Hello. For a few years now, I get palpitations on a fairly regular basis. THings that ”seem” to bring them on are situations that make me feel anxious, or when I am rushed, but also when I drink very cold Sprite or juice, as well as when I bendin over to pick something up, etc. I am female, 49, no family history of anyone dying a sudden cardiac death, parents still alive at age 70, and have had at least 6 EKGs, one recent 12-lead EKG in a hospital and they all say they are completely normal....I have these even though I do not ingest regular caffeine and they are very irritating--hopefu ...

Hi and thanks for your positive feedback. I think there are rules here that one is not supposed to ”advertise” for any certain product. There are quite a good number of suitable probiotics out there that might work----the one that has worked wonders for me is Dr Ohhira’s probiotic. This message might be stricken by the moderator.   [End]

Hello------I had written awhile back and it seemed my ideas were not very well recieved here.....realizing that this IS a forum for those who have CHOSEN to do a liver flush, I just wanted to send a quick note on my results. When I started trying to clean up my liver, because I was having CONSTANT gallbladder pain, biliary colic, and occasional nausea---that had been CONSTANT for over a week and I seriously thought I was going to have to go to the hospital ER. I had had ”trouble” for almost 3 years... I started doing every night castor oil packs with a heating pads--usually left them ...

Hi------Lots of information I have read for dealing with nausea that comes from liver and gallbladder congestion says to take ginger. However, when I went to the natural foods store, EVERY bottle of ginger I picked up said ”DO NOT TAKE IF YOU HAVE GALLSTONES”! I do know it is considered safe for even PREGNANT women. Does anyone know why it is so highly recommended for nausea but the bottles say do not take if you have gallstones?????? Three ultrasounds say I do not have gallstones, sludge or thickening yet I do have fairly frequent nausea, especially after eating some particular foods. ...

Someone gave me a small supply of the M****tech products last week--I am only taking their A*******e, Manna Cleanse and the A*******e AO---and I promise you after only TWO days, my biliary colic has totally stopped---and has not returned for 3 days now (I was having it 24/7!). On reading the ingredients, I was not totally convinced that it would do much for my gallbladder, and I read on the Internet where M****tech’s supplements are ”under fire” and that they have been involved in some law suits as to whether their products are totally safe-all I can say is that nothing else had stopped my ...

Hi---This is really interesting! Just wondering--does BROMELAIN come from pineapples? Wonder if that works? If one does not have a juicer and is on a rather tight budget, could canned pineapple produce the same results, I wonder?   [End]

I had been wondering about you and was about to even type here to ask anyone if they knew what had happened with you! Your case goes to show you that there are ABSOLUTELY situations that become life-threatening very quickly. I am glad you did not wait too long... Natural medicine is wonderful and the way God intended for us to treat our bodies, BUT you did the right thing, do not beat yourself up about this, it was the only option you had at that point! Thank God you had medical facilities available for help! I don’t prefer surgery or western medicine risks either, but I can guarante ...

There is a fruit supplement called MANGOSTEEN that is THOUSANDS OF TIMES MORE POTENT than the Goji berries! Google ”mangosteen”---the ORAC score of mangosteen is 350,000 and wolfberries are only 12,221!!! It is one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits on the Earth! Check it out!   [End]

To Telman---Yes, I had been fasting for 12 hours---and the size of my bile duct was ONLY 4.2 mm---you said after 12 hours of fasting it should be about 15 mm!!! This is a HUGE difference---could this mean there is a problem with my bile duct NOT EXPANDING-----??????   [End]

Hi----I had another ultrasound last week, ”showing no gallstones”, --sigh--but have GB symptoms. Anyway, the report showed that my bile duct is ”4.2 mm” in size----if that is normal size (don’t know what NORMAL SIZE is--anyone here know that info?)--and the scan ”showed” no stones, is that a pretty safe bet that NOTHING could get stuck coming out in a flush? I am still scared to do it, but may come around in awhile---I did read somewhere on here that someone passed a 15 MM stone!!!!!!!!! Could that be possible? How large would a bile duct have to be to let THAT out? Sorry for all the d ...

