Come on Bill , fight start drinking so much water your eyes float. I had a blocked kidney in 09 ended up getting emergency surgery for a stent to drain the poison . Weeks later they removed thirty stones from left kidney . Being quadrapertic my body don't work right . I've been using an over the counter herb it's absolutely wonderful. Called DManose , I take two in morning and three at bedtime. I haven't had any side affects just makes the pipes slippery so no bacteria attaches to the kidneys and bladder. It may help three months supply is super cheap probably $12.00 . Keep positive my friend we all still need your knowledge.
