Hi Doctor Stoll. A friend loaned me your book and it was so good. You're SO smart! I want to buy my own copy, do you have any left? If so, how can I get one?
My question is, pertaining to gallbladder, if someone suspects gallbladder problems, and they eat a big meal of bacon, sausages, homefries and eggs (eggs cooked in butter) could this meal make a diseased gallbladder act up? And...can you list a few foods that can cause gallstones?

Hi, Lynette.
My book is in its 5th printing. Plenty available.
You have described the perfect way to test out a gallbladder.
In the long run, the most common cause of gallbladder disease is eating lots of refined carbohydrates (sugar is the worst) and avoiding foods with little of no fiber in them.
Hope this helps.
Walt

Didn't Weston Price discover that some of the healthy people that he studied (i.e Eskimos) in isolated regions ate mostly animal food? If I am not mistaken, animal food contains little or no fiber. Yet, those people were without chronic diseases. If it is so, then cause of gallbladder problems may not be lack of fiber.

The meal you detailed is high in fats. Yes, a diseased/dysfunctional gallbladder will have trouble with this meal because it is suddenly called upon to produce enough bile to digest all the fat. The gallbladder would have to be at tip-top shape to respond effortlessly to that meal! Kinda like a "four-alarm fire" for an understaffed and exhausted firehouse.
The foods most destructive to gallbladder function are (1) hydrogenated oils, as in margarine of any kind, (2) most oils eaten after exposure to high heat, such as corn oil, olive oil, flax oil -- all, if used in frying, (3) oils such as peanut oil, canola oil and soybean oil which convey none of the usefulness of the plants from which they are derived.
Consumption of most of our modern grain varieties will lead to a general weaking of the organs in many people. Whole wheat and corn, while touted as "health" foods, are the worst culprits overall.
To order Walt's book, see the links on his main page.

Hi, R.
There are SO many genetic and environmental variables between isolated populations that a cause in one place may be a benefit in another. "One man's food may be another man's poison."
I was referring to the population of the USA.

Doing a liver/gallbladder cleanse would be very good. It removes gallstones. One that Hulda Clark recommends has been done by many with great success. Also Beta TCP from Biotic Research is good at thinning bile which improves gallbladder function. This product has been recommended by Dr. Kim here on board and Dr. Mercola (www.mercola.com). One place to buy this product is dcnutrition.com
