OLIVE OIL AND LEMON JUICE READER FEEDBACK

[NAY]  06/07/2007: Dot from Washington, DC writes: "I have a 6 mm. stone in the lowest part of the right kidney. I took 2 oz. each of olive oil and lemon juice, drinking them separately, followed by a glass of water. Three days later, I had terrible pain in the right kidney and a lot of blood in the urine. That continued for nearly a week, and the stone has not come out. It still hurts, but a lot less than at first. I'm afraid to try this again and will go through the lithotripsy isntead."

[YEA]  05/30/2007: Robyn from Gilbert, AZ writes: "This worked for me! I just had my first experience passing a kidney stone and hope I never have to do it again. I had a painful attack one Saturday that kept me on the couch all day. The painful symptoms came and went for almost a week until I decided to go to an Urgent Care facility the next Friday night. I was told I probably had a kidney stone or a bad kidney infection. I was given antibiotics and told to watch for stones to be expelled (gross). I read about using olive oil and lemon juice on this website. On Tuesday night I was desperate and decided to try it. I mixed 2 oz of olive oil and 2 oz of lemon juice at 8 pm on Tuesday. The following day at 1:30 I passed a stone. YEA!!!!!"

[NAY]  05/30/2007: Amy from Bemidji, USA writes: "I have several stones in my right kidney. After doctoring for weeks, and creating many bills, I decided to take matters in my own hands. I am a nurse, and usually believe in modern medicine, but I thought, hey why not give it a try. I tried the Lemon juice and olive oil thing. I used lemon concentrate the first day. IT TASTESD TERRIBLE. I got nauseated about a 1/2 hour later, but the pain was gone. However no stones came out. Then the next day I bought 2 lemons, and did it again, this time with real juice. This tasted better, but still nauseating, and still no stones. Yet the pain was again gone. The olive oil is a natural anti-inflamatory so I think that's why the pain was gone, not because the stones were gone. Now it's 4 days later, I am still in pain, I have an appointment with a kidney specialist in a few days, and most likely will have surgery. I just want to not make these any more. This is my second run with stones, and I am still fairly young. I'm tired of it!!"

[YEA]  05/27/2007: Marie from Lafayette, Indiana writes: "I've had kidney stones before, and will probably continue to have them on and off the rest of my life (because I am /awesome/ like that). I'd never tried a remedy on my own before, because I'd always been on my parents insurance and could easily afford codeiene and a doctor's visit. I've been out of college for three years now, with no health insurance, and a kidney stone decides to rear its nasty head in my right kidney (as usual). I suffered it for a week and a half, through the initial agonizing aching and subsequent inability to urinate more than a tiny bit every 10 minutes or so. And I got fed up--I work two jobs and I can't afford to run to the loo when I need to, or stay home. So I messed around on google, and came across the lemon juice/olive oil treatment. I decided the ingridients were cheap enough to give it a go, and obviously not toxic. I upped the amount (2 oz each) recommended, because I wanted it GONE. Totally worked too. This morning, I peed like I'd never peed before and yah no more kidney stone. I think anyway, because I can't feel it anymore, there's no pressure in my tract, and I can pee uninhibited. A word of caution though--I had a hard time sleeping, and spent five hours thinking I was going to heave my guts up. But yes, thank you all who recommenended olive oil/lemon juice--I love you all!"

[YEA]  05/23/2007: Amanda from St Louis, Missouri writes: "THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this information available to me! I didn't really think it would work, but IT DOES!!!! It really does work! I drank the lemon juice and olive oil last night and the pain in my side was gone within about two hours...i've been peeing out 'sand' ever since...with NO PAIN!!!!! THANK YOU :)"

