## Keynote Indications
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.
