Now, the number one point is you might have something called colostasis, okay?

Colostasis, what does that mean?

It means that your bile is being backed up.

It's not flowing through the pipes, through the tubes.

They're called, there's ducts, okay?

Like the bile ducts.

And bile is supposed to flow freely through there, but sometimes it gets thick.

And so you have this combination of too much cholesterol and not enough bile.

And then it's kind of just, it gets all jammed up and it backs up.

And it creates a lot of inflammation through the body.

Now, the bile is produced by the liver and it should drain through the ducts and be stored in the gallbladder.

And if there's a problem with these ducts, boy, you're going to have pain.

And primarily on the right side of your body, actually, you're going to be stiff and you're going to have pain.
