Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 Thank you Dax, Is this to help break down hard stones or just to prevent future stones from forming?

I have heard that it is a supplement that breaks down fat intake and can prevent cholesterol build-up in your body. This would slow down or eliminate the production of stones from what I can gather. Does anyone take Lecithin regularly? Thanks, Barry.> Barry; Lecithin, approximately 2400 to 4800 mg a day, is something I've been taking since November of 99, as a near daily routine. Despite my best intentions to take it daily I do tend to get out of the house with too much on my mind and therefore tend to forget to take my supplements. The thing that lecithin does is something like the way dish detergent does with fats, it keeps it emulsified. This helps in the prevention of its precipitating from the bile salt that the liver produces. But just like the ratio of water to detergent and the fats being cleaned off or out can result in there being a precipitation of the fat on the side of a sink, or in the case of a liver or a gallbladder there too. However, it isn't a cure-all for the liver health enthusiast because there is a lot more to the liver than just taking in this one essential fatty acid. Lecithin is certainly worth taking on a daily basis to help the liver's bile to be able to hold the fats that are being taken out of the body, much the same as the dish detergent is holding the fats in it, but it is also necessary to get more essential fatty acids from other sources too. It certainly can be noted that a lot of foods today are from genetically engineered products with soy being just one of many. http://www.safe-food.org/-consumer/shop.html However, prudent consideration of the purchase should merit the quality most of us are looking to find. http://www.safe-food.org/-consumer/brands.html http://www.21stcenturyradio.com/NP6-8-99-2.html http://www.truefoodnow.com/ http://dem0nmac.mgh.harvard.edu/forum/MultipleSclerosisF/10.20.989.08PMWhyDr ..Weilrecomm (This will have to be copied and pasted in two parts to get to the website correctly. Just copy the first part and then add the ..Weilrecomm) Use of other things along with the essential fatty acids, and a diet without the hydrogenated and saturated fats, can work over time to get rid of some types of stones. But it does take a lot of time for those that are calcified. That is, those that are made from calcium deposits. They just don't break down that easily nor do they flush out as easily as the cholesterol type of stones. If someone is trying to get out the calcified type of stone it will mean laying on the left side rather than the right to hopefully get the stone placed at the neck of the gallbladder to get it into the common bile duct and out of the body. Some things that can be used are Gold Coin Grass - which can be obtained from Chang, hydrangea root - which can be found at some health food stores, and chanca piedra - which can be ordered from Rain-Tree or some others http://rain-tree.com/chancaprod.htm The maltic acid is of apples is suspected of helping to soften stones too. Some extra information to check out. http://www.angelwater.net/y2k/liver_gall-bladder.html Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2001 Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 Hi, is soy the only source of lecithin? I can eat a little soy here and there, but, start getting food allergy symptoms if I do it regularly. Thanks Kathy B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
