In 1997, she discovered stones in the right kidney funnel. In this position, even if taking the medicine, it is very difficult to excrete the stones.
" My wife has only one side of her kidney, if she has surgery again, she is afraid that her life is dangerous. The doctor advised to practice the posture of banana plantation (head upside down), try to see if it is possible to excrete stones, " People quoted. Mr. Chau.
He was just a farmer, who had just finished high school. Occasionally, he repaired several agricultural machines, but never built anything. However, at that time, his wife's health was very weak, unable to grow bananas themselves, making him extremely anxious.
He thought of a bed, helping his wife excrete kidney stones.From design to manufacturing takes less than 1 month, costs less than 150 USD . To increase the vibration for the bed, create a better effect of kidney stone excretion, he chiseled the wall of the next room, connecting the bed to the driving wheel of the plow pulling machine, making the "engine " for the bed.
Every day, after taking the medicine to clear stones, his wife lay back on the bed, shaking for about 10 minutes. After a week of re-examination, the kidneys ran out of stones , and the doctor was surprised.
Since 1997, his wife has re-examined every year, discovering kidney stones twice. Mr. Chau improved the bed, used electric motor, could rotate 360 degrees, vibrate at different angles of the kidney, helping to excrete stones.
" Now my wife is in better health, can do odd jobs," Chau said, laughing. In November 2014, he was granted "state owned equipment" by the state, and was waiting for "patent".

Since then, there have been 3 more poor patients with kidney stones, coming from his bed, also cured . Many businesses offered to buy this special bed, but he did not sell.
"This bed is a medical device, I don't have a license, so I don't dare to sell," he said. He hopes, after being granted a patent, will sell this invention to a genuine business, so that they can produce "bed of kidney stones" , helping poor patients to cure them.
