Most people assume that gallstones are caused by a diet high in fat because gallstones are created from cholesterol. That is only part of the story.
Gallstones are created from a thicker form of bile and a lack of movement or “emptying” of that bile from the gallbladder. Bile is a substance held in the gallbladder, and its job is to emulsify and break down fat; it is enriched with cholesterol.
The gallbladder’s role is to hold bile made by the liver and to release that bile to emulsify or break down dietary fats when they are consumed. Every time dietary fat is consumed, bile is released to do its job.
Trouble comes when insulin becomes chronically elevated. Insulin changes the way the liver produces cholesterol.
Bile is a combination of water, cholesterol, bile salts, and many other things. In hyperinsulinemia or insulin resistance, where the insulin is chronically high, the liver accelerates its production of cholesterol, making the bile more concentrated with cholesterol causing the bile to be thicker and “sludge-like”. As bile thickens, the chances of gallstones forming increase significantly. Gallstones clog the liver and gallbladder.
How Does a Low Fat Diet Lead to Gallstones?
People have been told to eat a low-fat, low-calorie diet for weight loss. Low-calorie diets don’t utilize bile, and this causes the gallbladder to remain full of bile and not empty.
Eating fat helps the gallbladder empty its bile content because fat stimulates the emulsification between bile and fat.
As you eat fat, bile and fat interact, and flush the contents out of the liver and gallbladder, then stimulating more production of healthy bile.
The best way to prevent gallstone formation is to regularly empty the bile out of the gallbladder. When fat isn’t consumed, the thick bile produced due to insulin resistance will continue to pile up and make more gallstones.
Furthermore, low-fat foods that don’t trigger the emptying of the gallbladder are typically the same foods high in carbohydrates that make insulin resistance worse.
Add in any processed foods, GMOs, or vegetable seed oils, and the “junk” making the bile thicker is magnified, leading to more gallstones and an increasingly backed-up liver. When the liver is backed up from the toxins and the detoxification pathways are clogged, the formation of gallstones is further worsened.
What Happens if You Don’t Have a Gallbladder?
Gallbladder removal is the most common surgery in the United States.
Most healthcare professionals will tell you that without a gallbladder you can’t eat fat. The opposite is true!
Without the gallbladder, the liver is able to produce bile more quickly on demand and is able to recycle bile as well. When the bile is released into the intestines to break down fat, it will also be reabsorbed back into the blood and delivered back into the intestines.
A side benefit of recycled bile salts is that it stimulates a higher metabolic rate in the fat cells. So, when you eat more fat, you produce more bile, and those bile salts encourage the metabolic rate of fat to increase.
What Causes Gallbladder Pain?
Anyone who has had gallstones will tell you it is one of the most painful conditions an individual can experience. Some people describe gallstones as feeling like a heart attack, and some women report gallstones feeling as though they are having contractions!
Did you know the gallstone themselves are not what causes the pain?
Pain is caused when gallstones get stuck while traveling through the duct (tube) to the stomach. The gallstones block the outflow of bile, which causes the gallbladder to spasm and cause pain.
How to Get Rid of Gallstones
Can you get rid of gallstones naturally? Yes.
If you have gallstones and the pain is not unbearable, then you can take action to eliminate them once and for all.
Outlined below is my protocol for getting rid of gallstones once and for all.
HOW TO GET RID OF GALLSTONES NATURALLY
The combination of the supplements included in the Ascent Diet Cleanse works synergistically to increase the permeability and health of the cell in addition to resetting the metabolism, liver health, thyroid health, and reversing diseases like diabetes, fatty liver, visceral fat, obesity, and most chronic metabolic diseases.
The Ascent Diet Cleanse kicks your body into fat-burning mode, increases physical and mental energy, balances hormones, boosts the immune system, eliminates constipation, and flushes the liver and gallbladder clean of gallstones.
The following supplements are included in the Ascent Diet Cleanse.
Accelerated Keto™ turns your body into fat-burning mode within 30 minutes and it taps into its own fat stores for energy right away.
Taking Accelerated Keto™ is the quickest way to start cleansing the liver, boost energy, encourage intermittent fasting and suppress the sugar and carb cravings that lead to gallstones.
When the body is running on ketones produced by the Accelerated Keto™ combined with intermittent fasting and a low carb diet, ATP production increases significantly, leading to enhanced physical energy. As the cravings will switch from high carbs to healthy animal protein and healthy fats that stimulate gallbladder “dumping,” gallstone formation will be minimized.
