They were mysterious, and all I remember is her being in
the hospital for a week having an operation for them.
Cholecystitis is the technical term for gallstones.
I'm amazed at the number of people who write to us, saying
that they have gallstones and are going to have their
gallbladder removed.
Just like that.
The attitude about the gallbladder has historically been
that it doesn't serve much of a function anyway, so go
ahead and take it out.
Wrong!
Contrary to what too many people believe, the gallbladder
is not an unnecessary organ that serves no purpose and that
causes digestive problems for no good reason.
The gallbladder is very important.
Here's a brief overview of this very necessary part of you:
Bile storage
=========
Bile is secreted by your liver and stored in the
gallbladder until it's needed in digestion of fats. When
fat is consumed, this signals the gallbladder to contract
and release bile into your small intestine to break down
the fat.
In addition to being a storage area for bile, the
gallbladder also makes the bile from the liver more
concentrated by removing water through its wall like a
sponge.
So if your gallbladder is removed, although bile can be
"rerouted" to flow into the intestine directly from the
liver, fat digestion is less efficient because the bile
isn't as concentrated.
Unnecessary, useless organ? I think not.
The mystery of gallstones revealed
========================
The most common reason for a cholecystectomy (removal of
the gallbladder) is gallstones.
Gallstones are the result of cholesterol build up, most
commonly from eating too much animal protein and not
getting enough alkaline foods.
(This is another way our bodies gently try to tell us how
to eat. We need to listen better.)
So, removal of your gallbladder is just the beginning of
digestive problems.
Life without a gallbladder
=====================
Once your gallbladder is gone, it's harder to digest fats.
This means excessive burping and gas when fats are eaten.
And if your eating habits haven't changed from what caused
the gallstones to begin with, you're opening yourself up
for a wide variety of health challenges including:
1. High blood cholesterol
2. Arthritis
3. Osteoporosis
4. Heart disease
5. High blood pressure (hypertension)
6. Cancer
7. Diabetes
8. Diverticulitis
9. Colitis
...and many more.
Unfortunately, many members of the standard medical
community either don't know or don't care about the
consequences of telling someone that their gallbladder
doesn't do anything.
And considering the billions of dollars that drugs and
surgeries bring in, it's much more attractive to just "cut
it out."
...To keep yourself out of harm's way...by keeping your
gallbladder.
The manual "How To End Stomach Pain Forever, Even If Your
MD Says, 'No Way!'" shows you how to eat meat or other
animal protein to minimize its harmful effects, and teaches
you the importance of a good acid/alkaline balance.
And "Foods That Create Acid, Foods That Take It Away"
spells out exactly which foods are acid forming and which
are alkaline, so there's no guesswork. This will help you
keep your gallbladder.
Eating correctly combined foods and getting more alkaline
foods into your diet will help keep your blood cholesterol
lower, and that will make for a healthier gallbladder (and
healthy other organs too!).
Remember, there are no mistakes of nature. Our bodies
were designed very carefully by our Creator and no part of
them is useless, especially your gallbladder, regardless of
what your surgeon might say to you.
Take care of your body by eating the right way, and you'll
get to keep all of your needed organs.

acids can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and
triglycerides. VitalMega-3 fish oil is loaded with EPA and
DHA--two key Omega-3 EFAs that can help you lower your
blood cholesterol and keep your gallbladder healthy.

Sherry:
I have used your Great Taste No Pain plan for my acid
reflux and have now been pain free for one week. I was so
surprised at the immediate results.
I thought I was waking up at night to empty my bladder
but I think now a lot of the time it was for my acid
indigestion. I have not slept this good in 5 or 6 years.
I had chemo in 1999 for breast cancer and I think it
damaged my esophagus. I never had indigestion before but
it has severely increased over the last 10 years.
