Amy,

Don't be too discouraged that you can't get on Lyme-L. There is very little

scientific decussion that goes on there and everything of significance seems

to find it's way to the sci.med.diseases.lyme newsgroup. So don't feel

deprived. You're not missing some great enlightening experience,

unfortunately.

Hi All,

I have done 2 flushes and now 2 ultrasounds. I am very upset and confused.

The first ultrasound read as, 4-9 stones with at least one measuring at 1

1/2 cm. Then I did the flush and still had pain, so went in to the doc. and

he said that what I got out was probably sludge or something. I told him I

was not going to get my gallbladder removed until I new for sure it was

still full of stones. So I did another flush, which went fine, and then went

for another ultrasound. I got the results today, he said that the

gallbladder is so full of stones that they are too numerous to count. I was

very surprised, the tech doing the ultrasound wasn't measuring anything like

she was last time, so I thought she hadn't found anything. The doc. wants to

know what I'm going to do now. I have no idea, I feel better, but I still am

tender in that area. I haven't had any really bad attacks though.

Any advice?

Hey Jeanne, I am new to this, too. But from what I have learned, it will

take several flushes to get the stones all out. I think said

between 5 and 25. I am taking some chinese herbs to help dissolve the

stones in there. It is scary and unnerving to me to think of stones being

in my gallbladder, but then it helps to know of ppl in the same boat. I

will do another flush next week using epsom salts for the first time. At

some point I want to have another ultrasound. Anyway, I hope you don't get

too discouraged.

I would seek the opinion of another doctor if you can. Or ask to see the

results of the ultrasound. I would ask why the tech did not make any

notations at all this time, if your gallbladder was so full. Also, ask to

speak to the tech. He may be telling you the truth, but I have found that

many doctors HATE for you to try and take your own health in your hands.

They have laughed me out of offices and guess what, down the road, I found

out I was right.

However, having said that, you could very well need surgery. I would get a

second opinion though if I were you.

I guess the stones can move from your liver into your gallbladder, I am not

sure.

Best of luck to you.....I will keep you in my prayers. I can only imagine how

frustrated you must be.

> Hi ,

according to your email address you are living in Australia. Where? You

are the first soul I found doing this O diet from this side of the

world. Hi. I am living in near Geelong.

Well, what I did when I had this gravings was, I ate dried figs and

Walnuts that helped a lot. I also eat, as a special treat, once a week,

the Vitaro Ice cream (no milk, although it has a bit Gum in it, I eat it

as a special treat). I stopped drink coffe all together and have herbal

teas or just hot water. It is astonishing, how I can enjoy hot water

(most of the time). I had terrible headaches for about a week, but now I

am fine. I have only started 4 weeks ago, and I still try to find my

ways. Every now and than, more often then not, I am caught with food,

which contains something " avoid " . I did not realise before how much

wheat, maize, milk powder ...is in food.

cheers, Klara

Hi Aikya, I never thought about a hypothyroid. I am always cold and I

have a low metabolism. I get chill blains very easy. I have seen a

doctor but he only said that I have to put more cloth on and take some

medicine. I went to a chines doctor, and he suggested that I have " a

chill " . Coming from a cold country, like Switzerland, I thought thats a

bit strange. However, I thought the problems lies in the Australian

houses without a good heating system. I will look into the Hypothuroid

" business " .

thanks

Are you ready for this, I'm a quilter and we are strange folk. The first

name is a fairy name and the second name is a hobbit name. You can get your

name on the web. You put in your full name and then you will get a name. We

all have them. LOL We are strange, but nice. LOL Hope this answers your

question. I get this all the time. The only name that I didn't get was a

YaYa Sisterhood name. I missed that one.

God grant me the Senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the

good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the

difference.

If I may interject here. I thought those names were because you had some

American Indian ancestry of some kind!!! I was hoping for American Indian

(since I am just a tiny little bit and have a huge affinity for Pine Ridge

Indian Reservation) but that is kool what you do. Happy future to you.

I just made a decision for THR. I see my OS for a 2nd consult on June 10.

Mine will be not until end of summer as I have to have oral surgery (1-3

wisdom teeth removed) on July 3 and my OS wants to wait 6 weeks before doing

the THR.
