Gallstone symptoms, gallstone treatment, kidney stone symptoms and removalgallstone symptoms, gallstone treatment by crushing and softening,gallbladder flushing, kidney stone removal, liver cleanseTel.: (416) 248-2930 Gallstones and kidney stones often occur together. When
either kind of stone exists, the liver, kidneys and the whole system
cannot work efficiently. Because the kidneys and gallbladder are
very close to each other, the stagnation of one organ often causes the
other organ to become sluggish too. This is why kidney stones and
gallstones usually occur together as both types of stones are the result
of stagnation. In order to reduce the chance of having stone
accumulation and stagnation again, it is better to cleanse both kidney
stones and gallstones.
Sleep problem is another common symptom with gallstones. In
more severe cases, the gallstones may cause dizziness, bad taste in the
mouth, vomiting of the bile, painful flanks, aggravation, anger and
depression, insomnia and nightmares or hot and cold flushes [A
Barefoot Doctor's Manual, the American translation of the official
Chinese Paramedical Manual, Running Press, Philadelphia, 1990]. These
symptoms are often reduced significantly after the gallstones are
removed. Gallstones may take up to 25 years to show symptoms according
to the American Liver Foundation.
Women are four times more likely to have gallstones than men. I
suspect that pregnancy and childbirth may make the abdominal area more
stagnant and become susceptible to gallstone formation. I used to think
that gallstones only develop in people who are obese or have a high fat
diet. I now believe bile stasis or gallbladder stagnation is a major
cause of gallstone formation. I have never been on a high fat diet and
have always been under-weight. When I tried my first gallbladder flush,
more than 50 gallstones were released.
I had severe congested liver (see my home
page , Section 1) which caused sleep disorders including difficulty
in falling asleep and waking up several times through the night.
It was not unusual for me to sleep only 3 to 4 hours or less at night.
After my liver became healthier (see liver
cleanse ), I slept much better but I still had to get up at least
once every night. I thought that I had no choice but to live with it.
Surprisingly, after my gallstones were flushed out, I started sleeping
right through most nights without waking up at all. A friend of mine had
headaches for more than 30 years. They also disappeared after her
gallstones were flushed out.
Details of the procedure I used to flush out gallstones is described
in gallbladder
flushing - an alternative to gallbladder surgery and chemical drugs
. An important difference between my procedure and that of many
other flush procedures is that I use the herbal product Gold Coin
Grass (GCG) (available from Prime
Health Products , Tel: 416-248-2930) to soften and crush the
gallstones before flushing. This makes the flushing easier, more
efficient and complete, especially for larger stones. Many people
actually experience pain relief already from using Gold Coin Grass (GCG).
The Chinese herb Gold Coin Grass (GCG) has been commonly used
in Chinese medicine for centuries for gallstone removal and kidney stone
removal. For kidney stone treatment, it is taken in the form of
tea because kidney detoxifies water soluble toxins. However, the
tincture form (available from Prime
Health Products , Tel: 416-248-2930) with low level of alcohol seems
to be more effective for gallstones because alcohol is a better solvent
and carrier for the liver. Since the liver detoxifies non-water
soluble toxins, water is a poor carrier. Gold Coin Grass (GCG) is
capable of softening and crushing the gallstones. This has been my own
experience as well as that of many other people who used the herb. The
crushed and softened stones are flushed through much more readily.
The following kidney stone removal procedure has been used by many
people with good results (disappearance of pain in a few days). It
involves drinking a tea made from 3 different herbs: Gold Coin
Grass (GCG), corn silk and Eucommia. These herbs
are mixed together and boiled in water for about 15 minutes. About
4 cups are needed daily, taken before meals or bedtime on empty stomach.
Both Gold Coin Grass (GCG) and corn silk are kidney
cleansers and diuretics which may deplete the body of potassium.
Therefore it is recommended that potassium supplement be taken to
replenish the loss. The Chinese herb Eucommia increases
energy flow in the kidneys and is complementary to Gold Coin Grass (GCG)
and corn silk because anyone with kidney stones or sludges has
sluggish kidneys.
An important note to anyone with kidney stones is to avoid cold foods
or drinks. Cold drinks chill your internal organs and weaken them,
especially the kidneys and spleen. Many of my clients told me that
they can feel the chilling effect from cold drinks after several months
of not having them. Home
