My mother is 94 and has all her marbles, and no health issues other than high blood pressure, which she is addressing by taking natural cures. She takes no pharmaceutical products. Some of her advantage is good genes, but, she swears by Eat Right 4 Your Type (Dr. Peter D'Adamo). OK, she was misdiagnosed by her doctor for gallstones (the doctor said she didn't have any). What she found with research is that uncalcified gall stones are not visible on Xray, Ultrasound, MRI, Cat Scan, ... Endoscope will see them, of course. She found a natural doctor (Biochemistry PHd?) Hulda Clark, who said that gall stones are caused by parasites, and that to remove gall stones, first kill the parasites. Hulda Clark has a parasite (liver) cleanse, which is 14? days long. First day is 1 drop of poison (cloves, wormwood, black hull walnut tincture, can't remember the others). After 14 drops on day 14, rest a day. Then drink a cup of epson salts at noon, then 3? hours later drink another cup of epson salts. 6 hrs? after the first epson salts drink, drink a cup of olive oil (mix in grapefruit juice if you cant hold it down). Wait a while. Stay close to the loo. Soon the
ACTION;) should start. She claimed to remove 2000 gall stones varying in size from tiny to marble sized. Also, a lot of silt and other gunk is removed. This is almost like an oil change for humans.
Now I tried the same thing, but nothing happened. Then, 3 months later, I got pancreatitis diagnosed while on a ski trip to Kelowna, from VAncouver. Back in VAncouver, another 4 trips to VGH. I told the doctors that I might have a gall stone stuck in my system somewhere, but, they kept hinting that if only I would stop being an alcoholic, everything would be fine. My brother is an alcoholic, but I am not. Perhaps they thought I was he? So, eventually, it was time for the endoscope, and, voila, they found a gallstone jammed into the sphincter (check valve) at the point where the common bile duct connects to the intestine. They removed the gall stone, cut the valve to make it a bigger opening, and cleaned the bile duct. I then repeated the Hulda Clark Liver Cleanse 5? times, and got tons of gallstones, silt, and other gunk to come out. One was round and wide as my thumb. Doctors said impossible. I scooped a bunch of them and put into an empty pill bottle. Showed my doctor, Hey, look what I have. He said - Did you have your gall baldder removed? Boy those doctors are sure quick to catch on!!!
My experience was very different from my mothers. However, the outcome was extremely beneficial to me, in the end, but only after a very high risk life threatening situation. I would recommend that anyone interested to keep their gall bladder do a 6 month program of taking apple cider vinegar (as mentioned), or whatever reduces the size of the gallstones, first, before trying the Hulda Clark protocol. Also, if your gall stones are uncalcified, be very careful how you approach the doctors. They are never wrong, right?
A few years after that I developed a gangrinous gallbladder, which also nearly killed me. broke my knee skating, because my balance was so bad, and the doctors found the puss filled gall bladder two days after the knee surgery. As big as football. They couldn't remove it. They drained it, and the mess was really bad (think balloon of puss spraying everywhere in OR). (glad I was under for that one). 85% chance of reinfection. I am glad they didn't remove it. The gall bladder is not an optional organ!!!
The foods we eat contain lectins that are compatible, neutral, or poisonous (inflammation causing) to our bodies.The first blood type was blood type O, and is primarly meat eater. can drink beer too. Blood type A is primarily vegetarian, beer is poison (glutin based???), but wine is highly beneficial. Vinegar is bad for type A. The other types have their own list of compatible and incompatible foods. Is it 100%?. I don't think so. There are other things that should be done to improve your health. But things that cause inflammation should be addressed proactively, and eating food compatible with blood type is a GREAT starting point. IT gives your body a BIG rest, every DAY, OK???
Inflammation is also caused by glutin (Please read the Wheat Belly Book).
I grow my own food using rock dust, in an area out on the prairies that has sandy soil, and my health is 10000000000000000000 X better improved. Cut sugar 99%. Cut bread 90%. Cut meat 70%. EAt mostly chicken for meat, that is almost like organic (no antibiotics, hormones, ...). EAt mostly vegetables, quinoa. I also eat my own potatoes, which is a no no, but, they seem to be beneficial. Rice is not beneficial, especially the processed rices.
If you buy supplements that are natural based (a lot of multivitamins and pills are junk), which is expensive, then that also may help. Everybody should be taking tumeric (and black pepper?). Fermented tumeric might be a better way to go.
And of course, there's Vitamin C. Take the right kind, and lots of it. Vitamin D3 also, the right kind, lots of it.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
