OTHERS ON THIS SUBJECT

Dale wrote that he had an MRI. Dale, it was not

proved by ultrasound that you have stones, as you have

stated that the gb wall was thickened and you stated

some other problem and NOT STONES. So, in your case

it does not prove before & after ultrasound or even

MRI that there were stones in your gall bladder.

From your writing it would appear that you believe the ultrasound to be the more

definitive of the diagnostic tools for this purpose. I would suggest checking

this site once again for just a basic understanding between the two methods.

Now too, it has become obvious to us that you really aren't listening too well.

First off, I had an MRI that proved definitively that I had stones and a

thickened gallbladder in February of 1999, which was the second attack that sent

me to the hospital just three days after the first one at which they had only

taken an X-ray. Then in October of 1999 I had another, the fourth, attack that

sent me to the hospital. At that examination they used ultrasound and were

hunting desperately to find stones in the gallbladder. In fact, they had two

technicians attempting to find them because my previous charts noted that I had

gallstones and the first tech thought she was doing something wrong. So, they

were using different power levels and really working over that area over despite

my extreme discomfort with the procedure just to try to prove I still had

gallstones and needed my gallbladder removed. I would say from that process it

was quite definitive that I didn't have any gallstones. Plus! according to that

ultrasound my gallbladder looked healthy, as did my liver! So, what say you to

that? Can I make it any clearer? Or, is it that you never bothered to go to the

website I noted so that you would realize that an MRI is the definitive tool

used to prove someone has gallstones since ultrasound doesn't often get to see

certain types of gallstones.

It wasn't until the follow-up with my doctor the next day that I came to find

out about the condition of my gallbladder and liver. The blood test showed

elevated enzyme levels of which meant my liver was having trouble. But, my

gallbladder was clear of stones and it was no longer thickened and diseased. The

liver situation concerned me because of the show of damage taking place. That's

when I found information regarding the liver from Dr. Cabot and others on the

internet. I opted to go for Dr. Cabot's book " The Liver Cleansing Diet " . I read

it and then made the changes I needed from the information and understanding I

obtained and have not had another gallbladder attack or liver attack since the

October '99' attack of which was really a liver attack and not the gallbladder.

But I can assure you that it is every bit as painful and happens during the day

and just after meals unlike the gallbladder attacks that occurred in the morning

hours around two or three o'clock and awaken you from sleep.

Thank you for clarifying the point. I just want to

know what caused damage to your lever. Was it due to

flushing of gb or some other reason.

Secondly, what my interest in pointing out to you

people was to ensure by ultrasound or MRI for that

matter that they are clear of stones. Nobody loses

anything after going through these tests. This is the

proof that when your gb was empty, they could not find

any stones through ultrasound. This will at least

satisfy you that flush worked.

The cause's of my liver damage is because of doing a strict diet free of all

fats, including the ones the liver needs to function properly. These are known

as essential fatty acids and I had avoided fats to the dismay of my liver's

proper function. That is why my last gallbladder like attack was a liver attack

and it occurred just after eating a fat free meal.

I also had Hep C which didn't help matter much either. The Hep C wasn't active

but showed in the blood test from antibodies.
