Kidney stones grow and dissolve much like geological crystals

Interesting

I have to mention chanca piedra. A natural plant extract that dissolves kidney stones. I was scheduled for my second stone surgery and started taking chanca piedra in both liquid and pill form. All 3 stones I had came out naturally before the surgery arrived. Including one that was 8-10mm that the surgeon said could not come out without surgery.

I now take a chanca piedra pill every night to avoid chronic stones. None so far in the year since the others.

Every day? Chronic use of chanca piedra might not be safe. Look it up. Magnesium citrate, potassium citrate, vitamin B6, lemon juice and lots of water are supposed to be helpful. Mine were so bad I had to start taking a prescription diuretic to bind the calcium leaking into my urine.

You poor bastards.

Just turned 65 and all I ever had was cancer 30 odd year ago.

Oh, and the bends, once.

I had forgotten about this thread. Anyway, last month I passed a stone. Got a couple of pics of it. Not under a microscope but still...
