My first gallbladder attack came on abruptly in my early twenties. I had just started school at San Diego State University. I was running to class, dodging gi-normous sheets of rain (this was in the late 90s during the infamous El Niño storms). Out of nowhere, a flood of nausea welled up from my solar plexus and I found myself doubled over. The pain was so sharp and sudden that it practically knocked the wind out of me. My boyfriend just stared at me wide-eyed and panic-stricken. After about 5 minutes, I recovered enough to make it to class, but afterward I was totally freaked out, because... I mean, what the heck WAS that? The bouts of pain and nausea continued over the next week, and by then I was seriously tripping. All I could think was that 1. something was really, really wrong...like on an internal-organ-level, which was not something I'd ever imagined or had to deal with before, and 2. I didn't have health insurance. So, I did the only thing I could think of at the time that my starving-student-budget would allow: I went to an urgent care center. The doctor there looked me over in hurried-urgent-care-doctor fashion and asked me 20 (or more) questions. He had the nurse give me a cup of what he called a "G.I. cocktail" which was some gooey white stuff that seemed to sort of numb my insides in a way that felt as weird as it tasted. Then he told me that, from what I'd just described, although he couldn't properly diagnose it without an ultrasound, he guessed that I had gallstones. He said that once you have them, the only way to get rid of them is by having your gallbladder surgically removed. He gave me prescriptions for an ultrasound and some Vicodin, neither of which I got filled because I couldn't afford to. As soon as I got home, I started researching my condition on the internet. Surprisingly, I discovered that there were alternative perspectives of the disease ("I have a disease?"), its origins and how to treat it. It was pretty fascinating stuff, actually. My looming despair began to lighten to cautious optimism. Thus was my first foray into the world of alternative/holistic medicine and philosophy, where I still live to this day. One remedy I discovered online at the time was Hulda Clark's olive oil/lemon gallbladder cleanse. I decided to go for it. I had no insurance and no money for conventional medical treatment, so why the ~hail~ not (sorry for the obscure El Niño joke :). I followed the cleanse instructions as precisely as I could. I downed my olive oil/orange juice mixture and went straight to bed (per the instructions), overwhelmed by the competing emotions I was feeling all at once: *** Scared *** "What if this makes things worse and I end up in the emergency room?" *** Skeptical *** "It's probably a bunch of BS. Who am I to question the medical establishment's prognosis of a serious medical condition by attempting to cure it with some back alley remedy that uses $8 worth of items you can buy at a corner store." *** Excited/Hopeful *** "What if it works? I know it's gross, but I kinda can't wait to see what comes out." Fast-forward to the following morning: O . M . G. I could hardly believe it. That morning, nature called me out of bed before the sun came up, and I was stunned to see that I had just passed hundreds, I'm talking HUNDREDS of stones... and they were all BLACK. It was one of the grossest things I'd ever encountered. And the coolest. Though the quantity decreased with each round, I continued to pass more stones throughout the morning that averaged about the size of a pea. What a relief it was to know the this cr@p was no longer IN my body. It took a good deal of effort to refrain from broadcasting my experience to everyone I knew, as if they just couldn't wait to hear about the contents of my toilet. My perspective of the Western Medical establishment was permanently altered that day. Basically, this inexpensive grocery store remedy had done what the urgent care doctor had said was not possible. I do accept that Western Medicine is necessary in some situations, but I generally find it unnecessarily invasive, as well as inadequate in its ability to treat root causes and address the whole person. As a result of my first experience with this liver cleanse home remedy, in addition to the pain and nausea subsiding, my skin cleared up and I began to lose some of the weight I had gained over the previous year. Also, during the several months following I was able to work through a LOT of emotional baggage that I had been mired in for years. From a Holistic point of view this is a perfectly reasonable and complementary side-effect of such a release. MY LIVER CLEANSE, circa 1997: * fruit and apple juice for breakfast * baked potato w/ a little salt only for lunch * no water or food after 2pm * that afternoon, prepared solution of 3 Tbs Epsom salt & 3 cups water, stored in a container for later use * 6pm - drank 3/4 cup of the Epsom salt water and immediately thought, "OMG...this stuff is actually considered fit for human consumption?" * 8pm - drank 3/4 cup more of epsom salt water, "Yecht!" * 10pm - juiced 3 medium sized oranges & combined with 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil. Took it to my bedside in a plastic lidded container. Shook it several times and then drank it fairly quickly, as I expected it to be disgusting. Actually, it wasn't so bad... the Epsom salt was way worse! * proceeded to lie completely still face up on my bed for 30 minutes and then somehow allowed myself to drift off to sleep * the instructions say to take another 3/4 cup dose of Epsom salt when you wake up the next morning, but NOT before 6am, then take the remainder 2 hours later. That morning I woke up before 6am and started passing stones right away. A little later, I tried to take another dose of Epsom salt water, but I only ended up drinking about 1/2 of it until I convinced myself that the cleanse was already working and, therefore, that was a good enough excuse to avoid drinking the rest of that nasty concoction. I should mention, however, that in subsequent cleanses, I have followed the instructions more thoroughly, and the results are worth enduring the taste in the end. The instructions I've seen for this same cleanse have been slightly modified since then, and these days can be found @ http://curezone.com/cleanse/liver/huldas_recipe.asp I've tried variations of the cleanse with varying degrees of success. In conclusion, YEA for me.