Hi---Please tell me WHERE you found info that spirulina could make ”some illnesses worse”---what illnesses---anything in regard to the gallbladder? Should someone with GB problems NOT take spirulina? What could happen? My sister, who is a total vegetarian, started taking CHLORELLA and took it for only 10 days, got deathly ill--vomiting, nausea, dizzziness and had to stop it. Thanks.   [End]

Dear friends-----Very true, the word ”rapture” is NOT in the Bible----the TRUTH is that there will be NO RAPTURE! The ”day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night”---no one will be ”snatched away quietly” and others left. The day that the Lord returns will be the day of FINAL JUDGEMENT. Many people base their ”belief” that a rapture is going to happen on the Bible verses that say one was taken and the other was left behind---this was referring to the DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE IN AD 70, as Jesus had foretold. Many people saw the false ”Left Behind” series which is not true. ”Be r ...

Forgot something---to Hanna-----Yes, GB symptoms DO come from the liver--therefore, taking MILK THISTLE DAILY WILL CLEANSE AND EVEN REJUVENATE THE DAMAGED LIVER! Milk thistle is also VERY WELL researched and has been used safely for a long time......it is a very potent liver cleanser---start today and maybe gallstones will never be a problem in the future--cleanse the liver and you cleanse the gallbladder as well.....   [End]

Dear Hanna-----Every time I post here, you seem to reply with a skeptical answer! Dear friend, there are ALWAYS more than one way to approach any problem in life! The things you mentioned you have tried are NOT the quality supplements I am on-----you must try taurine---the research there IS solid! Gallstones cannot exist in the continued presence of taurine! It may take a long time, but if it works for me and I am not in an acute life-threatening situation, I am content to do what I am doing now. That is not to say that it will work for YOU--but it may work for others here who are not ...

You are ABSOLETLY CORRECT!!! You MUST consume ”good fats” every day or get the gallbladder gets sluggish and stagnated and does not work correctly------just don’t eat TRANS-FATS---french fries, chips, cheezes, processed ”garbage” foods, fast foods-----eat olive oils and the Mediterranean diet-style-----in fact, LOF-FAT DIETS AND RAPID WEIGHT LOSS ARE A CAUSE OF GALLSTONES! Eat healthy!   [End]

Hi, thanks for the reply. In my research, even calcified gallstones CAN be gotten rid of with CONTINUED LONG-TERM intake of taurine and Vitamin C, of course assuming you have the time to do that and are not in repeated acute episodes that could be life-threatening. Do not be foolish with risks to your health, of course! Apparently gallstones cannot co-existent with constant intake of taurine. Malic acid also can dissolve them. Interesting, did you know that taurine is required to produce bile? Taking taurine improves bile flow and keeps it thin enough to PREVENT stones. Taurine also I ...

Thank you, will do! Actually some days I take MUCH more than 2000 mg Vit c, as you really cannot take too much Vit C---it is simply excreted in the urine if not needed by the body. Dr Linus Pauling felt that Vit C was THE cure for EVERYTHING, icnluding cancer. Studies have proven that high intake of Vit C AND Vit E can really help PREVENT gallstones.   [End]

HI----After having gallbladder problems for over 3 YEARS, I finally found something that has worked for me! I have been doing this for one month now and am down from ALL-DAY ATTACKS that continued for a week, to 1-2 episodes of five-minute back pain! The ”distended feeling under my right rib” is gone! It is worth a try, easier than these flushes------with no risk of stones getting stuck in ducts, vomiting excessively, possible visits to ER, drinking foul-tasting stuff, etc. Here is what I did to get rid of my pain! EVERY NIGHT, castor oil packs using castor oil with a heating pad, u ...

