"Typically, stones in the gallbladder keep growing in size for about eight years before noticeable symptoms begin to appear. Larger stones are generally calcified and can be detected easily through radiological means or by using ultrasound." - Andreas Moritz, The Liver and gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.) "This gradually reduces the stamina and performance of the gallbladder. Subsequently, the formation of mineralized gallstones is just a matter of time. Intestinal Diseases The small intestine is continuous with the stomach at the pyloric sphincter and has a length of 16-19 feet. It leads into the large intestine, which is about 3.5-5 feet long. The small intestine secretes intestinal juice to complete the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats." - Andreas Moritz, The Liver and gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.) "Gallstones in the liver and gallbladder drastically reduce the secretion of bile, which weakens the ability of pancreatic enzymes to digest carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This, in turn, prevents the small intestine from properly absorbing the nutrient components of these foods (such as monosaccharides from carbohydrates, amino acids from protein, and fatty acids and glycerol from fats). This incomplete absorption can lead to malnourishment and food cravings." - Andreas Moritz, The Liver and gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.) "When stones congest the gallbladder and the liver's bile ducts, these hormones may not be sufficiently broken down and detoxified. Hence, their concentration in the blood rises to abnormal levels, causing tissue swelling and water retention. Most oncologists consider elevated estrogen levels to be the leading cause of breast cancer among women. In men, high levels of this hormone can lead to both excessive development of breast tissue and weight gain. Over 60 percent of the American population is overweight or obese." - Andreas Moritz, The Liver and gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.)

