Introduction
Who Is Judy Seeger, ND?
"Discover How to Eliminate Gallbladder Pain with Judy's 3 Step
Detox Formula"
Judy Seeger, ND: Author, Speaker, Researcher, Webinar & Teleclass host,
online TV show host
I started juicing in 1978. The local health food store owner explained the
powerful benefits of juicing and how it could help me detox and cleanse my
body. This is also the time I was fortunate enough to be trained by world
renowned healers like Dr. John Christopher (master herbalist), Dr. Bernard
Jensen (world renowned nutritionist) and then Dr. Joel Robbins, MD, DC, ND.
There were many more healers I studied with, but each and every one
supported the value of juicing for detoxing.
The first step in eliminating gallbladder pain is to give the body what it
needs to heal. Juicing is one of the fastest ways to do this.
Growing up in New York City with European parents, there were minimal
choices for finding quality vegetables. On top of that, I was a picky eater,
rarely touching my vegetables. I had a severe sweet tooth and loved white
bread, especially peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!
By the time I was 18 years old, following this poor dietary lifestyle, I ended
up with chronic fatigue, caught colds constantly plus suffered with severe
low back pain, constipation, migraine headaches, dizzy spells, chronic sinus
infections…the list seemed endless! And I was young. I can't imagine what
life would have been like if I continued on this self destructive path. Serious
disease would have surely overtaken my body.
4
But detoxing saved me!
I started out with juicing and remember the first time I ever tasted a glass
of freshly made carrot juice, I couldn’t believe how delicious it tasted! I was
shocked at the sweetness, the refreshing taste, and most especially how
good I felt! It was better than drinking soda or eating candy. I was hooked!
Then I did my first colon cleanse which was another experience! I lost
weight, I had more energy then I knew what to do with and best of all my
symptoms were slowly but surely disappearing! I knew then I was on the
right track so it was time to take this to my clinic.
I worked on thousands of people and saw them have the very same results.
I worked on rebuilding their body first, then went onto the next step simple to use detox therapies to help them eliminate their poisons. From
mercury to chemo to sugar cravings people came to eliminate the poisons
that were causing them to feel sick. The very toxins that was causing
gallstones to form.
After 35 years in the Alternative Medicine field, I've put my findings into
books that are easy to read, easy to follow, and most importantly gives fast
results.
When not writing, teaching or speaking, I love to travel the world eating
exotic foods like dragon fruit, and hiking to waterfalls or watching a Muay
Thai match. I remain a life-long fan of all activities in water - white water
rafting, kayaking, boogie boarding, swimming, snorkeling.

Are Your Symptoms Real?
“I have been on and off the South Beach Diet and in all have lost a little over
40 pounds. I have been working out 4-5 days a week. Within the last week
or so I have been feeling mild uncomfortable pains in my lower right side,
with no other symptoms. It is very uncomfortable …”
“I just wanted to know about a pain in my side. It's been hurting for two
days now. It’s right in my pelvic area. Please help!”
“HELP! Gallstone Attack! What can I do? I am having gallstone attacks after
eating! What can I do to relieve the pain?”
While these people experienced symptoms, most people with gallstones
have no symptoms at all. One study found that over 80 percent of patients
with gallstones had no symptoms at all. Review the symptoms shown below
and consult a health professional if you are experiencing any of them.
Gallstones form when liquid stored in the gallbladder hardens into pieces of
stone-like material. The liquid, called bile, is used to help the body digest
fats. Gallstones can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball.
The gallbladder can develop just one large stone, hundreds of tiny stones, or
almost any combination.
If a gallstone is obstructing the gall bladder, there will be severe pain in the
upper right side of the abdomen. The pain will come and go in waves due to
strong muscular contractions that occur. These muscular contractions occur
because the body is trying to get rid of the obstruction caused by the stones.
Another symptom of gallstones is mild pain located under the right ribs. This
pain usually occurs after eating fatty foods because fat in the diet provokes
a reflex contraction of the gall bladder. If there is complete obstruction of
the gall bladder, infection of the gall bladder occurs. Symptoms of this
include fever and jaundice (yellow skin).