Absolutely. Follow the protocol and you will get relief and be stronger afterwards. I had to go to the ER at 4AM several months ago because of a gallstone attack. Dr. recommended surgery. I tried this instead and DANG if it didn't flush out over 400 stones and MAN I feel better. No more food allergies, breathing better no more reflux. It's a blessing =)! Used the following protocol: *Over 4 days, Consumed 1 gallon of organic, cold pressed Apple Juice (in a glass bottle). *Ate 1 organic apple each day of the cleanse, between breakfast and lunch *Day of cleanse (5th day) --- Fresh, organic fruit for breakfast (Watermelon, Figs, Kiwi, Papaya OR grapefruit.. Choose ONE, but eat as much as you want. *Vegetable soup for lunch with beets, carrots, garlic, onion, turmeric, pinch of sea salt and oregano (liver and gallbladder supporting vegetables) *3 PM -- 6-8 ounces of walnuts *5PM & 7PM -- Epsom salt -- one and a half level tablespoons of Epsom salt in 8 ounces of warm, purified water. *Between 9-10PM -- Olive Oil & Juice -- Drink ¾ cup (6 ounces) of organic cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. A small amount (2 tablespoons) of freshly squeezed orange, grapefruit, or lemon juice may be added to improve the taste (optional). Immediately after drinking the oil, go to bed and lie on your right side with your knees drawn up to your stomach for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, you can stretch out and go to sleep. If you experience cramping, walk around for ten minutes or so and then go back to bed. You may also feel nauseated during the night. This is due to the release of stored toxins from the gallbladder and liver. This is normal and a sign the Liver Gallbladder Cleanse is working. Works like a blessing =)!!

The pains are unbearable and i have just dealt with them for almost 2 years now. I have seen a doctor they did a MRI and that is how they found the stones in my bile duct. they want to go in and take them out by putting a tube down my throat and making a cut in my bile duct, but i am weary of having this procedure done. My question is, is their a way of getting them out without the surgeries and will it be safe? The doctors said they are very close to my pancreas and it can cause pancreatitis and liver disease if i keep putting off having them removed, i am just done with dealing with this pain i am only 29 years old and the pains feel like im giving birth.The pains are now coming more often and lasting longer than they have before, and advice would be greatly appreciated.

I also bought a bunch of organic cherry tomatoes I was craving. I ate it wondering if I ate too much.. Then took a hot bath, dressed up really warm, sweating everywhere, put a magnet on my side, went to bed and woke up pain-free. Completely.

