Q: I have several large gall stones and my doctor wants me to have surgery to have my gall bladder removed. I would like to try the Royal Break-Stone but I’m afraid the gall stones might get caught in my bile duct. What is your opinion?
A: It is true that Phyllanthus niruri (Chanca Piedra) which Whole World Botanicals sells as Royal Break-Stone in Tea, Capsules and Liquid Extract has been used traditionally for removing gall stones. Most of the published scientific literature on stones concerns kidney stones – describing how Chanca Piedra dissolves the stones and helps prevent the formation of new stones. There is not much published information on gall stones.
Whole World Botanicals has numerous customer reports and health care practitioner reports on the effectiveness of Royal Break-Stone for doing a liver flush. This Flush is an alternative to the olive oil – lemon flush and in the process of this flush many stones are released from the gall bladder. This is part of a detoxification process. Usually people take 3 or 4 servings a day for 3 or 4 weeks to complete this detox process. One woman who had several large stones in her gall bladder reported to us that she was afraid to undergo this detox process because of the risk of one or more gall stone getting caught in her bile duct. So she decided to take a tiny amount – one capsule a day. After 3 months she had another ultrasound and discovered that she had 100 tiny stones in her gall bladder. In other words, one serving a day had the result of breaking up the stones but did not remove the stones. Chanca Piedra means literally “break stone” and is the popular name of the Phyllanthus niruri herb. In Brazil, it is called “Quebra Pedra” – which means exactly the same thing.
