Colon Ox

At the age of fourteen, in 1971, I had an emergency surgery to remove several polyps. The doctor also decided to take my gallbladder. He told my parents that the gallbladder is no point in the body. Sunrise now be possible to eliminate the pain of gallstones when I grew up.

Well, the gallbladder does serve a function in the human body. I do not know that my symptoms of severe diarrhea and IBS in my late thirties have been caused by my gallbladder was removed and the natural exhaustion of my enzyme capacity. Too bad it was several years later that I figured it out. The gallbladder is a small sac under the liver. The liver produces bile. Half of which goes to the small intestine and the other half goes to the gallbladder for storage until later use. I could not enjoy great steaks and Mexican (fat) meals.

"I've seen hundreds of patients who have had their gall bladder removed and I never remember anyone telling me that their surgeon advised them to do something to compensate for the elimination of this important body. Just about everyone of them was told they did did not need their gall bladder and it was quite good to have him removed. It is reprehensible ignorance as it condemns the patient to a permanent deficit of essential fatty acids. "Dr. Joseph Mercola. Dr. Mercola also says that more than one million people each year have their gallbladders removed. Many of these operations are not necessary.

Bile is necessary for three things:

It neutralizes the acid in the stomach. Bile breaks down fats so they can be digested and it is a natural laxative for the colon. Without your gallbladder you have a moment very difficult or impossible to digest high-fat meat and meals. You will also not easily absorb much needed omega three fatty acids that are essential to good health.

So you live without a gallbladder. Here are five things I've learned that have made a big difference in my health and energy levels:

1. Avoid all foods rich in fat, meat, dairy products and eggs. You may need to eat smaller quantities of these items. Eat more unrefined grains, vegetables, fruits, organic if possible. Choose fish over meat and eat portions much smaller than you were accustomed.

2. Add the bile and lipase enzymes to your supplement list. These will help overcome your fat for you. Ox bile is the key. It helps to emulsify or break down fats, may help constipation, helps the absorption of fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and essential fatty acids.

3. Add beets or beet powder to your diet. Beets have long been known to help restore the capacity of the liver.

4. Make a Liver Cleanse or rinse once every three or four months. More information is available on my website.

5. Make sure you are getting plenty of fiber. Two points must be clear of undigested food and pollutants because the liver will continue to absorb this toxic mix, make you feel very slow.
