This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP Curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Natural Medicine.

Here's a video that has a few ideas which may or may not be applicable to your friend's issue:

Minimum requirements:
- Help your friend with their Kidney stones problem
- Refer to them by a number or pseudonym that you will continue to use for that friend throughout the Natural Medicine badge

To document completion of the BB, provide the following:

- Symptoms
- Duration
- Severity
- Medical diagnosis (if any)
- Your suggestions for relief (including, but not limited to)
- Behavioral

Sue gets kidney stones BAD. Complete blockage style stones regularly. She has had them evaluated and knows that they are caused by uric acid build up and is very good about eliminating those foods from her diet. Examples she has eliminated include grapes, tea, spinach, cauliflower, ect. She does drink water like it's no one's business.

She still gets the stones...

We met last November to go over her medical history, perscriptions and I modified my exsisting herbal formula to meet her needs safely. She then took the list of herbs to her Dr. for approval.

Sue decided that she wanted her formula in the powered form. Once a month for a week she adds a heaping table spoon to her evening smoothie and can't even taste it. This is her maintenance does. God forbid she gets another stone she would be taking 2 tsp 3x a day.

We are both happy she has not had a stone. Not even a baby stone!

Sue is not taking it perfectly consistently, "I'm the worst about that."

"I like the thickness of it mixed with the protein shake. It does make me pee a lot but that is literally the only side effect"
