Re Kidney Stones - did you see the recent thread?I've got to get something else going and quit posting on here. Having to stick around because my wife has a severe sinus infection and, worse, a possible kidney stone. The last time she had a stone it practically immobilized her. I had to basically carry and drag her to the car to go to Emergency Room. So I am afraid to leave her on her on.
Here's a summary of what I posted over there. Maybe Chanca Piedra from Amazon could help your wife.

"My doc advised me in addition to lots of water, to always drink lemonade as a regular part of my diet. This mostly solved the problem because lemonade dissolves the sharp calcium spikes that make it so difficult to get a stone to move from the kidney down to the bladder. Now I can feel it move, but just discomfort, not the severe pain.
"A friend recommends Chanca Piedra (stonebreaker in Spanish), a tea. Like lemonade, it apparently rounds off snowflake-type stones to smooth, so they can pass with just discomfort. I've reached for this a few times in the past several years when I felt a twinge. It worked as intended. Just a tickle. Recommended.