Furthermore, the additional ingredients in the Accelerated Keto™ break down saturated fats into unsaturated fats; this will help burn the dangerous visceral fat around the belly and the liver fat that lead to gallstones and a backed-up liver.
The more a person’s liver is defatted and unclogged, the easier it is for the liver to function in all areas including breaking down fat molecules into usable energy and burning the belly fat.
The liver is also where the thyroid hormone converts from T4 to T3, and as the liver function becomes better, the thyroid works better as well, increasing metabolism, mitochondrial function, and energy further. And, it is known when the thyroid isn’t functioning, digestion suffers and unexplained weight gain occurs.
Accelerated Keto™ also includes a compound known as HMB which prevents muscle wasting. With more healthy muscle tissue, more mitochondria with increased ATP are sustained and more weight loss is achieved.
Additionally, the Organic Mukul in the Accelerated Keto™ is known to break down fats in the body and provide an energy spark to burn those fats that it breaks down. It also supports joint and muscle health. In Ayurvedic Medicine, it is known to have a “Hot” or “Fire” element potency, and in this formula, it is the “match” that lights the Keto process. It detoxifies the body and liver further.
The Organic Trikatu heats up the digestive “fire”, thus allowing for extremely high absorption of Ketones and other cofactors, as well as increasing the metabolic rate.
Acceleradine® increases ATP (cellular energy) by 18 TIMES, which increases metabolism, caloric burn, brain function, physical performance, wound healing, fat burning, healthy apoptosis (destruction of diseased cells), and more.
ATP is true cellular energy; when ATP increases, energy and fat oxidation increase, leading to improved detoxification pathways and liver health.
Acceleradine® also helps improve metabolism and physical energy by supplying the necessary iodine for thyroid hormones.
As the thyroid is functioning optimally and the ATP is maximized, weight loss goals will be achieved much faster.
Accelerated Cellular Detox Powder® is a powerful organic formula that coats the stomach and intestinal lining, reduces inflammation, helps with bloat and regularity, and alleviates issues like Crohn’s disease and Colitis. It also soaks up all of the toxins throughout the day that can clog the liver and lead to more gallstone formation.
As inflammation is decreased, absorption of nutrients is improved and liver health is improved.
Accelerated Scalar Silver® is enhancing your immune system’s ability to devitalize foreign pathogens including those that contribute to Leaky Gut. By keeping the immune system strong, the body engages in anti-inflammatory processes, leading to optimal health, which encourages better liver and gallbladder health and weight loss mechanisms.
This helps heal the body with proper hydration of the cells which is essential for the liver and the whole body to detox from heavy metals and radiation in addition to proliferating healthy ATP and mitochondria. It is composed of the exact balance of minerals and electrolytes as our own blood plasma.
It supports homeostasis, rehydration, normal digestion, and liver detoxification while eliminating excess water retention. All of these factors lead to optimal gallbladder and metabolic health.
The perfect Isotonic solution of organic ocean minerals is diluted with natural alpine spring water to achieve the same consistency as your blood plasma and consists of all the needed electrolytes and minerals. This 0.9 concentration can help replenish mineral and trace element levels, gently detoxify, and support sleep, relaxation, and digestion.
The supplements included in the Liver Flush Kit soften liver stones and prep the liver to release those stones into the toilet!
The Liver Flush Kit helps to:
-
- eliminates pain, cramps, and inflammation
- helps lower AST and ALT liver enzyme counts
- replaces damaged liver cells with healthy ones
- reverses fatty liver disease
- eliminates thousands of toxins and pollutants
- reverses drug and alcohol liver damage
- flushes out unhealthy cholesterol deposits
- opens obstructions in the liver and gallbladder
- boosts the immune system
- allows the liver and gallbladder to regenerate.
As a result, detoxification improves fat burning increases and metabolic rate increases.
A liver flush 3-4 times a year is needed for optimal liver function, gallstone removal, thyroid function, metabolism, and fat burning.
With hundreds of stones sitting in your liver, your liver isn’t able to break down fats for usable energy, to detox the body of toxins that cause gallstone formation, bloat, and weight gain.
Laxa Comfort gently and naturally stimulates bowel movements. Regardless of how constipated you are, this will make having 2-3 movements a day occur consistently.
