Hi folks...an ultra sound has shown that I have gallstones. They are thinking that's why I have had continual back pain since mid December. I am going to also check with my orthopedist to see about back stuff - because I don't have other symptoms for gall bladder disease.
I have a friend who sent me this natural way to flush out gallstones. Have any of you ever heard of this. I saw a few things like it on the web...but, actually now know someone who did it successfully.
My first reaction is no. If it were this easy doctors would tell you to do it. My next reaction is that doctors don't often believe in this type of medicine- it's a business, too. Surgeons do surgery to make a living.
From my friend.... what do you think.
(BTW - it's just your opinion - don't worry about what you say.)
<<<Hi, Beverly
I went to the health food store and bought two bottles of ultra-phos, (sometimes it's called ortho-phos, and they're the same thing.) You put half the bottle in a quart of apple juice, and drink that throughout the day. You do that for three days. If for some reason you can't drink apple juice, then distilled water will work, but apple juice does work better. You'll have half a bottle of ultra phos left over, but keep it in case you decide to do a follow up treatment in a month or so. Also, you can eat-it's not a fast. a
At the end of the third day, or the beginning of the fourth day, take a cup of olive oil (the lighter, the better) and a cup of coke classic (not a whole can) and mix them. Add the juice of two fresh lemons. drink it. (It really is NOT as bad as it sounds. I kept pouring that mixture between two cups to keep it mixed. Then as soon as I had it all down, I stuck a wedge of lemon in my mouth to cut the oily taste.) Then go lay down on your right side for half an hour. After that you can go do whatever you want.
It took until the next day for this to work for me, both times that I've done it. You won't necessarily have diarrhea, but you will have to go pretty urgently.
How this works is really pretty simple. The ultra phos softens the stones. That's why it's important to drink it for three full days. Then when you drink the olive oil mixture and lay down, your liver doesn't know what to do with it so it spasms, (which doesn't hurt) and it shoots out all the softened stones. I've done it twice and didn't feel any pain either time. I could feel some twitches around where my liver is, but that's it. I've known a lot of people who have used this remedy, and none of them said it hurt, either. Some of them said that they passed gall stones the size of ping pong balls, too. Mine were about the size of marbles.
Also, if you drink plain apple juice every day, it helps. It makes it harder for gall stones to form in the first place. >>>>
