This is too complicated for us mortal souls.  She needs to see a professional.  Valve problems are often genetic or birth defects, but she just has so many interconnected problems that are cross-affecting one another.  If you truly want to explore the natural possibilities I suggest you see both a holistic nutritionist, since she has problems that are created or aggravated by an improper diet, and a naturopath, since she needs probiotics because of the antibiotics, a liver cleanse she really can't do because of the medication to deal with all these extra fluids and such, a urinary tract cleanse -- it's just very complicated but there might be something out there but it would require drastic changes in her lifestyle she might not be able or willing to undertake.  I hope you both find something that helps.