"By removing the gallbladder, you also remove its regulating effect on bile. That means that bile is continually dumping into your intestinal tract when it is not needed, and is available in only minimal amounts when it is needed. The net result is chronic digestive problems and probable long-term nutritional deficiencies. Far better than removing the gallbladder is a seasonal liver/gallbladder flush combined with a periodic liver rebuilding program." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Gallstones in the liver and gallbladder considerably disrupt both these vital processes. Therefore, they can be held accountable for most, if not all, of the different kinds of ailments that can afflict the body. Removal of gallstones helps to normalize the digestive and eliminative functions, improve cell metabolism, and maintain balance throughout the body. 9 See details on the vitamin issue in Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation." - Andreas Moritz, The Amazing Liver & gallbladder Flush: A Powerful Do-It-Yourself Tool To Optimize your Health and Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"GALLBLADDER CANCER: A case-control study involving diagnosed cases of gallbladder cancer found that sweet potatoes were among the vegetables that offered the greatest protective benefit. KIDNEY CANCER: A Japanese cohort study that followed 47,997 males and 66,520 females for about 10 years found that consumption of sweet potatoes was linked to a decreased risk of kidney cancer. Tips on Using Sweet Potatoes SELECTION AND STORAGE: • Choose firm sweet potatoes free of bruises, soft spots, and cracks. • If selecting for carotene content, choose darker varieties." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"Understand, the gallbladder is not responsible for the production of gallstones. The liver is the culprit—ot rather what we do to the liver. The gallbladder is merely a holding area for bile to be used in the digestion of fats and oils. But if our diets are too high in the wrong kind of oils, if we have allergies to dairy and eggs, low levels of stomach acid, too little fiber in our diets, stress, if the liver is not functioning properly, etc., etc., etc." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "Yes, it's true that after gallbladder removal you're unlikely to suffer from further gallstones. But on the other hand, you've now traded one problem for two new ones: 1. Since you never corrected the underlying problem of imbalances in the liver, these problems will just continue to get worse—eventually compromising the liver itself. 2. By removing the gallbladder, you also remove its regulating effect on bile. That means that bile is continually dumping into your intestinal tract when it is not needed, and is available in only minimal amounts when it is needed." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Vitamin C is needed for the transformation of cholesterol into bile acids and the elimination of bile acids through the gallbladder. In vitamin C deficiency, the breakdown of cholesterol is slowed, resulting in an accumulation of cholesterol in the liver. This can lead to high blood cholesterol and the formation of gallstones. Vitamin C is needed to catalyze another enzymatic reaction that activates a polypeptide hormone, cholecystokinin. This hormone stimulates contraction of the gallbladder to release bile. So, vitamin C works in two ways to eliminate excess cholesterol." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"Many of my clients who stopped drinking any kind of alcohol, including beer and wine, spontaneously recovered from such problems as panic attacks, arrhythmia, respiratory problems, various heart conditions, sleeping disorders, gallbladder attacks, pancreatic infections, prostate enlargement, colitis, and other inflammatory diseases. If you suffer from any disease at all, it is best to stay away from all dehydrating beverages, such as alcohol, coffee, tea, and soda (especially diet drinks)." - Andreas Moritz, The Amazing Liver & gallbladder Flush: A Powerful Do-It-Yourself Tool To Optimize your Health and Wellbeing (Get the book.) "This stimulates a sluggish liver and gallbladder. 17. Get Regular Exposure to Sunlight Your body is capable of synthesizing vitamin D (which is actually a hormone rather than a vitamin) through a process whereby the sun's ultraviolet rays interact with a form of cholesterol present in the skin. Regular exposure to sunlight has been shown to regulate cholesterol levels. However, unlike cholesterol-lowering drugs, sunlight does not increase cholesterol in the bile, which is a major cause of gallstones." - Andreas Moritz, The Amazing Liver & gallbladder Flush: A Powerful Do-It-Yourself Tool To Optimize your Health and Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Gallstones in the liver and gallbladder drastically reduce the secretion of bile, which weakens the ability of pancreatic enzymes to digest carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This, in turn, prevents the small intestine from properly absorbing the nutrient components of these foods (such as monosaccharides from carbohydrates, amino acids from protein, and fatty acids and glycerol from fats). This incomplete absorption can lead to malnourishment and food cravings." - Andreas Moritz, The Amazing Liver & gallbladder Flush: A Powerful Do-It-Yourself Tool To Optimize your Health and Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"This made me realize how unnecessary gallbladder removals are, with the difficulty in digesting fats that comes as a result. (The gallbladder is a saclike organ that stores liver bile, essential for digesting fats properly.) I felt so light and euphoric that I didn't even want to break the fast. Finally I did. I wanted to keep that light feeling. I wondered if going raw would do the trick so decided to give it a try. Within a month of going raw, I lost about fifteen pounds. But much more than that, things I never expected I would ever be free from disappeared completely." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"The plan the liver makes for your life needs to be flexible yet strong, with a clear vision for your future that allows the creative spirit of the liver to be open to new ideas and experiences. The gallbladder is the "decision maker," the prudent judge, who watches over and coordinates the enacting of the plan made by the liver. The gallbladder needs to make good decisions with clarity that benefit all members of the house. When the wood element is out of balance a person may become extremely controlling, exhibiting rigidity and aggression." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Because bile links your liver, gallbladder, and digestive tract, people with liver problems frequendy have gallbladder issues and vice versa. They are also likely to have digestion problems. You have probably heard about gallstones, which affect up to 20 million Americans and are twice as common among women. Gallstone formation is thought to be due to an imbalance of bile salts and minerals, dehydration, toxins, and excess cholesterol in the bile. In addition, a high-fat, low-fiber diet and pregnancy have been associated with gallstone production." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "Once produced in the liver, it then flows into ducts leading to the gallbladder?much like tributaries leading to a river. This bile eventually makes its way to the small intestine, where it promotes the digestion of oils and fats. These can then be used by your body to build cells and bigger structures like hormones. About one quart of this fat-emulsifying substance is produced every day and stored temporarily in the gallbladder, to be released when ingested dietary fat makes its way to the intestines." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"One is a kidney-liver-gallbladder cleanse using Royal Break-Stone Tea (also known as Cbanca Piedra), which breaks up kidney and gallbladder stones. This is conducted during days 30-60 to give your body some time to clear out other waste matter before getting to the more sensitive liver cleansing. A parasite cleanse is done during days 60-80, as this is the point in a Feast in which there is nowhere left for the parasites to hide (because the Juice Feast is an intestinal-bowel cleanse, removing uneliminated waste matter where parasites can take up residence)." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The gallbladder. 15. Vitamin E: (a) Is built into LDL for protection from oxidation that can lead to clogged arteries. (b) Makes bones stronger. (c) Prevents rickets. (d) All of the above. 16. To be effective, vitamin E supplements should be taken with meals because: (a) It is easier to remember to take supplements at mealtime. (b) Fats in food trigger the absorption of vitamin E. (c) At bedtime, fatigue prevents absorption. (d) Carbohydrates help with absorption of vitamin E. 17. Vitamin E, in amounts above 40 times the RDA, can cause: (a) Weak bones. (b) Increased respiration." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"DO-IN This ancient form of Chinese self-massage in the form of a series of exercises is aimed at preventing rather than curing disease, by strengthening energy channels linked to the heart, lungs, liver, gallbladder and other organs. Do-in is related to shiatsu and some of the exercises and positions are similar to yoga postures. GESTALT OR HUMANISTIC PSYCHOLOGY This promotes personal growth by self-awareness, resolving inner conflict and taking control of one's ideas, actions and feelings to release anxiety and tension and restore emotional self-confidence." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Do not underestimate the power of the mild liver gallbladder flush. The liver flush causes contraction of the gallbladder. It also dilates the sphincter and enlarges this tube (the bile ducts) that goes from the gallbladder to the duodenum. So it all gets dilated. And also, it's become slippery — you have olive oil in there. You are going to be able to pass stones much easier. Every person who has ever come to see me.. .every one I have ever worked with... has been doing gallbladder flushes by the third or fourth visit. You can do the flush five days in a row, Monday through Friday." - Dr. Richard Schulze and Sam Biser, The Top Ten Herbs to Cure Big Diseases (Get the book.)

