Re: question for the group

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I have a question about the name of a specific herb that is supposed to help

break up your stones. I can't remember the name of it, but I've heard

someone in the group speak of it. I know it's two words and the first word

starts with a " c, " the second word starts with a " p. " And it means " stone

breaker. " I want to start taking it, but like I said, I just can't remember

the name.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? If so, please write back and tell

me where to get it and if it works for you. I want to get rid of my two

stones that are giving me fits, then when I do the cleanse again, maybe I can

finally get rid of these suckers.

Thanks lots,

Susie

Hello,

No, I just found out it's Chanca Piedra, which is from South America and

means " stone breaker. "

Thanks anyway & hope you get good news.

Chanca Piedra is I believe the name of it. It's south American, can be obtsined

from Raintree.

I have a bottle, but have not started it yet.

Yes, it does have laxative affects. Some are more

sensative to it than other, I am one of those. The

laxative affect is partially caused by the affect it has

in increasing the flow of bile, but there is more to

it than that, or anything we take for gallstones would

give us diarrhea, as in general, most of them function

by increasing bile flow.

I am sorry for comments in my previous post,

I see you are doing something for you. This

with the figs would fit in with the thinking that

gallbladder trouble is related to parasites, I think,

as I know that figs (as well as pumpkin seeds) are

one of the things they suggest for parasites.

They say the little seeds inside, chewed well,

kill some parasites when they eat them...if I am

recalling correctly. What do you mean that you

have silent stones? You have seen them but they

aren't causing pain??

What do the figs actually do? What are there properties?

I wasn't saying you were making this up...I do, however,

wonder how just eating figs could get stones to come

out of the gallbladder. Do they cause the gallbladder

to contract so stones come out? It seems that only

oil would do that. I do believe they are helpful for

parasites and other things, and may just want to add

that to my " diet " ...thank you for the information!
