The Gallbladder is a a small, pear-shaped organ located under the liver. The gallbladder creates bile which helps the digestion of oils and fatty foods. If fats and cholesterol are not properly digested, gallstones which are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that can form in the gallbladder. Humans can live without a gallbladder but many contributing factors can be identified before surgery becomes necessary. Post surgery complications and diet restrictions can also be negative side effects of Gallbladder removal.
The gallbladder stores and releases bile to help the digestive system break down fats. Gallstones range in size from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball and can be composed mainly of undissolved cholesterol or bilirubin. Risk factors for gallstones include being female, age 40 or older, Native American or Hispanic of Mexican origin, overweight or obese, sedentary, pregnant, eating a high-fat or high-cholesterol diet, having a family history of gallstones, having diabetes, or taking medications that contain estrogen.
Gallstones may cause no signs or symptoms, but can usually be detected before they get worse with a BioAcoustic evaluation. However, if a gallstone lodges in a duct and causes a blockage, symptoms may include sudden and rapidly intensifying pain in the upper right portion of the abdomen or center of the abdomen below the breastbone, back pain between the shoulder blades, pain in the right shoulder, nausea or vomiting. Severe complications of gallstones include inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis), blockage of the common bile duct leading to severe pain, jaundice, high fever with chills, and pancreatitis.
BioAcoustic Gallbladder Research : We are researching the cause of this disorder and have found that certain frequencies are able to rebalance the processes that cause the formation of gallstones and help the body to return itself to a state of homeostasis.
