How to get rid of gallstones. Treatment of gallstones with folk remedies

37 comments to the article “Treatment of gallstones without surgery”

Thank you very much! Herbal treatment also takes about 24 months. The result is not always predictable. What do you know about this?

Unfortunately, herbal treatment is almost not studied in medical universities. But properly selected fees will definitely not make things worse. Therefore, such treatment of gallstones without surgery can only be welcomed. It is better to be treated in a comprehensive manner, and if surgery is really necessary, do not delay it.

Good day! What can you say about laser stone removal?

Hello! Can you tell me??? 3 days ago my aunt had her gallbladder with a bunch of stones removed. She was admitted to the operating table after the yellow disease had passed for 12 days. He is still in intensive care. Jaundice does not subside (they want to refer it for plasmapheresis)
What could cause this and what should we expect??? The doctor speaks in incomprehensible terms and very quickly, I don’t have time to remember………..

Most likely, some kind of stone blocked the bile ducts, which is why jaundice developed. But these are just my assumptions.

But then I know absolutely for sure. The duty of the attending physician is to convey information to relatives in a form ACCESSIBLE to them. At the beginning of the conversation, ask the doctor to explain your aunt's condition to you slowly and in simple words. As a last resort, you can address this question to the head of the department or to the chief of medicine (deputy chief physician for medical work).

Good afternoon
After the attack, an ultrasound examination revealed a 13mm stone in the gall bladder,
They advised to just cut it out, although it was said that you can live with the stone for another 20 years, please advise in an accessible form what to eat and whether it is worth rushing to have the operation. Thank you in advance.

You can try to dissolve a 13 mm stone. If it doesn't bother you, then you can probably wait to have surgery, although you should discuss this with your surgeons.

I have already written before about nutrition in the presence of gallstones. Read the article itself and the comments to it.

Good afternoon.
After giving birth, I began to experience regular bouts of wild pain. After my long complaints, I was sent for an ultrasound, and it turned out that there were at least 6 stones of 0.6 cm and inflammation of the gallbladder. I was not prescribed any medications because I am breastfeeding, the only thing was Nimesil to drink during an attack. I read the summary and realized that it’s better not to drink this. Do you know any remedies (folk or homeopathic) to relieve pain during an attack? Thank you.

Unfortunately, I have little understanding of folk and homeopathic remedies... :)

Good afternoon doctor! Tell me, my grandmother has gallstones of 12 and 7 mm, she was sent for surgery. She is 79 years old! Is it dangerous to have surgery on her at this age, what are the risks? Or is it worth using other methods of treating stones? Thank you in advance.

Usually in old age There are many concomitant diseases due to which the patient may not undergo planned surgery. For such an operation you need a positive opinion from a therapist and an anesthesiologist (who gives anesthesia). As a rule, at this age patients undergo surgery very rarely.

However, when it comes to life and death, patients are operated on anyway (surgery for life-saving reasons). Despite the high risk of dying during surgery, refusing surgery will also lead to death.

These are general provisions. In your case, you should discuss this issue with surgeons, as well as with a therapist and anesthesiologist. You need to weigh the possible risks and benefits of surgery.

My wife has a 9 mm stone, tomorrow is the 3rd day in the hospital, in the morning there is a meeting with the doctor, and in the evening we need to make a decision: surgery or does it make sense to dissolve it??

To correctly decide on an operation, doctors take into account not only the size and number of stones, but everything in general: the composition of the stones, the presence of cholecystitis, the dynamics of the disease, the results of previous treatment, the age and concomitant diseases of the patient, his desire and much more.

2Vladimir:
Sorry, I’m not a doctor, but I’ve encountered this problem myself. I have a 1.6 cm stone, and the first thing they said was to remove the gallbladder. After meetings with many doctors, it turned out that the function of the gallbladder was not impaired, there was no dyskinesia of the tract... After three months of a strict diet, the attacks stopped, although before that they were repeated monthly, fine sand began to come out. It is important to understand whether the stones have a destructive effect on the walls of the gallbladder, on its function and on the bile ducts in general - this helps to understand whether you still have time to search alternative paths treatment...

2Emergency doctor: I hope I was not wrong in my statement... sorry for taking the initiative... and thanks for the article!

Svetlana, I wrote the same thing, but in different words. I will say more - surgeons often first offer surgery as a quick and reliable way to solve the problem in one fell swoop. In addition, they receive additional payments for high operational activity (number of operations per 1 bed). That's why surgeons don't really want to treat people conservatively.

😯 sorry again, and thank you again - it was after your article that I became motivated to look for other opportunities.

I have been sick for a year and a half - a gallstone, 1 cm, easily dislodged. Dull pain often, there was one severe colic. The pancreas worries me too. I decided to have the operation. Questions. What is the prevention of stone formation in the future? Since I was young (now 45), kidney stones have also formed, some were cut out, now again a large stone + small ones in the kidneys. Is there something wrong with your metabolism? Why do I have so many stones? Overweight No, active image life, family there.

Alina, it looks like you have a high tendency to form stones. I have already written about preventing the formation of gallstones. As for the kidneys, nutrition there also depends on the type of stones, in some cases they can even be dissolved.

