Hi Tim,

I have a pretty long post going and haven't finished it. I will try to get it done by tomorrow.

In the mean time, have you heard of Hawthorne Berries? If you have a big health food store near you, you will probably only find them there or a herbal shop. I have to get mine from herb stores in China Town here in Seattle as that is the only place I have seen them. The Chinese are not likely to know what you are talking about and they call them "San Tshou" (I am not sure how close this will come to pronouncing it property). They have tones and San is a high flat tone and Tschou is a falling note (high to low). Tschou is probably pronounced Tsjow and you almost don't hear the TS.

These berries are sliced and dried and come in one pound bags. They have a lot to do with saving my life.

Take a very large mug and put about a half cup of them in the bottom. Pour boiling water over them and steep so it makes a nice hot sour tea. Drink on an empty stomach (might give you heart burn and if so, lighten up on it) 2 - 3 times a day. This tea is drunk by the Chinese to lower cholesterol and it does a fantastic job of dissolving hardened bile in the liver and gall bladder. Quit eating any saturated fat until you solve this problem.

In the mean time, Granny Smith apples are fantastic as well. Have one on an empty stomach in the morning and at night (peel for ibs, I don't know how sensitive you are) before you go to bed or juice them. Other apples just don't have the same effect and are one tenth as effective.

You need to clean your liver out to solve the fat problem. Eat only good oils such as Olive Oil, Flax, fish oils, Grape Seed, Avocado and so on. You really need to study up on oils, there is a lot to know.

I am not a doctor. I may not know what I am talking about. This just worked for me when twenty different doctors said I was fine yet I almost died. I just had to figure things out for myself.

I will post more later and I hope this helps. Actually, I am going to wait to hear from you to see if you are taking the apples.

Tim, you will get better and overcome this. This is one area doctors just can't help you and you will have to take responsibility for this yourself.

Good luck,

Will
