My dad has kidney stones on both sides and I heard berberis vulgaris mother tincture might help. Is it really effective or does he need surgery for this?

It helps in diluting the stones and breaks them into small pieces. These very small pieces of kidney stones can then easily pass through the urinary tract without obstruction. In most cases, Berberis Vulgaris does wonders and brings positive results in the condition of kidney stones in a very short period of time.

I'm 29 and I've been married for a year, but we still haven't had a child. I found out that my sperm count is low at 11 million. The doctor suggested taking Productive M tabs for three months, but I'm also thinking about not having sex for a while to see if that helps store up my sperm. How long do you think it might take for my sperm count to get back to a normal range? I really want to help my wife get pregnantany advice would be appreciated.
