Is there a safe, natural method to get rid of gallstones?

Answer 1

Hi YoMama

Here are some ideas to resolve your issue.

Natural Cures

Most gallbladder surgeries can be easily avoided through nutritional and natural intervention, with emphasis on identification, avoidance, and treatment of food allergies.

Diet: Identify and avoid all foods to which you are allergic or sensitive, especially eggs, milk and dairy products, gluten, wheat and dairy products. Also reduce your saturated and overall fat intake, keeping it below 20 percent of the total foods you eat, and eliminate all processed and hydrogenated fats. But do not cut fat completely, as this can actually increase your chances of developing gallstones. Monounsaturated fats (olive oil, coconut oil) are the best fats to include in your diet.

Be sure to eat less, as well, since overeating places stress on the gallbladder. At the same time, be sure to eat breakfast, don`t skip meals, and eat a balanced and healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes and other vegetarian sources of protein. Increase your intake of dietary fiber to improve bowel movements, and avoid refined carbohydrates, which can cause gallstone formation. Overall, eat less animal foods, remove processed foods and move toward a whole foods vegetarian-oriented diet. If you are overweight, lose the weight, but slowly and sensibly.

Good foods to include in your diet are black cherries, pears, beets (raw and cooked), fresh steamed and water sautéed greens such as beet tops collards, kale, plenty of steamed broccoli and cauliflower, snack on seasonal fruits, eat plain organic yogurt, as well as more raw foods in general.

Gallbladder Flush: Flushing the gallbladder of stones is a common natural cure and practice of holistic physicians. It is quite easy.

For six days do the following: Eat a whole foods diet with no animal products and no processed, refined foods. Eliminate all flour products, eat whole grains such as quinoa and brown rice. Limit dairy products to organic plain yogurt. Drink plenty of raw, fresh apple juice, and eat applesauce and organic apples as both meals and snacks. Eat fresh leafy green salads, steamed vegetables, tofu, tempeh, and vegetable soups.

On the afternoon of the seventh day, have 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil mixed with 1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice. Drink all at once and skip your evening meal. Go to bed early (no later than 10 p.m.), and sleep with your right knee tucked up to your side. In the morning, you should eliminate the gallstones, which will appear greenish yellow. If you do not have a natural bowel movement in the morning, see the enema instructions in the Cleanse and Detoxification section and proceed with an enema. Six months to a year after your first gallbladder flush, you can repeat the process.

The protocol just described is a very gentle non-invasive gallbladder flush. See Cleansing and Detoxification for a more advanced detailed protocol.

Herbs: Combine the tinctures of wild yam, fringetree bark, milk thistle, and balmony in equal parts and take one teaspoon of this mixture three times a day. An infusion of chamomile or lemon balm can also be taken regularly throughout the day.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments.

Juice Therapy: The following juice combinations can help improve gallbladder health: carrot, beet, cucumber, radish, and fresh dandelion roots, with a clove of garlic; or grape, pear, grapefruit, and lemon.

Lifestyle: Choose non-toxic cleaning supplies and personal body care products.

Nutritional Supplementation: The following supplements can help relieve gallbladder symptoms: digestive enzymes with each meal, vitamin B-complex, vitamin C, choline, inositol, lipotrophic factors, alfalfa tablets, acidophilus, lecithin, and the amino acid, L-taurine. Peppermint oil sipped in water throughout the meal can also be helpful.

Topical Treatment: Castor oil packs placed over the gallbladder can speed relief of symptoms.

Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating gallstones and gallbladder disorders: Acupuncture, Detoxification Therapy, Environmental Medicine, Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Neural Therapy, and Osteopathy

Cause
Toxins overloading into your system from chemicals, additives, processed and junk foods, as well as excessive saturated animal fat in the diet, contribute to gallbladder problems. If the liver becomes overloaded with excess saturated fats, the gallbladder gets stressed and inflamed. This excess of saturated fats become cholesterol deposits and when enough have formed, they crystallize with the bile to form gallstones.

Women get gallstones four times as frequently as men, especially women over 40 years old who are fair-skinned, and overweight. Twenty percent of adults over 65 years of age get gallstones that create problems and pain. Over half a million surgeries are performed each year to remove gallbladders due to gallbladder disorders, the most common being gallstones. And this can be easily be avoided by cleansing the body of toxins.