Good day. My wife, a month after giving birth, had severe pain, an ambulance took her to the hospital, they said that there were stones in the gall bladder and she needed to have an operation. They refused the operation. Two weeks later the pain recurred, the skin and eyes turned yellow. After the examination they said that the stone was in the duct. Two days later they did a probing (to remove the stone from the duct), but there was no stone. Please tell me, can such pain be not due to stones? What research can be done to ensure the accuracy of the diagnosis?
Thank you in advance.

Research: main - ultrasound. Other studies are only prescribed by a doctor, for example, cholangiography (x-ray with contrast).

Hello, Doctor. About 3 years ago, the first attack of colic occurred, lasting about 15 minutes. Then the emergency doctor said that it was the stomach. That's what I thought all these 3 years. Of course, youth, etc. There was no talk of any diet. The attacks recurred every 2-3 months. and their duration increased. Then one friend advised me to drink an infusion of oatmeal in the morning - and I never had any attacks, despite the fact that I ate the same as before (fried food, pork, etc...). Then, apparently considering myself recovered, I stopped drinking the “potion.” Recently I was at a picnic, where I ate very, very poorly - as a result, an attack that only stopped under a drip in the hospital after 6 hours. An examination showed stones in the gall bladder, multiple 5-7 mm, slightly thickened walls. I went to the surgeon, sat with him for about 5 minutes, and without asking much, he said to operate. Of course, I asked what this would entail, to which he said - everything will be OK.

Then I decided to look through the Internet and changed my mind. God forbid you become one of those 10% who then develop chronic diarrhea. This is the end - the person is not allowed to travel abroad. And also all sorts of syndromes... Please tell me what examinations I need to do now (in other words, what should I tell the therapist) to find out if it is possible to get rid of them without surgery on the gallbladder? The stones don't seem to be big. There is a lot of information about Ziflan on the Internet. What do you think if you've heard of it? In general, what dangers can there be when expelling gallstones? Thanks in advance, I'm really looking forward to your answer.

Periodically suffering from attacks of hepatic colic, it was necessary not to wait, but only then to be examined and treated.

The scope of the examination depends on the capabilities of the clinic, but since you have already been examined in the hospital, it is unlikely that the clinic will be able to offer anything better.

I haven’t used Ziflan, consult your surgeon and therapist. Judging by the description, the drug is not bad.

There is usually only one danger when expelling stones from the gallbladder - blockage of the ducts, which requires surgery. But if you dissolve the stones slowly, there shouldn't be any problems.

Good afternoon.
I visited your site and couldn’t help but write to you. I would like to express my respect and gratitude to you in advance for not ignoring requests to you and responding to them. I hope that you will answer me too.

The fact is that I am 23 years old, an ultrasound recently showed that I have 4 stones in my gall bladder. 0.8 cm each. But they practically do not make themselves felt. I wanted to ask: during pregnancy (my husband and I are planning a child in the near future), is there a danger in this situation for me or for the child if these stones are not removed? Let me explain: I heard that if a woman has gallstones and she is pregnant, then there is a possibility of termination of pregnancy. Since the fruit puts pressure on the bladder, the stones, in turn, also make themselves felt. And in this case it is necessary to terminate the pregnancy.

I would really like to know the answer: I need to remove them so that there are no problems during pregnancy, or I can calmly plan for a child and not “touch” the stones.

Thank you in advance, best regards, Katya

Dear Katerina, unfortunately, your question is from the field of obstetrics and gynecology. I have little understanding of this. You should contact antenatal clinic. They should know, because there are many women with gallstones. Although, of course, before pregnancy you should, if possible, get rid of health problems.

Thank you very much for your answer

Good afternoon, thank you for your clear presentation 🙄

I am confused by the different locations of the gallbladder in the diagrams and drawings: my gall bladder looks like what you show - the bottom of the bladder is higher than the neck of the bladder.

But in many pictures I see that the location is different - the bottom of the bubble is at the bottom, so the difference in location is 45%!!! As I understand it, the location of the bubble is not described and is not taken into account when making a diagnosis. Does this matter and which position of the gallbladder is more “correct”?

Thank you!!!

The size, shape and location of the gallbladder are variable, so where exactly the bottom is is not important. The main thing is not the form, but the content. 🙂

Thank you!
It just seems to me that this matters when determining the likelihood of stones getting into the bile ducts (in a horizontal position this will be more likely) and also matters when prescribing choleretic and antispasmodic drugs. Maybe I'm being too wise 🙄

If the stones “want” to get into the channels, they will get there in any case. After all, during the day you not only walk, but also lie and bend. In addition, the liver is not fixedly fixed, but is connected by ligaments to a movable diaphragm. And the gallbladder is able to contract thanks to the muscle layer in the wall.

Hello!!!
My name is Elena. A 1.2 cm stone was found in my gall bladder.
I am a disabled person of the 1st group, I suffer from myopathy. I'm afraid to have surgery. I don't know what to do. I haven't done any tests yet. I don’t even know what I can do. What advice could you give me?

First, you need to contact your physician and surgeon about non-surgical treatment. If you have enough money and the stones begin to dissolve, get treatment. If not, you need to think about surgery.

