  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I am in no way a Dr. but all my symptoms seem to point to my gallbladder, has anyone had experience with Gallbladder issues? Have you tried a natural method of relieving the problem or is it only a surgery end solution? I will go see my Dr about it, if the symptoms dont get relieved with natural remedies, just want to see if anyone has had sucess with anything other than surgeries.

I wish I could help you. I had mine removed. On the ultrasound a few weeks before, they saw gallstones. Then when they removed my gallbladder, they found none. (I had no doubts that gallstones were the culprit, but it is unsatisfying that the little beasties fled the scene...)

Surgery is no fun, but I haven't had those horrid pains ever since (childbirth is the only other intense pain to come close to gallstone attacks). They told me my gallbladder wasn't working right anyway, so my body would not really notice its absence.

I have heard of drug remedies and changes of diet will help, after you have the gallstones removed (not the gallbladder). But the gallstones have to be small and few. They usually come back anyway. I guess it depends on the details. Don't give up hope, though.

I did my pre-surgery research on something called www.medbroadcast.com. Give it a try. :wave:

I read a home remedy once for dealing with gall-stones. It suggested a few days with mega doses of natural apple juice.(meaning from a juicer made from fresh apples since the store bought is so watered down it is not at all the same)
Anyway, a person drinks 6-8 apples juiced everyday for three days straight. This is supposed to soften the stones to a large extent. I can't remember now if a person fasted from other foods while doing this or ate normally.
As a second more long term solution, one of the causes of stones is often a mineral deficiency. The body when chronically deprieved borrows minerals from non-survival sites in order to maintain essential functions. One of the sites it is commonly borrowed from is the gall bladder so that the stones form because the chemical imbalance which results favors stones forming. Liquid mineral supplements are best as they are absorbed by the body more consistently and efficiently. Often if this is indeed the problem then the lack of minerals has been going on for years leading up to it. Lack of minerals can cause other more serious problems in the long run if left unchecked so I would suggest checking this out in any case.

I did a similar gallbladder flush several years ago, drinking apple juice in large quantities for about a week. After a week you must fast for one day, then that evening you drink a mixture of one part lemon juice and one part olive oil (NASTIEST STUFF YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE) and go to bed. The next morning the stones are passed when you go to the bathroom. I did not have obvious gall bladder problems but hundreds of these little green things came out of me (sorry to sound gross). Now, I didn't take any of those llittle things in to get them analyzed to see if they really were gall-stones, but they fit a perfect description of them to a T. Pea-sized, greenish, bumpy.
