Re: having a hard time
No, get a castor oil pack, and some gold coin grass from www.sensiblehealth.com. The GCG may cause nausea at first, but taken in the right dose (small) over a long period of time it should do wonders for your gallbladder. You may want to talk to Julia about the other herbs that she has, which would be best for you. Chinese bitters, coptis, are fantastic.
Castor oil packs are very healing to the liver and gallbladder. The detox baths will help because of the heat, but you can't stay in them very long. The castor oil pack increases metabolism of the area you apply it too, and this greatly aids healing, espeically if you provide your body with good healing bricks - Vit C, A, Zinc. EmergenC and cod liver oil is a good way to do this, because you don't need a lot of the cod liver oil. The warmth of the castor oil pack will reduce a lot of your nausea. Check the post in the FAQ, there should be a link to a good online source for all the things you need for a castor oil pack. Don't go for surgery until you do a castor oil pack every night for a week and see where it gets you.
