The Functions of the Gallbladder

Gallbladder Function and Health 

The gallbladder is a small sac-shaped organ beneath the liver, in which bile is stored after secretion by the liver and before release into the intestine.  Bile is a bitter greenish-brown alkaline fluid that aids digestion and is secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. The liver makes bile from cholesterol. When the gallbladder is sick (or has been removed surgically) we may experience signs such as:

• Anorexia or bulimia
• Belching
• 

  Bloating
• Chest pain
• Constipation or loose bowels
• Dizziness
• Enlarged abdomen
• Gas and indigestion
• Hiccoughs
• Intestinal pain
• Nausea even at the thought of eating high fat foods
• Nightmares
• Pain on the right side of the lower rib cage
• Pain under the right scapula (shoulder blade)
• Skipping heartbeat

If you are concerned about any of these gallbladder symptoms and want to discuss your concerns, you can meet with me, Victoria Smith in person or by phone or online. A well care visit is $60.

If the liver does not secret bile, the following may result:

• The fats in our diet would not be digested, since bile emulsifies the fats and breaks it down for the body to absorb it.
• We would have higher levels of cholesterol in our bodies, revealed in blood tests.
• Bilirubin is made from our dead red blood cells and is a pigment. It is a greenish/brownish substance.  It is also part of the bile. If the liver doesn't secrete the bile, the bilirubin would stay in the blood instead of being converted by the liver into a soluble form and flow with the bile. 
• Our skin and the whites of our eyes may appear more yellow in color. (Jaundice)
• Our urine and the stools would be whiter in color since the bilirubin in the bile doesn't reach the intestines.
• If the fats are not emulsified, then they are not being absorbed well. Many vitamins are fat soluble.  
• Vitamins and medications also would not be absorbed from our foods and this could affect our health.  
• The body main source of energy is glucose, but fats also play a part in this energy source.  Without fat our bodies could lack the energy the cells need to function well. 
• Bile is constantly being made by the liver.  If bile stays in the liver instead of flowing, it would destroy the liver cells and they would die and form scar tissue in the liver.  This may block the flow of blood through the liver and the liver may cease to function. 
• The liver cells help with over 500 functions to keep the body well. A damaged liver is is life threatening and should be treated or replaced.  

Here are some suggestions to help aide gallbladder pain:

• Do not overeat.
• Begin meals with the bitter food, as it stimulates gallbladder to release bile, which is essential
  

  

  in digestion.   Examples of bitter foods:  arugula, bitter melon, coffee, curly endive, dandelion greens, dill, Jerusalem artichokes, kale, saffron, sesame seeds, turmeric. 
• Eat a diet high in fiber, with a lot of vegetables.
• Avoid refined carbohydrates, including sugar and white flour.
• Consume Omega 3 fatty acids and other polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats daily, such as Tuna Omega 3 oil, olive oil, avocados, coconut oil.
• Supplement choline intake with meals.  Choline makes the bile more liquefied so that it passes easier through the bile duct (which is really small and can get irritated and blocked, thus causing gall bladder “attacks.”) It also helps with brain function and helps prevent brain fog. Choline bitartrate, choline inositol are both good, but I use Standard Process brand of choline.
• Avoid trans fats.
• Avoid trigger foods like pork, eggs, coffee and dairy, until gallbladder cleansed.
• Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily.
• Exercise regularly.
• Lose excess weight, but slowly.

The following Standard Process supplements are excellent for gallbladder health:

• Cholacol - Supports gallbladder function, healthy elimination and aides both diarrhea and constipation. Gallbladder removed?  This is a source of bile salts which helps enzymes break down fats.  Helpful to take with every meal if gallbladder removed. 

• Choline - is a water soluble essential nutrient, usually grouped within a B-Complex vitamin.  Thins bile, flushing through gallbladder.  Particularly beneficial for skin conditions such as acne, eczema, menstrual migraines, and for those who experience nausea with A-F Betafood.  The three main physiological purposes include 1) structural integrity and signaling roles for cell membranes 2) cholinergic neurotransmission (acetylchoine synthesis) and 3) major source for methyl groups via its metabolite, trimethylglycine (betaine) which participates in the S-adenosylmenthionine (SAMe) synthesis pathways.
• A-F Betafood - Supports normal processing of fats, for cholesterol-metabolism support.  Aides bile production and bile flow in gallbladder.   Best taken at mealtime with Zypan (or Multizyme for acid sensitive individuals).  Especially useful for endurance.  Ideal for liver congestion when fats cause digestion problems, from blocked bile route. 
• Livton - Supports healthy liver and gallbladder function.  Supports normal processing of hormones.  Encourages healthy bowel function.  Encourages healthy function of the organs of elimination.  Helps maintain healthy blood.  Great for those who use too much alcohol.  Do not take at same time of day as iron supplements or if pregnant or lactating.

