📖 11. Diseases of the Gall Bladder (HMT Index) Introduction

11. Diseases of the Gall Bladder and Diabetes Pain in the gall bladder and the biliary colic associated with intense burning and discomfort should be treated with Belladonna in a high potency, one or two doses repeated te n to fifteen minutes apart. This will, with God’s grace, help reli eve the pain. After the initial treatment of Belladonna, once the pa in gets better, the treatment should be continued with Sulphur and Lycopodium intermittently for a permanent cure. Both of these have a profound effect on the bile. Bile is a yellowish green secretion produced in the liver . It is very important for the digestion of food. The tendency of stone formation in the gall bladder is due to the altered quality of bile (cholestrosis). Chelidonium is also very useful in the treatment of gall stones. The pain usually radiates to the back . The pain of Berberis spreads around, in all directions. China is also useful in the tr eatment of pain related to the gall bladder. Th e prolonged regular use of Natrum Sulph dissolves the gall stones. If the gall bladder pain is associated with sugar in the urine, the urine being abundant in quantity and milky white in colour, then the most appropriate treatment is Argentum Me tallicum. In Kali Carb patients, the gall bladder problems arise from diabetes. The urinary bladder is irritable and hypersensitive to pressure. The patient, who suffers from slow ly progressive mental weakness and is also diabetic, may sometimes be completely cured with Acid Phos. If the diabetes is due to prolonged anxiety, and there is a severe stinging type of pain at the gall bladder, and the legs and arms feel slightly achy, then Tarentula will be found very useful. It does not only offer temporary relief, but by the grace of God, it can offer a complete cure. Similarly, if the patient develops carbuncles over the shoulder areas, a very serious cond ition, then again Tarentula would be very useful.
