REMOVAL OF GALLSTONE WITHOUT OPERATION.

The first step of any alternative therapy for cancer is to detoxify the body of accumulated toxins. In the course of searching for low cost simple home therapies for treatment of cancer, I have come across the ‘Tony Issac Oleander Protocol’ which comprise of a ‘Five Days Liver Cleanse’ at the beginning of the therapy. Though the regimen is given mainly for detoxification of the liver before applying Oleander Protocol, from the testimonials of the patients applying this regimen it has been observed that the regimen removes gallstones without operation. While this regimen is also given in detoxification section of this website, considering public health importance, it is reproduced here as a procedure for removal of Gallstone without costly & risky operation. Though it cannot be guaranteed, it is worth trying before going for actual removal of the gallbladder by operation which is a vital organ for digestion of food. It may be noted that the procedure has been already applied to a number of cancer patients for the purpose of detoxification in Assam and it is found safe without any complications so far.
After a ‘Five days regimen’ one should check-up with Ultra- sound about progress of the procedure and for removal of any left out stones the procedure should be repeated after a gap of one month.
Five days procedure for Gallbladder Stone removal without operation.
Ingredients required for the complete procedure:
Apple 3 kgs. : buy from local fruit vendor.
Epsom Salt( Magnesium Sulphate ), 50grams : buy from local pharmacy,
Edible Olive Oil, 100 ml. : buy from local grocery shop
Grapefruit (Not grapes) : buy from local fruit vendor as reqd.
( or Robab Tenga/Orange/Mousambi)
    • It is best to have day 4 on a Saturday or at a time when you are staying at home.
    • Day 1: Drink 1 liter of apple juice during the day. Eat as normal otherwise.
    • Day 2: Drink another liter of apple juice. Eat normally other foods
    • Day 3: Drink a 3rd liter of apple juice. Eat normally
    • Day 4: Do not take any solid food after lunch.
    • 6pm – (There should be 6 hours gap between lunch & taking Epsom salt) Take one level TABLEspoon( 1 ½ TEAspoon) of Epsom salt in a glass of water.
    • 8pm – Take another level TABLEspoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water. You may find that you already have to take a trip to the toilet before the 8pm Epsom salt.( 1 TABLEspoon = 3 TEAspoons)
    • 10pm – Mix one half glass(100ml) of olive oil and three quarter glass of freshly squeezed grape fruit juice by shaking it very well in a jar with a lid so that it mixes well and immediately get into bed after drinking the mixture. (one should lie on the right side with the right knee drawn up toward the chin for 30 minutes before going to sleep. This encourages the oil to drain from the stomach, helping contents of the gall bladder and/or liver to move into the small intestine.)You will probably make more than one trip to the toilet during the night as well as during the next day.
    • Day 5:
    • 6am: Take another level TABLEspoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water
    • 8am: Take one final level TABLEspoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water.
    • You will find that many gallstones from the liver will be passed and one will notice them in the toilet. They will vary in size from about pin head size to 10mm. Gallstones in the liver are a major cause of many health problems.
After 6th day of the procedure take an ultra-sound to find out how many gallstones have actually been removed. The above procedure can be repeated every month until one finds that for two months in succession no more gallstones are passed.
Possible ‘dangers’( Note that the word dangers is within inverted comas).
Before I pass on this method to remove gallstones, I should point out that some doctors have warned of its “dangers”. They say that, if the gallstones are too big, they might end up being stuck in the gall bladder ducts and this could be dangerous. In theory, this might happen. So if you are afraid, don’t do it.
When you embark on natural remedies, whether to remove gallstones or for other purposes, you need to take responsibility for your own health and I shall not be held liable for any harm or danger that you might experience. At the same time, when you embark on natural cures, it helps also to understand the reasons behind some of the procedures.
In this case, part of the method to remove gallstones naturally involves drinking plenty of apple juice for three days. If the largest size of gallstone is more than 10 mm take apple juice for a longer period, say one week. It is believed that some substance in the apple juice, probably malic acid, helps softens the gallstones so that the risks of them being stuck in the gall bladder ducts are minimised. In any case, if you lack the confidence, don’t do it.
Just be aware also that surgery and other medical procedures to remove gallstones un-naturally also come with their own set of risks. You decide which risks you wish to take.
However, if the largest gallstone measures 10mm or less, apparently there is no risk in this method.
The above procedure also detoxify your liver of years of accumulated toxins due to taking oil & spices which would reduce load on your liver & improve its functioning for a good health. Therefore, the procedure may be adopted by anybody once in a year. I have done it myself once during September,11.

