My Dad has a gallbladder infection that doctors at his hospital do not want to operate on. Cholecystitis. They do not want to remove it because it could cause a spread of cancerous tumors from his liver. They will neither remove nor drain it, they said.
He is intubated and on a feeding tube in the CCU since Friday. His fevers are not stopping because the gallbladder is still infected and they do not want to touch it. We haven't been spoken to about alternative procedures or medications. I have to do a lot of nagging.
He is completely sedated and being roused for 10 minutes each morning to see if he will follow directions. The first two days he did, today he did not. But they said it could fluctuate. He is obviously bedridden and cannot get out of the hospital until the fevers from the gallbladder stop, and he gets extubated with a good oxygen level and breathing rate. The fever is causing a high breathing and heart rate. His red blood cells are very low. His bilirubin levels are high, but no jaundice. The gallbladder infection is causing the fever but they won't touch it.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and has the hospital allowed you to administer your own medication? I don't know how it works and am afraid to ask the question if it happens to be prohibited. He is stuck there and I don't know what they are doing... I see only antibiotics, tylenol, and sodium chloride intravenuously, and the fever is not stopping. I need to do something. The feeding tube does have some gallstone dissolvers in its ingredients like 600mg of choline, but I don't know if we can wait and see if it is enough to clear the infection. It has been a couple days of a gradual increase of feedings now and the fevers remain. He is only 72. He was able-bodied, walking, talking, eating a few weeks ago. The day after a blood transfusion he had a case of delirium in the morning, and off we went to the hospital. He also had radiation the week before, and chemo the week of the blood transfusion. We get to the hospital and find he has a gallbladder infection they don't want to touch, and he's intubated, on a feeding tube, and with constant fevers now.
I tried getting Mucomyst (which is another name for NAC) but they don't want to give it because they say his lungs are fine. Even though I pointed out a study that it could help gallstone dissolution. Have any of you administered your own medication to somebody in the critical care unit, intubated, and on a feeding tube? What did you ask the hospital staff about it? Did they prohibit or allow it? Did it take some effort to get them to say yes? Is there anything more we can ask them to do about the gallbladder fevers if they won't operate? Could we insist, would it work? Are there any procedures that the surgeon might agree to with enough persistence?
If you've read this far, your thoughts are appreciated.
I'm not a doctor, but I will pray for him.
Interventional radiology should be able to drain most inflamed gall bladders. They are giving gallstone dissolvers for a reason. I've only used them them when surgery and catheter drainage is not an option. Surgery when someone is that sick would probably be the last option, and some times it could be the beginning of the end
Dear God please be with this family in need. Please heal this man of his illnesses.
In your sons name Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Cancer requires fermentation. Remove all carbs. Go carnivore or at least very strict keto. Most cancer dies from this alone, some cancers require a day of fasting once a week. You will kill basically all cancer this way. Just keep him on it. If you don't wanna go the Dietary route go to Dr berzinski. He will either give him neoblastons or create a DNA based cancer medication for him.
This is the way, OP!
Spot on. Great post. Dr Berzinski, is he the Dr in Texas that the govt keeps from spreading the news about cancer cures?
yes
Thank you for posting his name. What he has done needs to be spread far and wide. This Dr. has been healing people and our govt has been trying to stop him for years.
Praying for your dad.
You sound like the type of person I'd want in my corner in this situation.
When they say no to something you think is right, never acquiesce.
"Doctor, can we try thing?"
"I understand, doctor, but I read a study about thing and want to make sure I've tried everything"
"But doctor, I really think thing is worth trying. It can't hurt, can it? Is the cost the issue?"
Etcetera. You could rehearse with a family member. Just be firm, calm and polite and you're likely to get what you want. Let the doc say no 10 times if you have to. You can also escalate above the doctor's head.
You've probably noticed, but talking to nurses and social workers is not nearly as effective as talking to the doctors.
You're probably not the praying type, but, especially if you reach a moment where you have a strong emotion, cry out to God. I promise you're in exactly the type of situation that can create genuine emotions that can lead to prayers being fulfilled.
If he is intubated, they will pretty much keep him sedated as most patients fight the ventilator. It sounds like the medical staff is waiting to see if the antibiotics will address the gallbladder infection which could take up to ten days. Being intubated and in CCU carries its own risks, RBCs being low don't help, but prob chemo related. As a retired ICU/CCU RN it sounds like his care is prudent and appropriate however since his initial symptoms began after the blood transfusion, I'd question the vaccination status of that blood. If vac-related there is a whole protocol to minimize the spike protein that could not be given to a sedated, intubated patient without the medical staff's help/MD's order. The only other thing I could suggest is to ask for a second opinion in that hospital. It's a reasonable request and should be honored without prejudice. My prayers are with you, they help more than most people know. God listens.
This!
Pray for earthly healing and not "God's Will Be Done" because God's will is for all of us to be with him( in Heaven)- I am sorry about what is going on, I lost my mom already and heard my dad was in bad shape- but he refuses to tell anyone who does not believe in earthly healing- best wishes to you and your family and I pray he is healed on earth in Jesus name! Amen
In my experience the hospital will not let you give him anything -- not even a Tylenol. So, if you go that route you'll have to smuggle it in.
The reason I'm responding: Mindset is very important. Do everything you can to stay positive and calm so that he feels hopeful and doesn't give up.
My significant other was hospitalized with brain and lung cancer in 2000. I heard about Essiac Tea as a holistic treatment to shrink cancer tumors so I ordered and prepared it for him. The hospital would not administer it but said I could. I gave it to him twice a day for a couple weeks. Unfortunately he said “no more” and died within a week. Ask if you can administer yourself. Worth trying!! I live in Minnesota. Prayers for your dad and you and your loved ones 🙏
Been in a situation where common sense suppplments were denied. When that happens if you know a good hypnotherapist, one who does NLP as well, you can "talk" to the pt. to activate his own body's healing. I've seen and participated in amazing MEDICAL and trauma turnarounds using this. In fact, we that know of this, use NLP scripts when dealing with EMS situations (in the past) where pt's are unconscious, in shock. It's from left field, the entire history of hypnot. has been besmirched because it had been so effective, b4 big pharma decided to shut it down. You can in a pinch, research and make your own hypno scripts. Used all the time in PTSD but it's pwoerful in medical situations. They don't want you to know this. It was used to treat shock, bleeding and anesthesia b4 chemcials, by the Brits, in India in the 1800-1900's. Do it. It can't hurt. It can save.

