Activa Naturals Inc. Chanca Piedra with Phyllanthus Niruri Herb Extract Supplement 120 Capsules - 500mg

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.

Had 4 small stones and now I have NONE!! HOLY MOLY this stuff works. I was having a sharp pain in the morning in my lower back and since I have hd Kidney Stones removed 2 other times.. I know the feeling. My doctor suggested that I consider this as a alternative. The first few weeks I could tell that the pain was decreasing and was using uric acid strips ( I build gout stones- IE uric acid crystals). I usually see my strips at 11 and 12 and was seeing 18 to 21. Pain was reducing and then went in for another set of ultras sound readings and NO STONES!! I had 4 and now NONE. Overall, totally amazed and the doc asked me to send to him the brand. This brand saved me $3,500 and a week off work. THANK YOU!!

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!

When I read that about the magical herb that they call Stone Crusher, it was hard to believe that something so unknown could really work as well as people were saying. Recently I had my second kidney stone and it was more than double the size of the first at 5 mm. I had been told that it might not pass on its own and would require surgery. After a day of crippling pain as it worked it's way down through my body, it finally stopped moving for a period of time which gave me enough time to do some research about different options. When I stumbled upon Chanca Piedra it just seemed way too good to be true. I ordered it to try it out even though I didn't quite believe the hype because any alternative to surgery was worth a shot. After taking it once daily for 2 weeks, it successfully broke up my stone into smaller pieces and late one evening I was happily surprised to see a large chunk of the stone pass out through my urine without any pain except a small feeling of pressure as it came out. Since then I have seen two other small specks of the stone pass. I couldn't recommend this higher! I've made it part of my daily regiment because I've read that it can even help to keep them from forming or to break them up as they do form. Give it a shot, as one kidney stone sufferer to another, you owe it to yourself to try this out!

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.
