Guest guest Posted January 15, 2001 Report Share Posted January 15, 2001 Terry; To add just a bit more to 's suggestion here; I used fruit almost exclusively for about a month after reading Cabot's book to help with my gallbladder situation, although that wasn't suggested in her book. Along with that diet I was also taking EFAs such as Flaxseed Oil and Hemp Oil, or multiblend type of oil to get my Omega 3 and 6. Hemp Oil may be more simulative and cause more feeling of the liver area than Flaxseed Oil. The thing about fruit is that you don't fill up on it in one sitting like you would a regular meal, it's done throughout the day because of the lower amount of protein and fats that are being received, because the sugars get burned more quickly, and especially if your daily work uses higher energy amounts. This gets the liver more to a purring relaxed kitten state, rather than like an excited actively playing kitten. It works to sooth it with tender strokes, than making demands upon its capacities. You're the one doing the controlling of its feel, and you may notice a gurgling or popping like feeling from the liver doing this, but there tends to be no pain with eating fruits because there isn't the demand for the larger amounts of bile needed to emulsify the fats. This was the conclusion I'd made after reading about the liver and what it does and needs. It's because of the lower demand for fats that I was taking EFAs while eating a fruit diet, and I don't mean the dead type of fruit that you get with canned fruit, so as to cause the gallbladder to exercise, in a way, where it was under my control. I'd get discomfort but I knew the level I could bear and dealt with it. It never caused me the need to take a pain medication. The only thing causing me to take a pain medication, like Ibuprofen or aspirin, now days is when I do a job that requires me using muscles that haven't been worked for some time. I also believe my work has been somewhat of a benefit to in that I tend to get more exercise than many others who's jobs leave them without any exercise, at all.

Have you tried feeding your liver sugars in place of the fats, in other words, with the only lipids (relatively low amounts) being those that occur naturally in the fruits--for any extended period of time? Have you tried days and days in a row, or even weeks upon weeks of unlimited quantities of freshly-squeezed, home-made lemon-ade? This isn't some "quack" approach--the liver likes fluid, it likes reduction of bulk, and it loves sugar--all provided by this diet. Any allopathic doctor knows this is what the liver likes, because that's how hospital recovery diets, which are soft, fluid and sugary, came into being. (Duh?!)
