DH has a history of stones & gout. I have gallbladder sludge.
Last attack for me, I took Chancra Piedra and it was a miracle. Pain went away and attack was aborted. My understanding is the herb softens the stones. It can be used for gall stones, gout crystals and kidney stones.
Haven’t had to use it for gout or kidney stones,yet, but I think it is very promising.
I have had three very painful kidney stone events over thirty years.
The would be 4th was found in a screening X-ray showing an 8 mm stone,,,not passable at that size, but I wasn’t in any pain as yet.
Urologist wanted a CT scan before an expected surgery to remove it and the soonest available to schedule was two weeks. I had read about chance piedra and its ability to dissolve stones and thought why not give it a try, since it couldn’t hurt.
Two weeks later the CT scan showed no kidney stone. I am not saying chance piedra helped or not or if the first X-ray was just faulty, but that is my experience.