The Symptoms
Most doctors say you can live without your gallbladder. I agree. You CAN live
without your gallbladder…but there’s a BIG price to pay. If you don’t have
the gallbladder there to squirt the bile, which organ gets extra duty to break
down fats? The liver of course! If the liver is already working extra hard
breaking down fats, your chances are much higher of getting:
 Jaundice
 Skin rashes
 Hormonal imbalance
 Low blood pressure
 Fatigue
 Weakness
 Weight loss
 Poor appetite
 Nausea
 Fever
These are just a few liver problems you may get if your gallbladder is
removed.
Due to the health risks of removing your gallbladder, don’t you want
to save your gallbladder?
Judy says….
Why risk these problems? Rather than removing your gallbladder, get rid of
your gallstones naturally and save your gall bladder!
Here’s what to do if you DO have pain, but you want to save your gall
bladder.
First, check whether you have these symptoms:
Symptoms of gallstones are often called a gallstone “attack” because they
occur suddenly, especially right after a meal. A typical attack can cause:
 Steady pain in the upper abdomen or right side that increases rapidly
and lasts from 30 minutes to several hours. Pain is sharp, cramping, or
dull.
 Pain in the back between the shoulder blades
 Pain under the right shoulder
 Nausea
9
Gallstone attacks often follow fatty meals, such as a meal with meat and
potatoes, deep fried foods, and greasy foods. They may occur during the
night.
Other Gallstone Symptoms
 Abdominal bloating
 Recurring intolerance of fatty foods
 Belching
 Gas
 Indigestion, heartburn
IMPORTANT NOTE
If you have the above symptoms PLUS any of following symptoms, you
should see a doctor right away:





Sweating
Chills
Low-grade fever
Yellowish color of the skin or whites of the eyes
Clay-colored stools

8 Tips to Know If You Are Likely to
Get Gallstones
1. Women
Women are much more inclined to develop gallstones than men. In fact,
women between the ages of 30 and 39 have three times greater risk of
gallstones than men in the same age group.
2. People over age sixty
Age is also a major risk factor for both men and women. As you age, your
chance of developing gallstones increase substantially, particularly after
you hit age sixty.
3. Native Americans
Most Native Americans, especially Pima Indians, have one of the highest
incidences of gallstones. This is particularly true in women.
4. Mexican Americans
Those who eat their native foods rich in cheese and meats tend to form
gall stones more readily.
5. Overweight men and women
Obesity (weight greater than 120 percent of ideal body weight) is
certainly a major risk factor as well. Even being moderately overweight
increases your chance for forming gallstones.
6. Lack of physical activity
A recently published study of more than 60,000 women showed that the
risk of having a gallbladder attack is directly related to the amount of
physical activity done. Women who sat all day at their desk were at a 2.3
times greater risk for needing gallbladder surgery compared to women
who worked out daily. Similar findings have also been observed with
men.
7. People who fast or lose a lot of weight quickly
Yo-yo diets are no-no diets! When weight is lost and gained too rapidly,
this puts a tremendous stress on your liver and gallbladder, leading to
excessive stones being formed.
11
8. Pregnant women, women on hormone therapy, and women
who use birth control pills
Sex hormones, especially estrogen, appear to be largely responsible for
this, having been shown to promote gallstone formation. Along these
lines, women who are on estrogen replacement therapy or oral
contraceptives also seem to be at a higher risk for developing gallstones.
Pregnancy, or a history of childbirth, is also a risk factor for forming
gallstones. One study reported that only 1.3 percent of women who have
never given birth had gallstones, compared to a 12.2-percent prevalence
of gallstones among women with a history of childbirth. Pregnant women,
after they give birth, have been found to have less gallbladder problems
within one to two months after delivery.
12
Where In The World Is Your
Gallbladder Anyway?
Your gallbladder is so small you wouldn’t think it could cause so much
trouble!
But this little tiny three inch sac is actually a muscular storage sac that can
hold about one ounce of your bile. This is the same greenish-yellow bile fluid
made by your liver and sometimes you “burp up” leaving you with a sour
taste in your mouth.
Your gallbladder is simply a storage site for the bile that your liver makes.
It’s lined with a special mucus lining, which can absorb salts (minerals). It’s
attached to, and located under, the liver. When bile is needed, the
gallbladder contracts, forcing the bile into the common bile duct, which
carries it to the small intestine to aid in digestion.

