Hello Dr. Sharma, I have a terrible case of constipation. I am being treated by Homeopathy but it’s not working. I was instructed to take Alumina 200 C every 1 to 2 hours until this acute situation passes. However, the remedy is not working for me. Can you help me?
I was shot approximately 20 years ago in a robbery that occurred at the store where I was working. The bullet lodged in my hip area so deep that the doctors were not able to remove it. I have symptoms of heavy metal poisoning now. What would you suggest I take?
