Dissolve Kidney Stones

Updated: 05/09/2008

"Kidney stones, also called renal calculi, are solid concretions (crystal aggregations) of dissolved minerals in urine; calculi typically form inside the kidneys or bladder. The terms nephrolithiasis and urolithiasis refer to the presence of calculi in the kidneys and urinary tract, respectively.

Renal calculi can vary in size from as small as grains of sand to as large as a golf ball. Kidney stones typically leave the body by passage in the urine stream, and many stones are formed and passed without causing symptoms. If stones grow to sufficient size before passage %uFFFD on the order of at least 2-3 millimeters %uFFFD they can cause obstruction of the ureter. The resulting obstruction with dilation or stretching of the upper ureter and renal pelvis as well as spasm of muscle, trying to move the stone, can cause severe episodic pain, most commonly felt in the flank, lower abdomen and groin (a condition called renal colic). Renal colic can be associated with nausea and vomiting due to the embryological association of the kidneys with the intestinal tract. Hematuria (bloody urine) is commonly present due to damage to the lining of the urinary tract." (Wikipedia)

#1 REMEDY: LEMON JUICE AND OLIVE OIL

THE RECIPE: 1/7/2006: Cyndi from Durham, NC writes, "I have suffered intermittently from kidney stones for nearly 9 years. One was so bad I had to have surgery to remove it. Later, my grandmother was hospitalized with a kidney stone and told me about a home remedy given to her by a nurse and believe me, this really works! Mix 2 oz of olive oil and 2 oz of lemon juice, drink it straight down and follow with a large glass of water at the first sign of stone pain. The stone(s) will pass within 24 hours. I have eliminated at least 8 stones with this remedy and have not gone back to the urologist since I started taking this."

ALFALFA TABLETS

1 YEA   

[YEA]  11/15/2006: Kathy from West Salem, IL writes: "I took Shaklee's Alfalfa for my kidney stones. I had 3 large ones and Dr was set to blast them.Did a Cat Scan to locate them and was shocked to find them gone. He gave God the credit but I did drink lots of water and took 20 4 times a day of Alfalfa. Had read that someone else had done this and it worked for them. It worked for me too. For the bleeding I had in my first experience I have learned that Magnesium relieves that. I drank lots of water too. It cured 3 stones that the doctor described as bigger than a 50 cent piece. I really like the idea of the lemon juice and olive oil. But I tried that and like others it did not work for me. But appreciated knowing this to share with others that might find it works for them."

[YEA]  02/03/2008: Peggy from Hanover, Pa writes: "I probably have more stones than anyone I have heard of. I produce them almost at the speed of light. I watch my diet, filter my water, ect. Nothing seems to work. I recently started drinking organic apple cider vinegar with water three times a day. Use two tablespoons of vinegar to equal amounts of water. You can add honey if it helps. I noticed the color was different when I passed it. I get about one a week. The pain is just awful. I hope this helps."

CHANCY PIEDRA

2 YEA   

[YEA]  03/06/2008: alicia (wezthagooftroop@yahoo.com) from Bella Vista, Arkansas writes: "Chanca Piedra extract is a must! My husband had kidney stones that were as large as his kidney. Twice he has went through a series of surgeries to break up and remove stones.  After the second time, the Doctors told him if he ever had a stone like this again, it would mean they would have to remove his kidney.  I began researching stones.  Then next time he got kidney stones we used the Chanca Piedra.  He painlessly resolved the stones by using 60 drops of chanca piedra in a glass of water twice a day until the tincture was used up.  He never has troubles with stones now as long as he stays away from Coca-Cola.  Chanca Piedra is carried in some healthfood stores, but if you cannot find it there, it's online.  herbs4usa.com is a great place to buy it.  You can also just type in the search bar chanca piedra extract, and it will lead you to many different carriers, but raintree is the best.  I hope this is helpfull to many.  It saved my husbands life."

COCA COLA

[YEA]  05/16/2007: Duane from Portland, Oregon writes: "I've had 2 (3mm) stones over the last few years. Drink six cans of warm Coke (Pepsi doesn't work) and hold it as long as you can. Latest CT-scan found 7 more stones in one kidney and 5 in the other, so I imagine I'm going to be drinking lots of Coke in the future. Looking for any other remedies that won't rot my teeth."

EC: Each bottle of coke has 43g of sugar, so you're talking about 258g of sugar flooding the system -- dangerous!!!

[YEA]  03/16/2007: Bob from Edmonton, Canada writes: "Really interesting remedies. I've had stones for 20 years and so far have been fortunate enough to pass them all, usually one every year. On a couple of occasions on the way to the hospital to get a pain killer, knowing what was ahead of me I was drinking water and then I discovered a can of coke in the car, it was fluid so down it went. Some one told me that the acid in the coke would help relax the kidney muscle and make it easier for the stone to pass. In this case the stone passed. A ct scan recently showed multiple stones so I finally took one in last week to get analyzed to see what type it is."