10 Steps to Follow When You Have a
Gallbladder Attack
A gallbladder attack doesn't come out of nowhere. There are definitely
reasons your gallbladder forms stones and gets inflamed. But don't worry!
You have plenty of options that are safe, natural, and can save you
thousands of dollars!
In fact, I’m going to share my clinical experience with you and give you the
10 steps to follow if you do have a gallbladder attack. These are proven to
work and perfectly safe to use!
NOTE: remember, IF you are having severe symptoms like I mentioned
before, don't monkey around! Go straight to your doctor and get it taken
care of. These suggestions are just that - suggestions! Use common sense
and don't put yourself in jeopardy.
Let's look at 10 Natural Solutions....
Gallbladder Attack Solution Step #1
Let's do a quick review to see if you’re really having a gallbladder attack!
Initial symptoms are:
 Pain in the upper part of your abdomen (underneath your right rib
cage)
 This pain occurs RIGHT AFTER you eat a fatty type meal
Remember, check with your doctor if you're in severe pain!
Step one is to decide if you are actually having a gallbladder attack or simply
bad indigestion. Some folks decide to do a few natural therapies at home
first. Others go right to the doctor. It's your call.
14
Gallbladder Attack Solution Step #2
If you go the doctor and it is a gallbladder attack, the physician will
immediately hospitalize you and probably remove you gallbladder. The
advantage of this is that you will be out of pain!
The disadvantage is that there are long term consequences such as:
 Constant diarrhea. This can be controlled somewhat by medications,
but then you have the side effects of taking medications all day.
 Low energy
 Weight gain
 Back pain
 Heartburn
 Gas
 Nausea
 Cramps
 Pain in the shoulder or right side of the abdomen
You have other choices!
There are safe and effective things you can do that are natural that can
reduce pain such as:
 Drinking pure, unfiltered, raw apple juice.
In my clinic, I had people drink freshly squeezed apple juice with excellent
results! Make sure to use Granny Smith apples (organic if possible) if you’re
going to juice them yourself! These apples are low in sugar, high in fiber,
and sour. Remember, sour or bitter foods stimulate your liver to keep your
gallbladder working better.
If you are buying apple juice, do your best to buy 100% pure organic apple
juice that is raw (not pasteurized), unfiltered (don’t buy filtered), and has
not been made from concentrate. You don't want chemicals or high fructose
corn syrup going into your body, especially when your gallbladder is already
inflamed.
How much apple juice should you drink? I recommend at least a quart of
freshly squeezed apple juice a day or more. You should drink approximately
8 ounces of apple juice every couple of hours.
15
Gallbladder Attack Solution Step #3 - Hot Pack Therapy
This is an excellent way to reduce pain immediately! Place a hot water bottle
or heating pad on the right side of your abdomen for at least 2 hours. In my
experience in the clinic, I saw people get fast relief with the hot water bottle.
Gallbladder Attack Solution Step #4 - Drink Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
This produces more acid in your stomach, which in turn digests your foods
better to take the stress off your liver and gallbladder. Mix 1/4 cup of apple
cider vinegar in 4 ounces of water and sip this every hour until the pain
subsides.
Gallbladder Attack Solution Step #5 - Rest!
Your body goes through a tremendous amount of stress when you have a
gallbladder attack. It's very important that you lay down and rest and much
as possible.
Lay on your stomach to relieve any pressure. Or just put your feet up while
putting the hot water bottle on you right side. Take a break for a few hours.
Gallbladder Attack Solution Step #6 - Drink Peppermint Tea
When you drink peppermint tea after meals, it helps your body digest the
foods, soothes inflammation, and has a cooling effect. If you drink one cup
after your meals, you'll also have less gas, bloating, or belching, which is
always a nice side benefit!
You can drink it warm or cool and add a touch of honey for flavor.
Gallbladder Attack Solution Step #7 - Drink Lemon Water
Lemon is a natural emulsifier. Dishwashing liquids made with lemons are
advertised as cutting grease on dirty dishes. Lemons work the same way in
your body! It cuts the fats down into useable portions so your liver and
gallbladder don't get stressed out with the extra work. Squeeze one fresh
lemon in a quart of water and drink it throughout the day.
When you eat out, make sure to ask for extra lemons. Add the lemon juice
to your water or squeeze some on your food to aid your digestion.
16
Gallbladder Attack Solution Step #8 - Eat Bitter Foods
By eating bitter foods, you stimulate bile flow. Eating bitter melon, endives,
mustard greens, etc. can immediately bring relief when you have a
gallbladder attack. You may also eat 1/2 cup bitter greens such as:

Turmeric
Aloe vera is also a bitter food. Drink 1/2 cup of aloe vera juice, which you
should be able to find at your local health food store.
17
Gallbladder Attack Solution Step #9 - Have a Colonic or Coffee
Enema
Most of us don't like to think about it, but when your bowels are plugged,
they can expand and put pressure on your liver and gallbladder. By doing a
colonic or coffee enema to open up your bowels, you can have immediate
relief from your gallbladder attack.
If you decide to get a colonic, a good place to find a professional colon
hydrotherapist is through the International Association for Colon
Hydrotherapy:

Gallbladder Attack Solution Step #10- Do a Liver/Gallbladder Flush
There are many types of flushes on the market, but in my 35 years of
experience in this industry I've learned which ones work and which ones are
a complete waste of time. Watching thousands of folks going through the
process opened my eyes to the truth of the matter – that drinking just olive
oil and lemon juice was NOT for everyone!

