For those who have never suffered stones, one of the worst pains you’ll ever experience is the kidney or gallbladder stone. It hurts so much you can hardly breathe and even talking becomes difficult. There isn’t a position that makes it feel better. You just hurt. And you may even be submitted to surgery, cutting out bits of you simply for relief.

The first part of my offering is Quadra Pedra (the berry from Phyllanthus Niruri). It’s so effective at fighting kidney stones that the Spanish call it chanca piedra or “shatter stone.”

Many practitioners use this berry to support the health of the kidneys, bladder, liver and gallbladder. But I recommend it mainly for preventing and even dissolving calcium oxalate crystals, which are the main component of kidney and gallbladder stones. That means you can avoid the debilitating pain of passing large stones. You also may avoid a trip to the hospital.

A study back in 2002 showed just how effective this berry is for clearing calcium oxalate and a study out of India found that it can protect your liver against oxidative stress, which causes severe cellular damage. So if you’re looking for ways to avoid kidney stones and to boost the health of your digestive organs, give chanca piedra a try.

I recommend for stones: Quebra Pedra (chanca piedra), Prescript Assist and BlockBuster AllClear (add SerraEnzyme 250,000iu if in lots of pain…) If your kettles, pipes and pans have white residue (calcium deposits) I strongly recommend drinking and cooking only with distilled water. This is sold all over the USA but I am not sure about other countries. We have a one-gallon water distiller at home here in Spain. Stop the carbs and high sugar foods, eat lots of greens for magnesium and potassium and give yourself a couple of months to clear the stones.
