Rhoda, I have had a problem with kidney stones over the years, and I have ended up in the hospital because of a spastic ureter that causes a blockage from my kidney to my bladder. Since 2005 I have been using a product from Raintree Nutrition called Chanca Piedra, which means stone breaker. It has been my saving grace, and when I feel a sharp, stabbing pain in my back, which indicates a stone coming down the pike, I take two droppers full of the extract, and that’s the end of it. It doesn’t taste bad, kinda like prune juice, and I keep a bottle in my purse at all times.
In 2006 I had another bout with the ureter flipping over and the symptoms were immediate, a constant muscle constriction in my lower back and abdomen, fever, nausea, and purple urine. I had to take about ten droppers full of the Chanca Piedra, but after about 1 hour, all the pain left, and the ureter must have totally relaxed and straightened out. I had no insurance to go to the hospital, and I really didn’t want to go in the first place, so the relief I felt with the extract was so much more than physical. It is truly a God-send for me!
Here is the link to the plant database at Raintree: http://www.rain- tree.com/ chanca.htm
This is THE extract to have on hand if you are concerned about stones and kidney function. After skimming over the database just now, I see the plant relieves MANY symptoms and seems to be anti-EVERYTHING! Quite a remarkable remedy from the Amazon Rain Forest…try it, you’ll like it!
With blessings,
Molly
p.s. I usually order mine from http://www.iherb. com , at a reduced price.