However, we always end this fast with Hulda Clark's liver flush using epsom salt, olive oil and lemon juice. After several years, we do not get stones, just a little gravel. I presume if we had kidney stones, they too would pass. Lots of apple juice is a player in cleaning up your liver and kidneys. At church this morning, it was announced that an older lady friend had been taken to a Knoxville hospital last night and sent home with the prognosis of kidney stones. I gave her son in law Earth Clinic's web site, but am not optomestic that she will use the lemon juice and olive oil cure. It's too cheap and simple. I could expound for hours on how this site had helped us . Especially in addressing Demodex mites and sinus congestion. That story also repulses most folks.

To the person who might be breaking up gall stones in the liver and being in a lot of pain passing those stones, it is a good thing to pass those stones. I passed a lot of them at once, and immediately my energy level increased. Now I understand what is meant by a sluggish liver. But I passed all those stones, hundreds of them in one evening, by using a liver cleanse. There are many of them described on the internet. I found one that used lemon juice, olive oil, grapefruit juice and Epsom salt. I took this at night, woke up in the morning and passed all those stones painlessly, and lost about 3" on my waist overnight. I know that because I had to tighten my belt. The Epsom salt (food-grade) apparently relaxes the muscles enough to open the ducts to allow the stones to pass out easily. I was amazed at their size...

Take a tablespoon of olive oil every two and a half hours. In between take very hot milk slowly by tablespoon. According to Mazdaznan, this should dissolve gallstones. General information: during this time eat less than usual and drink plenty. I am not sure if it works, as I just started to try this remedy. Nevertheless after a really bad and painfull gallbladder attack, I tried this recipe the following day and the pain in my right shoulder subsided very quickly.

Four months ago he had severe gallstone pain (attack?) and later was diagnosed for pancreatitis also, hospitalised, and after stabilising, an ERCP performed on him. Now the doctors want to remove his gall bladder. I read about the Liver cleanse and would like him to try it. What stops me is the Epsom salts - they are magnesium sulphate. Four tablespoon Epsom would be 40gm or nearabouts (at-least 10gm of magnesium) while our daily recommended magnesium is about 250-400 milligram.

I have really gotten into herbal remedies and so I started look for an alternative. I found Dr. Clark's book, THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES and it was a Godsend. Dr. Clark says the stones come from the liver and settle in the gallbladder. Her book gives 4 major cleanses that she says are the best things you can do for your body. The 3d one is the liver cleanse which starts with the gallbladder. She says to do the parasite and kidney cleanse first to keep it from affecting the liver cleanse. Dr Clark says the liver manufactures bile which we need to properly digest our food and acts as a filter to remove toxins from our body. She says when the gallbladder is full, so is the liver. Dr. Clark recommends doing the liver cleanse every two weeks for up to a year to get all the stones out. On the third cleanse I realized every two weeks was too much for me so (I'm 58) I am now cleansing once a month. But, I am getting excellent results! With every cleanse (I've done 7 so far) I'm passing over 100 stones about the size of a BB on average and hundreds more tiny stones about the size of grains of sand AND the bile is starting to flow again, digesting my food much better! I have pics I've taken of the gallstones if anyone wants me to email them. I am also keeping a diary of my cleanses too. I go to an herb store for the ingredients for the cleanses.

