GallBladder Stones & its Removal

Gall bladder disease can affect anyone, but some people are more vulnerable than others. You are most at risk of having gall bladder problems if you :

• You are a Woman- Rates of gallstones are two to three times higher among women than men. Hormone replacement therapies and oral contraceptives have also been described to be associated with an increased risk for gallstone disease.
• Have a Family history- The tendency to develop gallstones and gall bladder disease often runs in families, indicating there may be a genetic link.
• Are older than 40- Gallstones are 4 to 10 times more frequent in the population. That’s because as you age your body tends to release more cholesterol into bile, which makes it more likely that stones will form in the gallbladder. In the past 10 years, we at NHC have encountered some children too as patients for gallstones.
• Are overweight or obese- Obesity can raise your cholesterol level and also make it harder for the gallbladder to empty completely.
• Have diabetes- People with diabetes generally have a high level of fatty acids, which may increase the risk of gallstones.
• Take certain medicines- Some of the drugs boost the amount of cholesterol in bile, which may increase your chances of getting cholesterol stones. In addition to genetic and lifestyle factors, certain medical conditions or surgical procedures can also increase your likelihood of developing gallbladder problems.
• Have fatty liver- Cirrhosis of the liver and certain blood disorders also increase a person’s risk of gallstones made up of bilirubin instead of cholesterol.
• Are Native American or Mexican American- Having patients across the globe, our studies have shown a clear association between race and risk of gallbladder problems that cannot be completely explained by environmental factors. Native Americans and Mexican American are more likely to develop gallstones than other ethnic groups, probably as a result of dietary and genetic factors.

• Cholesterol supersaturation- Normally bile dissolves the cholesterol that is secreted by liver. But if liver produces more cholesterol than bile can dissolve, than this excess cholesterol forms sludge and stones in liver and gallbladder.
• Excessive bilirubin- Bilirubin is a yellowish substance which forms when red blood cells break down. Certain hematologic conditions cause the liver to make too much bilirubin through the processing of breakdown of hemoglobin. This excess bilirubin may also cause gallstone formation.
• Gallbladder Impaired Contractility- If the gallbladder does not empty effectively, bile may become concentrated and form gallstones.

Many people don’t even have any symptoms of gallstones until they have complications. Some common symptoms of gall bladder stones include:

• Severe pain in the upper abdomen that starts suddenly and lasts from 30 minutes to really long hours.
• Pain under the right shoulder or in the right shoulder blade
• Nausea or vomiting
• Indigestion after eating high-fat foods, such as fried foods or desserts
• The most common triggers for gallbladder attacks are caffeine, chocolate, eggs, dairy products (especially ice cream) and greasy or deep-fried foods

Gallstones are formed in the liver. They travel through little tiny tubes called biliary ducts but most of them end up in the gallbladder. These stones are not hard in nature, instead soft like rubber or cheese pieces. Ultrasound or Sonography is the primary diagnostic test for gallbladder disease. Other tests include CT, MRI, and MRCP. The gallbladder can make one large gallstone, hundreds of tiny stones or both small and large stones. The reports only signify “multiple stones” and till date even after having such advanced techniques, gallstones can’t be measured in digits. However, most gallstones don’t cause blockages and are painless, also called “silent” gallstones.

Here are some natural tips which we can provide in giving reliefs to gallbladder patients. You can try it for one months will see a result.

These are the natural remedies which in removing the gallstones from body and prevent the further making of it in future

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Using Herbal (natural) and Homeopathy (alternative medicine) components at NHC Life we provide complete prevention of Gall Bladder Stones without any surgical procedures which help in cleansing and restoring the natural immunity of the body.

Gallstone disease is a worldwide medical problem which is increasing day by day due to the poor quality of lifestyle these days, which is one of the major factors for any disease, says NHC Life being committed to caring since 35 years. To prevent gallstones our doctors recommends staying active to achieve or maintain healthy body weight. They says that each patient and his disease is unique and should be treated with utmost care and believe that guidance and counseling after treatments are also required so that stones do not reappear. Following the treatment mantra of saving Gall Bladder, stone specimen removed with our treatment is tested by Dr. Lal Path Labs.

Gallbladder removal is the most common surgery in the world. Every year, more than a million people undergo surgery to remove their gallbladders because of gallstones. Approximately 80% of all gallstones show no symptoms and may remain “silent” for years. Once symptoms arise, they persist and increase in frequency. According to the statistics of the U.S. National Institute of Health, as many as 10% of patients even after surgery, the stones still remain in the bile ducts due to which many people suffer from the risk of bile duct injury. The gallbladder stores bile produced by the liver. This organ aids digestion by accumulating bile and shooting it into the intestine. When the gallbladder is removed, bile- the liquid stored in the organ- loses its storage area, and the liver is forced to adapt releasing bile more directly into your small intestine to aid in digestion.

According to the Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons: “Complications of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy are infrequent but include bleeding, infection, pneumonia, blood clots, or heart problems. Unintended injury to an adjacent structure such as the common bile duct or duodenum may occur and may require another surgical procedure to repair it. Bile leakage into the abdomen from the tubular channels leading from the liver to the intestine has been described.”

The other treatment in conventional medicine is gallstone dissolution by different drugs. These drugs only work on smaller cholesterol stones and may cause diarrhea, hepatic injury, and an increase in plasma cholesterol level, nausea, pain or fever.

Going through intolerable pain, Mrs. Anjali talks about how she was relieved from the pain of gallbladder stones through our treatment. She says, “that whenever the pain emerged she had to go to the doctor and then he would give her an injection for relief, but after few days the same pain occurred, as our doctors suggested that there was no other solution other than “Surgery”, but my husband came across the videos on Natural Health Caren YouTube Channel where it is explained how our Gall Bladder can be saved even after having multiple stones in it. We decided to visit them with all our trust and to our believe I am happy to say that I have not experienced another pain attack since being on the diet and taking the supplements. I really appreciate all the advice by the doctors gave me and even after removal of stones within 4 months I am changing my lifestyle as directed and the results are gratifying. The most surprising thing that happened throughout my treatment journey was even my radiologists didn’t believe and they checked my ultrasound twice to make sure that the stones were removed with medicinal treatment only”.
