Question

I've been told I have a gallstone just one, around 4.9mm. Can homeopathy actually help dissolve it, or is surgery my only option? I'm a bit worried about what to do next.

Actigall (Ursodiol) is the primary drug used to dissolve gallstones. It is a naturally-occurring bile acid. This drug has almost no side effects but can rarely lead to increases in cholesterol or diarrhea. This is in marked contrast to other drugs which have been used in the past.
