Save Your Gallbladder Naturally and What to Do If You've Already Lost It
Bestselling author Sandra Cabot MD and naturopath Margaret Jasinska ND provide a comprehensive step-by-step plan for dissolving gallstones and improving gallbladder function. If you are having gallbladder problems, whether you have already lost it or not, this book tells you what to do. Gallbladder disease can be painful and frightening, which explains why many people are rushed off to surgery to have their gallbladder removed. Is this the best thing to do? Are we panicking? These decisions are complex and serious and thus it takes an expert in liver and gallbladder problems like Dr Sandra Cabot to help you make sense of it. Thankfully, Dr. Cabot has written this book to help you and your doctor make the best decisions. Your gallbladder is precious and supports optimal digestion and absorption of nutrients. In most cases, there are safe natural alternatives that can help you to save your gallbladder, dissolve stones, and restore a healthy gallbladder and healthier liver function.

About the author
Sandra Cabot
55 books43 followersDr Sandra Cabot has written many popular books on health and she is very well known under this name. Dr Cabot’s famous Liver Cleansing Diet book was awarded The Australian People’s Choice Award in 1997.You may find it interesting to know that Sandra chose the nom de plume of “Dr Cabot” in 1982, as in those days Australian medical doctors were encouraged to use a nom de plume (or writer’s name) if they were going to write books and participate in the health media. This was considered ethical behavior and was smiled upon by the medical registration boards, as it could then not be construed as to be advertising for extra patients.There are many well known medical doctors in Australia (such as Dr “Sally Feelgood” and Dr “James Wright”) who use a writer’s and/or media name for this purpose, and who continue to practise medicine under their professional names. This is considered to be more ethical and conservative, which is appropriate as the medical profession is a conservative profession.Dr Sandra Cabot’s professional name is Dr Sandra McRae and her ancestors came from Scotland and England. There is also a touch of French ancestry in Sandra, and that is why she chose a French nom de plume!Dr Sandra McRae is a registered medical doctor in NSW, Australia where she has medical practices in which she works with other medical doctors and naturopaths.
Dr Sandra McRae was born in Adelaide South Australia in 1952 and trained in medicine and surgery at Adelaide University in South Australia.
Sandra McRae graduated in medicine and surgery with honours in 1975 from Adelaide University South Australia.
In Australia a bachelor of medicine and surgery is designated by the letters MBBS, which appear after the name of the doctor. Sandra McRae is also a diplomate of the Royal Australian College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists and this is designated by the letters DRCOG. Thus the correct title of Dr Sandra McRae in Australia is MBBS, DRCOG.
Dr Sandra Cabot is published in many different countries and languages. In the USA Sandra uses the letters MD after her name, which is the American equivalent of the Australian MBBS, and simply means Medical Doctor and not Medical Doctorate.
During the mid-1980s Dr Cabot spent 6 months working as a volunteer doctor at the largest missionary hospital in India (the Leyman hospital). Here she studied tropical & infectious diseases and tended to the poor indigenous women with obstetric emergencies.
Dr Sandra Cabot travels extensively giving lectures and public seminars and visits isolated areas in Australia to share her message of natural health. Dr Cabot has lectured for the American Liver Foundation and the Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Society. Today she is asked by many different organizations and hospitals to lecture all over Australia and New Zealand. Some of the proceeds of Dr Cabot’s book sales are donated to support Women’s Refuges in Australia.

Easy To Read
After tests revealed I have an inflamed gallbladder and my doctor not really explaining the whys or how that happened l started doing my own research and found Dr Sandra Cabot. This book is written in a way I can actually understand and isn’t filled with too much medical jargon. I now know more about my gallbladder than I ever needed to know. I’ve already started implementing the diet changes my gallbladder needs and so far I’m feeling better for it. I’ve had a few slips up but I’ve easily pinpointed what foods have triggered my pain. A very helpful read.

3.5/5
After suffering an attack, I picked up this book among some others to do some research. The information in this little volume is really great - my only feedback is that they could have used an editor (or a better one). The info about gallbladders/livers and its functioning would have made more sense at the front of the book instead of partway through. They jump right into topics which require knowledge of the organs, meaning I spent some time googling to understand the organ functionality - only to realize they explain all this a few chapters later.
Overall, a good resource.

Is this the answer to keeping my body parts? I hope so
Look, I'm not a doctor, but I figure I was born with a gall bladder for a reason. Doctors, who probably only study men and don't care what happens to forty year old women (my ex who is a doctor says 3Fs: Forty, Fertile, Female=gall bladder trouble). If changing my diet can save my body, why not try?

Useful facts
I’m about to have my gallbladder removed so this book gave me details I need to know to stay healthy afterwards. Recipes and supplements suggested are helpful. Wish I had read this book before my health crisis! Definitely recommend it!
