Hey folks, just had the laser treatment last wednesday,
hope the stone is all gone!! I have had two lithotripsy
treatments that failed and then the laser! These stints
haven't much fun either, when the pee backs-up and
the pain starts. Anyway my question(s) are about the
holistic/herbal treatment of stones has anyone tried
these or are they snakeoil?? The reason I ask is i
did not know I had a stone until I took an herb(?)
called tribulus terrestris. The first sign was blood
in the urine. I quit taking all supplements and had
the first litho treatment. I started taking the
supplements again and the bugger moved, blocked
the kidney. Oh yea the stone is/was 10x12mm.
To cut to the chase the doc said the stone was
gummy and sticky, I have passed a piece of dark
looking rock. I will get all the poop when I go see
the doc monday.
Has anyone tried with success any of the herbal
stone dissolvers or are the all b.S. I do believe
the tribulus had some effect on he stone I just
hope there is something out there that helps.
This is my first stone hope it is my last.

Merry christmas to all
