never forget this is years ago

but i was doing this gallbladder

flush to flush out all my stones because

um i read something where you can drink

olive oil lemon juice

and take beet tablets

to flush out hundreds of gallstones

right and clean your body of these toxic

stones

so i poured this it might have been i

don’t know 18 ounces but it could have

been 12 ounces but this huge glass of

olive oil okay

and i put about two ounces of lemon

juice in it

and then i had a handful of beet pills

okay

so i figured i’d just go ahead and do it

all together so i chugged down the beet

pills

slugged down the olive oil slash lemon

juice

and laid on my right side but before i

could lay on my right side these beet

pills solidified

in my throat

and i couldn’t breathe so i almost

died i don’t know if you’ve ever had

this sensation where you ate something

and it kind of got stuck in your throat

and you couldn’t breathe

that’s what happened so i panicked and i

finally relaxed and i got it through

and then i laid on my right side for

about a half hour and what was supposed

to happen was the gallbladder supposed

to flush all these stones out so to make

a long story short um

in the toilet

i noticed these round little green balls

and i’m like wow it worked i flushed out

all these stones so at the time i didn’t

know much about health okay i just i was

just doing all sorts of cleanses to try

to help my body but here’s the thing you

need to know

stones don’t float okay i mean these

gallstones are rocks

they sink and

what i was really looking at

was these little

balls of

bile salts okay so what this so-called

cleanse did is flush out my bile okay so

i i got rid of all my bile and by the

way as i’m about to teach you when you

lose your bile you increase your risk

for getting

stones

so a gallbladder stone is created when

you have a super concentrated amount of

cholesterol

with a low amount of bile

normally the bile is supposed to

emulsify the cholesterol and keep things

thinned so it doesn’t form into a stone

it doesn’t crystallize but when you

don’t have enough bile salts because of

a cleanse like this or other reasons and

then you develop stones

so this gallbladder slash gallstone

flush

actually increased my risk of getting

stones so let me just explain something

you have the liver okay

which makes bile

the bile is then released through these

little tubes called ducts

okay and it starts to drain into this

thing called gallbladder and the

gallbladder is a sac that holds bile it

doesn’t make bile it holds the bile and

so the bile can be concentrated so the

next time you eat it can be contracted

and that bile can be released into the

small intestine

so it can start to help to break down

fats and with the help of the pancreas

that then comes in with certain enzymes

like lipase

to break it down to a even smaller level

so it can be absorbed so you need

everything functioning in the liver and

gallbladder and the pancreas to make

everything work right and so there is

also a hormone that causes this

contraction of the gallbladder and so

what triggers the hormone that contracts

the gallbladder are

fats okay fatty acids

protein

and

hydrochloric acid

from your stomach because you just ate

so every time you eat you actually have

this release of this bile that’s going

to help you start extracting

fat soluble vitamins omega-3 fatty acids

and other fatty acids now if you have

not noticed

carbohydrates

do not help you release bile they’re not

a trigger for the contraction of the

gallbladder so what does that mean it

means basically if you’re doing like a

lot of carbs you’re not getting the help

of the gallbladder too much it’s more

the fat the protein and also

hydrochloric acid now a really common

confusion about gallstones is that

people think that eating a high-fat diet

will cause gallstones well it all

depends on what’s happening with your

bile if you’re producing enough bile

with the fat you’re fine but fat in

itself

causes a release of bile not the

formation of a stone and let me just

tell you again a stone is formed when

you have too much concentrated

cholesterol and not enough bile salts

one of the top remedies for gallstones

is taking purified bile salts so instead

of asking the question what causes a

gallstone a better question would be

what decreases our bile

production and release and so i’m going

to go down the list okay number one

estrogen

estrogen

can inhibit

bile from being produced and released

this is why women who are pregnant who

have a lot of estrogen are at risk for

getting gallstones this is why women who

take birth control pills or start taking

hormone replacement therapy specifically

estrogen replacement therapy

are at risk for gulf stones this is why

women who are estrogen dominant tend to

get more gallstones

than if they’re not estrogen dominant

now the next thing that can cause a

decreased bioproduction is very

interesting it’s a actually being on a

low-fat diet so if you’re a vegan and

you don’t consume much fat or you’re

just on a low-fat diet your risk for

gallstones are going up because it’s the

fatty acids that help you produce and

release

bile so the myth of eating too much fat

will cause gallstones is

just a myth all right the next thing

that will affect your bile production is

having too much cortisol from stress or

prednisone okay a lot of people with

inflammatory conditions are taking

prednisone

uh synthetic version of cortisol and

that can increase the risk of gallstones

all right number four and this is very

important too much insulin

or

insulin resistance

or

a fatty liver which usually comes from

that

and if you have a fatty liver you can’t

produce as much bile because there’s not

as much liver to produce the bile

but insulin in general and insulin

resistance which usually happen at the

same time

is a very common cause of

lowered bile production this is why a

diabetic has an increased risk of

getting gallstones this is why people

that are overweight are more at a risk

for a gallstone and this is why people

who eat too many carbs are at risk for

getting a gallstone all right next thing

on the list is a loss of bile let’s say

you have chronic diarrhea

that is going to cause a loss of bile or

you had gastric bypass

which you’re going to be at risk for

getting gallstones because you’re doing

a bypass of your intestine

stomach and that’s going to decrease

bile and this last one is actually

fascinating

bile is made from cholesterol so

anything that lowers cholesterol like

statins will put you at risk for having

lowered bile and increasing the risk of

gallstones so i hope this increased your

awareness

of gallstones in general and what you

should and should not do but i just want

to mention olive oil is extremely

healthy to consume but probably not in

large quantities like drinking like 12

ounces not the best idea now lemon juice

and apple cider vinegar are really good

for not only breaking down stones and

producing more bile

but gallstones as well as kidney stones

and i think the best video for you to

watch right now is

my video on bile salts it’s actually

quite interesting check it out i put it

right here
