I had jaundice about a month ago, and my bilirubin levels were at 9.02 at the highest. How long should I wait before I can safely drink alcohol again? I'm really concerned about my liver and would love to hear your advice.

-Its best to avoid alcohol for at least 3-6 months after jaundice to give your liver time to recover fully. Since your bilirubin was significantly elevated, consult your doctor to confirm liver function has normalized before drinking.

My vitamin B12 level has been at 138 for the past two years and I'm having bowel movements three times a day. I've already tried taking Vitcofol injections, five doses of 2 ml, but didn't notice any improvement. I recently heard about Metacobalamin tablets and was wondering if I should try them.

I've been having stomach burning and gas issues, so I got an abdominal ultrasound that showed gallbladder polyps. Is there any homeopathy medicine that can help with this without needing surgery?

No. Some kinds of polyps do, but not gallbladder polyps. They are more likely to grow over time in both size and numbers. There is no way to remove them without surgery.
