There is a lot of information available that claims that the body needs your help keeping your liver clean. They claim that the liver becomes toxic and there must be certain things done to detoxify it. There are even special diets that will get rid of your gallstones. But, the truth is that the liver was designed to detoxify your body. There is no reason for you to detoxify it.

Let's get rid of the gallstone diet myth first. The claim here is that by using certain things in your diet, you can make your gallstones pass into your bowel and then into the toilet. Supposedly, if you look in your stool when using this diet, you will find gallstones.

But, look at the facts. The tube between the gallbladder and the small intestine is called the bile duct. The end of the bile duct is the ampule of Vater. The final part of the bile duct goes through the pancreas and shares a small part of the tube with the duct from the pancreas.

The ampule of Vater normally has about the same diameter as a pencil lead. So, what do you think would happen if you make a gallstone start traveling down the bile duct? Well, if it is smaller in diameter than a pencil lead, it should pass through without any problem. But, would it be big enough to even notice in your stool? Hardly!

In fact, if you were successful in making a stone larger than that leave your gallbladder and enter the bile duct, you would immediately become very uncomfortable. The pain would start under your ribcage in front on the right - or sometimes in your back - and pass across to the other side under your ribs. The pain would typically also go to your back on the right and cause nausea as well.

But those that push the liver cleansing diet don't ever even mention any possible complications like that. In fact, there are even worse possible complications. If a stone became stuck at the ampule of Vater, the back pressure could also cause inflammation of the Pancreas. That would result in Pancreatitis - a very painful and potentially fatal condition. These people often need emergency surgery. http://binarymetabot.com/fungus-destroyer-book-review/

There are a couple of medications that causes gallstones to shrink ursodiol (Actigall) or chenodiol (Chenix). Fungus Free Protocol But, these medications can take years to work and don't prevent the gallstones from coming back.