CORN SILK TEA

2 YEA   

[YEA]  05/06/2007: Scott (kokopelli@gmail.com) from Coatesville, PA writes: "Having read these testimonials, I'm strongly considering trying this soon, although my stones (yes, plural) are calcium oxylate, and there seems to be some question about the effectiveness of this remedy for those types of stones. Further internet research suggests that corn silk tea, and possibly marshmallow herb or another ingredient may be effective for these types of stones. Is anyone familiar with this, and knows how to go about it?"


[YEA]Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Scott: If the body was properly alkaline, the oxalic acid would not enter the bloodstream as the intestines would neutralize the oxalic acid and get neutralized then and there and goes out the bowels. If the oxalic acid goes into the blood stream without sufficient bicarbonate, the oxalic acid will react with the calcium in the blood plasma and this tends to accumulate in the kidney forming kidney stones. Most herbs are generally effective via its ability to cause diuretic, but in some cases are not alkaline enough to prevent oxalic acid form forming. Eating foods high in oxalic acid may also worsen the condition, such as oxalic rich foods found in peanuts, beans, chocolate, for instance. Vitamin C sodium ascorbate tends to neutralize the oxalic acid, and so does vitamin B complex. Baking soda is still the most important element so that it will prevent the body form absorbing the oxalic acid by forming sodium oxalate, which are generally less reactive to the calcium to form calcium oxalate. Most people who have kidney stones, do not generally eat fruits and citric acid contents in the fruits generally will prevent oxalic acid from forming into calcium oxalate also."

I ALSO TRIED THE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. THEN AT NIGHT AFTER DINNER, I DRINK A BEER. THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE YEAST THAT FLUSHES THE STONE OUT FAST. AFTER THE THIRD NIGHT OF PAIN IS WHEN I TRIED THE BEER AND WATERMELON. THE NEXT MORNING AT 2:30 A.M. I PASSED MY STONE WITH NO PAIN. THAT WAS ON A TUESDAY MORNING. THE THIS PAST SUNDAY NIGHT, I STARTED AGAIN WITH THE PAIN. THE NEXT MORNING I STARTED THE CREAM OF TARTAR AND AT NIGHT THE BEER. I DID THAT ALL DAY MONDAY AND THIS MORNING- TUESDAY I PASSED THE BIGGEST STONE I HAVE EVER PASSED IN THE 7 YRS. OF CONSTANT STONES. I HAVE NEVER REALLY GOT A GOOD REASON FOR THE FORMING OF STONES IN MY BODY, THE ONLY THING I KNOW IS THAT THEY ARE CALCIUM STONES. I HAVE ALSO TRIED THE OLIVE OIL AND GRAPEFRUIT JUICE, THAT DOESNT REALLY WORK, BUT NEVER TRIED IT WITH LEMON JUICE WHICH MAKES MORE SENSE."

DIAGNOSING A VITAMIN C DEFICIENCY

1 YEA   

[YEA]  03/23/2005: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "Kidney stone and gallstone may be related if we are talking about vitamin C deficiency. There is a much easier way (possibility) of testing what kinds of stones you have at your home and deciding which remedies will be best for you. The methodology is quite primitive, and it is just an intellectual guess. However, if you want to try it out here it is:

This can easily be done by collecting a cup of urine sample and, quite obviously, when you do have stones or developing them there is a good chance it will be cloudy. Separate them in different cups and try adding first cup with vitamin C, Second cup, you can reserve this and test for urine conductivity and sugar in your urine using a Brix (as shown in the pH - the scoop section) If your urine clears up, in first cup then you know it is calcium phosphate. There is an imbalance of calcium:phosphate. This can be corrected by adding magnesium, boron, and possibility of determine whether your diet is more or less calcium.

In practice this is from excess dietary phosphorous which comes from meats and soft drinks. For the second cup which you test for sugar and conductivity. It means the possibility of stones to form from excess sugar if your sugar levels are much higher than normal. If the conductivity is excessive, it means your stones will form from lack of drinking water. Of course, testing your pH for your urine and if it is too low (below 6) or too high (above 7.0) then you know that stones exists because of pH imbalances. These are just rough guesses. Acid urine might mean you are taking too much meat. Alkaline urine means you are taking too much vegetables. A cloudy urine could also mean vitamin deficiency. If you take a multivitamin day one and day two you have clearer urine, then stones are avoided.

If it does not clear up and you take vitamin B complex and your urine clears up it means you have vitamin B deficiency. On the other hand if you have gout, then it is obvious you have uric acid problem which can be alleviated by taking small amounts of lithium in water about 2-5 mg/day to dissolve that. Sodium bicarbonate might help but it is obvious that taking more water and eating less meat will be most helpful.

There are many causes of kidney stones depending on the types of stones.

