GALLSTONES
AND GALLBLADDER

                                          Gallstones and the Gallbladder

Picture
I  had  a friend  who  put four kids  through  college by doing gallbladder surgeries. Today he does less  than  half a  dozen  a  year,  and  those  are  for severe emergencies-gallbladders that are gangrenous, infected, or spreading problems  to the pancreas.  For all other problems he uses one or two supplements,  diet,  Liver Flushes,  and  sometimes Liver Detoxification.  In  the easiest  cases  it is  simply  a  matter of switching  to  a  Mediterranean  diet.

This  surgeon's  entire life  took a change  when he discovered  how  to clean  up  the gallbladder.  He was  able to stop performing hundreds  of gallbladder surgeries per year. If you take 90% of the number  of gallbladder  removals  performed  in  this country annually (about  half  a  million)  times the cost of surgery, you have the potential annual savings  from  this one procedure alone.  When  you multiply  the  cost  of caring  for  those  folks who have serious or deadly  after-effects  from  this surgery(discussed later in this article) you discover a reprehensible bloat of dollars and lives wasted.
SIGNS OF GALLBLADDER TROUBLE

The  earliest  signs  of gallbladder  problems  are nausea and “earping."  
  is  what  I  call  a cross  between a  hiccup  and  a  burp.  From here symptoms can include pain, diarrhea, fever,  vomiting,  and  more.  When  you  consider the  anatomy and physiology of the gallbladder, you  can  see that gallbladder removal for these symptoms  (except in the emergency cases listed) is band-aid therapy.

Bile  is  produced  in  the liver  and  passed  along through  ducts  that  go  into  the  intestines  to  help digest fats.  Without  adequate  bile,  you  have  difficulty  digesting  fats  and  getting sufficient  fat-soluble vitamins  like A,  D,  E,  and K.  A portion  of the  bile  from  the  liver  that  does  not  go  Immediately  into the intestines is  held  in  a sac called the gallbladder.  When  a  fatty  meal  is  eaten  or  when bile  is  needed,  the  gallbladder  sends  it  from storage  along  a  duct  lo  the  intestines  for  aiding digestion.

A  diet  or processed  foods  and  unhealthy  fats (too  many  vegetable  oils,  artificial  fats  like  margarine  and  the  like,  excessive  fatty  foods,  and deficiencies in certain types of phytonutrients from plants)  can  lead  to  problems  in  this  system.  The flow  of bile  is  slowed;  the bile becomes  thick:  and sludge,  crystals,  and  eventual  stones  will  build  up from  the  liver,  down  the  ducts  to  the  gallbladder. The storage  of this  debris  eventually  forms  small or even  large deposits  which  are called gallstones.


Band-aid Therapy

In  these cases  it is  obvious that the removal  of the sac or debris will do nothing about the cause of the problem.  Instead stale,  thick bile, sludge,  crystals,  and  debris  will  continue  to  build  up  in  the ducts,  and  even  up into the liver. Without  a gallbladder,  fat  digestion  will  be  impaired for the rest of your life.  Unless  and  until you address the problem,  you  will  continue  to  suffer from indigestion,  nausea, cramps, earps and more.
Picture
If you  catch  the  condition  before gangrene or infection, you can easily clean the system and even flush  most of the stale bile, crystals, and even small gallstones.  If. you  have  already  had  your gallbladder  removed,  the  same  procedure must still be performed.  all physicians miss. Whether you have already  had surgery or not, this cleanup is a must. And it must be followed with proper diet and phytonutrients in my opinion, if you have already had surgery, these procedures  are just as  critical  as  if you  were trying  to  save  your  gallbladder..  But if you  still have  your  gallbladder,  cholecystectomy  (gallbladder removal)  makes no  sense unless  you  have infection,  gangrene,  or spreading problems  to  the pancreas.  Gallbladder removal  without addressing the underlying causes of the problem often initiates the beginning of serious health problems.
Downward Health Spiral

Although  you  will  never be told  this  by  your doctor,  gallbladder removal  for older folks  can often start a serious downward health spiral. I have pondered  the reasons  for this  over the  years  after seeing the same pattern play out again and again. . . An individual has  his  or her gallbladder removed, and before  you  know it their memory  goes,  they get  more  and  more  sick,  they  are  headed  for  a nursing home, and often to their grave.