[YEA]  05/20/2007: Paul from New York, New York writes: "Olive Oil Lemon Juice Works for Stones: I will be brief. Had my first kidney stone a month or so ago. Blood in the urine. Went through medical channels, urologist, tests to confirm 8mm stone, and then finall lithotripsy. It worked enough that the stone was dissolved and pieces came out. Calcium oxalate stone. Afterwards, though, I wanted to urinate all the time and had a painful feeling at times in my urethra. Went back to urologist, got an xray, and it seemed as though there was a large fragment left in my ureter. He put me on Flomax for two weeks to relax my bladder. I still had the sensation of needing to urinate a lot, plus no stone had passed. I found this site and read about the olive oil and lemon juice. I tried a smaller dose two nights ago, but nothing. I am approaching another doctor visit, so last night I took more. I did not mix them together, either. I drank the olive oil which, if you get a good brand of extra virgin, can taste good, then the fresh juice of two lemons, then drank a quart of water. This morning, after walking the dog, I passed a large fragment, what I believe was the last fragment. I am normally dubious of many home cures. I believe in Western medicine, but I also believe in organic food, Eastern medicine and lots of other stuff. I'm not pre-disposed, in other words to automatically go for the herbal cure. And this could have been a coincidence, but I believe it is what finally worked here. I am grateful."

[YEA]  05/18/2007: Terri from Salt Lake City, Utah writes: "Monday May 7th had the worse pain ever on my left side lower back. Having had a kidney stone before I knew exactly what the cause was. The pain subsided but returned on Wednesday May 9th with a trip to the ER. I was told yes I had a kidney stone, a 6mm one to be exact. I contacted my uriologist who immediately set up a surgery date for May 17th saying there was now way I would be passing this big a kidney stone. Being that I had already had this type of surgery before I certainly was not looking forward to it again! My grandmother suffers from kidney stones and gave the olive oil & lemon juice remedy. I took 2oz olive oil & the juice of a half of lemon drank that down followed by a 8oz glass of water with the other half of the lemon juice. That was on Thursday May 11th. During the following days I drank water with lots of lemon and then the afternoon before the scheduled surgery I was supposed to pick up my hospital packet and told the nurse I really think I passed the stone. They were hesitant but ordered another scan and were shocked to find out I had passed a 6mm stone on my own! I was overjoyed at not having to have surgery the next morning and swear the combination of olive oil and lemon juice is what did it!"

[YEA]  05/17/2007: Allyson from North Pole, Alaska writes: "IT really works. My husband had been suffering with a kidney stone for 3 weeks. 4 trips to the ER, many shots of morophine and oral pain killers still no relief or passing of the stone. I looked up home remedies online and thought we would give it a try. He did the 2 oz of Olive oil and 2 oz of Lemon Juice and chased it with 12 oz of water. He did this at 9 PM and by 11:30 AM he had passed the stone. WHEW!! We will definitely try this first IF it happens again."

[YEA]  05/16/2007: Aquiles from Dallas , Texas writes: "The lemon juice and olive oil mix worked for me I had to take it twice because the first time I wasnt able to keep the mix down but when I did it fixed the problem overnight . Thank you ."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  05/16/2007: Muz from Christchurch, New Zealand writes: "Had excruiating pain in my right flank and ended up with my partner taking me to the Accident and Emergency department at the hospital. After subduing the pain I was sent for X rays and MRI from which they determined I had a 4mm kidney stone. I was told to take the prescibed pain relief and the stone should pass within the next three days. A week later still nothing and the pain killers were not quite doing their job. After googling "kidney stones" I found your site and decided to try 2ozs of lemon juice and 2 ozs of olive oil. I suffer a bit from acid reflux and so had a slight burning in the throat for a while. Then nausea kicked in for a couple of hours. (not a big fan of that either) Later that evening I realised the pain in my side was completely gone. Its been two weeks now and still no pain. I was told to urinate through a strainer to collect any stones to show the urologist and I am continuing to do that but still have nothing to show. Its great to be pain free but I wonder if its still there or been completely dissolved. Anyway thanks for this great remedy - definitely worth trying when your in that much pain."