Constipation can inhibit detoxification, weight loss, and fat burning while encouraging gallstone formation.
It is essential to have emulsifying salt and minerals to stimulate “bile dumping” and digestion. This is a strongly negatively charged salt to help “pull out” positively charged toxins, parasites, and undigested fats. It helps with nausea, digesting fats, rehydration at the cellular level, detoxification from radiation and heavy metals, and stimulates digestion. And it tastes AMAZING!
Accelerated Ancient Salt™ is made from pure, raw, unbleached, unheated, unrefined ancient seabed and sea salt from pristine sources that contain no harmful or synthetic excipients. This product is a mixture of five precious salts from High-Frequency locations in the Andes Mountains, the Himalayas, and Utah.
It is Scalar Charged to further enhance its Frequency. Through the use of basic quantum mechanics combined with the high purity of raw materials, a Scalar field is developed. The resultant Scalar energy is a Higher Frequency of energy that reorganizes the DNA.

By increasing your own stem cell production and resetting over 4,000 genes to a younger state with the X39 patch, the liver and gallbladder function improves. Furthermore, the genes responsible for fat burning and healing the Gut will be reset.
As a result, it helps repair collagen in all tissues, heals Leaky Gut, activates stem cell production, encourages apoptosis of cancer and diseased cells, and discourages metastatic cancer cells.
X39 improves overall energy of the body, organ balance, and symmetry distribution of energy. While using X39, weight loss, liver, gallbladder and gut health results from the Ascent Diet Cleanse will be enhanced.
Beta-TCP helps support healthy bile flow, antioxidant function for toxin removal, fat emulsification, glucose metabolism, and digestive enzyme function.
It contains vitamin C, taurine, beet concentrate, and superoxide dismutase. Overall, this supplement helps to vitamin C, or ascorbic acid is a known antioxidant that protects human cells from tissue damage due to oxidative stress.
Choline is necessary to help the body reduce the accumulation of triglycerides in the liver and for normal synaptic transmission, brain health, and fatty acid metabolism in the liver.
Choline and inositol are members of the B-vitamin family. Inositol is also essential for brain and nervous system health. Both choline and inositol are essential components of all cell membranes.
Unlike many electrolyte supplements, nothing in Wild-Lytes disrupts liver detoxification or blocks sulfation pathways for oxalate metabolism.
Wild-Lytes target the effects of daily stress, inflammation, adrenal fatigue, and immune disruption at a cellular level, providing a foundation for whole-body health.
Dietary Changes to Help Get Rid Of Gallstones
These foods contribute to fast gallstone formation and block the liver’s detoxification pathways in addition to causing inflammation throughout the body and brain.
Eliminate Fructose and High Carb Foods
Fructose and foods high in carbohydrates lead to insulin resistance quicker than any other type of food. As a result, the bile becomes thicker and sludge-like, blocking the detoxification pathways, and forming gallstones, leading to fatty liver disease and high levels of visceral fat around the abdomen.
Focus on Wild Animal Protein
Consuming 1-1.2 grams of protein per pound of desired lean body mass from wild animal protein and wild fish will satisfy your appetite, build lean muscle mass, eliminate bloat, heal the gut, and keep you in fat-burning mode while stimulating the gallbladder to dump bile and produce fresh new bile regularly.
This will minimize the formation of gallstones and keep cholesterol in a healthy range.
Animal proteins including lamb, bison, deer, grass-fed beef, elk, wild salmon, arctic char, and other wild fish are complete proteins that include all of the essential amino acids, high omega 3 fatty acids, collagen, and the essential vitamins like Vitamin D, E, and Vitamin B’s that are needed for muscle growth, healthy brain energy, and optimal health. They also have the essential amino acids that trigger a hormone called CCK in the gut that tells the brain to suppress the appetite and eliminate the cravings for sugar and carbs which are the foods leading to gallstones.
Limit Vegetables, Grains, and Beans
Some vegetables, grains, and beans that have oxalates, sulfur, and lectins block the detoxification pathways in the liver, leading to gallstones, bloat, and weight gain.
This is due to the “plant poisons” in them.
By eliminating all beans, all grains, and most vegetables except cucumbers, asparagus, artichoke, zucchini, squash, romaine lettuce, butter lettuce, and celery, you are eliminating the most common offenders.
