i had known that i have gall stones, when one time my tummy aches (1st week of august) and i wasn't able to sleep. the pain throbs even at my back. nagpatakbo ako sa ER, gabi kasi sumakit. they injected something on me (i forgot kung ano yun eh) and the pain eases. that afternoon (went home madaling araw na), i went to see a gastro.. and she suggested to undergo ultrasound.. and there they saw the magical stones 'shone'.. =(.
this 1st week of september, my tummy again had her attack, ang sakit sobra, hindi ka patutulugin. again, gabi ulit yun so nagpatakbo ako ng ER and had the same medication. had my follow up check, and my doctor said that i have to undergo endoscopy. kanina, ang scheduled endoscopy ko and i'm waiting for the lab results.
my doctor said that kahit nagme-medicate ako for my tummy tapos umatake pa rin ang sakit... operation na raw ang next suggestion nya.. tatanggalin na gall bladder ko.

did some research about gall stone and gall bladder:
What does the gall bladder do?
The gall bladder stores bile, and releases it in optimum quantities when it is needed. Without your gall bladder, the liver will STILL produce bile, but the bile will leak inside you because it will not have a proper place to go.
What is bile?
The spleen breaks down worn-out red blood cells into bile salts and other substances. (What a wonderful system is our body! Even worn out blood cells get used!). Bile salts are normal in the body when in normal amounts.
The liver removes excess bile salts and wastes and sends them to the gall bladder for storage. The liver is the body's principal chemical plant. If a man built a plant to perform all the chemical functions one mans' liver could perform, the plant would cover 500 acres.
While the products are in the gall bladder, water is reabsorbed and so the waste products get more and more concentrated and form bile.
Bile is needed for 3 things:
1.It neutralizes the acid from the stomach (because bile is very alkaline)
2.It breaks down fats so that they can be digested
3.It is a natural laxative for the colon
Bile is essential in the digestion of fats. When you eat a meal with fats, the gall bladder releases a LARGE amount of bile to digest the fats. One big problem when a person has gall bladder surgery is that the body has nowhere to store bile until it is needed. Therefore, it just drips continually. And when a large amount is needed to digest a meal with a lot of fat, there is not anywhere enough bile added to digest it properly.
What are gall stones?
Stones can form anywhere in the body where there is a liquid containing mineral salts that can be crystallized and where the fluid is held for a while in a hollow organ, such as the gall bladder.
The stones may be large or small, and sometimes grow together causing extra large stones. Small stones are often excreted along with the bile and eliminated with no problem. Larger ones, however, can become lodged in the ducts, causing gall stone colic, one of the most painful illnesses known. At other times, gall stones may be silent. In autopsies, examiners often find gall bladders full of gall stones although the deceased had no complaints about them.
A gall stone is not a true stone. They are rather rubbery and soft. Most gall stones float. They are mostly green. The size varies from rice grains to golf balls. Even large gall stones will slip out easily with this gall stone cleanse. Dr Lewis had one lady who passed a gall stone as big as two hens eggs stuck together!!!
What Symptoms might be produced if there are Gall stones?
Gall stones can cause symptoms such as GALL BLADDER ATTACK, gall bladder problems and gall bladder pain.
Gall stones can also cause symptoms which seem unrelated to gall stones, such as GAS on the stomach, intestinal gas or cramping in the stomach.
If a gall stone remains lodged in the bile for a long time, there will be a buildup of bile behind it. This can result in JAUNDICE, where the skin turns yellow.
Gall stones are more likely to grow where there are high levels of cholesterol. CHOLESYSTITIS is an inflammation and possible infection of the gall bladder, caused by a blockage that has been there too long.
Organs never "malfunction". They never do something other than what they are supposed to do. But they do STOP working. The answer is not to remove the organ, but to work out what is needed to get the organ to start working again.
When ducts get blocked with gall stones, the bile must still get out into the small intestine. It may take another route and end up in the pancreas and by that route go to the small intestine. The body is making the best of a bad situation.
