How to Eliminate Gallstone the Natural Way
Pain and discomforts due to gallstone? It’s no laughing
matter, cause it’s really painful according to a friend of mine.
All of us has a gallstone inside us, but most are too insignificant to cause
much discomfort.
Two months ago, my friend Ann (not her real name),
complained about the pain she felt in her abdomen area. Initially, we
thought that it is a simple gastritis that can be treated by an over the
counter medicine and lots of water intake . However, after taking the over the
counter medicine, the pain did not subside as expected, instead the pain got
worse.
She had no choice but to consult a doctor,
an specialist. She was surprised when the specialist told her that she
has gallstone and recommended for a surgery as soon as she is ready. She
was not ready financially to undergo a surgery, so she consulted another
specialist, for a second opinion. The second specialist has the same
findings and recommendation. Her problem then, was, she don’t have the
financial capability for the surgery since, two of her children are in college,
2nd year and 4th year, and she has no savings.
Another friend of ours advised her to go to the Wellness
Clinic in Daraga, manned by a retired doctor who, according to our friend, an
advocate of natural medicine. As advised, she consulted him.
The next time we met Ann, she was so happy. Her pain
was gone and she resumed her normal routine. She told us that the doctor taught
her how to remove her gallstone the natural way and she showed me her
“treatment process”, which, was also found at the net, when she checked.
According to her, she followed the process as is, then her gallstones
were flushed out, as evidenced by the ultrasonography result. She
was very grateful that her gallstone was treated the natural way, that she did
not undergo the prescribed surgery and therefore she was able to save the money
she loaned for her treatment.
Now, I am sharing with you the treatment process through this blog, hoping
others can benefit from it, too.
The Treatment Process:
- Drink 1 glass (250 ml) 100% apple
juice 4 times a day for 5 days. One
glass at breakfast, 1 glass at lunch, 1 glass at dinner and 1 glass before
going to bed. This softens the gallstones. Eat normally.
- On
the 6th. day, skip dinner. At 6 pm. take a teaspoon of Epsom
salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water
- On the same day, at 8 pm., repeat
the same for purging purpose. It helps to flush out all solid stuff. It
also opens the gallbladder ducts.
- Later that evening, at 10pm.,
drink half a glass of olive oil mixed with half
glass of lemon juice. The oil lubricates the stones to
ease their passage. Lemon juice helps to extract the stones out from
gallbladder ducts. Soon you will purge again. This time you can find greenish
stuff floating in your toilet bowl, that is if you have gallstones.
1 cup =
250 ml, 1/2 cup lemon juice = 3 lemons (approx).
I just hope the information would help those who need it. But, if symptoms persist, please see your doctor.
Be healthy and enjoy
life!

Natural Treatment for Painful Arthritis (BLS Ointment or Balm)
 |
| Garlic, Ginger& Pepper |
Have you heard about BLS
Ointment? It is applied externally to the affected area 3x a day, and it
relieves the pain caused by arthritis. BLS refers to its main ingredients, such
as Bawang (garlic), Luya (ginger) and Sili (red pepper, preferably, “siling
labuyo”. Garlic has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties while both ginger
and red pepper has anti-inflammatory characteristics that can help relieve
muscle and joint pains. . I used to
prepare it for my mother when she had her pains due to arthritis and according
to her, it helped.
How to prepare a BLS Ointment? Its simple.
Ingredients: garlic, ginger, red pepper and oil
(preferably virgin coco oil or olive oil)
Procedure:
·
Mince the garlic, ginger and red pepper
·
Measure ½ cup of garlic, ½ cup of ginger and ½
cup of red pepper
·
Mixed all the ingredients and add 1 ½ cup of
oil
·
In a slow fire, heat the mixture for 10
minutes.
·
Store in a glass container together with the
mixture your BLS ointment.
Optional: To make your
Ointment into a Balm, here’s the procedure:
· Strain, to separate the oil from the solid mixture
· Once again, heat the solution in a slow fire and
add Wax. Bee hive wax is preferred. But
in its absence, you can use a white candle instead.
· Just add wax, little by little. To know that it is the right amount, when the
wax melted, test by dropping a mixture in a plate or saucer. Check when it when it's cold. Test using your fingers. it must be balm-like.
Arthritis refers to inflammation of a joint or a state
characterized by inflammation of the joints. Inflammation is a process in which the body's white blood cells and chemicals help protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses. Its symptoms can be either one or a combination of the following:
·
Redness
·
Swollen joint that's
tender and warm to the touch
·
Joint pain
·
Joint stiffness
·
Loss of joint function
The cause of arthritis is
not fully known, yet, can we still do something to prevent it? Of course, we can! Maintaining proper weight (obesity added
strain to joints), regular joint exercises, proper diet (excess protein can
increase your uric acid) and strengthening immune system can help a lot.
Prevention is better than cure. If symptoms persist, see your doctor!

