What is a Gallbladder Attack? – Symptoms and Causes
The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile salts. The bile salts break down fats. The bile salts also extract Omega 3 fatty acids as well as the fat soluble vitamins that need to be extracted from food so it can be used by the body.
Gall bladder attack is when a stone gets stuck in the tube, the liver itself or the gallbladder. The liver makes the bile which then goes down the tube and is stored in the sack. The back pressure of a stone being stuck will cause pain. You can have stomach pain, nausea, right shoulder pain, pain under the rib cage, cramping The right shoulder pain is due to a nerve that goes up to your neck. This causes different right side pain in any right sided muscle and even headaches.
Bile is made with lots of cholesterol. Bile will also eliminate excess cholesterol. High cholesterol can be not enough bile to eliminate from the body.

MCVitamins has been looking for supplements that work well for athletes and actually anyone who want to be fit. The below is what my research discovered
Read on……
Athletes face 8 nutritional challenges. Their bodies work harder and need good nutrition. What are the all-natural solutions?
Athletes want to enhance their performance. Nature provides us with the most effective and powerful choices.
The choice becomes clearer when you compare the long term muscle fitness and health building effects of whole food and nutritional supplements versus the well-documented health issues often associated with the artificial methods.
What is the needed nutrition that is the most proven and effective choice for enhancing performance – without breaking rules, laws, or endangering your body!
What are the Challenges?
The 8 challenges area as follow:
Core Nutrition
Muscle Building
Energy
Reaction Time
Hormone Balance
Recovery
Repair
Re-hydration
All these challenges must be met in order to enhance the ability to excel.
What are our recommendations? Athlete Challenges and why we recommend them.
This seems to be an attention getter, even for younger people let along menopausal women or older men. Find out what can easily help this is what MCVitamins found and which really works. We tried it as well and the first thing noticed is really good sleep…. the list of benefits goes on.
If you have high blood pressure, high blood glucose, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, excess weight around the waist you have a metabolic disorder – an imbalance or deficiency – that negatively affects the way your body functions. This also means you have an increased risk of a serious health condition, such as cardiovascular disease. If you have 3 or more factors this is commonly referred to as Metabolic Syndrome and your risk increases even more. You are not alone.
Metabolic Syndrome is increasingly common and up to 30% of U.S. adults have it and about 44% of people over 50 years of age are affected by it. Every 5 seconds someone is diagnosed with a condition caused by metabolic disorder and every 10 seconds somebody dies from a metabolic health issue. It is one of the most important health challenges we currently face.