Praying, fren. God bless him and you for caring.
(((Big hugs))). Prayers for your father. May the Good Lord bless your father with a quick healing so he may return home soon. Through Jesus Christ from whom all good things come. Amen.
I know this isn't your dad's exact diagnosis... However I lost my mom to MRSA staph infection 14 years ago.
In my digging of herbal remedies, because I never want to lose anyone else... I found Oregano oil is very potent to MRSA and just in general to infections.
Bactericidal Property of Oregano Oil Against Multidrug-Resistant Clinical Isolates https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6182053/
I'm not going to pretend I understand all of it but it seems to sound promising for infections.
" Development of non-antibiotic alternatives to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) microbes represents one of the top priorities in healthcare and community settings, especially in the care of combat trauma-associated wound infections. Here, we investigate efficacy of oregano oil against pathogenic bacteria including MDR isolates from the combat casualties in vitro and in a mouse burn model. Oregano oil showed a significant anti-bacterial activity against 11 MDR clinical isolates including four Acinetobacter baumannii, three Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and four methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) obtained from combat casualties and two luminescent strains of PA01 and MRSA USA300, with a MIC ranging from 0.08 mg/ml to 0.64 mg/ml. Oregano oil also effectively eradicated biofilms formed by each of the 13 pathogens above at similar MICs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that oregano oil damaged bacterial cells and altered the morphology of their biofilms. While efficiently inactivating bacteria, there was no evidence of resistance development after up to 20 consecutive passages of representative bacterial strains in the presence of sublethal doses of oregano oil. "
Good luck. 🙏
If you find some useful options in the comments, but the doctors won't budge from their position, then talk to the patient advocate at the hospital. Also if you are unhappy with their current treatment options.
Also I had integrative med doctor prescribe NAC for me (no side effects).
Traditional docs typically aren't going to listen to alternative meds
Look into Ivermectin to treat this. I used Presearch.com (doesn't seem to censor like the others) and found a lot of research indicating it works.

If you've got the paste on hand, use it. Otherwise, order pill form from one of the places on this list. (The sources in TN ship very fast, but are much more expensive. The places in India take 14 to 21 days, but are cheap.)
Here's a link to the list of where to buy. A link to the dosing / treatment protocols is at the top of the page. (It's posted on Patriots.win because I'm not allowed to post it on GA any longer.)

I use chlorine dioxide for fevers and most other things (https://andreaskalcker.com/en/cds-clo2.html )
Dr Kalcker has been working with it for many years

Second this option, can use spray on option, no one would know.