I want to do the parasite cleanse with Clarkia and then prepare for a flush with the GCG, Chinese bitters, Curcuma and Coptis. Is it best to do the parasite cleanse first, then do the flush prep after? Can Clarkia be taken while taking the other items? I guess I just don’t want to have to wait, but I’d rather do it the right way than rush. Anyone know more about this? I appreciate your help! Also, I suspect possible candida. I read that Clarkia can get rid of candida. Is this all I would need to take? Thanks for any help you can offer.   [End]

I was reading about olive oil processing methods and came across some information that suggests MOST olive oil is obtained from countries like Spain, Middle East, etc that still use the very dangerous chemical DDT! Therefore, the olive oil from these countries contains DDT and that CANNOT BE GOOD! Does anyone worry about this or am I getting totally paranoid here? Just wondering. Also, wondering how many YEARS have people been doing liver flushes? It could be that like some other procedures people do--like many years of enemas or laxative use--, there could be FUTURE harm from doi ...

Hi-----How much malic acid should one take during attacks, or even maintenance, for gallbladder problems? The one I have is 800 mg and the bottle says to take only ONE per day, but I have read that much more than that needs to be taken to be effective for GB attacks. I would appreciate any info on this, thanks...   [End]

Has anyone had any success doing this ”oil pulling” mentioned on the forum of the same name on CureZone? It sounds way more pleasant than liver flushes, Epsom salt, olive oil or whatever other awful stuff one is advised to ingest here! I think I might try it for my gallbladder problem, who knows it might work.   [End]

Hello. Two ultrasounds and a HIDA scan say I do not have gallstones, but I know that that is not always the truth. I have a relative who had THREE ”normal ultrasounds” saying she had no stones and that her GB looked ”normal”---she finally had a massive attack one night and had to have emergency surgery and her GB was so diseased, it was full of pus (empyema) and the doctor said it was ”rotten”! Sorry to be so graphic, but you just wonder how these things can happen!!!! It was do infected, she had to have a drain in there and spent 3 days in the hospital on massive IV antibiotics and wi ...

Hello. Thanks for your reply. I have NONE of the risk factors you describe for acalculous cholecystis, yet I have had two abdominal ultrasounds that show NO stones, NO thickening of GB wall, NO sludge, NO dilated bile ducts. GB ultrasounds are 90-95% accurate and the first line study for suspected GB problem. I had a HIDA scan also--completly normal by radiologist interpretation---78% clearance of the dye, nothing abnormal at yet. HOWEVER, I have daily pain/biliary colic in the GB/liver area, with a feeling of swelling in that area. Last week’s abdominal ultrasound showed NOTHING unu ...

Thanks for your input-----I have had two sets of liver function tests 6 months apart--ALL NORMAL. I take no supplements that could cause orange stools, don’t eat carrots much at all. Have NEVER had orange stools before 6 months ago! I read orange stools are NOT normal and most of the time have to do with bile and gallbladder problems. The taurine studies are well known as to the effects on gallstones. Also, NO AMERICAN today gets enough nutritional support from food alone! Our foods are so nutritionally devoid, grown in acidic fertilizers and pesticides, etc that is is impossible t ...

Hi---just a few things I have been wondering about. Someone here today mentioned that if you did ”back to back” flushes or did too many too soon, it could cause ”irritation/DAMAGE” to your liver??? Is there ANY potential DAMAGE that can be done to the liver by flushing? Seems to me drinking Epsom salts too often could be very corrosive and irritating and even possibly damaging to a person. Also, I have read that having bowel movements that are ORANGE is a ”sure sign” one has a gallbladder problem---I think they referred to it as ”clay colored stools”--like the color of a clay flowe ...

Hi everyone-----I am 49 yrs old and have ”put up with” what I assume to be my gallbladder for 3 years now. I had an attack when I was 46 (first time) and had a GB ultrasound and HIDA scan which were both normal. I have had attacks off and on for 3 years now. I have tried everything --but not flushes--I CANNOT DRINK OLIVE OIL---I get deathly ill and cannot quit vomiting if I even think about drinking oil. Three weeks ago, I had a very severe attack that lasted for a week! It was every day, all the time, biliary colic and pain in my GB area under my right rib---never let up for a week. M ...

My questions are: I keep having what I assume is biliary colic pain in my right back, directly through where I assume GB to be located---it used to be occasional, now is every day. 4 Advil to do not help this pain! It seems to usually come on about 2 hrs after eat ...
