Natural health: Gilbert’s disease and a hiatus hernia

Q. I was wondering if you have come across Gilbert’s disease, and if you have any suggestions to treat it?

A. Gilbert’s disease, once considered to be a very rare condition, now affects around 5% of the population. What basically happens is that the liver is unable to properly process bilirubin, leading to an excess in the blood.

Typically this condition doesn’t cause much trouble for the sufferer, but can result in a feeling of tiredness, loss of appetite, and mild depression.
