hey it’s me again in this video we’re going to continue with the amazing gallbladder

part 2 now in part 1 we talked about the function of the gallbladder

which basically is to help release bile to help break down fats okay and bile B I L E

is a good thing it’s not waste it’s a good thing to help extract nutrients

from the food that you’re eating now if there’s a lack of bile or if there’s

congestion in the gallbladder because of a lack of bile yes you can get pain

around your midsection over the gallbladder but you can also get something

called referred pain now what does that mean well there’s a nerve that goes from

the top of the gallbladder on the diaphragm there all the way up to the

right side into your neck and that’s called the phrenic nerve so it’s a

hidden referred pain because a lot of times you think you have pain in the

right shoulder here but really it’s coming from down here so the typical

pain that will happen is right on the right upper shoulder right through here

and there’s a muscle right here and it attaches to this bone right here called

the scapula into the neck and so this little muscle called the levator anguli

scapula muscle that muscle gets really tight and ropey and a lot of people

massage that thing all the time but it never releases because the problem is in

the gallbladder and so when you step on a dog’s tail he barks through his what

mouth very good that’s my analogy so what happens is that you’ll get pain

right through here it can refer up into the neck it can go into the right side of

the jaw and cause headaches it can go on the shoulder itself and go right around

this scapula right through in here but anything right here is all gallbladder

and liver because it’s backing up through this liberal amount of space so

it can put pressure on that area if that happens and the person sleeps on their

left side because this liver is a little bit enlarged it can compress the heart a

little bit and you’ll feel uncomfortable so the best way to sleep with this

problem is on the right side and on the left side now when this nerve

gets aggravated and it pinches like the third bone right here that’s where it

goes to it can cause a little rotation of those vertebra and and the need to go

to a chiropractor over and over and over and over again so the pinched that nerve

it can even cause pain all the way down the right side and so I’ll see people

that come in with splints on the finger and pain on the hand or the wrist or the

arm and they think the problem is in the hand if there’s no injury I already know

it’s something right here so a little bit of let’s turn this around here if

you were to press on the gallbladder very gently and if you notice relief

right here then we know it’s the digestive system it’s the gallbladder so

what do we do do we take the gallbladder out no okay no we actually start eating

healthy so the best food for the the gallbladder would be a healthy diet like

a lot of greens a lot of vegetable some fat you don’t want to have no fat low fat

because that that’s going to be a problem because you need some fat to

release it so but a lot of salads and vegetables and things like that that’s

what you eat right yeah okay good so I just wanted to explain in part two this

concept of referred pain and how common this condition is yet very few people

know about it so I’m increasing your awareness on the gallbladder so I will

see you in the third part
