Helpful tip for kidney stonesHow To Get Rid Of A Kidney/bladder Infection

Hello,

I'm reading this forum, because I'm trying to get rid of a bladder infection before it goes to my kidneys.  It's a lot better, but not gone; so I'll try the corn silk, etc., mentioned here.

Here is a helpful tip since someone mentioned kidney stones.  My husband has gotten these for many years starting at age 40 (he is 62 now).  Used to be it was excrutiatingly painful and took a couple of weeks to pass ... And sometimes the pain just subsided and then the stone would start moving again weeks later.  He was miserable.

Then I learned about Chanca Piedra.  I get it from rain-tree.Com.  It is expensive, but it works!  It helps break up the stones to smaller sizes, slightly increases the tubes for easier passage, and helps with the pain.  You put 60 drops into liquid.  I recommend putting it in water so it will go straight to the kidneys.  The first day, just do about 1/2 dosage and see if it agrees with you.  If no problem, take 60 drops in water 2 to 3 times a day.  It doesn't eliminate the pain entirely, but it makes it much more manageable.  It speeds up passing the stone to be about 2-3 days instead of 2-3 weeks.  Maintenance dosages will keep newly created stones small so that you probably would pass them without noticing much.  It truly does "break" the stones.  He passes 2-3 smaller ones instead of one big one when using this product. 

Causes of stones are dairy and other high-acid-producing foods/drink such as sugar, meat, breads, & soda.  Gout is caused by the same thing and this works even faster for gout.

My husband is just not an "alkalizing foods" kind of guy.  He loves his cheese, bread, and lots of meat.  So, we keep Chanca Piedra on hand all the time.

Hope this helps you or anyone you care about that deals with kidney stones or gout.

Thanks.

That is very interesting. i like natural remedies for health myself. Just an interesting sidenote: When you drink a lot of any liquid, it helps to flush out the kidneys, whether it's herbal tea, fruit/vegetable juce, water, ect.

Yes, you are right! Infact I think the reason why the poster of this thread successful in managing his kidney stone with herbal tea, only because the nature of any tea as diuretic substance. When you drink up tea, it will make you urinate more. Thus will help bring your stone flowing down.

Basically if the kidney stone are small, there are 2 ways for you to manage it:
1. Drink a lot of water (increase your urine volume)
2. Make base urine (if your urine acid it will easy for you to get infection. Base urine will help you avoid the infection). Bi-carbonate pil available cheap in store can be your choice.

Cured myself of a nasty kidney infectionHow To Get Rid Of A Kidney/bladder InfectionI had a really nasty kidney infection that came on in a day but that was due to falling off the candida diet. Anyway, I had lots of blood in my urine and I felt like there was an two swords spearing me on either side of the middle of my back.  I had seen a naturopath in the past dealing with the exact same thing. She had me purchase some loose leaf herbal tea and D-Mannose powder by Pure Encapsulation. It's basically the stuff in cranberries that helps with UTIs but in a more potent form. It's an all white powder, doesn't have a taste, and works BETTER than drinking a ton of cranberry juice. So, I started adding many scoops to water and chugging that all day. Granted, I got back on the candida diet ( no sugar, no processed food, no alcohol, etc) and also took several Pro-biotic pills (20 million per caps.)

So, the kidney infection went away within a few day but I'm still battling the UTI but again I notice a flare up when I eat anything with sugar (like drinking a beer). 

Hope this helps some one especially for those who hate drinking cranberry juice.

calcium stonesHow To Get Rid Of A Kidney/bladder Infection

Calcium stones are not made of dietary calcium.  In fact, dietary calcium bonds with oxylates (the most common type of stone) which are found in soda, tea, etc. And helps to clean them out of the kidneys. Giving up calcium can do more harm than good.  Don't give it up unless a well-educated doctor recommends it.
