Chanca Piedra with Phyllanthus Niruri Herb Extract, 500mg, 120 Vegetarian Capsules Natural Dissolver, Kidney & Gallbladder Supplement – Revitalize Urinary Tract, Flush Impurities

For anyone considering using this to help with kidney stones, I recommend giving it a try before resorting to any more invasive of a treatment. I was diagnosed with a 10 mm kidney stone and scheduled the surgery to have it removed via surgery last June. When I heard that they had to put a stent in, I started exploring options and came upon this product. I cancelled the surgery in the hopes that I would pass the stone. Well, long story short, I did not follow the guidelines on the package and of course nothing seemed to be happening. Fast forward six months and I started experiencing intense pain again, scheduled with the urologist again for the surgery, figuring to just bite the bullet and get it over with, but they scheduled me about three weeks out. Decided to give the Chanca Piedra one more shot in the meantime, this time takiing one in the morning, one after lunch, as directed and LOTS of water. Within one week this time, the stone passed relatively pain free. So, hey, give it a shot, maybe it will save you the surgery too!!!

This Chanca Piedra works. If you have kidney stones that you need to pass and you don't want to mess with medical procedures then this WILL get them out. Within only ONE WEEK of taking this I started passing stones. After a month I passed four altogether. The first two passed painlessly. The second two, not so painless. It was like passing any other kidney stone, which is worse than childbirth (seriously-it's worse and I just gave birth less than a year ago so I remember the pain well!) I was out of commission for several days until the two stones passed- and they were huge!! I know this works and a renal utrasound shows that I have more stones so I plan on continuing to use this but am waiting for the right time- trying to muster up the strength for the possible pain ahead- but to me- it's worth it to take the natural route so I am thankful for this product.

Had a CT-confirmed 4mm kidney stone, treated with Alfuzosin (relaxes prostate and urinary tract like Flomax), with meds for pain if needed. Had a couple of uncomfortable nights prior to when this CP arrived. I was also drinking a lot of low-cal lemonade and water. Started the CP twice a day, had no more pain. About a week later, urinated out a little blood and passed a few clots, totally painless. That was about 10 days ago, no symptoms at all since. Don't know for sure the stone is gone, but it feels like it. Can't tell you for sure about whether this was responsible, or the fluid load, but I certainly had no side effects noted, so no harm. Worth trying for sure.

I only give four stars, and the reason is capsules smell and taste a little funny. Makes a bit tough to swallow. Other than that seems is a good product.

This is one of those times where one is guided to a product and company where real healing happens. I had begun having problems with the gallbladder and decided to try healing before surgery and read a wonderfully thorough and helpful review about this herb on AMAZON.Of course, cleaning up one's diet helps (eliminating all white flour, bad fats, sugar and dairy products, and not eating a meal too late at night) - a LOT. But the "edge" is the Chanca Piedra powder. I love the taste and drink 3 capsules of the powder as tea twice a day and have no more dyspepsia, even though I have had the odd occasion to be "naughty".I had tried the tincture originally (different company), but found the taste varied quite a bit and received no response to a query about it, so decided to try the powdered herb. The weird "nervous"' feeling in my stomach after eating is gone also.I REALLY appreciate the fine customer service Jason provides and feel fortunate to have found Activa Naturals. THANK YOU!

Here is my story. No one has paid me or even asked me to write this review. In april I ended up in Urgent Care and diagnosed with 4 kidney stones, a 6 mm, 2 mm and a couple 2 and a half mm.These were in both kidneys. Went to one surgeon that acted like I could live with it.Did some research on the internet after being frustrated and in God awful pain. Bought this and a tea and went to a new surgeon that said he had to do surgery. He knew I was taking this. After surgery he said he couldn't find them. Chanca Piedra must have broke them up.Fast Forward to my 6 week checkup, I have another stone. I had some on the right but the dr. didn't go in to retrieve the right kidney stones. Asked why did I quit taking this. lol Wants to do surgery again. I said give me some time, I am back on this and today I passed a couple grains of sand again. I will NEVER quit taking this ever again. I would rather pay 30 dollars for the capsules as opposed to the surgery. I am still not done. This basically breaks the stones up, you get pieces for days at a time but it's better than the pain and better than surgery. I highly recommend this, I do drink the tea also.
