User Reviews for chanca piedra

So grateful I found a natural method to relieve kidney stones! I had a stone impacted in the right ureter. I explained this to a number of physicians but was not taken care of. Chanca Piedra worked so well to finally clear the ureter and some remaining stones in the kidneys. To clear the stones comes with some discomfort but quickly clears and frees the stones! Happy!!

I have had a long history of kidney stones. A few of the larger ones have been removed by laser and lithotripsy. I had 4 small stones in my left kidney and one in my right remaining ranging from 3mm to about 5mm. It was coming up to my yearly review with my doctor. I had to have an abdominal X-ray prior to my appointment to see if the stones had grown. So about 8 weeks prior to this I decided to try Chanca Piedra in powder form, which I mixed according to directions, and drank as a cold tea. I did this for two weeks. During the two weeks my joints ached which I felt was a side effect of the mixture and I had occasional back pain, but I was determined to see the two weeks out. Im so glad I did, as the X-ray showed ZERO stones. I’m thrilled to say the least! Bear in mind that a plain X-ray is not as detailed as a scan however my doc said that if there were any stones remaining that they would be so insignificant (small) they wouldn’t be a problem. I can recommend Chanca Piedra to anyone who would like to give complementary medicine a try before consenting to more invasive measures. You have nothing to lose except $30 for two packets of CP.

Yesterday I suffered with acute pain from a kidney stone or stones. For 8 hrs straight, I felt like I was in labor, only it was constant. But I did not want to go the hospital route. My daughter found chanca online, and fortunately it was in stock at a health store a few miles away. It was in a tincture with a few other herbs, and called stone breaker. I drank a dropped full in a glass of water, and within minutes was able to lie stiller, and not moan so much! The second dose a few hrs later took almost all of my pain away. The third dose produced about 15 little pieces of broken up kidney stone, with a few more that followed. Miraculous!Read More Read Less

2018 5-12: I have had 3 bouts with kidney stones. After my 2nd bout, we ordered this. I woke up to pain yesterday. I passed my stone in one day. In the past, I would be in terrible pain for days. A miracle! Thank you.

I had Hep A and Hep B and Doctors always commented when having blood tests about antibodies present .... 12 months of treatment with CP - results came back TOTALLY CLEAR ... Doctor astounded!

I had to kidney stones 4mm the first one I went to the hospital because of the pain and passed it the next day the second one I was so stressed out not knowing when it would come so I ordered chanca Piedra took one in the morning an hour before eating one at supper an hour before eating and later on at night on an empty stomach. 2 weeks later I passed the second one with absolutely no pain. I don't know why you're all just don't order this and give it to their patients instead of everybody going through all this pain.Read More Read Less

I have suffered with kidney stones over the last 12 years...with one approximately every year. I was always able to pass them but not without a couple days of excruciating pain. I started taking Herb Pharm chanca piedra liquid about a year and a half ago with my last stone. It passed after a day of taking it and a few days later I passed some very tiny stones. Because of my history of continually making stones, I have been taking chanca piedra as a preemptive measure. I haven't had any stones since. My question is...has anyone also continued to take it after passing a stone? I have searched to try to find out if there are problems in doing this, but can't find the answer.Read More Read Less

After years of kidney stones, (3 surgery�s in 2013) I tried Chanca, lemon juice, magnesium, B6 daily supplementals. It�s 2018 and ZERO stones, good liver and kidney function. Something is working and I�m not willing to reduce any supplements.

I have a 25 yr history of calcium oxolate kidney stones. The most recent episode started, as usual, with blood in the urine and pain. For the following 4 weeks I drank lots of water to help pass the stone. No luck, just pain and occasionally some blood. I then tried "Stone Breaker" (chanca piedra liquid extract) made by Herb Pharm. I also started drinking a mild mix of apple cider vinegar,lemon juice and water with the chanca piedra 3X per day. The next day the first stone passed, it looked like a grain of rice. A day later a 6 mm stone passed and within the following 5 days 3 other smaller stones passed. Was it the chanca piedra or the cider/vinegar that did the job? Who knows, but next time I feel like a stone is developing I'll definitely include the chanca piedra formulation. The Stone Breaker extract formulation includes chanca piedra, burdock seed, hydrangea root, and celery seed. I selected the Herb Pharm formulation because it was in extract liquid form and it was the first one I saw on the shelf.Read More Read Less

None, just learning about product.

I have suffered with kidney stones over 35 years, have luckily passed almost all, but have relied on lots of water and pain meds to help when they strike. Recently I had a episode and went in for a x-ray and ultra sound and was told I had a 7 mm stone in my left kidney. I Googled whether this was possible to pass, and found very positive references for chanca piedra. I ordered a bottle and after 3 pills, less than 24 hours, I passed my stone without any pain. I am a believer, and would recommend this option to anyone who has suffered and not been able to get satisfaction from their urologist or other providers. Read More Read Less

Chronic kidney stone disease for 48 years. Over the years I've had lithotripsy several times. Hydromorphone prescribed for pain. I started using chanca piedra a couple years ago. My stones dissolved... literally. On 2 occasions since, I've had minor stone discomfort which resulted in passing a tiny grain of sand size stone in what resembles an egg white like substance surrounding it. It actually looks like a micro-miniature raw egg. I upped my dosage of chanca piedra to 4 capsules daily for about a week. Chanca piedra killed the discomfort and dissolved the stones. I take one capsule per day to maintain kidney health and to prevent stone formation. I love this product. The quality of my life is better because of it.Read More Read Less

seems to work as stated. Seem to have a touch of diarrehia, will monitor the situation to see if stopping will improve condition

works awesome for gall bladder issues.

It made me pass a stone, increased urine flow. An alternative to Flowmax.

I recently had a run in with some kidney stones, I was in so much pain I could not even stand up straight. Within 8 hours they began moving and I was able to pass them without pain. Definitely a life saver for me.

I was sceptic this would work, but I'm so impressed that I had to review. My last Kidney Stone 2 years ago pain sent me to the hospital. This stone was bigger and I was expecting it, so when I started to feel my kidney ache, I started drinking 12 glasses of water a day. Cat Scan confirmed the Kidney stone. After 3 days of discomfort I broke down and bought Platinum Naturals Chanca Peidra 500mg. I took 2 in the morning and within 1 hr, the pain was minimal that I was able to go to work. I took 2 more in the afternoon when the pain started to come back. I did this for 2 days and then cut down to 1 twce a day. Woke up one night with more intense pain (doctor said it would happen as the stone traveled through one more thinner area). 2 x 400 advil and 2 chanca and I woke up feeling much better. After than I just felt like I had a UTI, so I continued to take 1 chanca twice a day for 3 more days. The pain and UTI feeling is gone. I haven't seen a stone pass yet, but all the symptoms are gone. Last time without Chanca, I suffered for 3 weeks till it passed. Read More Read Less

67 year old male had an incident of very bloody urine. Had CAT scan which showed a 6mm stone in right kidney. Started on tamsulosin 0.4 mg/daily. Saw urology and had repeat scan 2 weeks later. Stone moved into ureter. Continue on tamsulosin and started taking Chanca Piedra 400mg, 2 X a day. After a week increased dosage to 4 x a day. Scheduled for flexible ureteroscopy in 2 weeks. Continued meds and did not notice any change in symptoms. (mostly pressure in back and frequency of urination). Went in for surgery and the stone was gone. Dr. could see where the ureter wall was inflamed, but stone was gone! No laser, no shunt! I'm a happy guy!Read More Read Less
