Gallbladder Disorder: Surgery Or Alternative Treatment? Posted: 01-11-06 17:20pm
On 6 january 2006, I was diagnosed with
gallbladder distorder as the ultrasound
revealed 3 or 4 gallstones. Surgical
removal was recommended. I have agreed
to proceed, but am having second
thoughts.
A "google" search turned up a site called
"sensiblehealth.Com" in which an
alternative approach of several steps
using chinese traditional medical
techniques and specifically "gold coin
grass" in tincture form plus intestinal
cleansing and gallbladder flush.
Right now the pain is in the 1, 2, or 3
level whereas the initial attack on 30
december 2005 was at 8 or 9 and resulted
in an emergency room visit to determine if
my heart was at fault.
The reason I am thinking twice about
surgery is that I had had another medical
condition diagnosed and the first surgeon
recommend a surgical approach - a long
standing theraphy, but with potential
adverse impacts. I went for a second
opinion and the second surgeon recommended
a "conservative" approach based on diet
and other home-based remedies. I am
reasonably happy now and have advoided the
possible risks that the surgical approach
may have posed. In other words, I am
not adverse to trying alternative
approaches if these provide a path to
avoid surgery.
I am curious to the experiences of others
with gallbladder disorder and whether or
not anyone has tried the protocol
recommended in "sensiblehealth.Com" and
what the outcome was?
My surgery is scheduled for next week so I
have a little time and the pain is
manageable. Any response would be
greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have decided to go the alternate
route. I did not have stones, but I did
have a low ejection fraction of 17% .
I've been told gallbladders are not
performing well if they register below
35%. Is this nuts or what??? I guess
this is what I get for eating all the
cheese, nuts, burgers... If only I had
taken better care of myself... Well, I
have treated my symptoms w/ a variety of
things.
This is what I take:
choline ( for function) 350mg a day
i juice beets( thin out bile)
take magnesium supplement to calm my
system
there is no one thing you can do to clear
it up. Some claim that the gallbladder
flush is the answer. If you only have a
few stones and they are relitively small,
then by all means: flush
