Hi,

I have always been curious about this. When is it too late to do something?

I don't really know the answer to your question. I, too, would like to know if there is such a time that it is past time to heal the infected organ.

I have a friend who was having pains and they told her it was her gall bladder. I was just learning about the cleanses then, and so I told her about this. She was desperate not to have surgery and so she tried doing a liver cleanse. (she was taking pain medication at the time, so she did a cleanse while on pain meds) She did remove gall stones, but her doctor removed her gall bladder, anyway. He said that it was only functioning at 8%. I imagine that was true. I don't know. She has still been having trouble since March when she was first having pains. Now they want to go in and remove part of her small intestine. She is scheduled for surgery in January.

I want so much for her to do a colon cleanse, but that one liver cleanse was all she did.

I don't know if it is "too late" for her to cleanse her colon and start the repairing of her body. I don't know if it's "too late" for you to do a liver cleanse or if it will bring on an attack. I have never experienced this so it would be hard for me to tell you to go ahead.

There have been people on this board who have successfully done cleanses when faced with surgery. I do believe that our bodies have the ability to heal themselves-given the right conditions-alkaline diet, maybe herbal suppliments. I just don't know. Hopefully, someone will have some brilliant advice for you.

Thanks,
Tisha

Many on this site have saved their gallbladders. Many were scheduled for surgery and canceeld after the cleanse worked. Most doctors aren't aware of liver/gallbladder cleansing. Many people also report still feeling ill after their gallbladders are ripped out. Its your call. Benounced to most doctors, your body knows how to repair its self, it just needs a little help.

You know, my sister, who ALWAYS does what her Dr. says, had her gallbladder removed because the Dr. said she needed to have it removed. After the surgery, she developed a severe staph infection (from the hospital) and years later, still doesn't have full function of her arm. A few months ago, she developed Arthritis and was given medication. I am not sure how this happened, but because of the steroids she was taking for the arthritis, she now is a diabetic and more medication. She has high blood pressure and high cholestral and takes medication for that.

Do I believe in what a Dr. tells me? I am in a "Dr. family" (relatives) and I believe you go to your Dr. when all else fails and then make your own decision.

Your Dr. is the 4th leading cause of death. I will leave it at that...................

Fat brings on attacks for me too. For some reason olive oil does not. If you want to give it a try, start with 3TBSP olive oil and 1/2 lemon juice after fasting a few h,
maybe as little as 2. That is how I started.

Hi,

Your doctor is telling you what his limited information on gall bladders is -- that gall bladders are bad things that should be removed, and that removal is the only medical option.

This is false.

Granted, if you keep doing the things that got you into the condition that you're in now, then, yes, your gall bladder will continue to form stones, and you will spend the rest of your life having an attack every now and then.

Understand, however, that doing flushes is not going to guarantee that you never have an attack, until you've done enough flushes to get rid of all the stones, and you've changed your dietary or other habits so that your gall bladder no longer forms stones.

Jaundice and infection are very real possibilities if you don't have your gall bladder removed and you don't do anything else about it. This is how medicine makes its money. By giving you no other options than "do nothing" and "cut it out", eventually you'll have to get it cut out, because decay is inevitable if nothing is done!

I have had gall bladder attacks, which is what brought me around to finding out about this flush I'd vaguely heard about years ago. I've done several flushes, and I've never had an attack while actually doing the flush, although I've clearly pushed out some nasty stones during the flush. Flushing makes the stones come out with something like a mild internal tickle, not the usual gut-wrenching pain.

But bear in mind that I have had attacks despite the flushes, and, in fact, the worst attack I ever had, eight hours long, occurred the day following a flush from eating some cheesy pizza for dinner. I had done some fasting prior to this, which really helped clean me out, but then... the one flush wasn't enough to get rid of everything my gall bladder had ready for shoving out, and so... ouch!!! Prior to this, my worst gall bladder attack was maybe ninety minutes long.

So consider that the gall bladder flush is a double-edged sword. Cleaning out your system doesn't mean you'll be guaranteed freedom from pain forever. No one can promise you that, most especially not your doctor.

Re-read what Southern Belle posted about her sister. Your doctor didn't bother to tell you about the risks and side effects, did he? But those risks are also very real, and they do happen, and, whereas the worst thing that's happened to me was that eight-hour gall bladder attack, which is pretty rare -- anyone else here had one? -- Belle's sister is somewhat permanently disabled.

Further, plenty of folks who have had their gall bladders removed have nevertheless continued to experience attacks which clearly had nothing to do with their gall bladders! You can read about that in some of the posts in the archive folders.

Choices, choices...

Good luck!

Ask your doctor if he thinks you will die if you don't get your gallbladder out now. Ask him if you could wait six months before you get it removed. Tell him you are going on a long vacation,
or you don't have the money, or you are having a problem with your insurance or what ever.......
If he says yes, then start doing the colon, kidney and liver/gall bladder cleanses now, plus change your diet. (If it was me I would not tell the doctor). If you don't change your diet, then the
cleanses will basically be a waste of time in my opinion. The body was created by God, and if given the proper chance it can heal itself. Good luck with your life.

totaldandy,
I sincerely hope that you give the gallbladder/liver cleanse a try. Three months ago I went to ER with attack. They did ultrasound and saw stones, of course. Wanted to admit me and do immediate surgery. I declined...they said that I should at least follow up with an appointment at my regular doctor. I did that right away and he said I would die if I did not have surgery. Well....when the attack first started I had been on the computer and had printed out a page about liver cleanse. My doctor wouldnt even read it and he said the oil would just cause another attack...at that point he walked out, slamming the door. I came home and read the ingredients needed, went to the store and got extra virgin cold pressed olive oil and lemons. I did the flush that night, after not eating for almost 24 hours, because I was scared of another attack. I drank a cup and a half of the oil and sipped the lemon juice. The next day I passed over a hundred stones. The oil did not cause another attack. I have done four more flushes. I did not die, I did not let them take out my gall bladder. They tried to scare me by telling me that I could get jaundice and on and on. What scared me most was that they wanted to take out my gall bladder. I have had no more attacks. I have changed my diet. I hope you can read the personal testomonies about this wonderful liver/gall bladder cleanse and I hope that you have the courage to give it a try.
Sincerely,
Blueduck

Nothing to fear with the oil I assure you. If it caused gallbladder attacks, none of us have done them. I can get a gallbladder attack just LOOKING at ice cream and this doesn't do a thing to me. Sure, the Epsom Salts might not taste that great, but the more cleanses you do the easier it is. Decide that the fear of getting your gallbladder removed is going outweigh fear of the oil causing an attack.

Can you get a second opinion on your gallbladder? I'm inclined to think that getting stones and sludge out would increase the odds that your gallbladder could heal itself and function normally once again. At least that's the theory I'm going with in avoiding having mine removed!

The real question is: do u want to be a part of money making machine and sucrifice your body for the medical research? If not - u'll find plenty of suggestions on this forum.
