Gallstones

davita

Thanks meerkat and PSW. I've Pmd meerkat but I'm currently in Jakarta until mid jan so if anyone knows where to buy this Chanca Piedra in Jakarta I'd love to give it a try. My doctor wants to give me another ultra-scan when I return to Bali to see if the stone/polyps has moved....I'd love him to see it had vanished...and would be a relief for me too.

You've probably checked already, but just in case you did not, Google Chanca Piedra and you'll see it is readily available, and not expensive, from many places.

davita wroteFollowing my own advice I'm starting a new thread rather than continuing the one about Dengue Fever. I went to Prima Medika today to have my Ultra Scan. They found what appears to be a gallbladder stone although the experts aren't sure. I'm a little frightened but the internest (same Doctor from Siloam) didn't think too much problem unless he sees if it moves in the next month or so. He says it could be a simple polyps which, at my age, had very little chance of becoming virulent and I'd likely die from something else. He didn't appear to be in any haste to take my money so I asssumed there might be a fair bit of life left.....the way my wife spends the money will out first. Gallbladder...they see this Dilatation, no thickening, stone or polyps size 6.4mm, not mobile. The rest of the scan....Spleen normal; Prostrate a little enlarged but has been on previous tests; Liver normal; Pancreas normal; Kidney cyst in right side. Not given much attention.. Left kidney OK; Bladder OK:.....and no other issues. I'm looking for members who have some experience in Gallbladder issues and advice. If this is confirmed I understand it might need to be surgically removed as it's too big to pass normally....what does that entail? I'd heard they can be broken down and passed with some discomfort but I'm already paying for the Full Monty...lie on the bed half in the vodkabag then they make ye breath thru mask Coz the nurse can't smell the milk and cheese stink. Then they get a chain saw started but, I im told thats only for practice..I don't know....so long as it don't hurt much. I have to confess I've never even had discomfort in that area and wonder how it could grow and not be noticed....anyway, appreciate all advice....including jokes.:tongue: FYI...With a Kitas/|Kitap the cost was.... Doctors consultation....Rp. 250,000 Admin Fee ....Rp. 15,000 Radiology Ultra Scan....Rp. 360,000 Total ... Rp 625,000

I have had Gallbladder issues-(swollen gallbladder) and related consequences which I won't go into here just now.To answer your question re treatments-the effective treatment I found was a tree medicine from the Amazon,Chanca Piedra -literally translated as 'the stone breaker' Look up other patients reports of how effective it is on WebMD website,there are many - here are just a few select comments from WebMD - Comment: I had classic gallbladder pain under the right side rib cage, recurring and worsening over a period of months. Doctor had me do an ultrasound and it showed a very enlarged common bile duct. I did my homework and decided to try chanca piedra before any surgery. Pain was gone within a week or two of taking it every day as directed, 15 minutes before meals. I occasionally get the gallbladder sensations or pains back when I overeat a number of days in a row, esp. if a lot of fat. Chanca again helps me get back on track. I also like the fact that it has some research showing it seems to strengthen the liver and may enable the liver to overcome some forms of hepatitis. I have noticed that the capsules seem much more effective than the tincture, for me Comment: After 36 hours of taking chanca piedra tea the kidney stone, that my surgeaon had said only an operation could evacuate because of its size and density, in my kidney came out while I was urnating. I felt no pain. Comment: Used for kidney stones and pain from stones moving. I have used on more than one occasion. 1 tablespoon powder as a tea in hot water. add juice from 1/2 lemon. Use when you suspect slightest pain in kidney area. Comment: I'v been taking it for gallstones have been taking for 4 months. No side effects whatsoever no gallstone pain. Comment: I took Chanca Piedra with another herb Hercampuri, to treat Acid Reflux. It improved my condition within 2 months, but since it recurred occasionally I was advised to continue it for a year. At the end of six months the acid reflux was gone. An unexpected benefit was the elimination of moderate/severe eczema that I had had for over 30 years! I stopped taking the extremely strong topical steroids and have not gone back, it has been almost 2 years since. These herbs are wonderful. I had no side effects. I continued the treatment for another year as I reintroduced foods that formerly I had sensitivity to. I have tiny patches of eczema that have occasionally recurred when I indulge heavily in nuts or tomatoes. Nothing like what I had before. Hide Full Comment A friend sent me an article on Chanca Piedra (Phyllanthus niruri). I immediately purchased some in a capsule form 500 mg. I take it three times a day. Since taking this herbal supplement I have not had any kidney stones, when in the past I would get at least one every two months. I highly recommend that people try this herbal supplement pm me if you want to know where to get chanca piedra

Thanks ....I did but all I saw was ebay/amazon/alibaba etc. I'm not happy to internet shop in RI...... especially for pharmaceutical products. I was hoping someone would tell me a pharmacy in Jakarta or Bali I could-walk in and buy. I guess I'll go shopping locally and check Guardian etc but, usually, in Indonesia , they use different words for the same product. Edit: I tried the normal Century/Guardian here in Jakarta but they never heard of Chanca Piedra....does it have another name in Indonesia? Oh! just googled and its called meniran here....anyone know where to buy locally Jakarta/Bali?
