Well people I don't think kidney stones ever quit!!!! But I have found something that makes it much easier to deal with....and trust me I'm a stone maker ....I pass at least ONE A WEEK! I'll tell you what helps me its a concentrated extract called "CHANCA PIEDRA". Its called the stone breaker. I get it thru RAINTREE NUTRITION which is a company in Austin, Tx. If it didn't help me I wouldn't be leaving this message...I never want anyone to have the pain and agony of a kidney stone. I have had to have surgery 4 times for the ones I couldn't pass until I started taking this extract. Hope it helps someone.