Do not eat or drink anything for 30 or so minutes and let this sit in your gallbladder. This will help dissolve stones. Do this for a year. Also take about 4 digestive enzymes with each meal. Eat pinnapple with meals or papaya which also have digestive enzymes in them and stay away from fat, sugar, and fried foods. It is hard to change your diet, but it will help tremendously. Eat bananas, and long cooking oatmeal. This helps. Some can't eat the oatmeal. Whatever works for you. Eat more vegatables, baked potatoes, greenbeans, tomatos, carrots,cucumbers, salad, fiber filled fruit, chicken and fish (nothing fried), but especially beets. Ginger is good for digestion. Avacados, coconut, garlic, grapes, plenty of water is good also. No beans, eggs, milk, pork, grapefruit or oranges, icecream, choclate, alcohol, cofffee.If you eat something and your stomach starts bubbling, you know that is something you can't eat. Drink the lemon water religously and you will get relief. Keep drinking it for a year. There are meds doctors can give to dissolve stones, they don't tell you that. The lemon water will do it. Try this: take a small rock the size of a quarter, and as thick as you finger and place it in a small glass in the kitchen window and cover it with lemon juice or concentrate you can get in the plastic lemons in the veggie section of the grocer. Cover the rock every day for about 3 months and you will dissolve that rock....Drink lemon water on an empty stomach upon waking and eat or drink nothing for about 30 min. Do this for a year. Drink the same just before going to bed the first week to two weeks of your attack. You will find that a gallbladder attach lasts about 3 to 5 days, but the lemon juice will start to dissolve the stones and the sludge. Take red yeast rice to get your cholesterol down which is the culprit here. Lemon water, red yeast rice and a change in your diet ot remove fat and you will see impovement in the next 3 weeks or so. Include exercise by even just walking, to lower your bad cholesterol also. You can live to eat or eat to live. Your choice. Hope this helps someone.

I was given the following: Hydrangea (Kidney Cleanse) 1000mg 3 times a day after meals. Golden Seal (Enhances Seasonal Resistance) 800mg 3 Times a day after meals. Marshmallow (Soothing Internal Support) 800mg 3 times a day after meals. Liver-Reg (Strengthens liver) (Contains the following: Milk thistle seeds; Dandelion Root; Burdock Root; Metionine) 800mg 3 times a day after meals. Tea (Contains: Proprietary Blend; Boldo Leaves; Mint Marigold) 1 cup of tea in the morning and 1 at night after meals. Cascara Sagrada (Supports Healthy Bowel Function) 400mg 3 times a day after meals. The nutritionist told me to take on the first night 3 teaspoons of olive oil at bedtime. Then on the following morning a strong dosis of Castor Oil. Then throught the day eat fruits or fruit juice and vegetables. Water. Then solid meal at night only. He told me that by doing this I would flush out 50% of my gallstones. But I told him that I was afraid of doing this because I tend to feel very weak when I use anything that works like a laxative and since I suffer anxiety and panic attacks, don\'t want to risk it. So he said that it was optional but that taking the herbal pills will get rid of the stones only at a slower rate. So Day 1 I took the pills like he told me. Felt okay. Day 2 same thing but on Day 2 after drinking the tea after dinner, I starting feeling discomfort and for the first time had a soft bowel movement. I panicked and started shaking like crazy. So on the next morning I was afraid to take the pills so I called the clinic. The lady told me that my body was not used to herbal pills and I just had to lower the dosage until my body got used to it. I totally stopped taking the Cascara Sagrada because I was afraid. I lowered the dosage but I am only taking half a dosage once a day of the rest of the pills. My main problem is that I suffer indigestion. Mostly gas and discomfort. I only had pain on my right upper abdomen once and it lasted all day but wasn\'t severe pain, only uncomfortable and lasted 1 whole day and half a day after that. That\'s what made me research gallstones and read that gallstones cause my symptoms of indigestion I\'ve been suffering for 10 years now. I went to the DR. sent me for an ultra sound and yes, my gallbladder has many stones. Unable to tell me the sizes just that I have numerous stones. I am so afraid of surgery and since I know of people who suffer diahrrea for life after surgery, I really don\'t want to get surgery. I guess I want a second opinion as to if it\'s okay to take all the herbal supplements I was given. My husband made me wonder because he read on the bottles that The products don\'t intend to cure, treat, or prevent any disease. He claims that the company doesn\'t back up their product. I just want to make sure that it is safe to take those supplements. I have been drinking water for the first time but I panic when I feel weak. I am also wondering if I have something more severe since just by tasting fatty or sugary foods I feel sick and my stomachs starts growling. My mother claims I am just afraid and cause all the symptoms. In the meantime, I\'ve lost 8 pounds in this past month because I sometimes can\'t eat anything and when I do, it\'s healty non fatty foods like Turkey and Chicken breast. Any information I can obtain will be appreciated.

