GALLSTONES: HERE’S WHAT THE DOCTOR WON’T TELL YOU! by Penny Samuels You have a terrible pain and tenderness in the upper right area of your abdomen, a pain between your shoulder blades, you feel nauseous and ready to die. You sit, stand and lie down but cannot get comfortable. So you go to see your GP, who very helpfully informs you that you have Acute Cholecystitis and that the only cure is to have your gallbladder surgically removed. WHAT? Did you hear correctly? Sadly, yes you did. The standard medical treatment for Acute Cholecystitis (an inflamed gallbladder, caused by stones forming in the gallbladder - the first phase - followed by a gallstone being expelled from the gallbladder during contraction and becoming lodged in one of the bile ducts - the second phase) is the removal of the gallbladder, an operation called a cholecystectomy. This is akin to removing your nose to cure the common cold! Another thing your GP probably won’t mention as he or she urges you to have surgery, is the increased risk of bowel cancer that the removal of the gallbladder can cause, as bile drips continuously into your digestive system?. This constant dripping also causes diarrhoea in some people. Removing the gallbladder may also cause higher blood cholesterol levels. But then, look on the bright side - you’ll never suffer from gallstones again! But what I GUARANTEE your doctor won’t tell you - most probably because he or she doesn’t actually know - is that there is a natural and painless way to rid yourself of the gallstones and keep your gallbladder! But first, a little background. Bile, which comprises water, bile salts, lecithin and cholesterol, is first produced by the liver and then secreted through channels within the liver into a small tube called a hepatic duct. From there it passes through a larger tube called a common duct, which leads to the small intestine. Then, except for a small amount that drains directly into the small intestine, bile flows into the
