The Story of the Watch
and the Gall Bladder?

This Story is actually the story of watch and watch doctors.

Once upon a time there was a man who owned a watch. One day his watch quit ticking. He took his watch to the watch doctor and the watch doctor said “If we take this piece out the watch will tick again. The man thought this was absurd so he went to another watch doctor for a second opinion. Again the second watch doctor said, if you take this piece out, the watch will tick again. The man didn’t know what to do. He thought to himself “Well then why did the watch maker put that piece there in the first place?” This is also the story of the Gall bladder and the surgeon.

Your gall bladder is not a useless organ as many would have you believe. God gave it to you for a reason.

How your Gall bladder “Ticks”
During the whole day but

especially at night while you sleep the Liver produces bile.

Bile is what helps your body to digest and use the fat you eat. An interesting finding is those who aren’t absorbing their fat will often get a craving for sweets, and after a few weeks of getting good digestion of natural good fats their sweet cravings will subside.

The bile produced by the liver is stored in your gall bladder. When you eat a meal with fat in it, your gall bladder will release the stored bile to help with the digestion and absorption of the fat you ate.

If the bile has thickened or perhaps even formed into stones, the bile isn’t flowing very well, so the person might experience discomfort and/or get burpy after a fatty meal or from ingesting a lot of oil such as fish oil tablets.

If you don’t have a gall bladder, the only bile your body has to help breakdown and absorb fat is the bile your liver produced during that meal. This isn’t fully sufficient for digestion and absorption the fat, otherwise why would have God given you a place to store the bile until it is needed?

What Causes Gall bladder Disease?

Poor dietary choices with excess consumption of fatty foods, dairy products and fried foods.

What are symptoms?

• Indigestion and nausea after eating (especially fatty foods)
• Vomiting attacks
• Pain in the right upper abdomen, which often radiates to the right shoulder and back

What should I eat?

Unfortunately, fat has gotten a bad rap in the US, because people have mistakenly thought the consumption of fat is causing their heart disease and obesity.

• Eat some fat!- Those who know about nutrition know the way to get fat isn’t eating fat. Rather it is eating excessive refined carbohydrate. In reality, refined carbohydrate consumption is behind much of the obesity, diabetes and heart problems today. Two things that the gall bladder doesn't like are bad fats and no fats. Bad fats, like processed vegetable oils, are difficult to digest and put a lot of stress on the gall bladder. Bile is made from cholesterol that breaks down fat and makes it easier to digest. The gall bladder stores and concentrates bile, then secretes it into the small intestines when fats are present. If you don't eat fat, the gall bladder won't get any exercise and can begin to atrophy.

• Replace Processed Vegetable Oils with Traditional Fats.

For many years the media have told us to replace saturated fats with unsaturated fats, like those from vegetable oils. This advice does more harm than good. In the process of producing vegetable oils, toxic chemicals and high temperatures are used to extract the oil from the seed or bean. In this process virtually all of the nutritional value has been destroyed, not to mention that the high temperatures turn the oil rancid before you even bring it home.

Even worse, most of the vegetable oils that end up in packaged foods have been partially hydrogenated, a process that rearranges the fatty acid molecules, turning them from their natural configuration into trans fats, most of which do not exist in nature. Not only are trans fats difficult to digest, they have been implicated as a cause of both cancer and heart disease. Unknowingly we are poisoning ourselves.

The best fats for us to eat are those that generations thrived on before Quaker and Nabisco became household names. These traditional fats include butter, lard, tallow, olive oil, coconut and palm oils—fats that you don't hear about too often on TV!

• A fiber-rich gall bladder diet can get rid of small gallstones and therefore improves the activity of the gall bladder.

• Eat plenty of green vegetables and fresh fruits , as they are rich in natural fibers and a good source of vitamins and minerals. Beet leaves are a good source of Betaine which is a fat metabolism. Betaine is used in gall bladder congestion.

• foods that contain starch in your gall bladder diet, as they can also help in eliminating gall stones.

•Eat plenty of whole grains, such as brown rice, oatmeal, popcorn.

•Drink plenty of fluids. Drink at least 2 liters of pure water every day in order to help in the elimination of excess cholesterol.

•salt tablets to improve the digestion of fat and fish oil tablets that reduce the amount of cholesterol in the bile. A person who doesn’t have a gall bladder really should be taking bile salts with every meal to help with the digestion of fat. And unfortunately this is something they will have to take for the rest of their lives

Your Wellness Dimensions Center also offers several supplements to assist the Gall Bladder and liver with fat metabolism, thinning, and mobilization of bile.

Betafood and Cholacol.

Betafood is a Gall Bladder and Liver decongestant, supporting fat metabolism, thinning and mobilization of bile, and assisting in the conversion of blood fat to sugar. Betafood flushes the bile route and get it moving. The bile will then break down the fat in food, but will also assist in eliminating toxins (The blood takes the toxins to the liver, the liver dumps the toxins into the bile and the bile takes the toxins to the intestines for elimination).

C holacol contains purified bile salts. It is for fluid blockage and gall bladder relief. Cholacol is for someone bile-deficient. A person who is bile deficient or has had their gall bladder removed. Their symptoms can be constipation, intolerance to fat and have an excessive appetite.

Cholacol contains the herb Collinsonia root. Collinsonia supports the vascular system and lessens the likelihood of hemorrhoids or varicose veins.

What to Aviod?

•Replace dairy with natural substitutes-rice milk, oat milk and almond milk.

•Portion large meals into smaller meals.

•Don’t eat right before going to bed, as this can trigger gall bladder pain attacks.

•Reduce the consumption of carbonated juices and coffee, as they may also cause gall bladder discomfort and pain.

T here is a reason for everything our good Lord creates and does. We may not always understand it, but need to believe it is right. The moral of this story is know what is in your watch and how it works. Your watch will keep ticking and you will never run out of time!