1. Calcium oxalate does not dissolve in acid urine, but might be helpful in prevention through more alkaline urine. However, once formed, they are impossible to dissolve. This is not common in humans, but dogs are very susceptible. Oxalates are common in spinach and rhubarb. However, diets rich in oxalates are much to be desired in case of viral diseases or cancer as oxalic acid have anticancer properties. The mysterious anticancer drugs of Doctor Koch, glyoxylide is actually a form of oxalic acid, commonly referred to as glyoxylic acid (oxalacetic acid). There is in fact three U.S. patents that deal with diets rich in oxalic acid in dealing vascular, cancer and AIDS. There is a possibility of dissolving calcium oxalate. This one exception could be disodium EDTA and sodium bicarbonate (which is alkaline). In practice, if calcium oxalate is formed using Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the most common practice by breaking the stones with the use of shockwave."

[YEA]  11/21/2007: Jeff from Columbus, GA, USA writes: "Yea to the "Dissolve Kidney Stones". I was not real thrilled by the thought of drinking olive oil, so I tried just the lemon juice to start. I guessed the olive oil was to make things a little slippery.  I've had four bouts with kidney stones over the last 10 years - all had to be lithotripsied.  I took 2 ounces of lemon juice at 3:00pm and then at 9:00pm.  The next day I felt the stone move, I repeated the processes and began to pass sand like pieces (indicative that the lemon juice may have broken the stone up).  A day later the stone passed with VERY little pain.  Next time, I'll brave up and try the olive oil too."

First you must soften with any numerous kidney cleanses. i.e. a week of apple juice.  then you must cleanse with epson salts and then do the lemon or grapefruit and olive oil routine.  It may take several tries but it works. when my wife and i did it last year we only got gravel because the cleanse had broken up the stones.  We are in our 70's and this was our first attempt at removing stones.  We plan to do this on a yearly basis with all our detox programs."

I really wanted to check the ph balance but didn't have the patience to get any strips (which would have taken 4 hours). Though I didn't have any lemons and the store across the street didn't either, limes seemed to do the trick. Now I'm not trying to product placement here but to be fair, honestly I had a shot of Noni juice too. Found some noni tea as well. I haven't drunk the tea yet but already with the lime & olive oil the pain isn't as sharp, it's a little more mellow. Followed with a liter of water and I'll continue to drink water. Good luck to anyone else needing this info. It tastes pretty strong but on the plus side it makes your lips feel great. I took a shot glass and regular glass to tumble the liquid together. Kinda airy but mixed well since I shot it like tequila!"

MAGNESIUM, CALCIUM, VITAMIN B-6

1 YEA   

[YEA]  04/23/2006: Bertha from Phoenix writes: "I have read two books by a great American researcher and nutritionist: Adelle Davis. She thoroughly explains why kidney stones are formed, that kidney stones can be prevented and that kidney stones can be dissolved. Magnesium is essential because it acidifies the urine and in acid urine stones cannot be formed. Vit B6 prevents the formation of oxalic acid kidney stones and calcium has to be present in the died because if calcium is lacking in the diet, the body will withdraw it from the bones and form the stones just the same. As magnesium interacts with calcium, if both minerals are taken in the right proportions (300 mgs of magnesium per 1 gram of calcium) kidney stones are not formed and/or can be dissolved. This is what has kept me free from stones for the last 20 years. As soon as I FEEL there's grit in my kidney, I increase my intake of magnesium and problem is gone in 24 hours."

This latest episode sent me to the ER which of course was pointless because they couldn't see anything on the CT scan and they promptly start treating you like you have a back sprain and you are just in there for the pain meds. ANYWAYS, this time I wanted to try something natural, and I tried the lemon juice/olive oil thing. 2 oz of each twice a day. This is my 3rd day, and my pain is sporadic at best now - definately less intense, and my urine stream is back to normal. I am going to continue drinking it for a couple of more days, but if it doesn't rid you of the stone, it sure makes you feel a whole lot better. I highly recommend this method, for at the very minimum - pain relief so you can function."

The Kidney Stone Cocktail, 3 oz of olive oil & 3 oz of lemone juice worked after taking it twice within six hours, stone moved within two hours of taking the first cocktail but I took the second cocktail just for good measure.

ER pain pills were little help, but he drank mixture 2 more times, each drink one on return home from ER, last before bed, were 1 to 2 oz lemon with matching olive oil, followed by large glass water. Next day his appetite was near 0. So morning drink again, 4 hours later drank again. He stayed home from work, and with each pain-free elimination, felt better. On 3rd day (ER day, next day, now 3rd day), he drank morning + lunch drink with medium appetite, now adding 1 tsp honey with both drinks. In bathroom, despite pain worries, no pain, no clumps, just greyish fluid when using bathroom - _no pain_ ever with any bathroom uses. At day 5, was again eliminating pain-free, with some fine gritty/dusty specks in bowl. How could that be pain free? Hooray! Dr follow up exam was 3rd day, we told him and another doctor. Both said keep it up. My dr never heard of it, so he is a new believer. So many people have appreciated this info from us, from you. We KNOW you prevented a surgery!"

