Aubrey questions stones & other stuff

[Guest guest]

Aubrey,

Phil had his gall bladder removed because an ultra

sound showed he had numerous stones in it. If it's

don't laproscopically (sp) is it less of a problem

with scar tissue since he doesn't have a large outside

insision or is there still the same amount of scar

tissue inside? My mom had a lot of surgeries

(hysterectomy don't two different times and I think

gall bladder) and the scar tissue got so bad it

wrapped itself around her colon so she had to have

part of her colon removed.

Fortunately I haven't had all the surgeries she's had

and still have all my parts except my tonsils and

adnoids. I did have my tubes tied by also

lapriscopically, would that create much scar tissue.

I agree with you that the progestrone creams can

differ in strength and perhaps am relying too much on

a doctor's opinion on checking out the brand to be

sure it has what it says. And since I've been in the

group and have listened to your explainations I have a

little more fear of taking supplements that aren't

regulated. The thing is that I think some of these

things can help, why don't they include them in

testing? Just because they come from natural sources

why can't they be approved by FDA? I read something

about that they had to change the molecular structure

so that it wasn't " natural " in order to make it patent

it and make it prescription - is that right?

Peg
