A member asked:
Surgical consult-gallbladder sludge and gallstone means what? my doctor sent me these instructions. any advice on what it means?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What instructions?: The standard treatment for gallstones is removing your gallbladder; i believe this should be the last resort rather than initial treatment. I've had many patients have great success with natural therapies to dissolve gallstones & flush them out of the liver/gallbladder. I advise consulting a holistic md. See http://www.Townsendletter.Com/july2011/momiracles0711.Html & the book by moritz mentioned.
