say makes sense to me, and my experience has born out her conclusions. Vince > first one is for tony - why coffee?

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 > first one is for tony - why coffee? I stopped putting it in my mouth > so why should i put it in my colon? I assume there is some benefit > over using warm water, please share. > Hi , I'm not Tony, but here's a link for more info on coffee enemas. This has been discussed on this and other alt-health lists extensively and the effect of coffee is totally different from an enema than from drinking it. The coffee in an enema recirculates from the colon to the blood and to the liver without going all through the rest of your body... http://www.ralphmoss.com/coff.html Here's an excerpt: " It is the liver and small bowel which neutralize the most common tissue toxins: polyamines, ammonia, toxic-bound nitrogen, and electrophiles. These detoxification systems are probably enhanced by the coffee enema. Physiological Chemistry and Physics has stated that " caffeine enemas cause dilation of bile ducts, which facilitates excretion of toxic cancer breakdown products by the liver and dialysis of toxic products across the colonic wall. " In addition, theophylline and theobromine (two other chemicals in coffee) dilate blood vessels and counter inflammation of the gut; the palmitates enhance the enzyme system responsible for the removal of toxic free radicals from the serum; and the fluid of the enema then stimulates the visceral nervous system to promote peristalsis and the transit of diluted toxic bile from the duodenum and out the rectum. Since the enema is generally held for 15 minutes, and all the blood in the body passes through the liver every three minutes, " these enemas represent a form of dialysis of blood across the gut wall " (Healing Newsletter, #13, May-June, 1986) " .

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 , That's great that your GP is open to herbs! What did he/she recommend? Thanks, Vince > You apparently did not read my message very well. *I* told my doctor > (actually 2 of them, my regular one and my gastroenterologist) that I > absolutely did not want surgery and wanted to try a cleanse. They > were both supportive and the GP recommended some herbal supplements. > I got no prescriptions at that visit (my first with this new doctor) > because they want to see how the cleanse goes first.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 lessee, one is called " Liver support Factors " and is made by a company called BioChem. it contains B6 calcium, zinc, L-methionine, milk thistle, barberry, buplerum, taurine, inositol, atrichoke, etc. many other things The other is called Liv. 52 and is made by Himalaya ProSelect. I can give you a full list of the contents if you like. They don't contain any of the herbs Dr. suggested so i may try to find some of those when i get another paycheck. Oddly enough (to me at least) some of her recommended liver herbs are in the parasite formula that i found and have been taking for a little over a week. So for the past few days i've been chugging apple juice, but had to stop early because all the acid was creating sores in my mouth. Today I ate only breakfast, I've recently taken my first dose of epsom salts, and I drink the oil w/ lemon tonight. I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing what happens tomorrow. I also know that that comment would sound weird to most people that are not on this list. Wish me luck with my first cleanse! -elisa " Vince Richter " <new_man85@h...> > That's great that your GP is open to herbs! What did he/she > recommend?

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 You have a good doctor I've found overlap in the groups of herbs for liver and parasites too. A lot of bowel cleanse herb preparations have parasite herbs included also. Let us know how your flush goes. With all your preparation, it should get great results...
