I have been troubled by gall stones for some time now. I was sent for an ultra sound and referred to a specialist to arrange surgery. I was told I had many small gallstones, surgery is the only option. I heard sometimes they can be blasted with sound waves and various things but the doctors and radiologist advised me that this is not usually successful. And not really even considered any more. The only option is to remove my gall bladder.
I was rather unhappy to hear that news.As I still have "all my bits" in tack.Tonsils, adenoids, appendix, all my teeth, with the only exception being my wisdom teeth! (What does that mean? Lacking in wisdom ya think? I have been praying God restore in that area!!) But basically I am still all original. And surely God gave us a gallbladder for good reason! They were telling me I don't need it!
However I was accepting of the fact that this surgery was the only option. I did mention to a few people however, that I was sad to lose any "bits". One of prayed that I would get to keep "all my innards" as he put it. I was still of the belief that surgery was the only option.
I mentioned to a friend at the homeschoolers picnic about my gallstones. She said, Oh I had that. I was eager to ask her about her experience. I responded with, "Oh, so you had you gall bladder out, what happened"? "No", she said."I went to a health farm in Queensland and passed them". My first thought was they must have been smaller and not requiring surgery. I said, "well mine must be worse than that. They say the only option for me is to remove my gall bladder". She said, "They said that to me too". I asked her, "You mean they actually wanted to remove you gall bladder"? she said "yes". Well, I didn't get to talk much more to her that day but I had an appointment with the surgeon the following week. He explained about the surgery. And I told him about my friend. I said she went a health farm in Queensland and passed them. He was sceptical and said they would be quacks".He said "that's why they are in Queensland. the laws are different". He said she no doubt didn't really have
Gallstones in the first place. I told him I would consider the surgery, and went home and phoned my friend.
She assured me she had had an ultra sound, and was in a great deal of pain. The doctors were calling her irresponsible for not having the surgery. The doctor had actually come to her house on occasions to give her injections for extreme pain and had refused to come again if she didn't book in to have the surgery. She said she spent 10 days there and they put her on a detox diet to flush out her system and "pass" the gallstones.
She said she came home with them in bottle and hasn't been troubled since. She also said the experience changed her life. She heard lectures while she was there on nutrician and life style and has changed the way her whole family eat. She also reported she came home looking 10 years younger and full of energy. That was five years ago. She as been pain free to tis day.
I was encouraged, though I was concerned about how I could get away for 10 days to Queensland. Robert would have to take time off work to stay home with kids and all. Let alone coming up with over $2,000. I started to think, there must be a way to do this yourself. May be somewhere in Sydney to go to as an out patient. Surely. So I put gallstone flushes into the search engine of my computer and came up with this amazing web site.
Reading of these flushes, and a number of "recipes" for the flushes. I was amazed to see there is actually a whole forum for people who have done the flushes, to share their experiences and answer questions! They all seemed to be reporting passing gallstones!
Well as my husband Robert was in the process of changing jobs, he took a week off before starting the new one, and I booked into "Roberts health farm". He did the flush first in trial and got it a bit wrong, but worked out how to do it for me, by trial and error.
The next evening he acted as supervisor, and gave me the potion! Yuk. It was revolting. The next morning I passed a lot of globby little floating stones that seemed like the start of something.
The morning of day two, I passed a heap of small rockhard gallstones. Like little volcanic rocks that float, About a desert spoon full. I am convinced they are the real thing.
I even showed them to my friend and she responded with,"Yes, that's them, that's what they look like".
I feel so much better already. Way less aches and pains. The people on the "gallstone forum" say you sometimes need to do few flushes to get them all out. I think I have more to go, but I am very encouraged. They report the big back ones come out after a few flushes.Then they recommend regular flushes, once or twice a year. They say most every one has at least a few gallstones, especially as we get older. But they don't always cause a problem.
I am glad I did it. It's been two weeks now since I did it. They recommend waiting at least two weeks between flushes. So I am going back to "Roberts Health farm" next weekend, to "go again". I'll let you know what results!
Well I typed this to a friend over a week ago.
This is the UPDATE to date;
I had planned to do flush number two this weekend.Three weeks after the first one that had encouraging results.During Thursday night , about 4.00am I experienced the onset of another big attack. I thought I could ride it through, as the others have tended to last about 6-7 hours. I tried so hard to relax and get comfortable and cope with the pain.I wanted to avoid going to the energency out patients at the hospital, as you can wait hours in the waiting room before even being seen by a Doctor and then they keep for hours again.
By morning, I couldn't take any more and Robert took me to the local Doctors surgery and I was given a shot of pethidine. I came home stayed up, at leats pain free, for a while as it was my daughters 15th birthday.I hadn't wrapped her presents, and wanted to do this and give them to her. I finally crashed out. I wanted to take her to diner, but sent her off with her eighteen year old cousin Amy, to celebrate at the movies instead.
I slept all night and just about all the next day. The intense pain was gone due to the pethidine, but I still felt tender and sore, and weak.
Saturday, evening I decided to do the second flush as planned. I felt something may still be lodged in the wrong place,and hoped the oil would dislodge it. I had the potion as well as the
Epsom Salts as directed and went to sleep.I thought I may have been all slept out, but I felt tired still, and managed to drop off to sleep ok.
About 4.00 a.m. I felt that indigestion , bile , uncomfortable feeling again. I was concerned, as I didn't get that with the first flush.I had actually felt fine. I thought this was telling me something was still blocked. The pain persisted and I experienced another gallstone attack. Robert gave me mersyndol Forte pain killers that the doctor prescribed for me ,and read on the web sight that cod liver oil may help.
We had some capsuals of that , as well as valerian. Eventually I fell asleep and woke up a couple of hours later,(about 10:00 am this morning) with the acute pain gone, but still a lot of discomfort and tender sore tummy. I haven't seen any positive results yet from last nights flush.I presume nothing got by a blockage.I don't yet know. I would be pleased to find I am wrong about this. Robert brought me some fresh apple juice and flavoured tofu. He is so lovely.
I have to find out more about doing the flush just after an attack. I was in two minds about whether to do it last night, and decided I wanted to give it a go, to get on with it and get it all out of the way.
I didn't do the
parasite flush. I think That may have made a difference, if I had. Apparently the presence of bacteria can cause pain. But I didn't have this the first time, though. And I didn't do the
parasite flush then either.
I just don't know.
I'd be very interested to hear from anyone having similar experiences. What did I do wrong? What should I have done? Is it ok to flush during or just after a gallstone attack?
I still feel sore and tender. What helps this?