Understanding the Pain of a
Gallbladder Attack
Once you are past the “attack" stage, I want to make sure you never have
one again! Let's look at a few reasons you have gallbladder attacks:
 Eating fatty fried foods spikes your cholesterol
 Eating meat at every meal slows down your blood flow putting more
pressure on your heart
 Skipping on veggies keeps you from having good bowel movements
Let's look at how these can cause gallbladder attacks.
Fatty foods are extremely difficult to break down in your body if you are
already overloaded, stressed, and suffering from bloating issues! You do
need fats in your diet, but you need “good fats.” Good fats are natural to
your body and easy to break down
You can easily switch to good natural fats. Here is a list of foods containing
natural fats that are much easier to digest and are good for you – especially
for your skin, your hair, your nervous system and your liver:
 Avocados
 Raw Nuts
 Raw Seeds
 Olives
 Olive Oil
 Fish
 Butter
 Coconuts
 Coconut Milk
Here







are practical details on choosing these natural fats:
Avocados – peel them and eat them when the skin is soft
Olives – black and green low sodium are best
Raw nuts – walnuts, pecans, Brazil, hazelnuts
Raw seeds – flaxseeds, pumpkin, sunflower
Olive oil – 100% extra virgin, cold pressed
Fish – halibut, cod, flounder (avoid salmon – it’s too hard to digest)
Coconut milk – without preservatives
While these natural fats are better than processed fats (like lard or corn oils
or margarine), they are still difficult to break down when your gallbladder is
19
irritated. If you’ve had a recent gallbladder attack, you need to avoid all
fats, natural or processed, for 30 days to give your body a rest.
Another food you must avoid at all costs if you have had a gallbladder attack
is pork (including ham, bacon, sausage, etc.). Pork contains high amounts
of the wrong kinds of fats and is one of the hardest meats to digest. Eating
pork can also cause a tremendous amount of joint pain due to the uric acid
build-up! It is not worth the pain!
The problem with eating meat is that most people eat big dinners with red
meat, potatoes, and bread—and this is the worst time of day to eat such a
hard to digest meal. Lunch is a better time to eat red meats, because it
gives your body time to break down the fats.
However, if you want to avoid having another gallbladder attack, you really
want to cut down on your meat intake in general, and you want to eat meats
that are easier to digest. Healthier meats to eat are:
 Chicken
 Turkey
 Fish
Let’s talk about fish. Most people are told that eating salmon is good for you
because it has omega 3-6-9 which is true. However, in my clinical
experience, most people have a hard time breaking down this high fat fish.
Eating a less fatty fish such as cod, flounder, halibut, and tilapia are much
easier on your liver and less stressful to break down the fats. Simply bake,
broil, or steam the fish and add steamed veggies like asparagus, broccoli,
cauliflower, carrots, beets, etc. for a delicious low fat dinner.
The reason why eating veggies is so important to keep your gallbladder
healthy is because of the cellulose – or high fiber they contain –plus the
enzymes, minerals, and vitamins which keep your organs in top-notch
working order!
20
When you skip out on veggies, you skip on the health benefits that can keep
your gallbladder intact.
Here

are the best veggies to eat with your chicken, turkey or fish:
Asparagus
Beans , green & yellow
Beets
Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Carrots
Cauliflower
Celery
Chard, Swiss
Collards
Garlic
Leafy greens – romaine lettuce, purple leaf (no iceberg)
Peppers, hot
Squash
Tomatoes
Zucchini
The worst veggies to eat are:
 Cabbage
 Cucumbers
 Radishes
 Garbanzo beans (includes hummus)
 Leeks
 Onions
 Parsley
 Sweet peppers
The reason you should avoid these vegetables is because of the type of fiber
they have. Their fiber makes them more difficult to digest and can actually
cause you more bloating and indigestion!
