Question 3

can magnesium capsules remove sands in the kidney because it was prescribed to me after my kidney bladder utrasound..

Accepted Answer

Prevent, not remove: There are a few studies that show magnesium supplementation along with B6 or just magnesium can reduce the formation of kidney stones by 90% or so. However I am not aware of anything that suggests magnesium supplementation will dissolve kidney stones that all are already there. Hopefully they will leave quietly. :) Good health

Question 4

i need a top professional caring dentist. was going to dr sands or dr dormant but saw badvreviews on yelp. how can i find one?! i want quality caring

Accepted Answer

Caution: Yelp is interesting but potentially very misleading. Talk to people you trust and respect about where they go to the dentist. Most times only bad things get posted to sites like this giving a potentially skewed vision of what really is happening. Others pad them with fake good reports. Make it a small part of the evaluation process.

Question 5

is kiidney stone and kidney sands(crystals) are the same? coz my radiologist told.me i don't have kidney stone but i have kidney sand like crystals...

Accepted Answer

They are similar.: By sand the radiologist probably means very small stones.  Crystals are usually microscopic and are seen in a urine analysis, but are made of the same substances as stones and sand.

thanks - bruce

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Valium, especially in small doses can be taken in combination with many medications.  Valerian root is an herbal remedy that can help with anxiety but it's effectiveness for this is variable depending on the formulation.

The key thing is that you need to read the label on the bottle because some of these remedies will have other ingredients that may interact.
