My mother is 65 and has a large, soft, painless lipoma in the middle of her upper stomach. It's been slowly growing, and since she also has diabetes, we're worried about surgery. Are there any permanent Ayurveda or homeopathy treatments that can dissolve the fatty lump from the root so it doesn't come back? We'd really prefer to avoid surgery.

The effectiveness of treatment depends on the specific condition and individual response. Some mild cases may improve with alternative therapies, but more serious issues might need conventional medical or surgical treatment. It's best to consult both specialists for a balanced approach.

I'm really worried about my brother. He's 27 years old, stands 6ft tall, and has suddenly lost 10kgs in the past two months despite no changes in his eating habits. Now he's down to 56kgs. What could be causing such a drastic weight loss? It's quite concerning, and I hope to understand what might be going on.
