Case 1
A male patient aged 69 had been experiencing recurrent attacks of biliary pain for several months. A blood test showed the presence of high levels of bilirubin, perhaps due to temporary obstruction caused by the passage of a stone, and X-rays revealed gallbladder inflammation and gallstones. The patient was offered surgery but wanted to try herbal treatment first. He was also advised to follow a low fat diet.