Did the 2oz lemon juice and 2oz olive oil twice on day one and once second day. Did not notice any pain reduction but a lot of spasms in affected area. Going to the bathroom this evening and an alien shot out of my penis. My wife who is a health care professional said she had never seen a stone so big.Still having some twinges back there and wondering about multiple stones. Will continue to drink concoction for a couple of days and see what else flushes out."

[YEA]  03/20/2008: Erin from Harrison, Michigan writes: "Well...I started having UTI pain last Tuesday and it continued on and off until Friday. By Friday it was bad, my whole right side hurt and low pain in my groin area, so I went to the ER. I didn't have any infection, but Cat scan results said I did have several kidney stones, so I got pain meds. and followed up with my family doc. on Monday. She referred me to a Urologist, and I got in with him on Tuesday. He discovered then from an X-ray that I had one larger (7mm) stone in my bladder. I had others in my kidneys, but was going to have to have surgery for the large one in the bladder, cuz it wasn't coming out. Yuck!! I didn't want surgery, but he scheduled it anyway, for the following Wednesday. He also gave me Flomax to take once a day to try to help it come out, but he was 50% sure I would be having the surgery. So I came home Tues. evening and took the pill, but I was still searching for a better resolution, and discover this site. So I mixed it up, 2oz fresh squeezed lemon juice and 2oz olive oil, mixed it up and drank it down. I must say, it didn't taste good, but I immediately drank water and ate a snack following the potion. I went to bed, got up on Wed., and nothing, so I did the mix again Wed. afternoon, I only did it once that day, I was going to do it twice, but never did, cuz I really didn't like the taste. Anyway, got up on Thursday (today), did some stuff and went to work out, got home and around 2pm today, went pee, and out it came!!! It really didn't even hurt, just a little twinge and there it was!! So during this whole time, I really never had any pain other than the day I went to ER (that was because it was making it's way to the bladder). I did feel it twinge here and there, but nothing major. I went to the doc this afternoon, got another X-ray, and it's gone!! I still have some in my kidney, but those are smaller and should be able to pass without problems. He also told me to try to drink at least one or two glasses of lemon with water everyday to prevent more from forming, according to him it won't dissolve them, but just help to prevent. So, I don't know, I did take that Flomax on Tues. and Wed., but I didn't today. So, I don't know if that helped too, but I'd say the potion worked for me!!! The surgery is cancelled!! Thanks so much!!!"

[YEA]  03/17/2008: Rod (bajatango@gmail.com) from Alberta, Canada writes: "You can count me as 100 percent YEA on the lemon juice - olive oil remedy for kidney stones. My story is this... exactly 8 months and 8 days ago (July 9/07), I woke up at 630am and went to the bathroom to urinate. I went back to bed and immediately the horrendous journey began. I got the most excruciating pain out-of-the-blue, in my lower right back, lower right abdomen and right into the right groin and testicle. Like a burning knife stabbing right through me. Had no idea what is was but it had me writhing on the floor in pain for the next 16 hours at least. Couldn't get relief in any position, not even on the bed, and that is how I ended up on the floor. That night I managed to get to sleep and woke the next day feeling much less pain. Went to the ER but couldn't get in within 5-6 hours so went home. During the course of that week the pain reduced considerably, I had exactly 3 times of smoky-brown urine, but that was it. Was getting back to normal it seemed.

Fast forward 4 months later to November 18/07. Again woke early and got the worst pain imaginable out-of-the-blue again. Exact same pain, but this time was accompanied by violent vomiting that just wouldn't end, even after there was long since nothing left to vomit. Pain, just like the first attack, lasted the entire day and was excruciating again. Got to sleep again that night, and once again pain was less the next day and tolerable, but still hadn't seen a doctor about the condition yet. No blood in urine this time surprisingly enough.

Finally, after close to 8 months of discomfort and frequent urination (up to 25 times a day, I meticulously kept track one week), I went to the ER and sat out the multi-hour wait and saw a doctor. He immediately suspected kidney stones, and got me in for a CT scan after the weekend was over. Scan showed a 6mm calculus (stone) stuck in the right ureter, within an inch or 2 of the opening to the bladder. Didn't know what kind of stone it was, CT doesn't show that and this was my FIRST stone ever, so had nothing to compare to. Got an appointment with the Urologist, and he said there was pretty much no chance of passing the stone anymore if I hadn't done so in 8 months. I had just nicely started taking an anti-inflammatory and a flo medicine, plus drinking gallons of water, hoping that I could still pass the stone since I had just nicely found out that I had one. But despite this, the Urologist booked me for surgery for 4 weeks later.

