Alternatives to surgery

by SassyCat, Nov 14, 2001 12:00AM
I am wondering if I should try homeopathic remedies before I resort to surgery, though.  Does anyone know if there are any successful ones? I have heard turmeric can dissolve stones. I'm told I have "quite a lot" of stones, and two are "quite large".  I am just worried that my body won't "be the same" with out one of its organs! Thanks!

Ask your doctor about Actigall. It is used to disolve stones and thin the bile out.  This might be an option to having surgery.
