  Does someone have anything that works to stop a gall bladder attack after
  it starts. I hate taking the heavy duty pain killers they give you in
  the ER. Someone mentioned Curcuma and another something they couldn’t
  remember. I do the castor oil packs a couple of times a week and watch
  my diet. I just did my first flush, but don’t think it was too
  successful as I only had one movement that was greenish in color and had
  one stone about the size of a small pebble. Any advise would be
  appreciated.

  Actually the heavy duty pain killers do just about as much good. They help to
  relax the muscles and this in turn also helps in getting a stone to pass. My
  doctor worked along with me when I was doing the flushes to help in keeping me
  from too much pain. I told the nurse that I don’t like having to take the
  medication but that is when I was told it was helping to relax the various
  actions. I would fairly frequently test to see how I was doing and end up having
  
  to take around four to Five roxicets to keep from having to go to the hospital.
  If I happened to need more I would go to the hospital but that only happened a
  total of four times in ‘99′ and really boils down to two because the first two
  trips were to find out I did in fact have ‘A’ gallstone.
  Some have noted that Epsom Salts has helped them to get through episodes. I’ve
  done castor oil packs and had a foot massage to help a couple of times, but,
  it’s been over two and a half years since my last attack in October of ‘99′ and
  I have only done maybe two more castor oil packs since then.

  True, Dale, at least it does help me, and so do the castor oil packs. In my
  opinion what has also helped me is now I take magnesium every day. I take it
  three times per day and one at bedtime. These are magnesium caps that I get
  from the health food store. I get Solaray brand because I think it’s a good
  product. I have tried magnesium chelate, now I’m using magnesium citrate
  caps. It doesn’t cause diarrhea unless you take a lot, but even 3x a day I
  never have constipation problems anymore at all.
  Another thing, if one knows that they for sure have stones, Beta-TCP is
  wonderful. I take it with my meals. I found out about Beta-TCP from Dr.
  Mercola’s website. He gives it to all his patients who have gallstones. It
  surely does help!
  
  Take care,

  Susie,
  I would like to try Beta-TCP, but I like to know how things work on your body
  before I try something. Exactly what is Beta-TCP, and why is it good for someone
  with gallstones? What does it do to the gallstones, or the gallbladder?
  Thanks,
  Pat

  Agnes has posted in the past that the taking of some epsom salt during an
  attack can bring relief. I can’t remember the dosage, but it was something
  like 1 Tblsp. in a glass of water or juice. Maybe someone else remembers, or
  has tried it, and can reply

  Are you using NSP’s Liquid Chlorophyll? If so, it has
  some peppermint in it for flavor. Maybe that is what is
  helping?? I put in my drinking water all the time.
  Hello,
  About peppermint, Dr. Lewis’ (or Louis) GB/liver cleanse says that if you
  have nausea from taking the olive oil and lemon juice, that one can add a bit
  of peppermint oil to it. I occasionly add a little bit to my olive
  oil/grapefruit juice. It only takes very little and helps with the nausea.

  Curcuma and Coptis is what is recommended by Julia Chaing who sells
  the Chinese herbs. I tried it once when I felt like an attack “might”
  be coming on and it worked, but I am not positive that I was having
  one. Try very hot bath or the hot cold treatment. Shower from hot to
  cold one minute at a time for fifteen minutes. Do the therapy every
  day for healing treatment. I use two bathtubs, one with cold, one
  with hot. I don’t like doing it, but it has worked every time for me.
  All cleanses are different. Don’t give up. Keep at it. Dawn who has
  now done twelve cleanses.

  Hear, hear! I am following Susie’s recommended protocol on both
  products and have not had an attack in a month. I am also no
  longer “testing” my gb with foods I KNOW will bring on an attack. I
  am being a good girl for another month (and probably beyond) until I
  see the new ultrasound results. Dawn

  Also, when I feel an attack coming on I drink alot of apple juice, and I lay
  off the offending food that brought on the attack.

  Well, Susie, I should have had this thuoght a couple of weeks ago. My
  streak is over. Last night I had a 7 1/2 hour attack that nothing
  would stop. I drank ES twice, tried olive oil, hot cold therapy,
  prayer, massage, hot castor oil pack. After almost 6 hours in the
  tub, I finally curled up on a couch and dozed on and off. I was woken
  out of a sound doze LOL, with the word lobelia. I think it was
  inspiration. Unfortunately, I did not stop to think or read what the
  proper dosage was. I took 2 large capsules. The good news is in 15
  minutes, it was over. I have since learned it is a powerful relaxant.
  It is also an emetic (read Ipecac for those of you who are parents).
  I have had waves of nausea and dry heaves on and off throughout the
  day. I cannot even tolerate a sip of water. Any nutritionists or
  herbalists know a “safe” dosage for capsules? I think one would have
  done the trick without the nausea. Also when will this wear off? This
  is a testimony to those who don’t believe herbs are medicinal. Be
  
  very careful. Normally I am very cautious and read first, but I
  really felt it was inspired (and still do) so didn’t stop to think. I
  think I got overconfident with meat. I usually only eat about once a
  week, but over the last two weeks, was out of town both weekends, ate
  out, etc. The greasy, fast food, fried stuff is not a problem for me.
  I see skull and crossbones when I see that stuff. I made an
  appointment today to talk to the surgeon on Aug 1. I’ll probably get
  another ultrasound a few days before. Until then, no meat for this
  girl and I think I will mostly juice. Just take it day by day. Dawn
  One thing that I have to fight is getting overconfident, which

  I forgot to mention that my attempts to stop the pain created a flush
  situation. I have been taking Gold Coin Grass for the last week.
  After a few of MANY visits to the bathroom, I noticed that all
  the “stones” are the same size. Normally they range in size from
  grains of sand to pea size and of course much larger. These were
  absolutely all slightly less than half a pea size. Seems like the GCC
  might be working. Dawn
  The good news is in 15
