Hello, all. Thank you for sharing your information and ideas.

As the result previous CT I'd had done to rule out breast cancer

metastasis, I was aware that I had gallstone(s). I had my first

attack this past Saturday night & visited my MD on Monday for an exam

& reassurance that I wasn't dealing with pancreatitis or anything of

that sort. My ultrasound this morning revealed multiple 1cm or so

stones. Based on our discussion Monday, I know that my MD's advice

will be to pursue surgery--something I'd like to avoid. There is a

wealth of information on this list & other sites, but I still feel

like I'd like a little personal guidance. Is there a particular field

of health practitioners who might be well versed enough on

flushing/stone dissolution & liver health to be such a resource?

I wouldn't turn to herbal remedies if I didn't think they were

powerful & because of my history of cancer, I'd like to have a little

more guidance in their use.

Thanks, Nora

Hi Nora,

While there are plenty of natural health practitioners that are versed in

the flushing or dissolution of stones, the level of knowledge and awareness of

the people on this group who have been involuntarily in the trenches is higher

than the vast majority of professionals. The archives are full of great

information and resources. This is something that you can do yourself very

easily and safely. It sounds as if you have dealt with breast cancer. In all

cancers of any kind, liver and gallbladder play a major role. Malignant cell

production is an everyday occurrence for absolutely everyone. Everyone reading

this post " has " cancer in this respect. The only time that someone is diagnosed

with it is when the " immune system " is not handling it as fast as the cells are

growing. The " immune system " ( which is made up; it would be better termed the

immune response. The body is not divided up into individual systems it works as

a congruous whole. So while we think of the immune system consisting of things

like the thymus, spleen, white blood cells, etc, how could you leave out the

heart let's say? It is the muscle that is responsible for moving the blood and

much of that immune response around.) is quite dependent on the liver to filter

out the dead cancer cells as they are being destroyed whether it be by chemo,

radiation, or the white blood cells. This filtration is carried out of the body

through the bile which is stored in the gallbladder and then released into the

small intestine to be hopefully carried out in a bowel movement. Keeping the

sewer clear is critical. This does not even begin to describe the immune

response hormones produced by the liver (interferon, interleukin, etc.). I

agree with Dr. Culbert (bless his soul) who said that there is no such

thing as a " cure " for cancer there is only managing it at a microscopic level

for the rest of your life. Your liver and gallbladder are critical organs in

performing this function. Do not fear your ability to make the right decisions,

you are the most qualified individual in the world.

Always, in all ways,

-Dave
