Experiences and Testimonials of others

BK - I have been plagued with bloating, gas and discomfort for a number of years, but it has, until recently, been only at occasional times. Now I find it happening more often and lasting for days. I will be having my gall bladder removed soon because I am full of stones. Since finding out the nature of my discomfort I began putting peppermint oil in tea or coffee whenever I began feeling distressed - usually after a meal. Since I have been doing this the problem seems to be quelled before it develops into a full attack. Sometimes I have even rubbed the oil on my stomach and gall bladder area before going to bed and I wake up in the morning with absolutely no discomfort at all. I use peppermint for lots of things, but for this problem it has been such a wonderful relief.

Loryjean - My niece has been diagnosed with gallstones; some in her bile duct. I could find lavender and rosemary recommended; does anyone know of anything else, or a specific protocol I could suggest?

Brooke - I don't know exactly what would help with the "stones' per se but I know that lecithin and lemon work really well to help the gallbladder. My mom takes 3 -120mg capsules of lecithin every morning and night, and puts lemon essential oil in her water all day long.

Chris - I was diagnosed with gallstones years ago and chose not to have my gallbladder removed. One thing that is so very important is to stay away from any type of fried foods. Hope that will help some. Maria - Have her put lemon in her drinking water and use the On Guard and DigestZen internally in capsules. My family has often used "Dr. Hulda's Gallbladder Cleanse" and I've passed numerous gallstones myself using this cleanse. You can Google this and it will pull up the protocol. I prefer the grapefruit juice over the lemon juice.

JJ - Stan Burroughs is a very good cleans. I use it every 6 months whether I have symptoms or not. Dr. Hulda's is more aggressive if you are severely suffering from liver problems or kidney and gallbladder stones. You can find these both on the Internet. As for oils to help supplement your efforts, I agree with other that grapefruit, lemon, clove, and peppermint help. Drink and apply topically.

Shay - My friend is pregnant and just found out she has gallstones. What oils would be safe during pregnancy and get rid of gallstones, and how would she take them?

Lil - A few drops of On Guard will kill the pain, stop the diarrhea, and keep the nausea if she has it. I'm speaking from first person here; I've been there and done that. A few drops in a glass of water when there is pain (or directly under the tongue if she can). Otherwise, I would not worry about the stones until after the baby is born. Then I would do a cleanse with pure apple juice, water, lemon juice, and olive oil. Then, no more stones. Also in the meantime, I would always add lemon oil in my water every day. I would not be surprised if all the stones were gone by the time the baby arrives.

Blessings to your friend, her precious unborn child, and YOU for caring and serving others!
