Guest guest Posted September 16, 2001 Report Share Posted September 16, 2001 Hello. When I was first diagnosed, I spoke to a lot of doctors, including a few M.D.s who work with natural methods. One doctor I spoke to used to be a surgeon. His explanation when I asked if my stones could be removed is that is what surgeons used to do. However, the stones just came back, so because of this recurrence of stones, the medical profession opted for removing the gallbladder once and for all instead of subjecting people to multiple, recurring surgeries. This may be why they say it has not been " proven effective. " The doctor explained to me that no one will remove just the stones because of this. They consider it irresponsible. I know there's been lots said about m.d.s and their greed. That may be the case in some cases. However, I feel many are just ignorant of other ways, natural ways, dietary therapies, hydrotherapies, etc. I don't like passing judgment on someone like that. I will pass judgement on their methods and choose better for myself, but to decide their motives is another matter. Now, you wouldn't want just your stones removed because I think it would be major surgery, not the little incisions that they do. Also, it is the dietary and lifestyle changes that will cure you eventually. Having the fear of pain hanging over your head is an incredible motivator for change! I think that just having the stones removed is like giving a gambler a ton of money. It won't do him any good as he'll just gamble it away! Hey, has anyone tried the Hallelujia Diet? Someone just gave me a book with lots of interesting raw food recipes. I am fascinated with what can be done with raw food. One doctor had recommended I eat 75% raw food, and this book is a godsend!
