Calculi refer to stones that are the result of poor diet and lifestyle and that develop in the kidneys, bladder, and gallbladder.
Calculus derives from a Latin word meaning, "little stone," and is medically defined as "an abnormal stone formed in body tissues by an accumulation of mineral salts. Calculi are usually found within hollow organs or ducts and can cause obstruction and inflammation. Kinds of calculi include biliary calculus and urinary calculus. Also called stone. SOURCE: Mosby's Medical Dictionary, 3rd edition (1990), pg. 186
Biliary calculus (Latin: bilis = "bile," + calculus = "stone') is a stone formed in the biliary tract, consisting of bile pigment and calcium salts and may cause jaundice, right upper quadrant pain, obstruction, and inflammation of the gallbladder. If stones cannot pass spontaneously into the duodenum, intravenous cholangiography will reveal their location. Mosby's supra, pg. 144
Urinary calculus is a calculus formed in any part of the urinary tract. Calculi may be large enough to cause an obstruction in the flow of urine or small enough to be passed with the urine. Kinds of urinary calculi are renal calculus and vesicle calculus. Mosby's supra, pg. 1216
A major causative factor in the development of calculi (stones) is elevated cholesterol levels, which form the basis of that which holds stones (calculi) together.
Cholesterol (from animal flesh and byproducts, e.g. meat and dairy) crystallizes and combines with bile in the gallbladder and form gallstones, which block the passage and causes a host of symptoms such as upper right abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting which usually results after eating fried or fatty foods which are very acidic and thus mucus-forming.
Animal fat from meat and dairy products crystallize with mineral salts and various acids (e.g. oxalic, uric) in the kidneys and bladder and form kidney stones and bladder stones which obstruct the ducts to these organs and cause severe pain and inflammation.
Kidney stones used to be very rare in African-Americans, but things have changed. Due to collective increase in overall income, African-Americans are eating more meat and dairy products than ever before. This is especially true of African-Americans in the southeastern United States (commonly referred to as "Stone belt"). The African-American diet is more European in nature than African, and as such, constitutes a foreign diet which adversely affects the health of African-Americans more so than European-Americans who also eat the same diet as African-Americans, commonly known as SAD (Standard American Diet).
Like with all other degenerative diseases, calculus has a metaphysical etiology. Metaphysically speaking, stones (calculus) are the result of noxious and "bitter" thoughts which are chiefly rooted in jealousy and envy and which are carried around, unwisely unresolved and unexpressed over a long period of time. Since rigidity pertains to "stiffness" and "hardness" (as in "rock" solid or "rock" hardness), a rigid person, one who doesn't let him or herself feel what he/she feels, will be prone to have stones. Rigid people are more likely to be astro-zodiacally "fixed" sign individuals such as Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. Taurus by far has to be the most rigid sign in the Zodiac due to naturally being stubborn and apt to resist change.
People who use their minds a lot to "calculate" matters are often very prone to stones. These individuals think one way and then act another, making a perilous error in calculation. These individuals ignore their own inner voice and listen to others (external factors) out of fear, always calculating the outcome of thing or action in advance while ignoring their own inner voice or intuition, which knows best. Albert Einstein said: intuition is better than knowledge.
Healing from Stones (Calculus) Naturally
Diet. To heal from all calculus situations, there must be a change and improvement in diet. Just as a person cannot develop high cholesterol without eating animal and animal products (meat and dairy), likewise a person cannot develop stones (kidney, bladder or gall) without eating meat and dairy products. A vegan diet is greatly advocated for healing purposes as well as overall qualitative lifestyle purposes. Just as diet plays a role in sickness and disease, likewise it plays a role in healing and recovering from disease.
Make sure to drink plenty of water as water is a natural solvent and helps to dissolve hardened stones.
Mindset. As shown above, thoughts and actions can be rigid in nature and thus physically manifest (as disease, if the thoughts are negative). Learn to let go and trust in your Higher Self, the Tao. Stop calculating the outcome of things and/or situations to the act of ignoring your intuition. Keep an open mind, even if you don't understand a thing. Let go of jealousy and envy, which do not serve you. These are toxic, negative emotions that create acid in your body and thus create production of unhealthy mucus in the body.
Herbs. There are plenty of herbs that can be used to help eradicate stones in the body. Antilithic (anti-stone) herbs help prevent stone or gravel from developing and include: Chanca Piedra, Gravel Root (a/k/a Queen of the Meadow), Buchu, Uva Ursi, Hydrangea, Stone Root, Cornsilk, Parsley Root, Horsetail (Shavegrass), Juniper Berry, Dandelion Root, Burdock Root, Devil's Claw, Agrimony, Celery Seed, Sassafras, and Safflower (Saffron).
Dherbs.Com formulas that can assist in dissolving and eliminating calculus include Kidneys-Bladder and Adrenal, Blood and Lymphatic Formula, Acid Buster, and Electric Greens Cell Food.
Our Full Body Detox performed routinely (every 3-4 month) can help prevent and eradicate stone conditions.
If one can tolerate it, a full glass of olive oil can be drank at the end of the day after taking 3 capsules of Dherbs.Com Kidneys-Bladder and Adrenal or Acid Buster every 2-3 hours (for the entire day) and then immediately retiring to bed. While in bed, a person should put him/herself in the fetal position (arms wrapped around the knees). One may want to lick a lemon while consuming the glass of olive oil as such a feat can be extremely nauseating and rightfully so. The above routine should only be done on a weekend or a day or days one is not working.
By far, the greatest herb one could take for purposes of dissolving and eliminating any stone condition is Chanca Piedra, a potent South American herb (which literally means "to break stone"). A tea of this herb should be drank 2-3 times daily in addition to taking capsules of one of the above-named Dherbs.Com formulas, specifically Kidneys-Bladder and Adrenal.
If you suffer from calculus in the form of kidney stones, bladder stones, or gallstones, your only option for removing them is not painful and expensive surgery as you may believe or have been told by some doctor or ignorant family member or friend. Calculus, like all other diseases, can be healed naturally as outlined supra. Remember, like with everything else in life, you always have a choice, especially if you are and/or stay open-minded.