Then I got desperate for a home remedy, NOT wanting the ureteroscopy surgery. I started with lemon juice but didn't have any olive oil on hand so substituted canola oil in its place. But didn't do remedy right because I was using 2 oz of lemon juice but only a tablespoon or 2 of canola oil because the taste was so bad. Then a week later I got some groceries and bought lots of lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and also some Coca-Cola and canned asparagus just in case I needed to try the other "famous" remedy found frequently on the internet.

I took 2 oz of Lemon Juice mixed with 2 oz of Olive Oil, and took this twice a day... once in the mid-afternoon and once in the late evening, at least an hour before bed. I was still taking my 1 flo med each evening, but had stopped taking the anti-inflammatory a week earlier. Three days passed and no success, so I decided to try the 6 cans of Coke and 8 oz of pureed asparagus. It was very hard to do without throwing up, being so full that the distended belly was almost too much to cope with, but I managed to do it.

No success the next morning, so went back to my Lemon Juice/Olive Oil routine. Did that for 2 days, and was giving up hope and down to my last flo med pill. Woke up 5 times that night to go pee, but still nothing. Finally got up for good at 835am, tired and depressed. Sat down to go pee this time (other times that night I stood up and strained through strainer), and while sitting and straining the pee, OUT PLOPS THE 6MM STONE into the plastic strainer!!!!!!!! NO PAIN whatsoever, just weird tickling or tweaking in my lower right side and a bit of discomfort for the first time in my lower "left" back. I was SHOCKED. 8 months, 8 days, and 2 hours and it finally came out!!!

Now to pass the stone after all this time, which most everyone thought would be impossible, was amazing and a massive relief. Was it just the lemon juice and olive oil? Or had the coke and asparagus remedy 3 days earlier also contributed? And maybe the Flomax helped too? All I know is that I danced and jumped up and down with joy after that weird, brownish, oval-shaped stone plopped out like a legless spider or beetle or something. And the last 2 days had just been with lemon juice/olive oil and 1 flo med, so I have to give most of the credit I think to the Lemon Juice and Olive Oil. And NO PAIN, stunning!

So to sum up, if I could pass a 6mm stone, stuck in the ureter for over 8 MONTHS, using the home remedies of Lemon Juice/Olive Oil, Coke/Asparagus, and 1 flomax each night, then there is hope for those in a similar situation. Oh, and drink water like it is going out of style, 10-15 full glasses per day. I was drinking after every pee, every meal, and practically every 30 mins. in between time. No little sips, full glasses of water each time. There was hope and in the end the home remedies worked. 3 days of Lemon/Olive, 1 day of Coke/Asparagus, followed by 2 days of Lemon/Olive worked for me. Thank you very much to EVERYONE that has posted on this "Earth Clinic" site, even the Nays, because in the end the great balanced opinions I got on this board told me that these were REAL people, and it came through for me in the end. Now I have to call and cancel my SURGERY....no 2-foot telescope going up the winky on this guy!!!!!"

[YEA]  03/09/2008: Nick from Tacoma, WA writes: "I never post commentaries online, as I believe people's opinions can be biased and prediposed. However, I needed to post my experience using this kidney stone remedy, as within 9 hours of drinking the 2oz olive oil and 2 oz lemon juice mixture, my kidney stone passed!

A brief background on my experience with kidney stones:  I had had one previously in 2005, a 4-5 mm renal stone.  The experience was uncomfortale and, at times, painful.  I initially thought I had appendicitis, as I experienced pain in my side like never before.  I felt like I was going to pass out from the feeling.  An Emergency Room visit confirmed the stone and, after two weeks of an uncomfortable and agonizing feeling of urinating, it spontaneously passed. 

Fast forward two and a half years later when I had the same feeling two weeks ago.  I wasn't sure it was a kidney stone until the incessant urge to urinate began a day later.  This must be one of the most uncomfortable feelings ever!  Not necessarily painful, however, it is extremely difficult to go to sleep and work, as you constantly find yourself in the bathroom trying to rid yourself of this excruciating sensation.

After two weeks, I was ready to try anything.  The vicadin wasn't working as well as it did at the onset and I needed a solution.  I googled kidney stone remedies and this site popped up.  I was, of course, skeptical at first.  However, after reading testimonial upon testimonial of people that the remedy had helped, I figured it couldn't hurt. 

I simply mixed the 2oz of olive oil with 2oz of lemon juice.  I gulped it down quickly and drank a full 8-12oz of water afterward.  Just an hour or two before the stone passed, I could tell something was going on.  My pain did escalate and I had to take a vicadin, as it was too severe to sit through.  However, the pain mysteriously subsided before the pill could even take effect and a few hours later, the stone passed.  Maybe this was the remedy taking full effect?

I'm going to a Urologist in a few weeks in hopes of finding preventative measures to never experience this again.  However, if I am unfortunate enough to have another kidney stone, you will be certain I'll be trying this remedy before anything else! 

Thanks earthclinic!!!!!"

