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.
