Subject: dried figs - a tried method for gall stones problems


One of my relatives has tried one method. It is a proved one. If we soak about 5-6 dried figs in low-fat milk for about 10 minutes and eat these figs empty stomach in the morning, you will be relieved from gall stones severe pain. There will be no attack in future for sure. My relative used to be hospitalized due to severe pain of gb stones.

Now, he is eating everything and there is no pain, but, he
is continuing eating these figs.

To All,
I have to share this with you all. I was doing fine after my first real flush (Sun)until 4:am this morning, when I woke up with moderate pain. I had to be at a meeting so I was concerned about the meeting and the pain. About 4:30 I said a desperate prayer and then remembered that I had read about drinking the apple juice with cider in it. So I poured a glass about 3/4 full of apple juice and then put the teaspoon of apple cider in it. I still don't see how it could do anything, but with in ten minutes the pain stopped and I went back to sleep (had very weird dreams though). But I haven't had any pain since 4:45am and it's after 5:pm now.

If it means anything, I wasn't too hungry yesterday for supper all I had was rice and soy sauce, and good hand full of pretzels.
One other thing, Do most of you hurt more when you BREATHE DEEP?

I have no doubt the prayer helped because it has many times before, but I don't understand how a little tsp. of apple cider can do anything in a glass of apple juice. Does anybody know why it would work?

Ive had 7 ercps 2 sphincterotomys and one pancreatitus attack in the last two years. I have diabetes 2 for the last 2 years. The last ercp and sphincterotomy was 37 days ago. My body is telling me i have stones again. Also i had my gallblatter removed 36 years ago and never had a problem until 2 years ago and it has not stopped. do you think i should give my self a cleanse.

do anything other than have your gallbladder removed! most people are not affected by it but there is a 5% chance that something will go wrong. i had my gallbladder out 2 days before xmas and it was the worst mistake i could have done. i have been in a lot of pain since. no one believed me till today when another doctor done a complete set of bloods from me. only 1 result has came back so far and it shows i now have liver problems. i dont know what can be done to rectify it but i have to go back into hospital AGAIN!
please find another cure and save yourself a lot of pain and hassle.

GOOD LUCK.

I have been having what I believe are gallstone attacks about every 3 months for the last 3-4 years. My attacks always happen in the evening and last until 3-4am the next day. Every once in awhile I will have the same episode 2 days in a row, but the pain goes away during the daytime. I saw my physician and she set me up to have an ultrasound and bloodwork done. Everything came back negative??? I continue to have this every 3 month pain and no over the counter med seem to touch the pain!
For the first time tonight I tried the quick relief (1 cup of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice with 1 TBS of Epsom Salts ). I AM SO RELIEVED!!! IT WORKED IN ABOUT 45 MINUTES!!! THE PAIN IS GONE. THANK YOU:)

Location of acupressure points

Recently I succeeded twice to stop an attack by pressing my thumbs between the lower ribs on the frontside of my body. I started pressing in the area until I found the most painful place. Then I pressed stronger and did some deep breathing. Then my induced pain mixed with the abdominal pain, became even stronger, but when I released the thumbs, the abdominal pain did not return.
(Do You know this amazing feeling when your pain fianlly fades away....)

Other things I tried in the past which where successful sometimes:

- moving: jogging, jumping, dancing, kundalini meditation (standing and shaking your body, a movement that starts from the knees - do this for 15 minutes - there is a soundtrack available for this)

- hyperextension of my body backwards, on a chair or something similiar

- putting 2 tennisballs on a carpet near to each other and lying on them so that there is pressure on the muscels on both sides of the spine. Looking for the most painful point, taking deep breaths (sometimes crying).

- laughter (strong and continued: the body releases then endorphins, an excellent pain killer and I think also relaxing the ductmuscles?)

- manual pressure in the upper abdomen and along the lower ribs

- visualisation of the bile ducts extending and expelling stones into the intestines

- coffee enema

-inducing vomiting (finger in throat...)

- if nothing else goes: diclofenac/voltaren injection i.m. 75 mg


My background: I am female, 41 y, having gallbladder attacks for about 10 years, refusing operation.
My attacks are frequently complicated by pancreatitis.
I had about 15 - 20 attacks in these 10 years and about 5 hospital stays
I have learned a lot and I am feeling that my health in generally improved since I started to have this disease

Food does not cause me any more attacks, since I started about onee year ago to drink every morning: juice of one lemon plus 1 cm of olive oil in the glass (about 3 tbspoons??) plus 150 cc water
Then I wait for one hour before I start eating (a good time to do yoga or jogging)

What eles triggered attacks:
- lack of sports
- bad emotional states (laughter yoga and courses for emotional release (shouting, bioenergetic treatments) helped me a lot)
- sitting bend forward (in front of the computer) after a big meal
- intense acupressure treatment on the gallbladder meridian on my legs
- coffee enema(!)

What I am doing between attacks, that keeps my liver and gallbladder in a good state:
- Herbal tea: boldo, chelidonium, cardus marianus, taraxacum, quassia
- sports
- laughter
- avoiding sugar
- once I had a very strict low fat diet, but it was not very tasty and on the long run not healthy. Today I eat everything.
- happieness, living intense, having fun, loving
- coffee enema sometimes ( keeping it for 20 minutes, experienced great meditations during this time)
- acupressure

I understood, that sometimes when my body throws stone(s) it is a sign of improving health because my body wants to get rid of the stones....

I love the curezone website - YOU DO A GREAT JOB PEOPLE!!!!!

With love and laughter

I tried the Epsom Salt & grapefruit juice method not long ago. Thought I'd post a warning. This did not help me, instead it made the pain worse until I vomitted.

Thank you,

I tried the walking, jumping recommended above and I found that a similar result could be obtained by bouncing up and down on the balls of my feet, landing quite heavily on my heels.

I could feel the obstruction move across to the right and down, after only two sessions of about 10 - 15 seconds, the pain had almost completely subsided, I also took two asprin at this time and within minutes was completely free of pain.

It worked for me after a night of agony. Try it yopu have nothing to lose.

I have suffered from gallstone pain and i know the pain can be very severe and almost unbearable. I havent done the liver/gallbladder cleanse yet but i plan to. I have all the ingredients, first i want to learn more about it so i can do it right. I used advil to help take the pain away it, helps but the pain is still there. I knew for along time that Cayenne Pepper has alot of good health uses. I recently found out that drinkin the Cayenne Pepper water is good to take daily and they say its good for the heart and many other things. I found out that its a good pain reliever espesially if your suffering from gallstones. You can learn how to make the Cayenne Pepper water on youtube. They say its good to take with a cup or cup and a half of warm water and to start out with a quarter teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper, you can add lemon juice to help go down but its good without it. I was starting to have a gallstone attack a few weeks ago and i can feel the fever coming on and i drank some Cayenne Pepper water and the pain went away within 10 minutes. I take Cayenne Pepper with warm water daily, to learn more about it search on youtube and cayennepepper.info has alot of good info. I hope that helps.