"Bile is stored in the gallbladder until it is needed by the small intestine for digestion. (See digestive system.) gallstone A hard, pebblelike material deposited in the gallbladder or bile ducts by the process of chemical precipitation. Gallstones can cause considerable pain, and can even obstruct the flow of bile from the gallbladder. On some occasions, gallstones, or sometimes the entire gallbladder, must be removed by surgery. gangrene The death and decay of body tissue owing to insufficient supply of blood. gastric A descriptive term for things pertaining to the stomach." - E. D. Hirsch, The Dictionary of Cultural Literacy (Get the book.)

"An estimated 20% of the world's population will develop gallstones in their gallbladder at some stage in their lives. This How to fully restore all these functions of the digestive system is discussed in detail in the author's book, Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation (www.ener-chi.com). figure, however, does not account for the many more people who will develop gallstones in their liver or who already have them.

"Surprisingly, only a relative few of them report a history of gallstones in their gallbladder. Gallstones in the liver are the main impediment to acquiring and maintaining good health, youthfulness, and vitality. They are, indeed, one of the major reasons people become ill and have difficulty recuperating from illness, including cancer. The liver has direct control over the growth and functioning of every cell in the body. Any kind of malfunction, deficiency, or abnormal growth pattern of the cell largely results from poor liver performance." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Ectopic pregnancy, tubo-ovarian abscess, ruptured ovarian cysts, appendicitis, inflammatory colitis, pancreatitis, cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), cystitis (inflammation of the bladder), diverticulitis (inflammation of a small pouch along the border of the colon), hepatitis, and a twisted fallopian tube are among the other potentially serious disorders that require differentiation from PID. Women with PID typically describe pain that is sharp, localized, and on both sides of the body. They may also have an oral temperature above 101 degrees." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"It is important to know that digestive and metabolic enzymes (only those produced by the body itself) possess the most powerful anti-cancer 19 The causes of gallstones in the liver are fully discussed in the author's book The Amazing Liver and gallbladder Flush. properties of any substance in the body. Not producing enough of these enzymes has a direct detrimental effect on cell health and can be considered directly responsible for cancerous growth in the body, regardless of the location." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"It works principally on the liver and gallbladder to help remove waste products. By supporting the liver, excessive estrogens and toxins can be deactivated. Researchers in Japan have found a link between dandelion and antitumor activity.87 In addition, dandelion leaf contains vitamins A, C, and K and calcium, as well as choline, a lipotropic substance.

"It also stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid and bile and is known for relieving gallbladder problems and indigestion. Most supplements these days contain a mix of enzymes like bromelain, found in pineapple, papain from papaya, and proteolytic enzymes, which are animal-derived enzymes that break down proteins. I recommend a digestive enzyme supplement that also contains HCI; many good supplements do. Alternately you can take an HCI supplement on its own. The most common form of HCI supplement is called betaine-HCl." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)
