MICHAEL J. HALL
I AM A BIT YOUNGER THAN YOUR FATHER AT AGE 35. HOWEVER, I HAD THAT SAME PROBLEM WITH MY HANDS AND OFTEN DEVELOPED ITCHY HANDS AND FEET. I WENT TO SEVERAL SPECIALIST AND RAN AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF TEST. I PRETTY MUCH CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IS WAS DUE TO ACID IN MY STOMACH THAT ENTERED MY BLOOD STREAM. I REACHED THIS CONCLUSION BY TAKING ACID BLOCKERS (I.E. PREVECID OR NEXIUM)TO PREVENT THE ACID REFLUX I HAD. I THEN STOPPED TAKING THE MEDICATION TO SEE HOW MY BODY REACTED. TO MY SURPRISE I DEVELOPED A BUILDUP OF ACID IN MY STOMACH WHICH EVENTUALLY AFFECTED MY ENTIRE BODY! I FIND IT COMPLETELY AMAZING WHAT ACID CAN DO TO MY BODY IF NOT CONTROLLED. ALSO, I AM A COMPLETELY HEALTHY 35 YEAR OLD WITH NO MEDICAL PROBLEMS AT ALL. RECENTLY I DID HAVE MY GALL BLADDER TAKEN, BUT IT WAS NOT DUE TO STONES OR DISEASE. AFTER NUMEROUS TEST I DECIDED TO HAVE A LOPORSCOPIC PROCEDURE DONE TO REMOVE IT, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE (DOCTORS) NOT QUITE SURE WHAT WAS WRONG. ONCE AGAIN I TOOK A CHANCE AND CAME OUT A WINNER. THE GALL BLADDER WAS REMOVED AND WAS FOUND TO HAVE A BAD DUCT. THE DUCT WAS TO SMALL FOR THE FOOD WHICH WAS BROKEN DOWN TO GET TO THE STOMACH. BY THE WAY A GALL BLADDER CAN CAUSE ITCHING OF THE HANDS AND FEET. I FOUND THIS OUT FROM A PATIENT I HAD CONVERSATION WITH WHO WAS IN HER 60'S. SHE HAD THE GALL BLADDER TAKEN AND TO HER SURPRISE THE ITCHY HANDS AND FEET SUBSIDED. WELL, I DIDN'T MEAN TO EMAIL YOUR EAR OFF, BUT I WOULD MAYBE GIVE WHAT I TOLD YOU SOME CONSIDERATION. AFTERALL, IT CURED ME OF MY PROBLEMS 100%. I HOPE YOUR FATHER CAN GET THIS PROBLEM UNDER CONTROLL AND GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!