The gallbladder serves as a reservoir for the bile that is produced by the liver.   Bile is necessary to digest and metabolize fatty acids. The extra bile storage allows the body to effectively metabolize fat-rich foods such as beef, cheese, eggs, butter and so on.   When the liver and gallbladder become congested with toxins the secretion of bile is impaired; and, the digestion of fats slows down or halts.   This imbalance can cause bile material imbalances that lead to gallstone formation.

• Check all that apply to you:

oPain on right side, just below breast bone

oPain after eating fatty meal

oBloating, belching, gas

oFoul smelling bowel movements

oLow energy after eating

oDiarrhea

Gallstones are crystalline formations of cholesterol and calcium that are formed within the gallbladder and biliary tracts.   These stones can vary widely in size from as small as a grain of salt to nearly the size of a golf ball.   Gallstones are a sign of incomplete liver detoxification and pose a significant threat to the body.   Gallstones can be naturally eliminated with an anti-inflammatory diet and cleansing routines.

Most individuals do not experience any outward signs or symptoms of gallstones. As the stones increase in size, they hamper digestion and may cause mild to severe pain in the upper right abdomen area, as well as other symptoms listed above. The pain sometimes is felt as a burning sensation that radiates across the breastbone area. It may or may not be accompanied by constipation.

Gallbladder Infections

When gallstones develop, they sometimes cause infectious organisms such as E Coli and Bacteroids to be lodged in the gallbladder. In turn, this causes further inflammatory stress to the liver and gallbladder. These infections can create life threatening issues and must be addressed without delay. Fresh vegetables, fruits, fermented foods and probiotics may help flush these infectious bacteria and reduce the severity of any infection. As a disclaimer, I always remind readers to visit their physician if symptoms arise.

A healthy diet and lifestyle is necessary to inhibit gallstone formation. A diet rich in phyto nutrient rich organic fruits and vegetables, grass-fed animal products and healthy fat sources such as chia seeds, flax seeds, avocados, coconut and olive oils may improve the health of the gallbladder.  Raw cheese from grass-fed cows and goats is rich content of omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin K2 and D3, which are nutritiously support the gallbladder and helps regulate calcium metabolism to inhibit the formation of gallstones.

Foods that are rich in organic acids and natural enzymes are especially important for the entire digestive system including the liver and gall bladder. These foods include apple cider vinegar (ACV), fresh squeezed lemon, lime and apple juices, kombucha, kimchi and red cabbage sauerkraut. Naturally probiotic enriched, raw dairy products such fermented whey and kefir are extremely beneficial.

Breaking The Fast: A Daily Flush

Did you know that breakfast really means ‘breaking the fast?’ Each evening after dinner, it is important to not eat, until morning when the daily fast is broken. During the fast time, the digestive tract, especially the liver, is working hard to regenerate. Liver health is dependent upon this regular fasting cycle to effectively cleanse and detoxify.  A 12-hour fast between dinner and breakfast is a great daily habit for a healthy lifestyle. If one were to finish their final solid food meal at 8 p.m. they should not attempt another solid food meal until at least 8 a.m. This gives the body four hours to digest and metabolize the food and then 8 hours for the liver to cleanse. Breaking your daily fast with lemon or lime water, 30 or more minutes before solid food, further detoxifies the liver.

Once you incorporate this 12-hour daily detox cycle into your lifestyle you can choose to increase this period of time. As your body becomes more accustomed these regular mini-fasts, increase two to three 16-hour liquid fasts each week and even a 24 hour liquid fast will keep the liver well flushed.

A 16-hour fast may include dinner ending at 6pm and breaking the fast with lemon water at 10am, then a solid breakfast at 10:30am.

These fasting periods are much easier than most people believe. Many individuals will drink fresh vegetable juices, functional beverages made with fermented whey, kombucha and water with lemon. The fluid and nutrients supply the body with very clean energy that enhances the liver's ability to purge toxins and facilitate bowel movements.

Anyone with pronounced and symptomatic gallstones may benefit by going on a liquid diet with lots of water with fresh lemon juice, ACV, fermented whey, coconut kefir and fresh organic vegetable juices. Try to limit solid food to one meal per day with very moderate portions of anti-inflammatory foods.

