CHANCA PIEDRA HERBAL PROPERTIES

CHANCA PIEDRA
(Chanca Piedra (Phyllanthus niruri)
Chanca Piedra Herbal Properties; Here’s a perfect example of a plant that would be beneficial in healing serious diseases but drug companies (government) can’t be interested because of no profits in the stock market. However, this herb is becoming more popular than when I first wrote about it in 2005.
Chanca Piedra provide essential nutrients and healing frequency vibrations which help the body to heal itself - without the risk of harmful side effects associated with conventional medicines. Consuming herbs will completely change your bio-terrain - making it more difficult for disease to develop in the first place.
Chanca Piedra it’s an example of a highly beneficial medicinal plant that deserves of much more research which has already been done more in other countries. It has typical problems as when working with a complicated, natural chemical rich plant. Unless a major (and well-funded) pharmaceutical or research company can isolate a single, patentable chemical (or can come up with a patentable extraction process that actually works as well as a simple water extract) to justify the high cost of research, Chanca Piedra probably will remain in the "unproven herbal remedy" category. Who’s going to fund the study? There just aren't enough non-profit dollars or government grant funds available to fund research on natural plant extracts that can't be patented." It’s a perfect example that Mother Nature is infinitely a better chemist. Nature will always win. Natural herb continues to work better than any man-made synthetically, chemically altered so to be a patentable extracts for big drug profits.
It has applications for kidney stones and gallstones, cellular and liver protection, hypertension, (high cholesterol), cancer prevention. Its pain-relieving and antiviral effects is gaining in popularity on many continents as an effective herbal remedy to seriously consider. It's also important to note that in all the research published over the last 20 years show no signs of toxicity or side effects have been reported in any of the human or animal studies, even in acute or chronic use.

This herb is an; analgesic (pain-reliever), anti ulcerous, antibacterial, antihepatotoxic (liver detoxifier), antilithic (prevents and eliminates kidney stones), antimalarial, antimutagenic (cellular protector), antispasmodic, antiviral, contraceptive, diuretic, gastrototonic (tones, balances, strengthens the gastric system), hepatoprotective (liver protector), hepatotonic (tones, balances, strengthens the liver), hypocholesterolemic (lowers cholesterol), hypoglycemic, hypotensive (lowers blood pressure), uterine relaxant (however, do not take if pregnant), anti fertility...there’s so much more.

It a good natural remedy for eye disorders diseases, lack of milk production, menstrual disorders, ringworm, TB, Tumors abdomen, warts, vaginal discharge, warts, renal disorders, kidney problems, urinary track infection, prostatitis, gonorrhea, venereal disease and malaria.
Traditional Remedy: A standard herb infusion or weak decoction is prepared as a traditional remedy would. Depending on what it's employed for; 1-3 cups are taken daily. Prevention and health maintenance dosages for kidney stones are reported by practitioners to be 1-3 cups weekly while 3-4 cups daily are used to expel existing stones. Some pharmacies in Brazil and South America sell concentrated fluid extracts or water/glycerin extracts. Depending on the concentration of the extracts, 2-6 ml are taken 2-3 times daily. Since most of the active chemicals are water soluble (and broken down during digestion) 2-3 g in tablets or capsules twice daily can be substituted if desired. Alcohol tinctures have not been traditionally used with Chanca Piedra (as the more fragile, water-soluble plant chemicals and steroidal are thought to be damaged in alcohol). For additional information see instructions for preparing infusions, decoctions and extracts.
Dr. Baruch Blumberg reported that Chanca Piedra could clear up the chronic carrier state of Hepatitis B in 1988, it was a big deal. Dr. Blumberg was the winner of the 1963 Nobel Prize for discovering the HBV antigen in the first place. This led to the discovery that HBV was the primary cause of liver cancer and initiated the development of HBV vaccines. Helps with HIV, Sarcoma, and Leukemia viruses.
Doctors in Brazil in medical school educate new doctors about the ability to treat kidney stones with this remedy.
In 1999 in vitro study Chanca Piedra extract exhibited the ability to block the formation of calcium oxalate crystals (the building blocks of most kidney stones) and aids in the prevention of urolithiasis. It has been reported to facilitate bladder calculi. (Urinary relaxant effect) It reduces the excess of uric acid and increases urination.
Peru’s study found it to be successful in eliminating stones within a week or two. Gallstone increases bile secretions and lowers blood cholesterol levels in rats.
Studies as far back as 1929 in India, they produce a tablet called Punarava and sold as a diuretic there.
Pain Relief: Three studies report seven times more potent as a pain-reliever than aspirin or acetaminophen. (Published 2000)
Liver: Phyllanthin + hypophyllanthin in rats protected liver damage induced by alcohol and normalized a “fatty” liver, chemical liver toxins, chronic hepatitis and jaundice return to normal in 5 days. (British Studies) It also increased life span in rats and lowered tumor growths from mutating. Helped in bone marrow and radiation in mice induced by chemicals.

Chanca Piedra has been documented with female anti-fertility effects in one mouse study (the effect was reversed 45 days after cessation of dosing). While this effect has not been documented in humans, the use of the plant is probably contraindicated in women seeking pregnancy or taking fertility drugs. This effect has not been substantiated sufficiently to be used as a contraceptive, however, and should not be relied on for such.
Standard Dosage expels stones kills bacteria Whole herb supports kidneys treats malaria Infusion: 1 cup 2-3 times daily increases urination prevents mutation Fluid Extract: 2-4 ml 2-3 relieves pain reduces fever times daily protects liver mildly laxative Capsules: 1-2 g twice daily detoxifies liver expels worms reduces spasms reduces inflammation kills viruses clears obstructions aids digestion reduces blood sugar lowers blood pressure lowers cholesterol
I hope I've made a point...drug companies nor the government are interested in getting anyone healthy at the risk of their profits which makes common sense to their creed or greed.
Rain Forest: I buy mine in bulk form from, Rain-tree Nutrition Carson City NV but, others sell it by bulk too, online. This is shipped from Peru rain forest wild i.e.. Please do your own research for further on suggestion of how to take it and better places to purchase it? There is 500 different species. comments
--An Interesting new testimony of Chanca Piedra
I use Chanca Piedra instead of Ibuprofen every night so I don't wake up in pain and can't move the next morning when my arthritis flares up. Swanson Vit. carry it (a cheaper version in caps)