Gallstones can cause quite serious complications if they block the bile duct. The most radical method of treating cholelithiasis (GSD) is surgery. It is indicated for frequent attacks of colic and the occurrence of complications. In other cases, patients are prescribed conservative treatment methods. These include medications, promoting the splitting of stones, as well as hardware methods that allow them to be crushed using ultrasound or laser. At home, you can use only the first option to remove stones, but all medications must be strictly prescribed by your doctor. As an alternative to drug therapy, folk remedies, a healthy lifestyle and diet are recommended.

Symptoms

Gallstones cause the following characteristic symptoms:

• Hepatic (bilious) colic, manifested by cutting pain in the right hypochondrium and transmitted to the right shoulder area. Pain syndrome can last up to several hours.
• Vomiting and nausea.
• Darkening of urine.
• Yellowness of the sclera.
• Increased body temperature (observed when an infection is attached).

Yellowness of the sclera in cholelithiasis

Pain in gallstone disease manifests itself against the background of mental or nervous stress, consumption of spicy, spicy and fatty foods, and hypothermia. Signs of the disease can vary. Sometimes there is a feeling of heaviness in the epigastric region, shortness of breath, bloating and diarrhea.

The sizes of stones in the gallbladder vary. The smallest are only a few mm, and the largest - from egg. The doctor can detect large stones by touch, but small ones can only be detected by ultrasound.

Often stones do not cause symptoms for many years. But when the bile ducts are blocked, they prevent the release of bile, which causes severe attacks with convulsions and loss of consciousness.




Gallstone disease poses a risk of complications. When the cystic duct is blocked by a displaced stone or its fragment, fistulas, the development of peritonitis and infection of the biliary tract may occur.



Folk remedies

To get rid of stones without surgery, you can use various folk recipes. Even ordinary decoctions and infusions of herbs and other natural products promote the removal of stones.

It is worth remembering that funds from traditional medicine are able to cope only with small formations. In addition, they should only be used after an ultrasound scan, as there is a risk of dangerous complications.



Chicken bile



Chicken bile

Bolotov’s technique for breaking down gallstones is based on the use of chicken bile. To do this, you need to purchase fresh chicken liver and carefully separate its gall sac, the contents of which should be drawn into a syringe.

Dandelion

To remove gallstones, use fresh dandelion leaves. Collect 2 bunches, squeeze out about 1 tablespoon of juice from them, add a little water and consume 2 times a day half an hour before meals. The course of treatment is 2 months.

Fresh dandelion is also added to salads. Up to 5-6 stems of the plant are consumed per day, and they are cut close to the ground. The stems are thoroughly washed, the flowers are picked off and consumed raw, washed down with water.

Corn silk

The used sunflower roots are saved and then used to prepare a new decoction in a volume of 3 liters, but this time the product is boiled for at least 10 minutes. The raw materials are still suitable for the third portion, but the cooking time is increased to 20 minutes. For the fourth time, fresh sunflower roots are used.

Healing herbs

To eliminate congestion, spasms and inflammatory processes in the gallbladder, medicinal herbs are recommended. Decoctions and infusions based on them help remove small stones and sand.

The following stone-dissolving herbs are distinguished:

1. 1. Creeping wheatgrass. The stems of the plant along with the leaves are thoroughly washed, scalded with boiling water and crushed using a meat grinder.

Diet

To successfully cure gallstone disease, it is necessary to review the diet. This approach using the tools described above will achieve the best results.

For gallstones, the diet is based on reducing fat intake. Its daily dosage should not exceed 65-90 g. Moreover, no more than 350 g of carbohydrates should be consumed during the day.

You should remove from your diet:

• spices;
• egg yolks;
• coffee;
• fresh bread;
• mayonnaise;
• carbonated drinks;
• beans;
• peas;
• fresh onion;
• cabbage;
• mustard;
• chocolate.

The patient's diet should include chicken, fish, vegetable soups, and low-fat dairy products. If stones form, dill should be added. It must be used systematically.

Bananas, apples, strawberries, pears, blackberries and citrus fruits are allowed. At the same time, you should give up nuts, plums, almonds, and currants. Fruit compotes are useful for patients.

The development of stones is quite common. This is due to the fact that people who have such a problem initially turn not to a specialist, but to people who have already had such a problem.

Remember! There is no need to self-medicate, because complications may arise as a result. Initially, you will need to consult with a highly qualified specialist, as well as undergo all the examinations that he recommends to you. When you undergo diagnostics and the doctor determines the size and number of stones, only then will the necessary adequate treatment be selected for you.

In some cases, the only option is surgery. Under certain circumstances, emergency operations are carried out, so contacting a specialist is a mandatory procedure, thanks to which you can prevent the development of various complications, as well as save an invaluable human life.

Gallstones - what are they and why do they form?

When stones occur in the gallbladder, it develops. Typically, this condition most often develops in adult women, especially those who are overweight.

Initially, the appearance of coenzymes occurs due to a violation of metabolic processes in the body, as well as due to a hormonal imbalance. The development of this condition can also be provoked by the process of stagnation of bile in the gallbladder.

