Re: URGENT: in detox from psychiatric medications; intense liver/gallbladder pain!

Hi

So sorry you are feeling so unwell.

I suffered from Depression on and off for many years, also PMT (really badly), migraines and general lethargy. What changed it all for me was going vegan. I think our bodies have a hard time digesting animal products and in the case of dairy a great deal of the world loses its tolerance for lactose once weaned.

Anyway, since adopting a high raw vegan diet three years ago, which includes plenty of juice and fresh oils (may particular favourite is Udo’s), my Depression has gone completely as has my PMT, which is a real relief. My migraines, which used to last three days at a time and happen twice a month, have now turned into the occasional light headache (one every three months or so) which last half a day. Also, I don’t flake out half way through the day like I used to. So I think that the diet has been a great success. If you want a well respected opinion on this type of diet you might find the Dr Schulze sections on this site interesting.

I do have some gallstone problems but I believe these stones were formed many years ago when I had a very high dairy diet. (My doctor agrees.) Interesting thing though. Many people on this site report lots of green cholesterol stones when they flush. I have never had these but have just god rid of what appear to be old hard stones. I think that maybe this is because I don't eat any cholesterol. (We don't need to eat it we make our own.)

As for the pain you have in your liver. Make sure you have it checked out first just to make sure. Then read this site thoroughly and do what feels best for your body.

I wish you the very best of health.

Jasmine.