Proven Method To Remove Gallstones Naturally Without Surgery

Did you know that one in ten people suffer with gallstones? I am the one in ten. Did you know that you can choose to save your gallbladder? In this post I will share with you my proven method to Remove Gallstones Naturally and avoid gallbladder removal surgery. I was diagnosed with gallstones in 2004. I had my first gallbladder attack when I was 7 months pregnant and I was scared. The pain was worse than child birth and I did not know what was happening to me. I was on vacation on a tropical island and I thought I had food poisoning. So did the doctor!!! I was treated for that!
Months after having my son I had another attack and arrived in the emergency department buckled over in pain and this time the doctor suspected gallstones and an ultrasound confirmed that. Multiple Gallstones!! My doctor said to me, “I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is, you are going to get a few months rest. The bad news is, you are going to have surgery to remove your gallbladder.” Well he was wrong about that comment.
You see, I had done my research and learned from the internet that there was other alternatives. I will share with you the method I chose to use to Remove My Gallstones Naturally and how it ultimately saved my gallbladder.
Now I have to put a disclaimer here. I am not a doctor and I am not in any way recommending that people do this. This is a choice I made and it is a choice you have to make for yourself. I will warn you that your doctor will probably not recommend it unless your doctor is a naturopath. Its not for everyone, but ultimately I have removed over 2000 gallstones from my gallbladder over the past 6 years and I have not had a gallbladder attack in four years.
The ingredients of this flush are grapefruits, olive oil and epsom salts. Nothing that is harmful. I have never felt any pain or discomfort when doing this flush. Here is the method I used to Remove Gallstones Naturally.
Liver and Gallbladder Flush
In the morning add 30ml (3 TBL) Epsom Salt to 750 ml (24 oz) of freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice. Make sure the epsom salts are the edible kind used as a laxative not the epsom salts you put in your bath. Mix well and refrigerate for later.
Eat only lite meals with absolutely no fat until 3pm. This allows your gallbladder to build up pressure.
Do not eat after 3pm until the next morning but drink plenty of water.
At 7pm drink 6 oz (¾ cup) of the epsom salt drink. This will start to liquify what is in your bowels and dilate your gallbladder and gallbladder ducts. Don’t sip it, just gulp it all down.
At 9pm drink another 6 oz (¾ cup) of the epsom salt mixture.
Prepare for bed just before 11pm. You may have a loose bowel movement before bed caused by the epsom salts mixture but don’t worry if you do not. Everybody is different.
At 11pm mix 125ml (4oz) of cold pressed olive oil with 180ml (6oz) of freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice. Do not use concentrated grapefruit juice, it must be freshly squeezed. I find the better the quality of olive oil, the better it tastes. You can add 25 drops of Black Walnut Extra Strength Tincture to help kill any remaining parasites after stones are flushed. I don’t usually do this because I have done parasite cleanses. It’s optional and not necessary for the flush to work but it is recommended.
Shake the mixture thoroughly. Drink the mixture within minutes. I find gulping it all down at once is best because then you only get the yucky, oily taste once. I find taking 1/2 a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey right after helps with taking the taste away.
Lie down in your bed immediately on your back with your head slightly up on your pillow. Some may experience nausea after consuming the drink, I have not. Should you feel nauseated prepare a few drops of mint oil or freshly grated ginger in some water and have it ready by your bed. Try to fall asleep for the night if you can but if you cannot, don’t get up from your bed for at least 2 hours otherwise the flush may not be successful. While you are laying there, imagine your gallbladder receiving the large amount of olive oil causing a sudden surge expelling out the build up of bile, and hopefully gallstones, into your intestines. You will feel nothing other than maybe some rumbling in your abdomen.
Upon rising at 6am or 7am, drink immediately the third 6oz (3/4cup) epsom salt mixture. Go back to bed and rest for about 1-2 hours and then get up and take the last of the epsom salt drink. You should start having liquid bowel movements in the morning. Any translucent green, black or brown balls (various sizes) floating on top the water are gallstones. They float because they are balls of cholesterol. They say to count them (roughly) so you have an idea how many you have flushed. You may see 200 or you may see just 20.
To get back to eating, start by eating lightly such as fruit or fruit juices for morning, salad or steamed veggies for lunch and by supper you can eat normally. That is it!
If you decide to try this method, I recommend that you continue to do this flush at least once ever month for a while as the stones will not all come out the first time. Once you see that you are getting only a few out then I would just do a flush once every 6 months just to maintain.
I will also like to say that if you have been diagnosed with gallstones and are awaiting surgery or not sure what you are going to do, please beware of symptoms such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), fever, clay-colored stools, tea- or coffee-colored urine, and persistent pain. This can be a sign of a blockage and is life threatening so please seek medical attentions immediately if this occurs.
Well there is my proven method to Remove Gallstones Naturally. If you decide that you would like to try this method I hope that it helps you avoid surgery like it did me.
Another tip that seems to stop a gallbladder attack if you feel one coming on is ROOTBEER. Someone told me this so I tried it and it worked everytime for me. Its weird but it works!
I welcome any questions or comments on other methods that have helped to Remove Gallstones Naturally or if you try this method and it works for you I would love to hear your story.
If you found this helpful please pass it on to your friends.

