10 Principles of Psychology You Can Use to Improve Your appointment setting

Gangrenous gallbladder usually develops in cases when gallbladder inflammation is left untreated. Gallbladder inflammation can be caused by several factors, but gallstones are considered responsible in most of the cases. ™

We will define gangrene first. Gangrene can be described as a condition when cells start to die out. When the blood supply is obstructed, this can lead to death of cells. Gangrene is usually seen in someone's toes or fingers, but it can also affect the internal organs.

When a gallstone gets stuck in the cystic duct, this will lead to problems with the bile flow. If that happens, gallbladder can get infected and inflamed. If not treated in time, these problems can lead to gangrenous gallbladder.

Gangrenous Gallbladder: What Are the Symptoms?

High fever

Indigestion

Rapid heartbeat

Vomiting

Bloating

General weakness

Mild fever

Abdominal pain

Chills

Nausea

Abdominal discomfort

Cramps

The symptoms of gangrenous gallbladder can be very non-specific, and they are usually mistaken for other problems, unrelated to the gallbladder. If you experience any of the symptoms mentioned above, visit your doctor and have your gallbladder examined.

Gangrenous gallbladder is treated with gallbladder surgery. This condition is serious and there is no other way to deal with it. After the surgery, doctors will be monitoring your condition and you will get some advice on how to moderate your diet.

Gallstones Symptoms and Treatment

Gallstones symptoms and treatment can depend on several factors. We can describe gallstones as small particles made of some pigments, calcium salts and cholesterol. Gallstones can develop in the liver or in the gallbladder, and they can move through the biliary tract. Sometimes, a large stone can get stuck in the cystic duct, causing problems. On the other hand, gallstones can be very small, and they usually don't cause any problems. People can live with such stones for years without having trouble.

Gallstones

Gallstones are responsible for most gallbladder problems. They can lead to problems like gallbladder inflammation, porcelain gallbladder, and bile duct obstruction (this can lead to serious problems, such as ascending cholangitis or pancreatitis).

Gallstones are divided into the following groups:

Cholesterol stones

Pigment stones

Mixed stones.

Pigment stones are very small and most of them are dark in color. They are usually composed if bilirubin and calcium salts. Cholesterol stones are usually green or brownish. They can be very large. Mixed stones contain calcium carbonate, palmitate, bilirubin, and several more pigments.

The most common symptoms of gallstones include:

Belching

Sensitivity to fats

Bloating

Gas

Indigestion

Gallstones Treatment

Small stones are usually asymptomatic, and they do not even require any treatment. However, large stones can cause serious problems.

In severe cases, gallbladder surgery may be required.

Lithotripsy is one of the methods to treat gallstones. It uses shock waves that break the stones into small pieces.

Milk is nature's way of providing substance from a mother to her young. It is a perfect delivery mechanism to supply an infant with lactoferrins, immunoglobulins and protein - necessary nutrition for development. Homogenization takes that perfect process and transforms it into something else. The goal of treating milk is to add consistency to the liquid. Without it, the cream would separate. While the end goal is practical, the means add hidden dangers to what is a naturally healthy drink.

What Homogenization Does to Milk

Milk contains butterfat globules, or lumps, that rise to the top of the liquid. Homogenization is a blending that breaks down the lumpy areas, so it has a more consistent texture - an appealing trait particularly for commercial distribution. Without this mechanical process, you would feel and taste the butterfat... or scrape the cream off the top!

The Danger of Homogenization

Homogenization is an effective way to create a more appealing texture for milk, but it also changes the base structure of the proteins. Raw milk is easier to digest than homogenized products. Once altered through homogenization, milk becomes harder for the body to process.

Each system in the body has a function. Part of the job of the digestive tract is to filter foods. Like most filters, smaller substances can slip through the grid. Through the process of homogenization, the long chains of proteins are broken down into tiny units that do not digest properly. These smaller chains slip through the filter to enter the bloodstream.

The immune system's job is to protect the body from foreign invaders. When it detects a foreign body, the system takes action to contain and destroy it. This is the very same process that occurs when you get an infection. When undigested protein enters the bloodstream, it has the potential to trigger an immune response which can lead to inflammation and a myriad of unpleasant symptoms.

The same mechanism that breaks the protein chains will also reduce the size of the fat globules in the milk. The butterfat does not disappear. The lumps just gets so small you don't know they are there. This makes them tiny enough to evade the filter in the digestive tract. Once in the blood, that fat can increase the risk of heart disease.

Do Hormones Trigger Cancer?

A secondary problem to homogenization is the introduction of hormones into the body. Digestion removes most potentially harmful elements in cow's milk, but homogenization allows certain substances to bypass that protection filter. This includes:

Some of the components are natural elements in milk while others are fed to the animal to increase production. When it comes to hormones and steroids, the human body doesn't know the difference between what is natural and what is man-made. When humans ingest a growth hormone given to the cow, it may trigger the proliferation of cancer cells.

Altering the Process

When homogenization changes the structure of the milk, it alters the natural process. This can put people at risk for serious illnesses. Homogenization can increase the chances of developing:

A study by Connecticut cardiologists Oster and Ross showed that Bovine Xanthene Oxidase (BXO) was able to survive digestion. The doctors' paper, published in the Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine (vol. 163:1981), states that milk Ameridial antibodies were elevated in male patients diagnosed with heart disease.

In addition, there was evidence that the fat globules changed shape during homogenization to become irritants on the walls of arteries. This irritation causes the body to create cholesterol to protect the walls like insulation. This may be one reason for the increase in heart disease among young people.

In an attempt to make milk better, the dairy industry has gone against nature. Raw milk is a natural substance. Homogenized milk is not. Common sense tells you that going against a natural process is going to be a problem. Medical science is burying its head to the fact that there are hidden dangers in the homogenization of cow's milk that can lead to chronic illness and even the possibility of terminal disease.