[YEA]  03/07/2008: Rob from Ft Laud, FL writes: "Olive Oil + Lemon Juice = "The" Remedy. So this is my 3rd kidney stone in 5 years. I went through Lithotripsy, Ureteroscopy (which is incredibly painful afterwards because they make you wear a stent for a week and stings everytime you urinate).

So along comes child #3 and went online to see about passing the stone with the least pain possible.
WARNING!!! DO NOT BUY URIFLOW!!! IT DOESN'T WORK!!! I spent $60 on those pills and all they did to their credit is ease the pain a bit.

It was going on 2 1/2 weeks & 2 ER visits later and I was all out of options until I came on this site and found the Olive Oil & Lemon Juice remedy. Let me tell you that this works!!! I felt a little jolt and pop it came out! Didn't hurt at all.

Thanks so much for posting this remedy. I finally found the answer!!!"

I figured I had nothing to lose since lemon juice and olive oil sound like nothing more dangerous than salad dressing. Bought house brand Virgin Olive oil and house brand bottle of lemon juice (reconstituted from concentrate - whatever that means!) Total cash outlay $4.45. A reasonable amount - considering any alternative treatment. After two days of two swallows per day (2 oz of each, followed by glass of water) pain seemed to subside. After 4 days, ALL GONE! I don't know if the little pebble disolved and passed or if it just reduced in size to where it no longer bothers me. All I know is that if the pain should again be felt, I will start the routine again. It's been a week now - and so far I'm still AOK. Thank you website creators and contributors!"

I had a 4 mm stone and i wasnt having any pain.  I drank tons and tons of water for a week and nothing came out.  So i tried the 3oz lemon juice and 3oz olive oil combination.  i did this 3 times the first day and 2 times the next two days.  by the weekend, i gave up and thought it wouldn't do anything for me. then on monday, i went for a checkup at the urologist. he took an x-ray of my bladder and we couldn't find any stone! His conclusion was that i passed it and didnt even realize it.  I was so happy because i didnt have to go through the pain of passing the stone.  It probably dissolved into teeny tiny fragments from the lemon juice and olive oil.  As far as i know, this remedy worked for me.  Chances were that i had a calcium oxalate stone.  So for any of your that are skeptical about dissolving kidney stones (and i know everyone is different) give this remedy a try.  if this makes you sick, just add lemon juice to your water.  Ive read that calcium stones cant survive in acidic conditions. So if you drink a lot of water, stay active, and drink some acidic drinks, you'll have a good chance of breaking up a stone.  If i could do it with a 4mm stone, a lot is possible."

One evening last week, I was whizzing away, when my whole body jumped and jolted, I was startled as to what had happened. Then I looked at the bottom of the toilet and saw a rock-looking thing.Still have not had it anylized, but I feel better, no pain, no irritation.

We were scheduled for a CT scan -- but wanted to try this. The pain was horrible for him.  I had him drink it at night and then again the next night.  Pain was gone!!!!  And he has not had a reoccurence.  We are not sure if he passed the stone or not...maybe it was very small! Thanks again."

At first I was a bit skeptical, but this was my second time having a stone. The remedy was said to work favorably for calcium oxalate stones, so I decided to give it a try. Day 5 I drank my first dose just before going to bed (followed by 12oz water). Day 6 I experienced the first full day without any pain or medication. I was unsure of whether or not I could drink the mixture two days in a row so I only drank water and juice. Day 7 I drank my second mix some time in the late afternoon (followed by 8oz water). Again, I had no pain or need for medication all day. Day 8 I passed the stone while using the restroom after waking up. There was no pain involved in urinating to pass the stone."

[YEA]  02/16/2008: Lindsey from Portsmouth, NH writes: "Last Saturday morning I felt like I had a UTI, went to the ER because I was very uncomfortable and there was blood in my urine. Initial culture indicated no infection, but I was prescribed the antibiotic Bactrim. The Bactrim provided no relief from my symptoms (constant feeling of needing to urinate, very uncomfortable pressure in what felt like my urethra). Quickly developed mild allergic reaction to the sulfur in the Bactrim (canker sores in my mouth),' and asked for another antibiotic at the Dr. s office. They took a second urine culture, which was also negative for signs of infection, but had trace amounts of blood. I was prescribed Cipro and asked to to to the hospital for an ultrasound. The ultrasound revealed a 1cm kidney stone at the very end of my ureter, just at the junction of the ureter and the bladder. The Dr. called quickly thereafter saying I would likely need to undergo some type of procedeure to have the stone removed. I then found this site, spent a long time reading the posts and decided to try the lemon and olive oil.

At 10:00pm on Thursday evening I drank 2 oz of lemon juice and sopped up about 1.5 oz of olive oil with some bread. At 6:30am the following morning I noticed the pain was gone in what felt before like my urethra, but now that I have a better understanding of where the ureter meets with the bladder, I knew it had been coming from the spot where the stone was seen. They are extremely close together! Ten minutes later I had, with some serious trepidation, peed out a stone that was 5mm in width. I was thrilled, felt significantly better, and continued taking a few oz. of straight lemon juice and some olive oil (always with bread) throughout the day.

