Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Hey rawfoodists-- What would you guys say in response to this??? Any input/wisdom/experiences to share??? ---Jenny " Our daughter has suffered for the past two years of re-ocurring episodes of excruciating and debilitating bouts of pain and vomitting. In the beginning her attacks were about 3 months apart, the last two attacks have been only a month and days apart. After consulting a specialist at an excellent medical clinic and many tests the doctor was still perplexed about her symptoms. We were happy to have many major problems eliminated though, as test after test came back negative. Finally the ultrasound showed she has gallstones! As her specialist says: " Her symptoms are perplexing and a-typical for someone so young. Gallstones usually appear in older women in the late 50's 60's range. " So...we are proceeding with this diagnosis and looking at gallbladder surgery sometime around Christmas. We are making choices of surgeons and hospitals. Our daughter is very happy to have a diagnosis and is anxious to get this surgery over with and get on with her college and scholarship application process. We will all be relieved when this is over.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Hi Jenny, This is just my " 2 cents " but I too had the pain of gall stones for about a year. I thought I was having a heart attach each time and my husband would drive me to the hospital in the middle of the night. Every time the pain would suddenly stop about 5 minutes from the hospital or just as we drove into the parking lot (it is an hour drive to the hospital and I would usually wait hours before deciding to go). Turned out to be gallstones. My last episode lasted 3 days and I finally called 911 because I couldn't take the pain any longer. They took me to the hospital but had to keep me there for 4 days before they could do surgery to take my gall bladder out because my vital sign were so bad (or at least that is what they told me). By the time they took me into surgery my pain had been completely gone for 2 days (the stone that was " stuck " had finally passed so the pain stopped). I was not allowed to eat anything during this time (at all). I was miserable. I had read that having your gall bladder removed can cause some serious problems. I asked my Dr. about this and he told me " these problems are very rare " . Well not rare enough because everyone I have talked to (all women) who have had their gall bladder taken out have had the same " rare problems " . If I had to do it over I would have walked out of the hospital when the pain stopped and changed my diet then. But, I didn't know then what I know now. Even if your gall bladder is removed if you don't change what caused the stones in the first place they will show up later somewhere else. According to what I have read usually as kidney stones. We do need our gall bladders, and tonsils, and everything else the Dr's take out. God didn't make junk! Everything that is in our bodies is there for a reason and I for one have had too many body parts removed because I didn't do enough research. Everything can be healed by a change of diet and a water fast. It's a lot cheaper and a lot healthier than going " under the knife " . Breezi PS the reason so many women in their 50's & 60's get gall stones is due to hormone replacement therapy....I was one of those victims " Our daughter has suffered for the past two years of re-ocurring episodes of excruciating and debilitating bouts of pain and vomitting.... Finally the ultrasound showed she has gallstones! As her specialist says: " Her symptoms are perplexing and a-typical for someone so young.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Dr. Hulda Clark's protocol for ejecting gall stones has had a great deal of success. I know a few people that have avoided surgery with this method. http://www.curezone.com/cleanse/liver/huldas_recipe.asp rusty - <jennysilliman <rawfood > Saturday, November 22, 2003 4:23 PM [Raw Food] Gallstones > Hey rawfoodists-- > What would you guys say in response to this??? > Any input/wisdom/experiences to share??? > ---Jenny > > " Our daughter has suffered for the past two years of re-ocurring > episodes of excruciating and debilitating bouts of pain and vomitting.