Gallstones - Symptoms - Treatments - Prevention Women Face Significantly Greater Risk for Gallstones

Gallstones are the most common and costly digestive disease in the United States, causing more than 800,000 hospitalizations annually at estimated cost of over five billion dollars. More than 20 million Americans have gallstones and approximately one million new cases are diagnosed each year. Women are twice as likely as men to develop gallstones; the higher prevalence of gallstones in women is thought to be caused by multiple pregnancies, obesity, and rapid weight loss. Well over half a million people undergo cholecystectomy (surgical removal of the gallbladder) each year.
The normal function of the gallbladder is to store bile produced by the liver, and to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats in the duodenum (the first portion of the small intestine). Gallstones compose a solid formation of cholesterol and bile salts. However, research shows that approximately 80 to 90 percent of all gallstones are cholesterol gallstones which form when the liver begins secreting bile that is abnormally saturated with cholesterol. The excess cholesterol crystallizes and then forms stones which are stored in the gallbladder or the cystic duct. Gallstones can also form due to low levels of bile acids and bile lecithin.

Who Is At Risk For Gallstones?

When I was diagnosed with gallstones at 26, I was told that the typical gallstone patient was fair, fat, and forty. Today gallstones are seen in younger patients, perhaps due to the large amount of fast foods being consumed. My daughter went through five years of vomiting beginning at age 15, leading me to almost believe that she was bulimic, before she was diagnosed with gallstones at age 20. Risk factors which can lead to increased incidence of gallstones include the "Four Fs:" fat, female, fertile, and flatulent, as well as sickle cell disease (bilirubin), cirrhosis, Crohn's disease, diabetes, pancreatic disease, and hyperparathyroidism.
Have Been Diagnosed With Gallbladder Disease?
When the symptoms of gallstones occur they are often called an "attack" because they occur suddenly. The typical gallstone attack includes:
  • Steady, severe pain in the upper abdomen that increases rapidly and lasts from 30 minutes to several hours.
  • Pain in the back between the shoulder blades.
  • Pain under the right shoulder.
  • Nausea or vomiting.
Gallstone attacks often follow fatty meals, and they may occur during the night. Although I was lucky not to have too much nausea and vomiting with my gallstones, one of my most vivid childhood memories is of my mother up at night, in the bathroom, vomiting.
Other symptoms of gallstones include:
  • Abdominal bloating.
  • Recurring intolerance of fatty foods.
  • Colic.
  • Belching.
  • Gas.
  • Indigestion.
The following symptoms are indication that you should seek immediate medical attention:
  • Sweating.
  • Chills.
  • Low-grade fever.
  • Yellowish color of the skin or whites of the eyes.
  • Clay-colored stools.
Many people have gallstones with no symptoms, these people are called asymptomatic. Gallstones that cause no symptoms are called "silent stones." Silent stones do not interfere in gallbladder, liver, or pancreas function and do not require treatment.
Have Been Diagnosed With Gallbladder Disease?
Until just a few years ago, the most common treatment for symptomatic gallstones was a surgical procedure called cholecystectomy which required a large abdominal incision to remove the gallbladder. This was an extremely painful (based on my personal experience) and difficult to recover from operation that required at least five days in the hospital, and approximately six weeks for recovery.