Constipation, food allergies (especially to milk products and eggs), digestive disorders (especially caused by a deficiency of hydrochloric acid), intestinal diseases, an excessively low-fiber diet, dental disturbances, parasites, rapid weight loss, and stress can all cause or contribute to gall stones and other gallbladder disorders. For lasting relief of symptoms, all of these factors must be addressed if they are present.

Best of health to you

#1, you don't 'pass' gallstones, you pass kidney stones. The only place possible for a gallstone to pass would be the liver, and that just doesn't happen. #2, You should be consulting with your doctor first with a problem such as gallstones, as the management can be complicated. Sometimes medication is used to help dissolve them or break them up. Most of the time though gallstones are a sign of underlying disease, such as obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol. The best way to treat them is to prevent further ones from growing by managing whatever health problems you have currently responsibly. However, quite commonly, they obstruct the bile duct coming out of the gall bladder, causing intense abdominal pain with very little relief. At this point, surgery is usually the best option, requiring a cholecystectomy (removal of the gall bladder). This is used for people having recurrent serious pain due to stone, or frequently recurring stones. Please, don't be irresponsible and at least talk to your doctor about an effective treatment BEFORE you decide to go and self-medicate with any other kind of regimen.

Answer 3

Yes there is. You need to get the help of a naturopathic doctor or well trained herbalist. Not just someone in a health food store. You will do a 40 day cleanse of the colon, liver and gall bladder. Then you rebuild your systems with supplements. You will pass the stones and without pain. For any discomfort, rub peppermint oil on the gall bladder area. This helps right away but it will not help you pass the stones. You need to do the full cleanse.

You may want to consider some of the gall bladder cleanses listed before my answer but I would strongly suggest that you do it with an herbalist or ND's assistance. The colon cleanses are a better way to go as you will also get rid of parasites that could be blocking the duct from your gall bladder to the colon. It just is worth doing it right and the other health benefits are worth it too as I found out. No more allergies, asthma, eczema (which was from my head to my toes - severe), thyroid and food absorption problems as well.

Answer 4

Get Rid of Gallstones in as Little

Answer 5

for about a week drink lots of apple juice( it contains malic acid which softens the stones) the day of eat no fat or meat (it builds pressure in the gall bladder) late in the day drink fresh grapefruit juice and epson salts and hour later repeat. Right before bed drink a half cup olive oil and a half cup lemon juice and go to bed. Sleep on your left side with your left leg bent up ( more pressure on the gallbladder) and in the morning you will be spending lots of time in the bathroom so plan accordingly. You will probably see lots of greenish stones. Sometimes you don't see any the first time so repeat in 6 months. This is good to do even if your gallbladder has been removed, because it will also cleanse your liver. A sluggish liver doesn't break down fats.

Answer 6

Go to: www.curezone.com there are several liver/gall bladder cleanses. It is a very educational site. I like the one by Dr. Hulda Clark.

I had a gall bladder attack in 2003. It became so painful that I could not move until it passed. The pains increased in severity. Using Dr. Clark's program, hundreds of gall stones rolled out. They float in the toilet so one can see them. I have used Dr. Clark's cleanses at least 12 or more times since then. I have never had another gall bladder attack.

Dr. Clark's program starts out with:
1. a parasite cleanse
2. a kidney/bladder cleanse
3. the liver gall bladder cleanse.

It is through and works very well. The cyst on my liver disappeared. The liver cleanses also and gets rid of lots of flack.

The cure zone web site is a treasure of information regarding this topic and many others.

Dr. Hulda Clark wrote the book: The Cure For All Diseases.

Answer 7

i did this, if you want to try at your own risk. Buy one small pineapple (hawaians work best), and cut it up, put it in the blender, add 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil to it and blend. Drink it up. It will have a laxative effect, but it will also help you pass gallstones, if they are SMALL, ok?

Answer 8

The natural way is to let them pass. That is the only time I have ever seen my father cry.

Don't be foolish, there is a time for medical intervention and this would be it, unless you don't mind PAIN.

Good luck with whatever you choose.

Answer 9
