A toxic, overloaded, inflamed, blocked gallbladder is capable of causing an enormous array of symptoms that can seem to have no connection at all to their cause.  In part these same symptoms are caused by a toxic, constipated colon that, in part, got that way because of poor fat digestion over a long time.  These symptoms include:  severe back pain; headache; bloating; burping; nausea; insomnia; intestinal gas; generalized aches and pains.

Medical doctors used to remove a troublesome gallbladder without hesitation; it was an organ they considered to be highly dispensable.  Without one, the bile duct takes over as a bladder but its capacity is much smaller so the person’s ability to digest fats has been permanently crippled, leading to increased toxemia and earlier aging if fats are not eliminated from the diet.  These days the medicos have a new, less invasive procedure to eliminate stones; they are vibrated and broken-up by ultrasonics without major surgery.  Inflamed gallbladders are usually removed because gallbladder inflammations resist treatment by antibiotics.

There are several very effective natural gallbladder remedies.  The best is a three week fast, taking the juice of one or two lemons every day, along with colonics.  The lemon juice tends to clear the bile duct.  The fast allows the gallbladder to heal from inflammation.  In cases that aren’t too severe I have had very good results simply eliminating fats from the diet and using a food supplement derived from beet tops called AF Betafood.  However, in all these cases, once the gallbladder is no longer “acting up,” the person must stay on a low fat diet.  Any fats they do eat must be vegetable and in small quantities.

By healing their gallbladders and cleansing their colons, several of my clients have resolved severe, debilitating back pain, pain so severe that the suffers were becoming bedridden.  Medical doctors don’t associate gallbladder disease with back pain.

The Frightening Heart

Heart disease is one of the major causes of death among North Americans.  It evokes images of resuscitation, of desperate races against time, trying to restart an arrested heart before the brain dies.  It makes people think of horribly expensive surgery, last wills and testaments, terrible, paralyzing pain.  Heart disease is a great profit center for the medical profession.

Most heart problems are very easy to fix by holistic approaches, even many hereditary weaknesses and malfunctions can be healed, if the work is done before too much organic damage occurs.  But it rarely is easy to get the people to take the necessary medicine; everything in their lives must change—­and fast.

First of all, people with heart problems must rapidly reach and maintain normal weight.  This can be done by fasting or by dietary change, usually by eliminating all fats, sugars and refined starches.  Alcohol and tobacco must instantly and forever become only past memories.  It is almost as essential to eliminate flesh protein foods and dairy.  Should that prove entirely too painful, fish in small quantities and only one or two times a week is tolerable.