Gallbladder Flush

This gallbladder flush is not for everyone, but certainly some do it yourself-ers will enjoy trying it.  From reports, it works great for some while others do not notice changes.  A gallbladder flush contradicts many modern medical viewpoints. Gallstones are thought to be formed in the gallbladder and not the liver.   Most medical professionals believe that there are few gallstones, not thousands, that can contribute to symptoms. By the time that acute pain attacks occur, there are typically stones in both the liver and the gallbladder and are large and sufficiently calcified to see on an x-ray, causing inflammation. Typically when the gallbladder is removed, the acute attacks disappear, even though bursitis, other pains and digestive problems remain.

Even people that have had their gallbladder removed produce plenty of green, bile coated stones, with a gallbladder flush. Anyone who cares to dissect their stones can see that the concentric circles and crystals of cholesterol match textbook pictures of ‘gallstones’ exactly.

Gallstones and liver stones are formed by stagnant bile. Insufficient water intake can cause stagnant bile as well as stress and fear. There are plenty of people with chronic illnesses who have reported releasing thousands of gallstones with this flush, that were obviously congesting the bile ducts of the liver. Some stones may impact the gallbladder as well. By removing stones through a series of cleanses and subsequently maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle, the liver and gallbladder may be able to restore their natural efficiency and most symptoms of discomfort or disease in the body may subside. Allergies may lessen or disappear, back pain dissipates and energy and a feeling of well being improve dramatically. Cleansing the liver bile ducts from gallstones can be one of the most important and powerful things you may do for your health.

Individuals with pervasive gallstone problems may clean out their gallbladders by doing this flush twice monthly. For those who do not present symptoms, it is still a good idea to do a flush for prevention, a couple of times a year. Many people lost weight, allergies disappear and a number of ailments are alleviated by flushing stones.

Gall Stones have been reported from teeny tiny, to pea-sized to the size of marbles! The color of the stones vary as well as the size. Some are golden (tan), some bright fresh green pea colored and others dark olive green, black or off white. The hardness varies as well. Some are very soft and fatty while others are hard and crusty with an emerald green inside that has a crystalline pater. Some stones are completely calcified. You may wish to take your stones to your physician, in a glass jar.

It is imperative to wait at least two weeks between flushes, so that the stones have time to roll forward, taking the place of those that were previously flushed.

BI-WEEKLY GALL STONE FLUSH INSTRUCTIONS

Upon waking, the day of the flush, eat only fruits and vegetables, being careful not to consume any fat at all. It is acceptable to consume only fresh lemonade, made with stevia (or xylitol), freshly squeezed lemons and filtered water.

Throughout the day, drink at least 64 - 128 ounces of water. Warm water is best. You may add fresh lemon or lime to the warm water.

At 4pm, stop eating solid food and drinking water.

At 8pm, mix 1 teaspoon of Epsom salts in one cup of organic apple juice. Stir and drink very quickly. You may wish to hold your nose while drinking down very fast.

At 10pm, drink another cup of organic apple juice with 1 teaspoon Epsom salts.

At midnight, get completely ready for bed. Brush your teeth, have a book by your bedside (if you read yourself to sleep), climb into your pajamas. Have ready in a glass jar, next to your bed ¾ cup of freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice and ½ cup extra virgin olive oil. Just before you climb into bed, shake your jar of juice and oil until frothy and drink very quickly. Immediately lie down on your right side. If you are more comfortable on your back, that is okay as well. Be sure to stay VERY still for at least 20 minutes before changing positions. Your stomach will gurgle as the stones are dislodged. Go to sleep.

In the morning, sometime after, or when you naturally wake up, get up and have another drink of Epsom salt and apple juice. Most likely you will have a bowel movement.   Liver stones float, but many people do not see any stones until the second bowel movement of the day. Also, stones can be trapped in feces.

Yes, some people use an old colander to strain their bowel movements, to look for stones.   With a first time flush, people have reported anywhere from 10 to hundreds of stones being eliminated. If you wish to keep them, rinse and place in a glass jar, then freeze. Some people stop eliminating stones after 5 or 9 or even 20 flushes.

As you use this flush, you may adjust the amount of Epsom salts, to produce soft bowel movements. Some people need 1 tablespoon in each apple drink, while others do best with half that amount. The goal is very soft or watery, large volumes of bowel movements.

The flush may cause you to feel weak, as diarrhea can dehydrate and lower energy levels. You may drink some juice 15 minutes after your Epsom salts drink in the morning. Then move onto fruits and solid foods even later in the morning.   Remember, do not repeat this flush more than twice monthly.

How to Grow Watermelon 

I if you would like to grow your own watermelon, here are some tips from my father, my

favorite old-time farmer. My father, now in his mid-eighties, grew up on a farm, and when I was growing up, he would give me a wide array of tips on how to farm.  These special moments stand out in my mind, yet I just couldn't remember why some years watermelon are particularly sweet.   Google didn't know, so at 10pm, I called my pops.  I knew the old night owl would be awake and indeed he was.  

