BHT, Magnesium, and switch to clean water for Gallstones; Gallbladder Attacks

Good day! I have suffered from gallstones causing gallbladder attacks twice yearly beginning fall of 2019. I have found a very simple remedy that allows me to cheaply treat my gallstones when they present each spring and fall.

Number 1: Most remedies will not work long term if the underlying issue remains present. For me on of my underlying issues is the quality of water I consume.

Clean Water

I have to use a reverse osmosis system that adds minerals back in post filtration. Even more importantly is keeping the filters changed not just on time, but slightly early. If filters are not changed on time, contaminants and mineral deposits the body cant use are leeched back into your drinking water and will cause harm to your health.

For example: my current system is a single all in one filter system by Waterdrop. Filter life advertised as "1 year". Never go by this. Look at amount of gallons filtered instead. Mine is 950. The drain:waste ratio is 1:1. Means that for every gallon of water filtered for consumption; another gallon is drained as waste by the system. Therefore; I can only really expect to get 475 gallons of use from this filter. I use about 2.5 gal a day. 475 divided by 2.5gal per day = 190 days of use. That gives me roughly 6 months of filter life. I find when I get close to the 6 month mark, I begin to get nausea, dizziness, and gallbladder pangs and stabs as stones begin to form rapidly from my now unfiltered and contaminated water due to an overused filter.

My Remedy

• is obviously first to change the filter, a bit early, around 5 and a half month mark.
• I take 1/16 tsp of BHT (Butylated Hydroxy Toluene) as a 140 lb man, on an empty stomach, with 5 drops of magnesium chloride water (made using 1:1 water:magnesium chloride crystals)
• I wash the above down with a tall glass of water (hydration itself dilates blood vessels and organ ducts to allow for more free flow)
• I rub a dropper full of magnesium chloride water on my entire gallbladder and liver area
• I sip on hot water or herbal tea (or sometimes coffee even) for 15 minutes, drinking tall gulps of regular water in between
• Within about 15-30 minutes, my gallbladder's main bile duct begins to undulate and push stones through - felt as twitching and banding against my stomach skin.
• I feel warmth as fresh bile begins to flow where the stone was blocking the ducts.
• My nausea and dizziness disappear, and my appetite returns

If 1/16th tsp BHT doesn't do it, I take another 1/16th tsp.

For my 70 lb dog, I give her the same remedy in a bit of milk if she has stones and her symptoms disappear within literally 5 minutes. She runs through my legs and appears to be having a seizure when she gets stones. We both got gallbladder problems a couple years after pesticide overuse inside our home. Every spring and fall we pass more stones but it gets easier each year.

The main underlying issue here was chemical poisoning causing organ damage. For this, we use sea kelp, cilantro, and magnesium drops altogether several times a week to continually detox. We mop-up with charcoal (1tsp with a few drops magnesium) once or twice a week, too.

So far we have survived. and thrived

I used to do castor oil packs (can get messy and time consuming) and make quart after quart of Chanca piedra tea. But this is all very time consuming and the chanca piedra tea is much more expensive to keep drinking than simply using less than a penny's worth of BHT and magnesium when attacks present.

Bear in mind that according to many systems of belief around health; and especially Ayurveda knowledge (4000+ year old school of medicine in India); every fall and spring the body goes through a natural but somewhat major detox. It's worse on those persons' bodies who have excessive toxins accumulated or do not care for their health actively. Gallstones appear to worsen during these times for individuals affected by them.