What Causes Stones:

• the presence of diseases such as;
• during pregnancy, the uterus begins to put a lot of pressure on the gastrointestinal tract, causing difficulty in the outflow of bile;
• a sedentary lifestyle can also provoke this condition;
• significant weight loss;
• disruption of the pancreas;
• excessive use of foods that contain a lot of cholesterol;
• poor nutrition;

Signs of stones

When stones are in the gallbladder, the patient may not even realize that they are there. The first signs begin to appear only when they enter the duct. It is after this that the patient may experience pain in the right side, a feeling of bitterness in the mouth, belching, and nausea. When biliary colic occurs, the patient experiences severe pain in the right hypochondrium or in the abdomen. In some cases, pain symptoms may spread to the right arm.

If the stone is small, then it can pass through the ducts and, once in the duodenum, leave the body with feces. This option is very good.

If the stone is larger and it is not able to pass, then the ducts become clogged. In this case, there is a risk of developing acute form cholecystitis or jaundice. Stones should be removed as quickly as possible. But how to do that? Initially, we will understand what types of these stones there are and by what and how they are distinguished, and after that we will describe methods of how to eliminate them.

Composition and size

There are 4 types of stones, depending on their composition:

• bilirubin;
• cholesterol;
• calcareous;
• mixed.

Mostly stones are mixed. IN pure form they are extremely rare. The sizes of the stones also vary. They can be from 1 m to the size of a chicken egg.

Dissolving gallstones without surgery: principles of drug treatment

To eliminate stones without surgery, but only with the use of medicinal treatment, you need to use two types of drugs:

• ursodeoxycholic acid;
• chenodeoxycholic acid.

These drugs help lower cholesterol and change the composition of acids in bile.

Such drugs can only be used when indicated. Indications for therapy:

• the gallbladder contracts normally, stones can pass through the ducts without problems;
• the size of the stones should be from 5 to 15 mm;
• according to their chemical composition, stones should only be cholesterol;
• the organ is filled no more than half;
• Possibility of using funds on an ongoing and long-term basis.

There are also contraindications for treatment. These are:

• gastrointestinal and kidney disease;
• period of breastfeeding and gestation period;
• It is important to exclude the use of drugs that help lower the level of gastric acidity and products that contain estrogen.

How to get rid of gallstones without surgery

Therapy without surgery should be carried out using three methods.

Percutaneous transhepatic cholelitholysis

In practice, this method is not often used. Thanks to this method, formations of any size and origin can be dissolved. The option under consideration is that through skin A catheter is inserted into the gallbladder. A stone-dissolving agent begins to be supplied through it. After a certain period of time, the procedure is repeated. In 2-3 procedures you can get rid of 90% of stones.

The ultrasound shock wave begins to crush the stones into small pieces, after which they are removed from the body under the influence of special medications, which contain ursodeoxycholic and chenodeoxycholic acid. This option is used if the number of stones that need to be removed is no more than 4.

This option assumes that a strong wave is directed at the stone, and at the point where it is directed, the energy increases greatly. This is how the strength of the coenzyme is destroyed and it is divided into pieces.

Small elements are eliminated from the body without problems, but to eliminate large ones, it is necessary to use medicinal digestion using acids.

This technique is used if the number of available coenzymes is no more than 4. An important condition for using this method is that the size of cholesterol coenzymes should not be more than 3 cm in volume.

Regarding contraindications, this method is prohibited from being used by patients who have an abnormal heart rhythm, diseases such as pancreatitis, impaired blood clotting, cholecystitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers.

This option can cause certain consequences:

• gallbladder tissue may rupture;
• bile ducts can be blocked by stone fragments, resulting in jaundice;
• there is a risk of relapse.

Traditional methods of removing stones from the gallbladder without surgery

The problem can also be dealt with by using freshly squeezed juices from vegetables. This option will help eliminate stones and also improve the body's metabolism.

So here are some recipes:

• Pickled cabbage juice. It is recommended to consume 100-20 ml three times a day before meals. Duration of treatment - no more than 2 months.
• Beetroot decoction. Boil 2 medium-sized beets and peel them. Squeeze the juice and drink 50 ml of this decoction 4 times a day before meals.
• Lemon juice. The juice of this citrus should be diluted in half with hot water. The drink should be consumed three times a day, 1 glass. All other juices should be drunk in a similar way.
• A decoction of birch leaves. Dry birch leaves (2 tbsp) need to be poured with boiling water in a quantity of 200 ml. Cook until the volume has evaporated by about 50%. The decoction should be taken and consumed before meals during the day. Duration of treatment - 3 months.
• Corn silk. This folk remedy is very effective in eliminating stones from the body. To prepare an effective decoction you need to take 1 s. l. of this component and pour 1 liter of boiling water. After an hour, strain the infusion. Use 1 tbsp every 2-3 hours. spoon. An extract purchased at a pharmacy is also suitable for use. It should be drunk according to this scheme - twice a day before meals, 30 drops.
• Carrot juice. 10 parts of carrot juice should be combined with cucumber juice and beetroot (3 parts each).
• Olive oil. Drink 1 tsp orally daily 30 minutes before meals.
• Herbal infusion. You will need to take equal parts of the herb wormwood, celandine, sweet clover, gentian, valerian and add 250 ml of boiling water to this composition. Let it brew and strain. Drink the resulting drink in the morning and evening, 1 tbsp.
• Radish juice with added honey. You need to grate the radish on a fine grater and collect all the juice. After this add a little honey. This method also helps cleanse the liver.