According to my pops, watermelons, all melons in fact, are sweeter when the early growing season is wetter.  Indeed, it did rain and rain and rain this spring here in Northern Kentucky.  

When I told him that I was including his wisdom in my newsletter he laughed and insisted that I need to teach people how to grow good melons.  So here are his instructions.   

1.  Dig a nice hole and put some manure in the bottom (most hardware stores sell manure in bags, but he collected his from the farm).  

2.   Fill the manure over with the soil you removed from the hole, to make a hill.  

3.  Stick your thumb down in the top of the soil and insert three melon seeds, about an inch deep, covering the seeds with soil.  Hills should be two or more feet apart from one another.  

He explained that the roots grow down and feed off the manure.  In 70-80 days, you'll have the sweetest watermelon you've ever tasted! In cooler climates you may need to stat planting indoors and transplant them once the weather cooperates. The soil temperature should be around 70 degrees.  For more information, check out www.alamanc.com.

The Benefits of Reflexology

Benefits of Reflexology

Some of the benefits of reflexology include its ability to stimulate nerve function, increases energy, boosts circulation, induces a deep state of relaxation, eliminates toxins, stimulates the central nervous system, prevents migraines, cleans up urinary tract conditions, speeds recovery after injury or surgery, helps relieve sleep disorders, reduces depression, and relieves pain. Furthermore, it can help ease the treatment of various cancer and even helps to soothe the pains of pregnancy, even those occurring after the baby is born.

Many of us find ourselves on our feet all day at work. Whether you work in an office, a factory, a field, a hospital, or anything in between, there is a good chance that you put a lot of weight and stress on your feet every day. The thing is, that stress can also manifest itself in the other parts of our body. It is a similar situation to back pain. For back pain, people often get massages, so it makes sense that there should also be foot massages, right? Reflexology is much more than a foot massage, but at its foundation, that’s the easiest way to describe the process. This specific area of massage therapy also includes the hands and ears, making it more of an extremity massage than a foot massage.

Reflexology is an alternative treatment for a wide variety of conditions, as mentioned above, and has been in use for thousands of years. The ancient Chinese and Egyptians have documented practices similar to reflexology as a treatment for certain afflictions. It involves the reflexologist applying pressure to specific areas in the hands, feet, and ears that affect certain reflex areas of the body. Imagine that there is a connection between zones of your feet and hands that represent certain areas of your body that can be adjusted or managed through these zones. A lot of the theory behind reflexology has to do with aligning your qi, but even for those who normally don’t invest much in this discipline of health, there are plenty of scientific studies that have supported the claims of reflexologists.

Benefits of Reflexology

Nerve Function: As our bodies age, our nerve endings become less sensitive in parts of our body, particularly in our extremities. That being said, reflexology has been connected with stimulating more than 7,000 different nervous endings in a single session, thereby increasing their function and reactivity. Opening and cleaning out neural pathways can help improve functionality and flexibility of many areas around the body. Neural pathways are like muscles, so it is good to work them once in a while to keep them sharp!

Energy Levels: By aligning the functioning of various organ and muscle systems, reflexology can increase metabolism and energy creation processes within the body. If you need a boost in energy or are always feeling sluggish, perhaps a reflexology session can help put some pep back in your step!

Circulation: One of the most well-known and verified benefits of reflexology is an improvement in circulationthroughout the body, which means that blood and oxygen are being cycled through the body more effectively. This means more oxygen reaches vital organ systems, thereby optimizing their functioning and further increasing the metabolism. This also results in faster healing and re-growth of damaged cells.

Relaxation: As mentioned above, reflexology has been known to open neural pathways, and this sort of free-flowing neural activity results in a more relaxed state in the body, one of reduced stress. For this reason, reflexology can flood your system with relaxation, inducing a state of calm throughout your body and mind. In this same vein, reflexology is commonly used to cure sleep disorders. Insomnia can be a very troubling condition to suffer through, but reflexology helps your body relax and get back to its normal, healthy Circadian rhythms.

Toxin Removal: Reflexology has been shown to improve bladder function and to reduce urinary tract issues. What this means in terms of toxicity is a more efficient system of eliminating toxins and other foreign substances, thereby protecting your body from the various diseases and health conditions that can often arise from a compromised urinary system.

Nervous System Stimulation: The open neural pathways can benefit our central nervous system in a variety of ways. not only will our brain be able to handle the inputs more effectively, thereby speeding up our cognitive powers, but our physical reactions will be faster, our memory will be boosted, and generally, our entire brain will simply work better and faster.

