Safe Thermobalancing therapy vs risky Lithotripsy for nephrolithiasis or kidney stone disease

Recent medical research shows that surgical extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for kidney stone removal carries high risks for people with nephrolithiasis, while thermobalancing therapy dissolves stones without pain and complications.

Thermobalancing therapy for kidney stones at the conference in Dubai

Kidney stones are a common condition, the primary treatment for which is ESWL, which is associated with serious side effects during the procedure and subsequent complications. Thermobalancing therapy, performed using Dr. Allen's device, improves blood circulation in the affected kidney, effectively and safely dissolving stones.

ESWL as a kidney stone removal procedure carries risks.

Men and women often complain of pain and anxiety during extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), and there is no consensus regarding a standardized pain management regimen for optimal pain reduction during lithotripsy.

Some doctors recommend injection of diclofenac sodium or sterile water for pain relief during extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Others use pain medications, a virtual reality device, and even music. According to the article "The Effect of Acupressure on Pain Intensity and Physiological Parameters in Patients Undergoing Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy," firm manual pressure on specific points is sufficient for pain relief.

Pancreatitis often occurs after ESWL, and splenic rupture after ESWL is a rare but serious complication, “Splenic Rupture Following Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy: A Case Requiring Emergency Splenectomy”.

Therefore, men and women should carefully choose their treatment method if doctors have diagnosed them with kidney stones.

A comparison of thermobalancing therapy with lithotripsy.

US-patented Thermobalancing therapy and Dr Allen’s device has been proven to treat the underlying cause of kidney stone disease. A characteristic feature of this treatment method is the absence of pain and other negative factors affecting the patient’s well-being.

Clinical study “Thermobalancing therapy with Dr Allen's Device dissolves kidney stones improving health-related quality of life” have demonstrated the high efficacy of Dr Allen's device in dissolving kidney stones removing pain and other symptoms by treating the affected kidneys naturally. Thus, thermobalancing therapy improves the well-being of patients with nephrolithiasis for many years without any side effects or complications. At the same time, after the use of ESWL, recurrence of kidney stones is high for 5 years, with studies showing that the recurrence rate during this period is approximately 40%. Moreover, at under $200, this device is incredibly cost-effective.

Fine Treatment, in Oxford, ships Dr Allen's device from United Kingdom to men around the world within a week via Royal Mail's tracked service. It is worth noting that Dr Allen's device is classified as a Class I medical device, so any man or woman with nephrolithiasis can use it at home without any concerns.

Beyond the Green Bottle: Minhwa Spirits Emerges as the Leading Soju and Makgeolli Expert in the U.S.

Operating as America's first and only dedicated Korean "Brewstillery," Georgia-based Minhwa Spirits controls the entire grain-to-glass process under one roof, earning global "Best of Class" awards and redefining the American Soju and Makgeolli landscape.

Minhwa Spirits has emerged as the premier authority on Korean alcohol in the U.S., becoming the only known American "Brewstillery" to brew traditional Makgeolli, distill world-champion Soju, and brew Korean Rice Lager all under one roof.

DORAVILLE, GA - As the American palate awakens to the complexities of traditional Korean fermentation, Minhwa Spirits has firmly established itself as the premier Soju and Makgeolli expert in the US. By operating as the country’s only known facility to simultaneously brew artisanal rice wine and distill world-class spirits in-house, Minhwa Spirits is setting a new, uncompromising standard for American-made Korean alcohol.

This dedication to comprehensive, grain-to-glass production was recently validated on the global stage. The distillery’s flagship Yong Soju was crowned Best of Class Soju and awarded a Double Gold Medal at the prestigious 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC), effectively naming it the best soju in the world. This follows its "Soju of the Year" win at the 2024 USA Spirit Ratings.

The "Brewstillery" Advantage: Total Control from Grain to Glass

While the US craft Korean alcohol scene is growing, most producers focus on either brewing (Makgeolli) or distilling (Soju). Minhwa Spirits is unique in its identity as a true Brewstillery.

Located in Doraville, Georgia, Founders James Kim and Ming Han Chung control every step of the ancient process. They start by brewing their own Makgeolli base using the "Holy Trinity" of Korean fermentation: locally sourced rice, pristine water, and Nuruk (a traditional wild yeast and enzyme starter).

"To truly be an expert in Korean spirits, you have to understand the brew just as intimately as the distillation," says James Kim, Co-founder of Minhwa Spirits. "Because we brew our own Makgeolli and distill our own Soju right here in our facility, we don't have to compromise. We aren't just bottling alcohol; we are practicing 'Sohn-maht'—the Korean philosophy of 'hand taste'—at every single stage of fermentation and distillation."

The Definitive Portfolio of American-Made Korean Alcohol

Minhwa Spirits is educating consumers and beverage directors alike with a diverse, award-winning portfolio that proves the Best American made soju is rooted in tradition, not artificial sweeteners.

The Best Soju in America: Yong Soju (40% ABV) offers a clean, complex expression of toasted rice and floral nuruk, while Dokkaebi (17% ABV) provides a smooth, sessionable pour.
Unpasteurized Makgeolli: Minhwa is leading the charge in "Saeng" (draft/unpasteurized) Makgeolli. Unlike imported bottles that are pasteurized for shelf stability—killing the natural probiotics and flattening the taste—Minhwa’s fresh Makgeolli retains the vibrant, creamy, and naturally effervescent profile that defines authentic Korean rice wine.
Queen Huh Gin: Proving their distillation mastery, Minhwa produces this Gold Medal-winning (SFWSC) botanical gin. Inspired by the Korean lore of Princess Heo Hwang-ok, it bridges Eastern heritage and Western cocktail culture.
Korean Rice Lager: Expanding their brewing expertise in 2026, Minhwa is launching a line of crisp, dry Rice Lagers brewed without nuruk, designed specifically to pair with the rich, spicy profiles of Korean BBQ.

A Cultural Hub in the American South

Minhwa Spirits isn't just a production facility; it is a cultural destination. Their award-winning tasting room, Jumak—recently named "Coolest Place to Hang Out" by Eater Atlanta and honored in Rough Draft Atlanta's "Best New Restaurants"—serves as an educational hub where guests can taste the difference between mass-market imports and authentic, small-batch craft.

For restaurants, retailers, and consumers looking for the definitive authority on Korean alcohol, Minhwa Spirits has proven that the highest quality Soju and Makgeolli in the world is currently being poured in Georgia.