The best way to remove stones

To remove stones from the gallbladder without surgery, many different methods are used. But how safe are each of them?

In practice, many cases have been recorded when the grinding of stones is caused by a flow blockage. In such a situation, an urgent operation is necessary. Therefore, such options not only may not give the desired result, but also be life-threatening.

The safest way to remove coenzymes is through drug therapy. This option is used by gastroenterologists. Having received the desired result, it is necessary to supplement it with the use of medications prescribed by the doctor and proper diet. IN otherwise the stones will form again and you will have to think about how to remove them.

Diet therapy to follow:

• you should not overeat, moderation should be observed in food;
• it is important to exclude soda, chocolate, spicy foods, marinades, smoked foods, and fried foods from your diet;
• It is important to eat plenty of raw fruits and vegetables;
• provide four meals a day.

conclusions

After obtaining the desired effect of treatment, the first thing you should pay attention to is the patient’s lifestyle. It is necessary to determine whether he adheres to proper nutrition, to understand what kind of work a person has. If she is sedentary, then he needs to walk as often as possible and do exercises aimed at maintaining weight. If a person often drinks alcohol, then he should definitely give up such a bad habit.

People who are obese should definitely monitor their own weight. If there is a need, then you should completely change your lifestyle, eliminating everything that can cause the development of gallstones.

After the first symptoms of colic appear in the area under the right rib, you urgently need to consult a gastroenterologist. After consultation, you will be able to be examined and determine the number, size, and composition of the stones, and will also determine which option for getting rid of them is most suitable for you.

It must be remembered that removal of stones without surgery can only be carried out after a doctor’s opinion. Only a highly qualified specialist will be able to advise you on how to remove stones, based on your complaints and the results of the research.

All those indicated have contraindications. Therefore, before starting a therapeutic course, you need to carefully familiarize yourself with them. You need to understand that stones can form again, in which case, to eliminate them, you will need to undergo a new therapeutic course.

And the most important thing that should not be forgotten is that it is easier to prevent a disease than to treat it. It is important to take care of your own health - watch your own weight, eat the right food, play sports, try to spend a lot of time on fresh air.

Only a doctor can choose a method for removing gallstones based on tests and the patient’s health condition. Before you get rid of gallstones without surgery, you should know the main reasons for their occurrence. Addiction to high-calorie foods containing a lot of cholesterol, a sedentary lifestyle, chronic digestive disorders, in which the release of bile into the intestines slows down, and hormonal imbalances in the fairer sex (during pregnancy, menopause) often contribute to the thickening of the contents of the gallbladder. Over time, stones form in it - dense formations consisting of bile enzymes. The person begins to feel heaviness in the right hypochondrium and other accompanying symptoms.

The most popular way to cure these formations is surgical, which involves cholecystectomy - removal of the entire gallbladder (GB) along with its contents. However, you should not immediately get scared and prepare for surgery. Under certain conditions, it is possible to get rid of mineral deposits using conservative methods.

Delay of contents in the HDD along with high level animal fats in food first lead to the appearance of grains of sand. In fact, these are the smallest stones. At the same time, the disease still practically does not manifest itself in any way. Mild symptoms typical of cholecystitis (malaise, heaviness in the right hypochondrium) may be disturbing. If a person does not change his lifestyle and does not begin treatment at this stage, the grains of sand become larger, stick together and turn into large stones. As a rule, stone formation is a rather long process that lasts for decades.

However a large number of negative factors, joining concomitant diseases can speed it up a lot. The rapid progression of cholelithiasis is indicated by sharp stabbing pains that appear after eating foods high in animal fat. Colic can occur when shaking in transport. Sometimes the pain increases, starting with discomfort in the epigastrium, gradually intensifying, radiating to the neck, under the scapula. The attack of pain goes away within 6 hours. When removing a large stone, blockage of the bile duct may occur, accompanied by severe pain.

The presence of severe stabbing or cutting pain may indicate the presence of stones in the gallbladder. big size. If you have these symptoms, you should definitely contact a gastroenterologist or surgeon.

When pain appears in the epigastric region and suspicions of the presence of stones, many patients immediately begin to independently search for and use various recipes and medications. This is strictly not recommended. Before you start getting rid of stones in the gallbladder, you should go to a medical institution and undergo an examination. First of all, you need to do an ultrasound to verify the presence of stones, their size and specific location.

In some cases, when ultrasound results are not enough to make an accurate diagnosis, the doctor may prescribe an oral cholecystography. This - special type examination of the gallbladder, in which the patient swallows substances that contrast the contents of the gallbladder. The images show the entire bladder and its ducts in more detail; even small stones can be detected.

Methods of drug therapy

The stones can either be cut out (surgical removal) or dissolved using special medications. Last method called oral cholelitholytic therapy, which uses agents containing chenodeoxycholic or ursodeoxycholic acid. They help reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines and its entry into bile.

