MEDICINE THERAPIES
The gall bladder is a small sized organ, situated under the liver. It communicates with
the liver through the hepatic duct. It stores and concentrates the bile, which is a green hepatic
secretion used in the digestive process.
When we eat our foods, the gall bladder releases the bile through the common bile
duct into the duodenum (the first segment of the small intestine).
When this mechanism is disturbed, disorders of the digestive system occur, manifested
by: pain or discomfort in the right subcostal area or in the epigastrium, pain in the shoulder
blades are, headaches (especially in the right area), dizziness, nausea, flatulence, sensation of
fullness and distension after meals, indigestion (especially after consuming heavy or fat
foods), diarrhea or soft stools, light-colored stools, constipation, a bitter taste after meals.
In the case of acute pangs, there is also fever accompanied by biliary colic (strong pain
in the right side of the abdomen,subcostally, a pain that may radiate towards the right shoulder
blade), nausea and vomiting. The symptoms may last from several minutes to several hours.
These biliary dysfunctions cause major disorders in the activity of the body and they
may lead to liver diseases (fatty liver, hepatomegaly, hepatic cirrhosis) and pancreatic
diseases (pancreatitis, diabetes), pathologic disorders of the intestinal microflora, gastric
diseases (gastritis, ulcer, and gastro-esophageal reflux).
Types
The main factors to blame in a disorder of the biliary activity are stress or other mental
disorders and a chaotic and inadequate food regime, characterized by frequent alimentary
excesses and excessive consumption of fats, fried foods, sausages, fat or minced meat, eggs,
coffee, chocolate, alcohol or other foods that take a long time to digest.
Biliary dyskinesia may also be triggered by non-alimentary factors such as: endocrine
disorders, gynecological diseases, stress, physical exhaustion, anxious and/or depressive
disorders.
Treatment
The treatment of biliary dyskinesia is done by tonifying and relaxing the gall bladder
(as is the case) and by regulating the bile secretion of the hepatic tissue.
The diet included in the treatment programme will improve the hepatic and biliary
activity. After ending the diet, the patient may undertake a more relaxed food regime.
Nevertheless, he must have three meals a day and he must not have any snacks whatsoever
between these meals.
The impact and the effects of the generating causes are removed by specific traditional
procedures. In this way the effects of the stress are eliminated and the organs affected
indirectly are cured: fatty liver (accumulation of adipose tissue in the hepatic area disturbing
the hepatic functions), the dysfunction of the thyroid, the decreased intestinal peristaltic
reflex, etc.
The patient's eating habits are guided to a healthier diet in order to balance the
intestinal flora and to restore
Thus the doctor eliminates the effects of stress, adjusts the patient's alimentation,
guides him to adopt a healthy food regime and also cures the organs affected indirectly: fatty
liver (accumulation of adipose tissue in the hepatic area disturbing the hepatic functions), the
dysfunction of the thyroid, the decreased intestinal peristaltic reflex, etc.
At the same time the balance of the intestinal flora as well as the mucous membrane of
the stomach are also restored. Should there also be residues in the gall bladder (mud), the
doctor will also perform a biliary drainage in order to eliminate them.
