Re: Statistics-question for Agnes

Agnes, or anyone else who can answer this question,

My question concerns the claims by the curezone website, Dr. , and others,

that 80 to 90% of Americans have gallstones, and most are asymptomatic. I'm not

questioning its accuracy....but, do you know the source of this statistic? My

sister took my mom to a doctor this week who claimed that maybe only 10% of the

population has gallstones.

From what I've gathered from my mom, she is suffering no painful symptoms

usually associated with gallstones. Yes, she has gallstones, but they are not

causing her any pain; she's asymptomatic. The only symptom she has which is

remotely associated with gallstones is back pain on the right side...which could

easily be associated with her arthritic condition. She has no soreness in the

abdomen, no burping/indigestion, etc. My sister is pushing for surgery, and I'm

trying to slow things down. Her heart condition makes her a poor candidate for

surgery. IMO, she is more at risk of dying from surgery, than gallstones.

It sure is tough trying to educate people to see things in a different way.

Thanks in advance,

Adrienne

I believe the actual statement has to do with cancer patients having that

percentage not the general public. This would make more sense considering that

when the body's primary means of cleansing is clogged cancer and an acidic

environment can take over.