Migraines and Headaches: Reflexology is primarily used by many people as a method of eliminating pain. As an analgesic treatment, reflexology can reduce the severity of migraines and headaches, simply by relieving tension in the muscles that can often result in these conditions. Any headaches induced by stress can also be eliminated, since stress and psychological factors often manifest in the physical symptoms of a migraine. This is actually one of the most popular applications of reflexology.

Speeds Healing: The combination of increased nerve activity and circulation, as well as the more balanced functioning of the metabolism, means that cells re-grow faster and wounds are able to heal faster. Also, the pain-relieving qualities of reflexology mean that patients feel better faster, and are more willing to start physical recovery to get back into life!

Cancer Relief: Although reflexology isn’t connected directly to curing cancer, it has been known to ease the side effects of cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy. It helps these patients get to sleep, reduce anxiety, and also reduces the chances of vomiting or other indigestion issues that are commonly experienced. The more general effects of reflexology, such as clearing neural channels and increasing circulation, can help to slow the spread of cancer and can stimulate antioxidant activity to destroy cancer cells. Research is ongoing in this field.

Pregnancy and Menstruation: Studies have shown that reflexology can be very beneficial for pregnant women, particularly in terms of labor lengths and their need for analgesics during labor and post-partum recovery time. Beyond that, due to many of the health benefits already outlined above, it can reduce the chances of post-partum depression and can also help a woman’s body heal itself faster and get back to its normal metabolic activity quickly.

To schedule a reflexology appointment with Donna, our in-house Reflexologist, call 859-282-0022.

Donna received her Reflexology Certification from the International Institute of Reflexology in April 2003.  This certification allows her to do hand/foot reflexology therapy on clients to help eliminate toxins from the body in order to achieve overall wellbeing, including pain management. 

She enjoys the ability to enrich lives through touch, allowing people relief and relaxation which she feels is important in life.

She was Born in Covington, and has lived the majority of her life in Northern Kentucky.  She worked on my daughter's feet when they were little, and they inspired her to use her 'soothing' touch to help others feel better.

5 Benefits of Regular Exercise

Based on research from www.statisticbrain.com, Less than half of Americans exercise for 30 minutes, 3 times per week despite the benefits of regular exercise, but maybe they don’t really know all the benefits of regular exercise. So we put together list. Hopefully one of the of these benefits will give you the motivation you need to create this very beneficial habit!

Physical health and quality of life - Regular exercise helps reduce the risk of premature death from heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and colon and breast cancers. It increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or good cholesterol) while decreasing triglycerides. This keeps your blood flowing smoothly by lowering the buildup of plaque in your arteries. Overall it increases resistance to various diseases by bolstering the immune system.

Psychological well-being - Regular exercise improves your mood and reduces the likelihood of depression and anxiety. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals (endorphins) that usually leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You will not only feel better, but look better when you exercise regularly which, in turn, boosts confidence and self-esteem. You derive self-confidence both from looking great by being toned and fit, and from knowing that you put in the work and effort to get there.

Increased energy levels - Physical activity delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. It helps the cardiovascular system work more efficiently by circulating blood through your heart and blood vessels. When your heart and lungs work more efficiently, you'll have more energy to do the things you enjoy.

Weight Management - Needless to say, you burn calories when you engage in physical activity. When you burn more calories than you take in, you lose weight. Even taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walking during your lunch break, or just moving around more can help add to your exercise output.

Better sleep - Regular exercise helps you fall asleep faster and into a more deep sleep. Sleep is brought on by chemicals released in your body which are a by-product of your body burning sugar for fuel during the day. The more sugar you burn through exercise and physical activity, the more of these chemicals are released, thus helping you sleep better and deeper. Regular exercise also improves the transition between the cycles and phases of sleep and they become smoother and more regular. Ultimately, your productivity, mood and concentration are greatly enhanced when you are well-rested. 

Other Benefits of Regular Exercise

• Helps maintain and increase muscle strength, improves balance, coordination, reaction time, and flexibility; can even improve mental concentration
• Prevents muscle decay. Inactive people lose muscle fiber at a rate of 3% to 5% every decade after age 30 which amounts to a loss of 30% of muscle fiber by age 60
• Reduces incidence of many illnesses
• Likely to reduce the risk of colon cancer by as much as 50% and may considerably reduce the risk of breast cancer
• Relieves symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and therefore reduces the need for medication
• Helps control hypertension, high blood cholesterol and diabetes.
• Reduces the risk of accidental injury and shortens the recovery period from accident and illness
•