You can treat with this method in the following cases:

• the stones must have a cholesterol composition, which is determined during the analysis of the contents of the gallbladder, isolated during the duodenal intubation procedure;
• the size of all detected objects should not exceed 1.5 cm, the ideal size is 5 mm; larger mineral formations are difficult to treat with drugs;
• The gastrointestinal tract is filled with stones to a maximum of half;
• the contractility of the gallbladder walls is normal, and the patency of the bile ducts is good;
• body weight does not exceed average values;
• The patient’s health allows him to take these medications long enough and regularly.

During the treatment period, you should avoid taking other medications that may promote stone formation (including estrogen-containing contraceptives) or prevent the full penetration of chenodeoxycholic and ursodeoxycholic acids into the gallbladder (various antacids, activated charcoal, etc.). In case of chronic diseases of the liver, stomach or intestines, it is generally not recommended to remove mineral deposits in the gallbladder using the above-described drugs.

If during treatment the patient begins to experience pain of varying degrees of intensity with a gradual increase, it is necessary to stop taking the medications and consult a doctor.

When choosing this method of therapy, the doctor prescribes a course of medication from six months to two years with mandatory periodic monitoring and testing. The duration of treatment and dosage of medications will depend on the size and number of stones, the age of the patient, and the stage of gallstone disease. Efficiency can reach 80%. The dissolution of solid particles will be complete or partial.

This treatment for gallstones without surgery has side effects. These include a fairly large number of relapses after the end of the therapeutic course (up to 70%). If the factors that influenced the appearance of cholesterol deposits are not eliminated (sedentary lifestyle, poor diet), the quality of bile will deteriorate, which will again provoke stone formation.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy method

This method means crushing petrified pieces of bile using the external influence of a shock wave (the main thing is to precisely focus the impulse) and their subsequent natural removal from the body. The method can be used for patients with a small number (1–4 pieces) of cholesterol stones, each no more than 3 mm in size.

The main types of lithotripsy:

• the impulse is created by a spark discharge (through an elastic membrane);
• the shock pulse is generated using an electromagnetic field;
• piezoelectric pulse generation.

Several sessions are performed. First, primary fragmentation of the formations (cracking) occurs. Next, the stones are fragmented into small particles, which are independently excreted through the bile ducts into the intestines. This method can be combined with medication.

Shock wave lithotripsy is not suitable for diseases associated with blood incoagulability, with installed cardiac pacemakers, gastric ulcers, etc. Pregnant patients cannot be treated with this method.

TO side effects This method of treatment should include a high probability of blockage of the bile ducts with large particles of destroyed stones. Due to the vibration of stones caused by exposure to ultrasound, the walls of the gallbladder can be damaged, followed by their inflammation.

Homeopathy, herbal medicine and alternative treatment

It is difficult to say how effective homeopathic methods are in treating gallstone disease, since homeopathy causes too much controversy in the medical community. Some representatives of this alternative medicine, promising the natural removal of mineral deposits, even recommend urine intake to their patients. Such procedures should be treated with great doubt. The risk of harm to health far exceeds the likelihood of positive dynamics when taking suspicious homeopathic medicines.

Herbal preparations are generally not able to get rid of stones once they have already formed. Moreover, choleretic infusions and decoctions can provoke the removal of stones. If the size of the stones exceeds the diameter of the ducts, this can lead to partial or complete blockage of the latter. For this reason, herbal medicine can only be used as an auxiliary method and only with the permission and under the supervision of the attending physician.

There are other unconventional ways to get rid of cholelithiasis. For example, treatment according to Boltov-Naumov, when chicken bile is taken orally, and it is necessary to adhere to a strict diet. It is assumed that the supply of bile from the outside will contribute to the softening and subsequent removal of stones from the body. GB should be treated in this way from several days to several weeks.

Patients are also encouraged to take black radish juice. It is believed that it is capable of dissolving mineral deposits in the gallbladder. The effectiveness of these techniques has also not been proven. Having decided to independently take these substances, the patient does so at his own peril and risk!

If a patient is afraid of any surgical procedures and hopes to remove cholesterol deposits in the gallbladder without any incisions, he should adhere to clear nutritional principles, without which the effectiveness of therapy will be low and the risk of relapses will be high.

Non-surgical treatment of gallstone disease involves following a strict diet. It is better to eat often, in small portions 5-6 times a day. Lard, fatty meat, smoked meats, salty or spicy foods should be completely excluded from the diet. Alcohol is strictly prohibited in any form!

You should eat more foods containing fiber (porridge, vegetable salads). From meat dishes would be better suited boiled or baked poultry, rabbit meat, lean beef, various types of fish. It is not recommended to take broths. Olive oil can be used as a fat substitute in reasonable quantities.

Moderate physical activity will also have a positive effect on the patient’s condition. Walking in the fresh air and light exercise will help maintain the tone of the gallbladder and improve general health person. And you must follow the recommendations of your doctor.

