How to treat gall bladder and biliary problems and cysts in the bile ducts naturally

IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO

Do raw juicing using cabbage, carrot, ginger root, mint and apple etc. (see juice techniques and recipes in Raw Juice Can Save Your Life book by Dr Cabot)
Include fresh green leafy herbs in your salads and raw juices – the best liver cleansing herbs are mint, parsley, garlic, chives, shallots, basil, coriander and small amounts of thyme and oregano
Increase the amount of raw vegetables in your diet
Taking digestive enzymes at the beginning of your meals may reduce symptoms
Take a good liver tonic twice daily; ensure it contains Saint Mary’s Thistle, B group vitamins, vitamin C, and sulphur bearing amino acids such as glycine and taurine
Supplement with the amino acids taurine and glutamine and the mineral selenium, which can help the bile quality and reduce inflammation in the liver and bile ducts
Take liquid fish oil – one teaspoon twice daily just before food. Keep the oil in the fridge. Consume other healthy fats such as cold pressed flaxseed oil, macadamia nut oil and olive oil.
Sip one tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar mixed in a small glass of water during your meals
Drink plenty of pure water
Drink dandelion tea and coffee
Be careful not to overindulge on dairy products – the best ones are natural cheeses and plain yoghurt
Hot spices are good for the liver and bile ducts and good choices are wasabi, horseradish sauce, mustard, garlic, curry, turmeric and chilli. If you have a sensitive stomach or gastritis only use small amounts of these spices or avoid them.

Deep fried foods, margarine, cream and icecream
Packaged snack foods and take away foods – such as chips, pretzels, cookies, donuts, hot dogs and pizza etc
Excess sugar – use natural alternatives to sugar such as xylitol or stevia rather than aspartame based products
Excess alcohol
Cheap processed vegetable oil
Sugary soft drinks and diet sodas
Dehydration