Too strong a statement? Not really. Indeed lots of folks  undergo  this  procedure  and  have  no  apparent repercussions.  But  after 30  years,  I  have seen  the same thing happen  so  many  hundreds  of times,  it can be no coincidence. As for the cause, I am still  at a loss  to pinpoint it.  Perhaps it is  nothing more than the after-effects of anesthesia. Maybe it is the impaired fat digestion of vitamins A, D, E,  and  K  that  automatically  follows  gallbladder removal. Perhaps it is the constant .24-hour-per-day flow of bile into the intestines that is abnormal and leads to health problems. Maybe the lack of bile in its  proper amounts  in  the body  causes  an  immune weakening–-after all bile is one of the most potent antioxidants known.

In  any case no one is able to pinpoint just why so  many  seniors  begin  to  go  downhill  quickly following gallbladder removal.  It could  be one or all of. the reasons I have just listed.  Or perhaps,  as is  so  often  the case,  the gallbladder serves  more functions  than  we  understand.  Whatever the  reason,  no surgeon  offers advice following surgery  to help  treat  the  underlying  causes  of gallbladder problems  which are still present. And you  won't get any  advice about  how  to  slay healthy,  digest fats properly, maintain proper fat-soluble vitamin balance, regain immune strength, keep your memory, stay out of a nursing home, or even stay alive. Therefore,  without articles  like this. you are permanently impaired following gallbladder surgery.

This  lack  of information  is  critical  to  think about if you are facing gallbladder surgery. Except in a dire emergency,  this is  a time to think reasonably and to take proper action before submitting to this procedure. Your surgeon won't tell you  about this downward health spiral following surgery. You have to  think for yourself here.  You  could be one of the lucky  ones  and have no  apparent problems following surgery.  Or you  could be one of a huge percentage of the unfortunate folks  whose odds  of premature nursing home or death skyrocket

                                               What to Do                                                                                                                                                                              

If you  constantly  have the earps  or any  of the other gallbladder symptoms  mentioned  above,  begin  cleaning up your system  now.  You  can start by eliminating fried foods, processed foods, vegetable oils  and  salad  dressings  (except homemade  dressings  with  olive  oil  or flax  oil),  margarine,  any synthetic  foods  deemed  lo  "save your heart,"  and almost everything recommended by  the American Heart Association .

Instead  eat  a Mediterranean  diet  with  lots  of vegetables.  Use olive  oil  with  salads.  Eat beets  if you can  get good organic beets.  The leaves, stems, and  beets  themselves  are all  wonderful.  Beets  can be  baked,  steamed,  shredded  and  eaten  raw,  or prepared in  all  kinds  of ways.  Organic  beet tops can be steamed or added to casseroles and foods. If you  are  diabetic,  eat  more  beet tops  than  beets because the beet has a high sugar content.
Beet  plants  contain  the  phytonutrient called betaine.  Betaine  is  like  a  solvent for bile.  It  will help the body keep the bile thin, smooth, and flowing.  This  will  prevent plaque,  crystals,  bile,  and stone buildup.  In  the more  severe cases,  consider a liver flush.  This is more of a Gallbladder Flush,  but since the bile originates in the liver,  this procedure will  benefit both the liver and gallbladder.
The flush consists  of consuming a cup of olive oil  with  lemon juice  and  a purging  laxative  agent (we use disodium  phosphate). The large amount of olive  oil  combined  with  the  purge  causes  the  gallbladder system to constrict over and over, flushing debris,  plaque,  stale  bile,  bile  crystals,  and  even gallstones from your system  into the intestines  and eventually into the toilet.

The  whole  procedure  takes  two  days.  When proceeded and followed with diet, exercise, phytonutrient supplements,  and  pure  water,  it can  save not only your gallbladder, but your life.  Remember my  old  doctor  friend  who  was  wise  enough  to learn new medical procedures  to save thousands of people  from  unnecessary  band~aid  surgeries.  This is the way you  should proceed also.

If you  are under age 70, you can perform this flush. In  fact, anyone can do it but after age 70, or if you have any serious health problems (especially gut problems )  you should only perform this flush with the knowledge of your doctor.
