Gallbladder Problems

Many people think the gallbladder is an insignificant and dispensable organ. While it is true that you can survive without your gallbladder, once it is removed, your body must work harder to digest fats and remove cholesterol from the body. Having your gallbladder removed because you have been eating too much saturated fat and cholesterol (which creates gallstones) is like removing the engine from your car because you have been using the worng kind of gas. The ten day gallbladder detox gives your gallbladder the fuel it needs to restore balance and prevent gallstones.

The gallbladder is a small hollow, pear shaped organ that stores and concentrates bile an essential liquid for digestion. Bile, which is continually secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, emulsifies fats and neutralizes the acids in foods that are partly digested.

When you consume too much saturated fat, substances in bile crystalize in the gallbladder and form gallstones, or small hard substances that may be as small as grain of sand or as large as golf ball, called gallstones. Your liver and gallbladder were designed to work together to digest fats. When your gallbladder is removed, your liver must work harder to digest fats. If you continue eat a diet high in saturated fats and low in fiber, you may have a higher risk of developing heart disease and stroke.