The trouble with this new pathway is that the bile irritates the pancreas. When a cell is irritated, it performs its function. In this case, the pancreas produces insulin. The problem with this is that the insulin is being produced at the wrong time, and this can cause HYPOGLYCAEMIA (low blood sugar) when the insulin breaks sugar down. Later on, when insulin is needed, there will not be enough, and that causes HYPERGLYCAEMIA (too much sugar) - in other words, DIABETES.
Dr Claude Lewis believes that "gall stones are probably the major cause for the adult onset of diabetes". (Though eating sugar is probably a big cause too. Diabetes did not exist before we had sugar).
Understand that this is not a cure for diabetes, but Dr Lewis has had people who greatly reduced or eliminated their insulin after flushing out their gall stones.
Warning to people who take INSULIN:
After you do a gall stone cleanse, check your insulin levels before taking any insulin. Otherwise you may suffer insulin shock, from making your insulin levels too high. This happened to one woman in her 30s 4 days after flushing out her gallstones.
Removing gall stones may also help CONSTIIPATION, because it improves the flow of bile which is a natural laxative.
Removing gall stones may also help to improve a body that is generally "run down".
HEPATITIS is an inflammatory process in the liver. It can be caused by gall stones, because of the back-log of impure products.
This gall stone cleanse is good also for those who have HAD THEIR GALL BLADDER REMOVED! To quote from the book:
'I remember one lady … who'd had her gall bladder surgically removed … "I can't believe it," she told me. "I'm still having the same symptoms I had before I had the gall bladder operation three years ago".
"You probably have gall stones" I said
"You didn't hear me," she responded. "I told you I had my gall bladder removed three years ago."
"That doesn't have anything to do with it. You're still alive; therefore, your liver keeps on removing impurities. They have to go somewhere, and they've formed more gall stones."
(The doctor told her to watch "what she ate", but did not tell her what she should and shouldn't eat. After all, the average doctor spends only 12 hours or less learning about nutrition in a five year course)
This woman did the olive oil-lemon juice cleanse with very good results. Needless to say, she was very surprised!
GALL BLADDER SURGERY
The medical system likes to surgically remove the gall bladder as a treatment for gall stones. The resulting scar is meant to be only 6" long, but the author of "Are you stoned?" knows several people who have had much longer scars, and two women who no longer wear two-piece bathing suits.
After gall bladder surgery, tubes drain the excess fluid from the incision and a tube will drain bile from the bile duct. The tubes may be needed for as long as ten days. Two weeks is the usual stay in hospital.
NON-SURGICAL REMOVAL OF GALL STONES
Dr Lewis found that 99% of the people who did his gall bladder cleanse had gall stones.
Dr Lewis' method removes gall stones:
* Easily
* Painlessly
* Virtually for free
* Usually overnight
PLUS you get to keep your gall bladder, which is essential to keep your body at peak health!
The ONLY ingredients you need are virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
There are some optional ingredients: Prior to the cleanse, apple, carrot, orange or grapefruit juice for a brief fast. During the cleanse, some V8 juice or pineapple juice.
Following the cleanse he strongly recommends vitamin c, methionince, choline, inositol and lecithin be added to your daily supplements.
A. SUGGESTED PRE-CLEANSE
A colonic irrigation to clean out the system for easier elimination of the stones is recommended prior to the cleanse. You may need to start this a week or so before the treatment, to be able to have several colonic irrigations.
If you can't have colonic irrigation, consider an enema.
Do one or two days of modified fasting using fresh juices. Apple and carrot juice are probably the best. Unsweetened orange and grapefruit are next. Fresh is the first choice, fresh frozen second.
Drink as much as you like!
B. THE CLEANSE
Pick a day when you have nothing much to do the next day, and preferably even the day after. Friday is best for most people who have the weekend off. Don't make any plans to go out!
DO NOT EAT ANY SOLID FOOD after noon on the cleanse day. You may drink water or fresh juices, as much as you like.
DO NOT HAVE ANY FLUIDS after 6.30 pm (or 30 minutes before the start of your treatment) on the day of cleanse. Give your stomach time to evacuate all the fluids. Then the olive oil won't float up on top of the fluid and your chances of nausea will be greatly reduced.
