The gallbladder is also referred to as cholescyst. It is in reality a small, pear shaped sac or organ located in the upper right hand side of the abdomen and on the underside of the liver. The purpose of the gallbladder is to store bile, a liquid manufactured in the liver and used to help digest mainly fats. When food enters the duodenum or small intestinal tract, a signal is sent to the gallbladder to secrete bile in order to help digest a meal. Consequently, the gallbladder, thru muscular contractions, squeezes the contents of itself. Bile is then dumped in an around bile to help digest the food. The presence of gallstones obstructs the flow of bile and prevents the food from being properly digested. The food then sits in the intestinal tract undigested generating all manner of pathogenic bacteria colonies that feed on the waste. From here on, it is a domino effect. The inability of the body to rid waste efficiently causes all sorts of problems across the entire body.

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012How You Can Treat Several Illnesses with Clay
Monday, February 20th, 2012Bentonite clay is used extensively in alternative medicine. It is a special type of clay found near the volcanic mountains. When you consume bentonite clay, it cleanses your digestive system and also removes toxins from the blood.
During our evolution, most people accidentally ingested mud or clay. Children who live in slums play with dirt and accidentally eat them too. The seemingly dirty substance actually has a cleansing property according to modern science.
I don’t recommend that you go out and start eating mud. You can buy bentonite clay at your nearest herbal or naturopathic store. This is clean and does not have any bacteria or germs in it.
I tried eating a tablespoon of bentonite clay every day. First I mixed it with water and drank it. It was not tasty at all. The next day I decided to blend it with my green smoothie. I only put a half of teaspoon each time. Now the taste was not too bad.
After taking bentonite clay for a month, I felt that my body was much lighter. I used to get migraine every day and now the pain is gone.