Based on materials from the newspaper “Vestnik “ZOZH””: reviews of those who dissolved gallstones using folk remedies

How to dissolve gallstones with dandelion juice
The woman began to experience pain in the right hypochondrium, colic, and sometimes vomiting. Doctors discovered gallstones and suggested surgery.
By chance, on the train, from her compartment neighbor, she saw a brochure “Treatment with juices”, there was an article “Dandelion juice crushes gallstones.” I decided to use this folk remedy for treatment. As soon as the snow melted in the spring, I began to pick dandelion leaves. In the evening I collected 2 bunches of leaves, rolled one through a meat grinder, squeezed out the juice, it turned out to be about 30-40 g, diluted it 2 times with boiled water and drank 30 minutes before meals. I washed the second bunch and put it in a bag in the refrigerator - I made juice from it in the morning. And so I was treated for 2 months. In the summer I prepared the juice 3 times a day and added dandelion leaves to the salad. In August, I had an ultrasound and found no sand or stones in my gall bladder; there was no surgery.
After retiring and moving to the country, the woman added dandelion leaves to salads all season long and made jam from the flowers.
The juice should be prepared for one serving and not kept in the refrigerator to avoid poisoning. A friend of hers used this folk remedy, and she also managed to avoid surgery. (HLS 2001, No. 10 p. 22)

Treatment of gallstones with potatoes
The woman underwent surgery to remove her gallbladder. Out of naivety and lack of basic medical knowledge, she thought that she would not have problems with stones in the future. But two years passed after the operation, and pain began to arise after eating foods such as bread and butter, cookies, cakes, chocolate candies. They explained to her that stones can still form in the bile ducts.
Then she came across a recipe for a folk remedy for gallstones in a healthy lifestyle for 1999. She did everything according to the recipe and, as if she was born again, she felt so good, she could eat “forbidden” foods and not feel pain.
Here is the recipe: take 1 kg of potatoes, remove the “eyes”, rinse well, add six liters of water and cook in their skins as follows: first bring to a boil over high heat, and then cook over very low heat for 4 hours. Then lightly add salt, make puree, directly in the pan, without draining the water, the puree should turn out to be very liquid, and leave to cool overnight. When the puree “settles”, clear water should form above it. Drain it into a separate container. This is a miracle drug. The liquid is approximately 3 liters. It must be poured into liter bottles and placed in the refrigerator. Discard the remaining puree. Store the water in the refrigerator. Drink 2 tablespoons 3 times a day 30-40 minutes before meals for 40 days. If suddenly this quantity is not enough for 40 days, cook more. If it turns sour, don’t drink, pour it out and make a new decoction. (Healthy lifestyle 2001 No. 17, p. 19, Healthy lifestyle 2001, No. 22 p. 18, 2012, No. 12, p. 9)

An ultrasound showed that the gallbladder was full of stones. They treated me and again offered to remove the bubble, but I did not agree. Once a neighbor gave me a newsletter to read, and I immediately wrote out “HLS”. I started drinking Shevchenko's mixture. A year later I had an ultrasound. I asked the doctor if there were a lot of stones, and he replied that there were only a few floating around. I was so happy. And now I want to say a big thank you to Nikolai Shevchenko.

To do this, it is useful to take stagnation of chicory root, dandelion, tansy flowers, and birch leaves. These decoctions should be taken with caution in small quantities, as they can stimulate the movement of stones into the bile ducts and restrict them there
When starting to take herbs, some patients experience pain in the right hypochondrium, which is associated with the passage of sand and small stones; this process does not require discontinuation of herbal treatment. Begin treatment of cholelithiasis with minimal doses of infusions: 1 tsp. per 500 ml of water, take it for 7-8 days, and then gradually move to 1 tbsp. for 500 ml of water. Take 0.5 cup infusions 4 times a day for 20 days, then a break of 10 days and a new course.

Folk remedies for sand in the gallbladder
Gallstones do not suddenly appear in the gall bladder; sand forms first, and if it is not removed in time, it becomes compressed and forms stones. Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of sand in the gallbladder first. First you need to undergo an ultrasound and make sure that there are no stones, and then stock up on medicinal herbs and patience.
An infusion of immortelle flowers helps the reader get rid of sand in her gall bladder. She brewed 1 tbsp. l. in a glass of boiling water and drank 1/2-1/3 glass 3 times a day 20-30 minutes before meals. The course of treatment is a month or more until the sand disappears.
It will last for 3-4 weeks, and during this time you must adhere to a diet, remove everything fatty, spicy, and salty from the table. Eat more plant foods, especially beets.
The roots of dandelion, burdock, and elecampane are very useful; it is better to dig them in spring or autumn, then wash, chop and dry. Mix the crushed roots in a ratio of 1:1:1, 1 tbsp. l. Brew the mixture in a thermos with a glass of boiling water for 8 hours. Drink 1/3 glass 3 times a day 30 minutes before meals. This is a very effective remedy for sand in the gallbladder - it begins to come out very well.
To avoid stagnation of bile and the formation of sand in the gallbladder, you definitely need to move more. This exercise is very useful: lying on your back, pull your legs bent at the knees to your chin 10 times, both legs at the same time, then alternately each leg 10 times. These exercises promote the normal movement of bile along the bile ducts. (HLS 2010, No. 8, p. 8)

