The Size of A BB, it Was

My friend is Mayan and he mentioned something called chaya I think that's how it's spelled. A tea made from that plant will make the calcium in your kidneys break up. Many people pass most of the minerals solute in their urine but it also reduces the kidney stone size so they are much easier to pass. Although it does not grow well away from the Yucatan.

One thing is to avoid excessive use of antacids like Tums and Rolaids, the added calcium can aggravate the situation.

Well I don't take antacids - and I disowned my parents when they divorced; so it can't be hereditary.

Chaya??

Sounds like water, juices, and some of that delicious Chayan tea for me.