Stevia Plant, The Natural Sweetener
 |
| Stevia, the Sugar Plant |
High
Level of Blood Sugar? Diabetes? You can,
still enjoy a sweetener using Stevia, the Sugar Plant. Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the sweetleaf plant.
It’s 300x as sweet as sugar, so it only takes a small amount to produce the
same sweet taste as cane sugar. Stevia has been used as a sweetener in
many cultures for centuries, but is only recently gaining acceptance as a sugar
substitute in the United States. It was first introduced in the US in the mid
1990s as an herbal supplement. After much controversy, it was approved by the
FDA.
The following are the
top five health benefits from Stevia:
A no-carb, no-calorie
substitute
For those watching their
carbohydrate or caloric intake, Stevia is both carb- and calorie-free. This
makes it possible for dieters to satisfy sweet cravings without wrecking their
eating plans.
Lowers blood pressure
Stevia has been shown, in
some studies, to lower blood pressure. This makes it an ideal sweetener for
people with high blood pressure.
Lowers blood sugar
 |
| Stevia |
For people with high blood sugar levels, Stevia has the
possible benefit of lowering sugar levels. This makes it a possibly acceptable
substitute for anyone with blood sugar or insulin problems, including
diabetics. However, diabetics should continue to monitor their blood sugar levels and insulin levels after using Stevia
to make sure everything remains in check.
Has antibacterial properties
Stevia, when used orally,
has shown antibacterial properties. This makes it an ideal ingredient in
toothpaste and mouthwashes, as it can aid in fighting cavities and gingivitis.
It has shown the same properties when used topically, and has been used as an ointment
in thetreatment of eczema and acne.
Aids in calcium formation
Some studies, conducted on
chicken eggshells, have shown that chickens who are fed a preparation laced
with Stevia lay eggs with significantly tougher shells. This suggests that
Stevia aids in calcium formation, which would be an ideal side effect
particularly for women and children with growing bones. However, experts warn
that this has not been definitely proven to translate to human calcium
formation.
You can have your home grown sugar plant. In this way, you can make sure that it is organically cultivated. It is
best propagated by cutting stems. This
plant loves the sun and you can plant it on pots. By doing so,you'll have a ready sweetener when you need it.

Basil, a Powerful Anti-bacterial Plant and Source of Health-benefiting Nutrients
The Health Benefits of Basil
Basil is a very good source of iron, calcium, potassium and vitamin A and C. Basil is also a
good source of magnesium, which promotes
cardiovascular health by prompting muscles and blood vessels to relax, thus
improving blood flow and lessening the risk of irregular heart rhythms or a
spasming of the heart muscle or a blood vessel.
Research Findings on Basil
Research studies on basil have shown unique health-protecting effects in two basic areas: basil's flavonoids and volatile oils.The flavonoids found in basil protect cell structures as well as chromosomes from radiation and oxygen-based damage.The volatile oils on the other hand provide protection against unwanted bacterial growth.
Essential
oil of basil, obtained from its leaves, has demonstrated the ability to
inhibit several species of pathogenic bacteria that have become
resistant to commonly used antibiotic drugs. In a study published in the
July 2003 issue of the Journal of Microbiology Methods, essential oil of basil was even found to inhibit strains of bacteria from the genera Staphylococcus, Enterococcus and Pseudomonas,
all of which are not only widespread, but now pose serious treatment
difficulties because they have developed a high level of resistance to
treatment with antibiotic drugs.(September 8, 2003)
Studies published in the February 2004 issue of Food Microbiology,
have shown that washing produce in solution containing either basil or
thyme essential oil at the very low concentration of just 1% resulted in
dropping the number of Shigella, an infectious bacteria that
triggers diarrhea and may cause significant intestinal damage, below the
point at which it could be detected. While scientists use this research
to try to develop natural food preservatives, it makes good sense to
include basil and thyme in more of your recipes, particularly for foods
that are not cooked such as salads. Adding fresh thyme and/or basil to
your next vinaigrette will not only enhance the flavor of your fresh
greens, but will help ensure that the fresh produce you consume is safe
to eat. (March 25, 2004).Basil Tea, an effective remedy for cold and cough ...
I found basil to be a very good treatment for cold and cough, particularly when it's just starting. I drink basil tea three times a day, 10 minutes after breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's very effective! Try it! It's very aromatic, and I'm sure it will help you too, as it helped me.
Instead of buying bottled dried basil or packed basil from
supermarkets, why don’t you plant one in a pot or in your garden?
Picking fresh leaves from your home grown basis is much more fun.
Besides, it can be easily propagated by seeds or by cutting stems.
Ever since i learned about basil's health benefits, it became part of my collections in my garden. I love three of its varieties such as the Thai, Sweet and Lemon basil,
