Thanks, le >> ***************************** Hi, le, Go to Dr. Cabot's website, www.liverdoctor.com. She has a pretty good write-up about liver, and I believe she has something about gall bladders problems, too. Her diet actually keeps you from producing gallstones, and helps dissolve the ones that you've got. Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 le; The cause(s) of gallstones is believed to be from an over abundance of cholesterol in the bile salts. Now, that's as regards the cholesterol type of stone, calcified stones are a different story, about which there is no definitive answer. You can best look at this as the bile salts are the emulsifier of the waxy fat of the cholesterol much the same as a dish detergent is an emulsifier of the fats and grease of cooking. You can fill the sink with water and a certain amount of detergent, this will be able to help wash only just so many greasy things until it isn't effective any more. Once it's at an overload there will start to be coagulated grease at the outer edges of the sink. The Omega acids that you need to help in the emulsifying process of the bile salts are found in lecithin and taurine. They act like the dish detergent to keep the waxy cholesterol emulsified, but there is a saturation point and once that is reached a greasy sludge is precipitated from the bile salts when this happens you have then got the start of a means for stones to form as the moisture is removed and the wax is packed tighter. The foods to eat are those that don't add to the formation of excess LDL cholesterol or trigiserides, and are those that help to make the good type of cholesterol. The foods that help to make the good cholesterol, HDL, tend to have such things as omega acids and amino acids. These you get from whole foods, not refined foods, or foods that have been deep fried. Foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and nuts provide these things and also work towards making the body more alkaline, which means it's alive. I have often suggested on this list that any one wanting to know about the liver and foods to eat to encourage it and the gallbladders health to get Dr. Cabot's book "The Liver Cleansing Diet", because it is full of very useful information regarding what foods to eat, and not to eat.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 > I just wanted to know, if anyone out there might know what CAUSES > gallstones in the first place so I can avoid those foods for the rest of my life? Dear le, it would be easy, if gallstones would be cause " only " by diet. Diet is, for many people most important factor, but there are hundreds of other cofactors, take for example toxins: ( Amalgam, Vaccination, Aluminum poisoning, Pesticides, Industrial toxins, Excess of toxic metals in foods and water, ....), stress, unexpressed emotionos (mostly unexpressed anger and madness ) karma, genetic inheritage, blood type, lack of joy and laughter, lack of physicall motion, use of computer... When talking about diet, many dietary factors may contribute to gallstones (and intrahepatic (liver) stones) formation. Most important could be lack of good quality fat in diet, and lack of good quality water. Good quality fat is all natural fat in >>>liquid<<< form. Liquid fats (oils) are: fish fat, milk fat (only from liquid milk products, not from hard cheese), unrefined non-heated freshly expeller-pressed plant oils (olive oil, flax seed oil, sesame oil, thystel(safflower) oil, walnut oil, pumpkin seeds oil...) (Good fresh oil is Udo's Choice, but is expensive). Lack of water: Most people don't drink enough good quality water. Read book: " Your Body's Many Cries for Water " by F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. Lack of most essential nutrients, or imballance of essential nutrients may contribute to gallstones formation: http://home.online.no/~dusan/diet/are_you_deficient.html Other dietary factors statistically often seen are: - modern diet - fried foods, industrial foods - fasting - fasting may promote gallstones formation, if person keeps too long without sufficient amount of fats, and without enough water - lack of minerals, lack of unrefined ocean salt. - vegan diet - proces of shifting from modern to vegan/vegetarian diet " may " promote gallstones formation, especially if person have more then 3 amalgam fyllings, and if person signifficantly lowers his/her fat consumption. ( Though observed in many cases of vegetarian people, this can also mean that person who first develope gallstones, is more likely to naturally, instinctivly shift to vegetarian diet, to avoid symptoms of poor animal fat digestion, and to improve health. I believe that most vegetarian people who shifted diet because of health reasons, have gallstones/liver stones, poor functioning liver, and most of them have symptoms of mercury poisoning, either from amalgam or from vaccination or from water, or both.) There are hundreds of other possible factors, most of them more explained on these web sites: http://home.online.no/~dusan/gallstones/cause.htm http://home.online.no/~dusan/diseases/cause.html http://www.liverdoctor.com/ http://www.sensiblehealth.com/ Hope this answers give more light to this question.