How much of Chanca Piedra do I take for kidney stones?
I have chanca piedra pills, 500mg how many of these do i take per day to help with kidney stones?
----------
There are plenty of people ready to sell you chanca piedra as a 'stone breaker', but there is very little evidence indeed that chanca piedra will do anything at all for existing kidney stones.
However you need to contact the manufacturer of your brand to establish the recommended dosage. Ask the about side effects and risks while you're at it. (

Chanca Piedra for Kidney Stones?
Has anyone ever tried Chanca Piedra with success for their kidney stones?
----------
Hi
If you read the rain-tree entry for Chanca piedra it is stated that in1990 a Nicole Maxwell reported that Dr. Wolfram Wiemann (of Nuremburg, Germany) treated over 100 kidney stone patients with chanca piedra obtained in Peru and found it to be 94% successful in eliminating stones within a week or two.

It has to be worth trying but I would only take in consultation with your doctor. Plus don't take anything herbal without consulting a doctor first if you are on prescribed meds as there is a phenomenon known as herb-drug interactions so you need to know if this could occur with your meds. Also if you are going to take it find a supplier that supplies from a sustainable eco-friendly source.
Best wishes. (

----------
Piedra, meaning stone in Spanish, is an asymptomatic fungal infection of the hair shaft, resulting in the formation of nodules of different hardness on the infected hair. The infection, also known as trichomycosis nodularis, is a superficial fungal infection arising from the pathogen being restricted to the stratum corneum,
The source of infection is unknown and person-to-person transmission has been suggested, but this is not clear. Both sexes and The source of infection is unknown and person-to-person transmission has been suggested, but this is not clear. Both sexes and people of all ages are equally affected. Two varieties of piedra may be seen; one called black piedra and one called white piedra
Shaving or clipping the infected hair is the best treatment for both types of piedra, but this is often not considered acceptable, particularly by women. Antifungal therapy may be initiated in conjunction with shaving. Black piedra may be treated with oral terbinafine, an anti fungal drug. (

Anyone every try Chanca Piedra also known as Royal Break-Stone for Gallstones?
I went to the hospital last October (for heart related issues) and they found I had gallstones. They determined that they weren’t serious and did nothing. I talked to my doctor and he said the same but I am sick most days with all the symptoms of someone who has gallstones. I was given prescription pills and still no improvement. I then decided to take a chance and buy Chanca Piedra online. It is claimed that they can break and expel the stones. It says that side effects are cramping during the expulsion of stones. I had really bad cramping 1 week ago and no stomach or back problems since! I eat what I want too! I am really hoping I am cured. I go to the doctor a week from now and I will hopefully have another ultrasound soon. I am really just curious if anyone else has tried these pills and if they helped.
----------
I tried to buy them once, but could not find anyone who sold them.
