GALLSTONES

It was so sad that my cousin who took good care of me during the time of my open heart operation was the one who is in the center of another ordeal in our family. My cousin is only 21 yrs. Old and it was so surprising that he was diagnosed with gallstones according to his doctor “gallstones are very rare in males.” It is also very depressing on his part because 3 days from now his review for nursing board exam will start.

If only diagnosed earlier maybe the operation is not needed anymore like what happened to my grandmother on my mother side. She was diagnosed to have gallstones but she did not undergo operation. Her doctor told her that her gallstones were smalls and suggested that instead of operation she may undergo first with oral therapy. And through the Oral Therapy that her doctor suggested to her the gallstones in her body were flashed out.

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE STEPS FOR ORAL THERAPY
(The Oral Therapy that my grandmother underwent that flushed out the gallstones from her body.)

1. Drink Mott’s Apple Juice for five consecutive days

2. After drinking Mott’s apple juice for five consecutive days take Milk of Magnesia ( the # of tablets of milk of magnesia depends on the wt. and age of the patient) my grandmother took 8 tablets together.


3. Then drink the Homemade Purgative Recipe.

HOMEMADE PURGATIVE RECIPE:

4 ounce of Olive oil
4 ounce of Pure lemon juice

After taking Milk of Magnesia drink 4 ounce of Olive Oil followedby 4 ounce of pure lemon juice (this steps may sound and taste grossy but you have to endure the taste of it ). Expectedly by completing the steps, the gallstones will be flushed out following bowel movement.

EARLY SYMPTOMS OF GALLSTONES

Back pain
Yellowish eyes and skin ( Jaundice)

Computerized tomography (CT) scan
Cholescintigraphy (HIDA scan)
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