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 Probably no one should drink the abomination sold in grocery stores labelled " milk. " Pastueization and homogenization alters the chemisty to a dangerous degree, and kills all beneficial enzymes. It is full of bovine growth hormone, antibiotics,and even pus. It is filthy and detrimental to health to drink " milk. " However, if you are fortunate enough to be able to obtain RAW milk and other RAW dairy products, you are truly blessed. There is absolutely no comparison between the two. RAW milk does not cause the horrible mucus problems that the pasteurized, homogenized stuff does. It actually tastes GOOD (absolutely delicious!), not like that " poison in a carton " stuff that passes for milk. The quality of Vitamin A from raw butter and cream is unsurpassed. Unfortunately, raw dairy is illegal in most states. California is one state that allows it, and I buy it every week (after many, many years of avoiding dairy completely because of the horrible sinus problems and phlegm it casues me). When talking about dairy products, there really needs to be a distinction made between RAW (real) milk and what we see in grocery stores. Now that I know and have experienced the difference, I'll never go back. For more information on tyhe benefits of RAW dairy, check out: http://westonaprice.org/ Jewel > << Is she meaning that we should drink milk?? > > laura >> > *************************** > Well, I don't know, but I can't anyway.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 I know what you mean about mucous. I have always given my younger child soy milk. But my older one preferred cow's milk. It always makes her mucousy. I haven't had it in months and months. And quite frankly after your colorfull description of it I may never let if pass an of our lips!! take care. laura ----- Original Message ----- From: <palgd@...> <gallstones > Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2001 4:11 PM Subject: Re: WHAT CAUSES GALLSTONES IN THE FIRST PLACE? > Probably no one should drink the abomination sold in grocery stores > labelled " milk.

Maybe i should try again if I have pain. And I drink a glass of red wine with my meals. I also read somewhere that a little wine is good for the gall bladder and the stones.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2001 Report Share Posted April 13, 2001 Dear le, there are a couple of websites you might be interested in with regards to food and gallstones. I am not sure that food is the only answer, but it certainly helps to eliminate foods that cause you pain. I have managed to get my pain down to minimal with diet, so it definately has some benefits. TRY- www.thorne.com/altmedrev/fulltext/allergy3-2.html and www.foodcanmakeyouill.co.uk/index.html There are some interesting ideas on these sites If, it's any help to you the foods I avoid are soya,wheat,pork,onions, tomatoes, eggs and I don't use very much dairy, mainly because I don't like it. So, they all seem to fall into animal fat or acidity. I can't explain soya, because everyone thinks it's the wonder food, but it gives me very bad excema and red rashes. I don't seem to be allergic to these things, I just can't tolerate them and my body then produces toxins which present themselves in a variety of ways. One of these seems to be gallstones. I have never eaten a high fat or cholesterol diet, so I was always puzzled as to how I came to have gallstones anyway. So, as I had known I had an intolerance to wheat for some years(that gives me stiff and swollen joints), I wondered if my gb's were linked in some way as well. I have no answers I'm afraid as I'm working through this myself, but so far with mild non-invasive flushes and plenty of apple juice, I'm feeling 95% better. Note for Susie..... Also,a good thing to eat every day if you can is a few grapes(or a glass of red grape juice) as this helps you to process your cholesterol.That was one of the things I used to control my pain, also a few drops of lavender and rosemary oils mixed with a base oil,rub it into the gb area- then make a hot compress with a flannel(keep re-heating the flannel as this helps the pores to open and let in the beneficial qualities of the oils in). They are anti-inflammatory and anti-septic and although pain killing is not mentioned, I always found that it was very soothing. Castor oil hot compress is supposed to be good, but I have never tried that. Anyway, I hope my ramblings are of some interest or help to you. Bye from Jane. -----Original Message----- From: wardox@... [mailto:wardox@...] Sent: 12 April 2001 14:57 gallstones Subject: WHAT CAUSES GALLSTONES IN THE FIRST PLACE? Hi!