Nothing else visible has come out, but I feel 100% better and can't wait to get the reaction from the Urologist I'm scheduled to see Monday morning! Thanks for this site- I feel as if it saved me from enduring more pain, and a medical procedure to eliminate the stone (not to mention the money it would have cost).

Three month ago I began taking supplemental calcium at the suggestion of my Doctor. I have since read in a number of studies that supplemental calcium (opposed to dietary calcium) is correlated with a higher incidence of kidney stones. If the results from the lab indicated that the stone I passed is the Calcium Oxylate variety, the mystery will be solved!"

I haven't got rid of my stone tho. I want to say that some people that are prone to getting kidney stones really need to watch out for sodas and foods that contain phosphoric acid for some people it makes them form stones faster. I have to stay away from it, I forgot once and had a couple rum and cokes and not even a week later I was in a lot pain and trying to pass a stone. I believe that my dr told me I form oxalate stones.Not sure where I am gonna go from here."

No pain or awareness that I even had a procedure. First urine after procedure was very bloody which is mentally difficult.

The stones returned in June of 2007. The doctors give the run around while trying to get them removed, all the HMO crap with referrals and required tests. Anyway, last night at 9:15pm I drank the 2oz olive oil and 2 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice mixture followed by 12 ounces of water. At 7:15am I passed 4 stones. Meanwhile I felt a lot of pain and movement so I think there is more in there. As the day went on the pain subsided and the bleeding came to a stop. I think they are finally all gone. I am sore but probably in a few days I should be fine. I will now drink the mixture once a month since I am now a believer. It is easy to drink and it reminded me of something you would put on a salad. All in all, it sure beats the pain of the stones and the surgery that doctors perform. Pass the remedy to all and keep people from having surgery."

I currently do not have medical benifits.  I highly recommend the lemon juice/olive oil method  as a first treatment before seeking expensive medical treatment.

After reading the "yeas and nays", I decieded to give the concoction a try even though at the time, I was not experiencing any pain whatsoever from the four stones inhabiting my kidneys. I drank the 2oz lemon juice + 2oz extra virgin olive oil on an empty stomach, the morning of December 30th. That evening after coming home from work and while sitting and relaxing, I felt a kidney stone pass into my bladder. No pain whatsoever. I went to the bathroom and passed the stone. Again, no pain or discomfort. I've since passed two more after using the "recipe". It worked for me. The recipe ingredients can do you no harm. There's nothing to lose by trying this, except the pain and the stones."

[YEA]  01/04/2008: Rafael Rodriguez from Charlotte, NC writes: "The mix of lemons and olive oil is definitely is an excellent way to dissolve the kidney stones, it works for me, after a week of intense pain, I when to 2 different hospitals ER and both told me that a had a 6mm kidney stone, they both did the same, they' did CT scans on me and after that they gave me a bunch of drugs to deal with my pain, that was all, after charging  me with X amount of dollars they send me home with the same unbearable pain,  they also told me to contact a urologist and I did , only to find out that in order for them to begin the treatment to dissolve the kidney stone they need it $100.00 just for the appointment and them approximately between $7.000 and $9.000 dollars to try to dissolve the stone, since I did not have insurance I started to look for answers on the internet and that was how I find out about this website. I tried the mix of lemons and olive oil in the morning, I drank 2 oz of lemons juice mixed with 2oz of Olive Oil at 10:30am, I waited and try again at 4:30pm the same day, the next day at 8:30am the stone was out of my body. I think you guys are doing an excellent public service providing this kind of information. Thanks so much …"

[NAY]  12/30/2007: Patrick from Swindon, England writes: "[QUESTION] re: LEMON JUICE AND OLIVE OIL VITAMIN C -- The RDA for vitamin C in adults is 60 mg per day. Large doses of vitamin C are considered to be toxic in persons with a family history of or tendency to form kidney stones or gallbladder stones. Kidney and gallbladder stones usually consist of calcium oxalate. Oxalate occurs in high concentrations in foods such as cocoa, chocolate, rhubarb, and spinach. A fraction of the vitamin C in the body is normally broken down in the body to produce oxalate. A daily supplement of 3.0 grams of vitamin C has been found to double the level of oxalate that passes through the kidneys and is excreted into the urine. with this above, would it not add to your problems by drinking high vit c lime or lemon?"