YOU WILL NEED:
One pint of virgin olive oil.
One half-pint of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Peppermint oil (from your health food store)
Pineapple or V8 juice (note: Biotta vegetable juice from Health food store is likely better than V8)
Measuring cup or tablespoon size measuring spoon
Pitcher of water
Paint stirring stick
Jar with screw-on lid
Index cards
Net to drape under the toilet seat, to catch your stones
Place the net under you toilet seat so it will be ready when you need it. Lift the seat and place the net across the porcelain stool, then replace the seat so it will hold the net in place. Place the pitcher of water and the paint stirring stick next to the toilet ready for when you need them. Also have handy the screw-on lid for storing your gall stones and the index card.
If you should experience extreme nausea or vomiting, try chasing it with a small amount of V8 juice or pineapple juice. Or you might try adding a few drops of peppermint oil to the olive oil. Use one of these mixtures for a couple of doses and then go back to the olive oil and lemon juice without adding anything.
THE PROCEDURE
12 Noon
Stop eating all solid food
6.30 pm
Stop drinking all fluids
7.00 pm
Using a measuring device, pour ¼ cup (four tablespoonfuls) of olive oil and drink it.
Follow immediately with one or two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice.
Lie down and relax.
Repeat this every 15 minutes. Sit up, swallow it and lie down again. If possible, have someone else bring them to you.
Relax, read or watch television. Keep as still as possible. It is best to lie on your right side.
Repeat the exact dosage every 15 minutes until you have swallowed all of the pint of olive oil. If there is any lemon juice left, drink it all.
It is now probably 10.00 or 10.30 pm
Remember, if you have terrible nausea or vomiting sensations, use the peppermint oil in the olive oil, or chase the olive oil with a small amount of V8 or pineapple juice, until you can resume taking the plain olive oil and lemon juice.
While you are taking the olive oil and lemon juice, if it gets hard to swallow, take a little more time between doses. Try 20 minutes between doses, or 25 minutes. Try to swallow all of the oil and lemon juice. If you are too nauseated to get it all down, take as much as you possibly can.
You have finished the olive oil and lemon juice. Now go to bed and do your best to go to sleep. Lie on your right side. This position speeds up the process of the olive oil entering the gall bladder to act as a lubricant. This, along with the softening action of the lemon juice, will help to free the stones more easily and readily from the gall bladder. Stay in bed and forget everything until the urge to go the toilet comes.
That was really quite simple, wasn't it?
About 2.00 or 3.00 am you'll probably wake up with the unmistakeable urge to go to the toilet. It may not happen. For some, it doesn't happen until 11am the next day. If your first bowel movement is at 2.00 or 3.00 am you will probably have no stones in it, but you'll want to check to be sure.
When you have the first bowel movement after the cleanse, you'll use the pitcher of water and the paint stirring stick to wash the fecal material through the net. Pour water gently and use the stick to separate the stones from the fecal material. The fecal material will be runny and wash through the net.
You can use the index card, folded in half, as a makeshift shovel. Place the stones in the jar and screw the lid on. You may want to show your stones to some people. Many will be amazed, but some will still be unbelievers. You certainly want to keep your stones for a while to remind yourself that it was all worth while. After a few days they will dissolve (because of the lemon juice and oil). If you want to keep them for an indefinite period, store them in your freezer with a label - GALL STONES. DON'T' EAT!!!!
You may notice green objects and maybe greenish liquid excrement in the toilet bowel. Those are small gall stones. Some gall stones may be dissolved by the treatment.
Dr Lewis found that 1% of people failed to pass gall stones. If you are one of these 1%, don't be disappointed. In some individuals, the powerful action of the lemon juice causes the stones to dissolve before they are passed out of the body. IF you have only greenish liquid bowel movements, the cleanse has been effective.
Notice any increase in vitality that usually follows the cleanse.
Remember, optimum efficiency in the human body can only occur if all our God-given parts are working properly.
