Gallbladder - Liver Connection
The gallbladder-liver connection is very simple. If you have gallbladder troubles you need to look at your liver too. Modern medicine all too often (probably always) treats the symptoms. In natural health we look at the cause and start there. More often than not the problem didn't start where the symptoms show up. You might be wondering how all of this relates to home remedies. Well I'll ask you a question. If you have gallbladder-liver troubles, where do you think they started? Probably not at the swimming pool! I'd have to say they started at home. With your lifestyle, habits, diet, and you. Now if you learn to take the steps to heal yourself, that is a home remedy. The past is the present unrolled for understanding. The present is the past rolled up for action. E. Miller Now lets explore the gallbladder-liver connection. The liver makes the bile to send to the gallbladder to store. The liver also makes cholesterol. The first thing that happens when you eat lots of fatty foods and complex carbohydrates (refined sugar and flour) is the liver has to make more good cholesterol and bile to digest it. That overworks the liver and it slows down. The food you eat is filtered by the liver. The waste gets flushed out in the bile. If there is too much cholesterol, calcium, uric acid, or a few other by products of your diet, it sits in the gallbladder and forms stones. When they move and block the duct work to the gut, you're in trouble. Your gallbladder-liver team are going to suffer. O.K. lets back up a minute. When you go get your cholesterol checked the doctor puts you on statin drugs to lower it. The problem starts there. The drugs you take rob your body of coenzyme Q10. This is something your body makes naturally and you really do need it. It helps the heart work right. Isn't that what you are trying to protect by lowering your cholesterol? (which is really over-rated and just a money making scam, in my opinion.) It also helps your liver do it's job. But it can't protect you and do it's job right without the essential tools. So when you take statin drugs you are killing your heart and your liver. This in turn turns into a gallbladder-liver problem. Life Extensions gives you information about your health before it is publicly released. They do a lot of important research. They also offer blood tests at a very low cost and you can call and talk to their doctors for any of your health concerns. Now that your liver isn't functioning right, your gallbladder is affected. Then if the doctor tells you you don't need your gallbladder and takes it out what happens? Your liver has to do all the work itself. It doesn't have any place to store the bile to digest the fat you eat. It has to constantly make it. Again the gallbladder-liver connection. If the liver is overworked, most of the fat you eat doesn't get digested. Your body actually needs good fats. This is a lot of extra work for the organ that filters everthing you breath and put in or on your body. On top of all the other jobs it does. Liver We all use lotion.

It won't help the other side effects of the drug, but it will protect your heart and liver. 30-100mg a day is the recommended dose. I've heard more, but would talk to your healthcare professional. Foods that are rich in co Q10 are beef (make it lean), chicken, trout, salmon, oranges, and broccoli. The herbs milk thistle, dandelion, artichoke, and licorice are great for the gallbladder liver duo. I have pages addressing both on this site so please read them.