Medical science has recently discovered that a root cause of particular health issues involves the gut and the Gut-Brain Axis.
The Gut-Brain Axis is the communication system between the brain and the trillions of bacteria and enzymes living within our intestines – our gut microbiome.
The gut microbiome weighs about 2 kg and is bigger than the average human brain. It’s an active community of trillions of bacteria and microbes.
The gut microbiome is a crucial part of this gut-brain connection. It develops simultaneously with the central nervous system and has a powerful influence over many different mental processes.
Multiple studies have shown that the composition of our gut bacteria has a profound impact on mental health and the functioning of our nervous system.
Gut microbes make a number of chemicals that affect how our brains function. Gut microbes play a crucial role in brain development and the flow of signaling information across the central nervous system.
As neurotransmitters synthesized by the brain are involved in regulating mental health, emotions, behaviors, and mood, a disrupted gut microbiome can play a significant role in neurological conditions.
“The gut microbiome is the most important scientific discovery for human healthcare in recent decades,” says James Kinross, a microbiome scientist and surgeon at Imperial College London. “We discovered it – or rediscovered it – in the age of genetic sequencing less than 15 years ago. The only organ that is bigger is the liver.”
Professor Jack Gilbert, an award-winning microbiome scientist at the University of California San Diego and author, has stated, “Over the last 80 years and since the dawn of antibiotics, there has been a multi-generational loss of microbes that appear to be important for human health. They are passed from mother to child (during birth, via breast milk and skin contact) throughout the generations, but at some point, in the last three or four generations, we lost some. We’re not entirely sure if the cause was our lifestyle, our diet, cleanliness in our homes or the use of antibiotics. We’re missing certain immune stimulants that people in the developing world have plenty of.”
The gut’s microbiome is critical for short-term and long-term health. Given all the new data about the importance of the gut microbiome and the gut-brain axis, there are steps you can take to ensure you maintain a healthy gut microbiome.
Studies suggest having a diverse population of gut microbes is directly associated with better health.
The Canadian Digestive Health Foundation suggests the following:
“Make sure to eat your vegetables!
“Especially the leafy green ones. Vegetables are loaded with fibers which cannot be digested by people but are consumed by the good bacteria in your gut. It has been observed that people who follow a diet rich with fruits and vegetables are less likely to grow disease-causing bacteria. Some great examples of vegetables that feed your microbes are:
• Leeks
• Onions
• Asparagus
• Broccoli
• Spinach.
“Stock up on dietary sources of prebiotics
“Prebiotics are food for your microbiome! It’s important to feed these little guys to give them the energy they need to complete their very important task of managing your enteric (relating to the intestines) nervous system.
Here is a list of dietary prebiotics that should be staples in your home kitchen:
• Apples
• Leeks
• Onions
• Cocoa Extracts
• Garlic
• Bananas
• Asparagus
• Nuts
• Seeds
• Red Wine Extracts
• Root Vegetables
• Beans
• Lentils
• Chickpeas
• Green Tea Extracts.
“Fermented foods are gut-friendly
“Fermented foods are another great source of probiotics.
The crowd favorite is yogurt, however, if you’re going to be eating a lot of yogurt, make sure that it is sugar-free! There are several other options that are a great source of good bacteria. Kombucha is becoming a very popular source of probiotics. You can also eat things like pickles, kimchee, and kefir to ensure that you’re getting enough live cultures to keep your gut healthy and happy.”
Supplements Can Help, Too
Taking supplements that contain probiotics to support an optimum microbiome can help, too.

Mitochondria, an integral part of diverse cellular functions, are susceptible to damage which leads to non-optimum metabolism.
Today, unknowingly, children are exposed to many toxins in their food and environment and the damage done to the mitochondria could explain particular behavior and health issues. For example, tests of baby food sold in the US revealed that 95 percent contain one or more toxic chemicals, including lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium. As children grow, they continue to be exposed to chemical preservatives and additives in the food they eat, and harmful chemicals in their environment.
Children are more susceptible to exposure to toxins than adults because the toxins potentially have a bigger impact on the pathways in their smaller bodies, and their bodies are actively developing.
A paper from 2017 describes how mitochondrial dysfunction is the root cause of many diseases that are bewildering in their variety and complexity. They include rare genetic disorders in children. (3)
Children must have optimum metabolism to correctly support the many biochemical reactions in their body that regulate the activity of the cardiovascular, neurological, reproductive, and detoxification systems.
Cellular metabolism plays a more dynamic role in the cells that previously thought. Nearly all of a cell’s genes are influenced by changes to nutrition they have access to.
There is now scientific evidence for the use of metabolism-based protocols to provide tailored nutrition to improve the health of children. (1)

Most people are told to eat a healthy diet, etc., but what is the underlying reason.. A lot of people say to lose weight and be healthy, others to protect themselves from “germs” or “disease”.
The “germ theory” says that we have to protect ourselves from the virus infections or bacterial infections or other “germs”.thus, the idea is that you have to take certain vitamins, herbs or minerals that will protect you from these “germs” and thus disease.
However, a much better viewpoint is that if the body is healthy, that “terrain” can not be invaded by “germs”, There is no place for them to infect. Do you know what a virus has variants? Because they alter things so they can find a way to work themselves into an ailing body. They are trying to survive. Variants spread easier, but are always weaker.
I think its easier to have a healthy body which is resistant to any “germ” that might be trying to invade it.

There is a new quiz which is designed to create a personal program to restore health to your nerves.
There are lots of nerve support formulas around since 2010 that try to help a person relieve the symptoms of neuropathy. Three is actually the original nerve support formula that was available earlier since 2004. Some are good, some fair and many are just covering up the symptoms.
The person’s activities in life can impact creating nerve health.
The new quiz asks the question so that a real program can be developed to relieve the symptoms while building health for the nerves.