[YEA]  12/28/2007: Malhar from Auckland, NZ writes: "Hi all, The Olive Oil and Lemon Juice remedy is magic for kidney stones. After rolling on the floor in pain, and a few pain killer injections and pills later, this was a life saver. Having gone through lithotripsy last year, I did not really want to go through that again. Fortunately, the specialist was away during the holidays, so did not get an appointment. I decided to give this a shot since I had nothing to lose. 3 table spoons of extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice thrice in 24 hours did the trick for me. The' stone passed with my urine 24 within hours of the last dose. I have to admit that it is not the best taste, but heaps better than the pain. Perhaps the other thing that must have helped is the half litre water I was drinking every one hour and passing urine regularly. There was a time when there was a bit of blood in the urine, but i suppose that's when the stone was making its way down. "Clink" against the porcelin sounded musinc to the ears. I don't know how to thank the creators of this web site and the remedy."

[NAY]  12/15/2007: Susan from Dallas, USA writes: "I've had a kidney stone for over two weeks now. I read this information on-line and decided to try it since drinking large amounts of water has not helped it to pass.  The pain has been absolutely unbearable and I have been taking upwards of 80 mg of codeine a day. I tried this remedy for two days and as I am used to the taste of Olive Oil, it did not taste bad for me but I was only able to keep it on my stomach for about 3 hours - (tried 4 times) before throwing it up.  I don't know if that's the pain, the codeine or what, but the pain was never releived and the kidney stone is still there a week after trying this.  I've tried the Apple Cider and drinking Lemon Juice with Hot Water also and no relief.  This rememdy must be for small kidney stones and as I have a tendency to have large ones, this is not going to help it "slide out". I have calcium oxalyte stones and anything acidic will not help them to dissolve - mine is the most common type but this rememdy is for those that have the other three types of stones so for those of you with oxalyte stones - I'd say, don't waste your time. If anyone knows of anything for oxalyte stones, please let me know.  I am currently trying (started yesterday) on Uriflow - we'll see how that works since I have no insurance."

[YEA]  12/14/2007: Russ from Abbotsford, BC writes: "After searching the internet for kidney stone remedies, I came across this Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Lemon Juice remedy. I had been dealing with a kidney stone for about a week and was getting impatient waiting for it to pass (I know some of you have been dealing with kidney stones alot longer!) I have to admit I was quite skeptical of the remedy, but certainly willing to try anything that might help. I drank the mixture at 10:00 in the evening, and drank lots of water before bed. At noon the next day I passed the stone without pain.  I was so excited it basically brought me to tears.  If I ever have to deal with another kidney stone, this remedy will definitely be the first one tried."

[YEA]  12/13/2007: Sadik Khan from Porbandar, India writes: "First of all, I am sorry for being a little late to update you guys. So, I had the kidney stone problem and the doctor advised me for immediate operation. The stone was 7.2mm and got stuck in the uterus (I hope this is what it was, I just forgot by now, thanks to Earth Clinic Community). This was in march 2007. I had undergone the operation and the problem got sorted out, for a while. All of sudden the stone re-emerged (may be reformed) within one month. I was so disappointed and had no liking going for another round at the doctors operation table. And then I found yoursite, earth clinic. I tried the above mentioned remedy. I was quite hopefull that it will dissolve the stone. But nothing noticiable happened during the first time. So I thought of trying it again on weekend. This time, I could feel the difference. The stone started to move. I went to office and had to come home in the middle of severe pain. I took the pain killer for the day and went to sleep. The next morning, to my surprise, I had passed the stone. I am so glad, thanks to everybody. Though I am a software enginee, I had never believed internet so much before, but I can assure you now, I am a real person who had gone through the pain all the time and I am very happy now."

[NAY]  12/11/2007: James from London, UK writes: "[COMMENT RE THE NAYS]I note that most of the naysayers gave up after trying the remedy just once or twice or only once a day or every other day, whereas most of those who were successful tried it several times a day initially. I also note that the naysayers mostly tried the smaller 2 ounce dosage and a good few complained about the taste, whereas the yeasayers were less put off by the taste and many who tried the 2 ounce dosage went on to try the 3 ounce one (something most of the naysayers apparently failed to do).

I also note that several of the naysayers had adverse reactions to the remedy, suggesting that their insides were in a worse state than others, and perhaps too acidic for the remedy to work quickly.

The naysayers were also more skepticla on the whole. Many had stuck stones. A couple or so conjectured that this might have been the reason the remedy didn't work. However there were also yeasayers who had stuck stones. One naysayer said a stone he had actually grew in size even though he had taken the remedy over a long period, suggesting that some other factor was at work that was nullifying the effect of the remedy. Was he also on medication, for example? What was his diet like? He doesn't say. I would suggest then that in general the naysayers did not try a large enough dose at sufficiently frequent intervals for a stuck stone or for stones forming in environments where they were growing and/or multiplying rapidly to be dissolved."

[NAY]  12/10/2007: Kelly from Toronto, Canada writes: "re Kidney Stones (Olive Oil & Lemon) -- So far, this is a "Nay" for me. I tried it for 2 days then went to just squeezing lemons into a large glass of water every couple of hours. The 3rd day spent drinking hot water with apple cider vinegar, to no avail. My stomach got so acidic I had to stop. I even drank a whole beer. And I HATE beer!
