Food therapy to prevent disease has been firmly rooted in the Chinese culture, which is so opposite of that of our western culture.
"For thousands of years, the Chinese have been seeking the secret to health and healing. Unlike the in the West, traditional Chinese medicine makes no clear distinction between food and medicine. As the Chinese say, food and medicine are from the same source. Respect for the healing properties of food is woven into the fabric of everyday cuisine." (Ancient Wisdom, Modern Kitchen; Wang, Sheir and Ono)
Its our clinical experience that most all bladder/kidney stones can be the the result of what traditional Chinese medicine calls Damp Heat. "In Chinese medicine Dampness is considered a type of unusable body fluid that is manufactured by faulty digestion and this underscores the recognized link."
(Manual of Natural Veterinary Medicine; Wynn; Marsden).
There has actually be Clinical studies that say a decoction of one of the herbs in our prevention mix is effective in preventing and treating urinary stones.
(Guang xi Zhong yi Yao (Guangxi Chinese Medicine and Herbology) 1990). The other herb we use is the powder made form the lining of chicken gizzards...Think about the function of this gizzard..when a chicken pecks the ground it is the gizzard that actually transforms the stones into digestible materials for the chicken.
In combination these two herbs are a source of food therapy that can be used for long term to help prevent bladder/kidney stones and crystals. Its safe, effective and easy to use, just sprinkle on the food twice a day.
