Guest guest Posted January 13, 2002 Report Share Posted January 13, 2002 Dear Barry, Yes I have heard of this herb. Sounds wonderful! BUT - all I've read is what a commercial site has said. I really would like some more knowledge before I spend the $$$$$$$. If that herb exists there (South America and India), do we not have something easily accessable and abundant in our own living environment that works? There must be something - perhaps our Native North Americans know something that we don't know. Many natives had a diet which consisted primarily of meat. - look at the Eskimos. - They also ate blubber. What would that do for your gallbladder?! Now their main problem is that due to changing to a diet such as ours (high carbs/low veg), there is a high incidence of diabetes in the Native youth. Or could this be another case of the measles to the natives? Just a thought..... Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, one method of treating gallstones is lithotripsy, which is more successfully used for treating kidney stones. It is based on shock waves breaking up the stones. So that in this context, at least, the term stone breaker is entirely appropriate. The problem with this technique in conventional medicine, is that the broken up stones still have to be removed from the gall bladder. I believe that this is the reason that lithotripsy is not used much in the United States for treating gallstones. ----------------------- IRA L. JACOBSON ----------------------- mailto:laser@...

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2002 Report Share Posted January 15, 2002 Thanks Ben, This is the kind of 'stone desolvers' I am looking for. 7 months is a long time. Do you think that over 7 months, with a good diet of juices and beets (radish, carrots, etc) that you could have done the same amount of stone reduction? 2.9 cm down to 2.3 in 7 months sounds like a slow acting method, no? I'm just thinking a change to strict dieting could achieve the same results or better without buying their product. Natural foods may do that in the same amount of time. I was looking for something faster. Of course, everyone is different and their diets as well. What works slow for some may work faster for others. I have a 1.2 cm stone. I was thinking I could just pass it with a flush but since it is calcified and in the GB vs. the liver, I want to try and soften it more or reduce more to make sure it gets out in a flush. Even though I've cleared over 100 soft liver stones on 3 flushes, I still have the 'hard' one there to get out. I'm continually looking for the 'stone breaker', 'stone reducer' to do the trick. Thanks for your help. Please tell me more about your CP experience. Were you talking a lot of it? Do you recommend it or have you found anything else that could do the same thing, or better? Thanks, Barry. > Suzanne, > > I took Chanca Piedra for about 7 months. In the first 2-3 months my 2.9cm stone dissolved down to 2.3cm and by now should be below 2. I have stopped taking CP and plan to start flushing. I assume that my stone is calcified since it can clearly be seen by ultrasound. I know that CP dissolves kidney stones in 1-3 weeks (a friend of mine has used it for that purpose). > > Regards, Ben > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2002 Report Share Posted January 15, 2002 While the subject is chanca piedra, I read that CP can cause you to get hypoglycemic. To get more info, you can contact this website owner. http://www.cfsn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt it be interesting to take another ultrasound just for the hell of it to see if the dissolvment of the stone progressed even further. It would be interesting. All the best.
