Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 IT is called an ERCP I think, Susie had one. --- >> Is this a risky procedure? My Doc told me not many in the area know how to do this.I wonder if they can look into the entire liver like this and get all the stones out?

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Vince, Sorry about the earlier quick response and send.... So what you are saying is that these stones that I have in my liver CAN be flushed out SAFELY? And I wouldn't need to keep getting them taken out by ERCP? No more painful PAINFUL attacks? No more winding up in the hospital, really sick and jaundiced? I am 31 years old, had my gallbladder out 3 years ago, and feel as though I've been sentenced to a life of pain and uncertainty. I am very thin, watch what I eat, and exercise.....still I get these stones! The specialist that I had was just resolving to give me a prescription of demerol--that there was nothing more he could do for me. My liver feels big all the time, and I actually feel it hitting and rubbing up on my ribcage. It's hard to sit for a long time, it's hard to get comfortable for sleeping. After this last bout in the hospital (3 days), the specialist now admits there's a problem! Amen--I'm not going crazy! But between today and March 24 (scheduled ercp appt), he says I could have another painful attack and wind up in the hospital again. So I am totally scared. I feel like a prisoner to this health problem! Is this book you speak of online? (Dr. Hulda ) Maybe I should check for it at the library or the store? Does this dr. mention any risk to someone who is already sick from liver stones (abnormal enzyme readings found in blood tests)? I am trying to explore all my options. The doctor doesn't offer any advice or any tips for prevention (except 'stay away from fatty foods'--but I tell you it doesn't matter WHAT I eat!) Thanks for responding to me, Leah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for responding to me, Leah >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Leah I would suggest you consider all the right types of fats to take in. What you will want to seek is food having essential fatty acids. This will help in producing the type of bile which is much more capable of maintaining the emulsification of the cholesterol and other bile substances too. If you're not already taking it, lecithin and taurine would be good for you to take as a daily routine. 4800 mg of the lecithin and 500 of the taurine will certainly make a difference in about two weeks. Expect discomfort but not pain, just the noticeable feeling of where the liver is located on the right side under the ribs. I have dealt with my liver and gallbladder since February of 1999 when I had the attacks that sent me to the hospital two times in three days. The doctor wanted to have my gallbladder removed within the next two weeks. I had, according to him, a stone. I never could get just how large it was but there is a picture of a gallstone I passed in the photos online that is 17 mm or 3/4 of an inch. I did actually pass an even larger one but it got destroyed by accident. I did a number of flushes the traditional way but do mine now by my own method of using the oil and colonics. Colonics will cause the liver to dump the stuff in it once you get to a certain fill level and can get the flushes or dumpings to start to happening. Its basic feeling is like having diarrhea and if you are connected to a colonics machine you can take note of the bile and other stuff of which is coming out as it passes in the view tube. There may be many different colors of dumps too which would be indicative of other issues with the liver. There is more; I also use ozone of which is insufflated at the same time as the water after about 45 minutes of being connected and having pretty well cleared the large intestines of any matter. Sometimes at around 45 minutes or more it my be that oil is deposited on the glass too which means it sure hasn't had time to make anything solid itself. Then often too while connected stones may start to be noticed towards the end of the session. Most of them are cholesterol and so they float really well compared to the other matter that will roll along on the bottom of the viewing tube. I have not been, of late, as good a practicer of what I teach here but then too I'm back to enjoying an awful lot of the food that I had given up. Shoot, I had a blue cheese and bacon hamburger with frys last night and just get the notice of my liver saying I'm playing it tight. Yes I am, but it took me years to be able to get to this point and I have a better understanding of how to identify a greasy done fry and the type of which has been deep fried properly (it was brought to my attention around a year ago that proper flying leaves very little of the frying oils on the food because the internal moisture of the food has been preserved instead of completely cooked out to cause oil to take its place. crispy frys are a no no). However, I am generally very careful about what I do eat and have not had another attack since November of " 99 " . Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
