Eating wads of Tic Tac sugar "pills" is far more dangerous than any herb that doctor has in her book. Not eating enough fiber might be far more dangerous than any respected herbal remedy in the long term.
Avoid possibly any need for any type of treatment by simply committing to a healthy diet like the Mediterranean Diet, getting fat from olive oil and oily fish, less meat, coupled with regular healthy exercise besides working. Well, the UPS guy probably gets all the exercise he needs by end of his work day. Most of us need to deliberately work harder at fitness.
That happens to be a very natural approach to good health.
Whatever works is good, but better is to sell the success story to your doctor. Get them on board at least with what works, but if not consider they sometimes prefer to stick with what they learned 40 years ago.
I frequented a urology clinic over a ten year span bearing me at least 40 kidney stones. He graduated med school in 1951, so i should have questioned his advice at least a little bit. He concluded that I needed o eliminate calcium from my diet, citing a persistent image of a stone hung up in my colon that looked to him like "an undissolved calcium supplement tablet". Your stones are made of calcium oxalate, so the calcium has to be drastically reduced."
Two years later, having abandoned dairy, the tablets, and other sources of calcium, I had a very unexpected heart attack. Adding a cardiologist to my schedule, I was told my blood calcium test showed I had none, which caused the heart muscle to stop working. I later birthed the "tablet", a younger more up-to-date urologist removing it from the lining of my bladder, not the colon. It was a calcium huge imbedded calcium oxalate stone, the last seen in my body.
He retired suddenly that year, closing the whole clinic, apologizing to me.
Research it all. Learn all you can about treatments, whether picked by you or your doctor. Pray over all you do, trusting God to help regulate your body as well as soul. Use some common sense, too. If someone recommends taking a bite of mushroom known to be poisonous, don't tempt God by saying grace over it then eating. If, however, you eat it ignorantly, but prayed over it, I trust the word of God that I am protected. Meanwhile I study to avoid such problems, as sometimes I forget to pray.