In the last week, I discovered that I have Gall stones and I have had an attack everyday for the last seven days. I tried taking a very hot shower and then a cold shower to shock my system, while the pain subsided nothing seemed to work. I found this site and I happened to have Apple Cider Vinegar handy along with Apple Juice. After I found this site and read the comments others posted, I tried the vinegar with Apple Juice. It has been twenty minutes and the pain is diminishing. I am very happy to land on a temporary relief for the pain. Thank you!" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/gallstones.html&name=LECITHANMILKTHISTLE_7254 /CURES/gallstones2.rss22 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST [YEA] Mike from Baltimore, Maryland writes: "Ted has a lot of good insights and makes for a very interesting read, but he forgot one important thing regarding Lecithin. Dandelion root contains more Lecithin than even soy products and also acts as a mild diuretic, but unlike other diuretics, it does not deplete the body of potassium due to the high amount of it found in the plant. Dandelion also contains loads of trace elements and should go a long way in dissolving gallstones as well as improving and increasing bile flow through the gallbladder. Milk Thistle is also very good for this although to my knowledge, does not contain Lecithin. It reduces cholesterol in bile as well as other beneficial effects on liver/gallbladder health though. About all this \"flush\" business that is so obviously fake that it bears mentioning. To say that there are over 2000 stones in your liver and gallbladder is ridiculous considering the size of these organs and appears even more ridiculous when people say this continues to happen over years of doing these flushes. What people should be doing is changing their diets and taking supplements to deal with these things. It\'s amazing to me that everyone that does this flush seems to report hundreds and thousands of \"stones\" even though an ultrasound may only show one or two small ones. Whether these flushes actually work or not is debateable since people seem to want to exaggerate the effectiveness. If they worked, there would be nothing to exaggerate and if they really do work, it\'s a tragedy that those pushing it on other people have to make things up to make it look better than it is when there is no need. It can\'t possibly be good for someone long term to continue to do this to their bodies. To anyone wanting to dissolve and/or prevent gallstones, cut back a little on the fatty stuff you eat and do some research on supplements. Dandelion Root, Magnesium, Milk Thistle and even a daily multivitamin is a good place to start. Make a habit of having a glass or two of apple juice a day as the Pectin in apples and apple juice will soften the stones, exercise a little and watch what you eat to a point. If you really want to change, you can do it. If you\'re looking for an easy way out where you can have your cake and eat it too, you\'ll fail everytime. Supplements alone won\'t fix this problem and neither will 100 flushes. You have to make lifestyle changes as well and you have to stick with them. However, things like constantly checking your pH and constantly monitoring pH of water you drink and all this stuff seems to be a pretty paranoid and stressful kind of life, constantly worrying and all. I don\'t think I\'d ever go that far and eating enough fruits and vegetables should keep you balanced just fine.

Whilst i got stones passing the 1 stone in my Gallbladder At first Ultra Sound 3 years ago was 2.1 cm did not pass. I had several follow Ultra Sounds during the 3 year period usually within days of a flush. Every time the US showed the stone still present in my gall bladder. After 3 years of persisting with the Pain and the unpleasentness of the flushings. I decided I would undergo a Lap Choly. I strongly believed the pain i was suffering was not my Gall bladder but after 7 doctors and 3 specialists the medical boards refused to look for another cause to my pain until my Gall bladder was removed. The day of the surgery came and instead of a Lap Choly i ended up having a open Choly to remove the Gall bladder as it was inflamed by this point in time. I requested to keep the gallbladder intact after the surgery the Surgeons agreed to this (for Religious purposes (wicca)). And preserved the GB in formalin solution. It is indeed inflamed and is larger than a snooker ball. I tried a total of 25 flushes over the 3 year period and non of the flushes got rid of the Stone. In the End the gall bladder had to come out. However i was right about one thing. The GB was not the cause of my pain as i had same pain symptoms 1 week after the surgery. (Pain in the upper Left Abdomen, with bloating) Most likely severe IBS. "