Today laparoscopic cholecystectomy is most commonly performed. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is usually performed in a day-surgery unit and requires only a tiny incision. My daughter's gallstones were treated laparoscopically, leaving her feeling well enough to continue her normal activities later that day. However, it should be noted that not all patients will recover almost instantaneously as my daughter did--the typical patient may need up to a week to recover before returning to normal activities.
Alternative treatments for gallstones include:
  • Oral bile acid dissolution therapy.
  • Contact solvent dissolution.
  • Mechanical extraction through a catheter placed into the gallbladder either through the skin or through and endoscope.
  • Fragmentation through shock-wave lithotripsy combined with bile acid dissolution.
Each of these alternative treatments leave the gallbladder in place. Because the gallbladder is not removed during these treatments many patients face a significant risk of recurrence.
Have Been Diagnosed With Gallbladder Disease?
People who may be at risk for developing gallstones may want to try modifying their diet to decrease their risk. The amount of dietary fiber consumed is an important therapy for gallstones that is often overlooked. Gallstones may be prevented by increasing consumption of both soluble and insoluble fiber which reduces the absorption of deoxycholic acid by producing a favorable shift in the triad of factors that control cholesterol's solubility in bile. Soluble fibers which are effective include guar gum and pectin, as well as other types of fiber (including oat bran, wheat bran, and soy fiber) which are found in many fruits and vegetables. The benefit of fiber is seen in the low incidence of gallstones in vegetarians.
Coffee drinking has been associated with a decreased risk of symptomatic gallstones, according to research conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health and published in the June 9, 1999 issue of the "Journal of the American Medical Association". The study found that men (over 46,000 men were studied) who drank two or three cups of coffee a day had a 40 percent lower risk of developing gallstones, while men who drank 4 or more cups of coffee a day decreased their risk by 45 percent. The study found no relation between gallstone prevention and tea, decaffeinated coffee, or caffeinated soft drinks.
Regular, vigorous, exercise may decrease the risk of gallstones. One study, reported by WebMD, found that men who performed endurance activities such as jogging, running, racquet sports, and brisk walking for 30 minutes five times a week, experienced a 34 percent reduction in risk for gallbladder disease. The amount of benefit derived from exercise was more dependent on intensity than type of exercise. Researchers theorize that exercise helps to normalize blood sugar and insulin levels which may contribute to gallstones, if abnormal.
There is also some research which suggests that taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin or ibuprofen offers some protection against the formation of gallstones. However, one study found no difference in the risk of gallstones in over 400 chronic arthritis patients who regularly took NSAIDS.
Another option, approved by the FDA for obese patients, is a drug called Actigall®. This is the first drug approved for the prevention of gallstones; it has been used in carefully selected patients since 1988.
  • Gallstones affect approximately one in ten Americans, and are associated with approximately 3,000 deaths annually.
  • More than 800,000 hospitalizations each year are caused by gallstones that are large enough to cause significant pain.
  • Over 500,000 people undergo surgery for gallstones annually.
  • Obesity is one of the strongest risk factors for gallstones.
  • Rapid weight loss diets significantly increase the risk for gallstones.
