Brief Answer:
definitely not western medicine
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
first of all let me tell you that in western medicine nobody can diagnose illnesses by looking into the eyes of the patient. There are rare exceptions where the doctor may look at the tiny blood vessels of the eye and extract useful information about hypertension, diabetes, etc but that's all.
I can't comment on herbal remedies. I can only say that they don't have a proven value in medicine (at least most of them) and their effects are not fully documented. If your doctor has a legitimate license to practice and is registered to the local medical council then I suppose you can trust the instructions. Please let me clarify though that I cannot provide detailed information about the suggested products because - as I said - they are not very well documented. Oberid is supposed to cause weight loss and it may help with the cholesterol.
Overweight or obese patients with hypertension and fatty liver commonly also have high cholesterol. High cholesterol does not always require treatment. The doctor should calculate your cardiovascular risk and advise you accordingly.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
I'll be glad to comment on your medical problems the western way, if you feel that you need advise.
Kind Regards!