I drank for a long time. The effect is stunning. The sand kept falling, and a lot came out with feces. I even had to do enemas to wash the sand out of my intestines. After this, my health improved dramatically. After 2-3 years, for prevention, it is necessary to carry out the same course.
8 years have passed since then, the woman was checked by ultrasound several times, no stones or sand were found in her. (HLS 2010, No. 21, p. 33)

Review of the treatment of cholelithiasis with this folk remedy.
The man dissolved the stones in the gall bladder, and soon they made themselves felt: heaviness appeared in the right hypochondrium, bloating, and attacks of pain. I turned to the surgeon, who suggested surgery, but for this it was necessary to first reduce the pressure. The man went to the hospital for treatment of hypertension, but his blood pressure did not decrease. I decided to treat cholelithiasis with folk remedies and began looking for recipes. I read in Healthy Lifestyle No. 21 for 2010 a recipe with citrus juice and carrot juice, began to drink this remedy. It helped very well - an ultrasound showed that there were no stones. I wanted to live with renewed vigor, all the unpleasant symptoms went away, otherwise the light was not kind.

Review of the treatment of gallstones with horseradish
The woman was diagnosed with cholelithiasis. The surgeon suggested an operation, but the stones did not bother her, so the woman lived with them for 12 years, then decided to dissolve the stones in the gall bladder using folk remedies. At that time she was 77 years old and the bladder was 2/3 full of stones.
I picked fresh horseradish leaves, washed them well, dried them, finely chopped them and placed them halfway in a liter jar, stuffing it tightly. I poured in 0.5 liters of vodka, let it sit for 2 weeks, and strained. The woman drank this tincture, 1 tbsp. l. in the morning on an empty stomach until it runs out. I did an ultrasound. The doctors were very surprised to find no pathologies. And now the gallbladder has been clean for 5 years, which was confirmed by a recent ultrasound.

Dr. Vanin about cholelithiasis
Gallstones can remain “silent” for a long time; they are discovered accidentally during ultrasound. In such cases, therapists prefer to simply observe the patient, and surgeons insist on surgery.
Only in 10% of patients “silent” stones manifest themselves clinically. If, after the first colic, repeated symptoms do not appear within 5 years, then the occurrence of repeated colic is unlikely, and the risk of their development decreases with age. Therefore, patients with “silent” stones do not need treatment, but are only subject to observation.

Treatment with honey
The woman often experienced attacks of gallstone disease with acute pain; doctors suggested surgery, but she refused and decided to look for folk remedies to dissolve gallstones. I took 1 tsp. honey and unrefined sunflower oil, stirred this mixture in a cup for 15-20 minutes. Then in the morning on an empty stomach I dissolved this mixture in small portions. Half an hour later I had breakfast. This treatment lasted only 10 days, and for 9 years now there has been no pain. True, after 5 years she conducted another course for prevention.

Nettle syrup
The woman had an attack of acute pain, and during the examination it turned out that it was cholelithiasis. The doctor warned that if they get bigger, the gallbladder will have to be cut out. A neighbor brought a folk remedy that not only helps dissolve gallstones, but also normalizes the composition of bile. It was nettle root syrup. The woman was treated for six months and all the stones disappeared.
Here's the recipe: 1 tbsp. l. pour fresh nettle roots into 1 liter of water, add 300 g of sugar and boil for 15 minutes. Take 1 tbsp syrup. l. 3-4 times a day before meals. The course of treatment is 3 weeks, 2 weeks break and a new course. (HLS 2013, No. 10, p. 34)

Chicken bile for dissolving gallstones - review of treatment
A 32-year-old woman was diagnosed with cholelithiasis; her bladder was 90% clogged with stones. Doctors said that treatment was impossible and the gallbladder had to be removed. But the woman did not agree to the operation. At first I decided to treat myself with herbs. Over 6 months, the size of the stones decreased, and the gallbladder was 50% free. But, despite this, the attacks became more frequent and the pain became stronger. I decided to dissolve gallstones with chicken bile using the Naumov-Bolotov method.
This process is difficult for a city dweller. Before slaughtering a chicken, do not feed it so that the gallbladder is filled with bile, then this portion is enough for 2 days. Bile was extracted from the gallbladder with a syringe and a needle, then released into a jelly capsule from some cheap medicine. I stored the remaining bile in a syringe in the refrigerator. I immediately took 2 capsules of bile once a day, 1.5 hours after meals. I tried to eat alkaline foods.
Two weeks after the end of treatment, the woman had an ultrasound: only one stone, 4 mm in size, remained in the gallbladder, and soon it disappeared. Gallstones dissolved painlessly. The attacks did not recur, the pain disappeared.

Chicken gizzards
On an ultrasound, the woman found out that she had cholelithiasis. I bought chicken gizzards, washed them, removed the films, dried them and ground them into flour. I took the powder 1 tsp. in the morning on an empty stomach 1 hour before breakfast, washed down with milk or water. I was treated like this for 21 days. An ultrasound showed that the stones had become softer. After 20 days, I completed 1 more course of treatment, and the pain no longer bothered me. (HLS 2014, No. 10, p. 29)
