Guest guest Posted February 6, 2001 Report Share Posted February 6, 2001 na; I would suggest you stop eating all saturated fats and hydrogenated fats. Saturated fats are those you get from many sources but mostly it's like the fat that coagulates with the pour-off of bacon. Hydrogenated fats are Essential Fatty Acids that have been damaged by a heat source. It's greatest abuse is found in deep frying foods. I too was told to schedule a removal of my gallbladder after having had two attacks within three days, both of which sent me to the emergency room. I was told that I had "A" gallstone, which to me meant I had one large stone, but I could never get my doctor or the hospital to let me know definitively whether it was a congestion of stones or just one. After my doctor told me to schedule an appointment to have my gallbladder removed I, like you, started a very intensive search for information. I did find the information , good and bad, regarding the doing of a flush. My greatest concern was my not having been able to ascertain the suspected size of the stone(s). So, I first avoided all fats, including EFAs before I knew better, and ate only vegetables and fruits for about a month while also taking Gold Coin Grass that I got from Chang. When I did my first flush I hadn't known of anyone with whom to talk about the process other than . There was no support groups that I could find at that time. My apprehension was nulled the day after the flush when the results showed. It was amazing to say the least. I collected some of the stones but couldn't get my doctor or the hospital to do an analysis of them so they just melted to green glob while exposed to air. Read some of the archives and I'm sure you'll learn much about the processes. You will find using specific search words will help to narrow the search's results. I've not had an attack now for over a year. October 23, 1999 was my last sever attack and I happened to be stone free at that time. So, my last attack wasn't my gallbladder, it was my liver because I'd avoided feeding it what it needs to do its work and for it to be healthy. So be sure to get EFAs in the form of Lecithin and Taurine for sure, and in Flax Seed oil and other oils too. You may very well be able to avoid having to do surgery as there are many good reasons to avoid it and especially at your age. I wouldn't trust an ultrasound for definitive determination of stones. When it comes to surgery, I'd feel much better with the results of an MRI. My MRI did note that not only did I have A stone but I also had a thickened gallbladder too.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2001 Report Share Posted February 6, 2001 Hi na! Welcome to the group. Our nanny had gallstone problems since she was 13 years old. She was in the hospital emergency room for the pain many times. One day... 2 1/2 years ago she came to me and told me she had to have a $6000 operation to remove her gallbladder. I gave her the FLUSH information and she did a flush immediately. Yes, this is only ancedotal... She has not had a twinge of pain or discomfort from her gallbladder since that time. She repeated the flush 4 weeks later. I kept asking her how she was doing... her response was that she was getting fat because she coukld eat whatever she wanted without ANY problems.... Milk gave her a little diahrea... but lactose seemed to cure the problem. She flushed again six months ago just to keep the gallbladder clear. I believe that a young person has a much greater chance of completely healing their gb... IF they make the right changes to their diet and flush once a year. Heed Dale's words of wisdom... read as much as you can from this site... Healing the gb will not happen for everyone. Calcified stones will break down and pass in a flush, BUT they are much more difficult to deal with than sludge! Hopefully you are just full of sludge and it can easily be removed with a flush ken aka kalexan328 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2001 Report Share Posted February 6, 2001 Hi Nan! The reason I have not had my gb out has much to do about health and little to do with the pain of surgery. I believe that God gave me a gb for reason and that if by 42 it is not functioning properly I should FIRST try to get it in working order, before I take the road of having it cut out. Millions of Americans suffer some gb problems and a simple flush can cure them. Others, need surgery... and this is certainly not the end of the world! The danger with surgery is that many will go right back to their old diet and health patterns that created the gb problems to begin with. Then they will begin to suffer other ailments... can't cut the liver out of the heart when they get congested! I see my gb symptoms as a small hint from God to get my eating habits back to a healthy pattern. The pain is my friend as it tells me when I am eating something I shouldn't. I still may have my gb out some day... but I will be much healthier for trying to keep it! That's why I haven't taken the knife... even though it is realtively easy. My advice to Johanna is to FIRST try the healthy cure... as she can always go for surgery if it fails to heal her. ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2001 Report Share Posted February 6, 2001 na, I've had my gallbladder out a lttle more than a week now. It was relatively simple surgery, I had a great surgeon, it was out-patient, and many of the problems I had been dealing with have disappeared. I'm wondering why so many people suffer so long, doing flushes and counting stones. I know a lot of people that have that surgery, and do fine. I have a little problem with the quantity of food I can consume right now, but I'm told by other thats normal. My doctor says recovery runs about three weeks. Some people have additional things wrong with them that still exist after the surgery.
