Gallstone disease sufferers experience steady pain throughout the abdomen which results in nausea, vomiting and chills. If left untreated, gallstones will result in a severe fever and gallbladder infection. Doctors typically diagnose gallstones as Acute Cholecystitis which simply means an inflamed gallbladder, which is caused by gallstones forming inside that may have blocked one of the bile ducts. Fortunately, thousands of gallstone sufferers have dissolved their gallstones naturally and have passed them in weeks. However, the misfortune is that over 500,000 persons will undergo gallbladder surgery to remove their gallbladder this year. The greater misfortune is that gallstones can be dissolved and passed naturally without even stepping foot into a surgical room. An finally, the even greater travesty is that while a doctor will recommend gallbladder surgery, he will not tell you that gallbladder surgery increases your risk of bowel and colon cancer and an increase in blood cholesterol levels.