[YEA]  05/15/2007: Heidi from Greenwood, Indiana writes: "Oh, my Goodness. Who would have thought that the olive oil, lemon juice would have worked, but IT DID. I went through the horrible pain of passing a kidney stone 4 weeks ago. I was hospitalized for 4days because of an infection and high fever. My doctor put a stint in to help pass the stone, I had that for 3 weeks. Then because that did not work I had lithotripsy done( another stay in the hospital). I went back to my doctor because I had not passed the stone yet. He scheduled me for another proceedure because my stone had not moved at all, even after they had blasted it into pieces, so I started looking on the internet for anything that would help me pass this. I mixed the olive oit cocktail, drank the water and went to the bathroom and there were several pieces of stone!!!!!!!!!! Too bad I didn't know this before my 2 stays in the hospital."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  05/09/2007: Shari from Berkley, Michigan writes: "I went to the emergency room on Sunday may6,07. I told my husband that something was wrong because the right side of my back was killing me. After a cat scan, the doctor said I had a small kidney stone. I left the hospital with no pain whatsoever. I have had no pain since sunday, but I tried the lemon juice and olive oil on Tuesday May 8,07. I didn't know if I had already passed the stone since I wasn't in pain or what was going on. It didn't taste bad at all. However it did feel very heavy in my stomach and by 9:00 P.M. I was having diarrehea. I dont think I passed the stone , if there is still one inside of me. I had diarreha twice more this morning and now I feel fine. I am drinking a ton of water. Does anyone know if it is possible that I passed the stone without knowing it?"

[YEA]  05/05/2007: Cindy G. from SF Bay Area, California writes: "UPDATE !! He first took the Oil/Lems Juice " concoction" Wednesday night followed with a huge glass of water. Thanksfully I think the pain meds he was on at the time kept him sleeping instead of feeling nauseated. Then, Thursday morning I gave him just the Lemon Juice.. about 4 ounces worth. I called him from work at 11 am and told me that he had passed one stone and felt another was getting ready to pass. By Thursday afternoon, he had passed it. Coincidence or not, I don't know.. but I will continue this for the next few weeks and see how it works. I am starting to believe. Psst.. by the way.. a lady I work with says that Olive Oil is a natural anti-inflammatory. Shes a health nut and is into all this health stuff. Idon't care what it is.. I just hope it continues to help my husband."

[YEA]  05/04/2007: Lori from Springfield, Missouri writes: "I am so excited! For close to 2 weeks I have been suffering from horrible pain. I thought that I had a kidney infection. However, I began wondering if my symptoms could be kidney stones. I was in sooo much pain and I also had a constant urgency to urinate. I finally came across this wonderful site. My husband kindly ran to the store and got some fresh lemons and we juiced them and added the olive oil. (Both at 2 oz. each) I took the remedy this afternoon at 3:00 p.m. and only a little over 7 hours later, 10:45 p.m., I began passing some stones. What a RELIEF! It is a true answer to my prayers! Yeah! Now I can get back to life again. I would highly suggest that people suffering from kidney stones give this remedy a try. It was definitely worth it even though I didn't care for the mixture (I took it on an empty stomach). I did experience a little nausea because of this. Thanks again for the invaluable information!"

Background : My 39 yr old husband has been passing kidney stones since he was 18. The last 3 years they have gotten worse ( we think because of stress.) He is on morphine and nortriptyline ( Sp ? ) to help with his pain. His Urologist is at a loss as to why he forms so many so fast. Last year, he had 20 kidney stones in one kidney alone !! He's had the Lithotripsy, the Laser treatment which goes up you know where to blast a 12 mm stone. He's seen a dietician, urologist, endocrinologist... all with no answer except " drink more water and take pain meds." He drinks water ( prolly 1-2 liters per day) but that doesn't seem to be enough to help. We were desperate. I just mixed up the " concoction " as I call it and we are hoping for the best. We will let you all know if he gets any relief from this in the next few days. I am interested to know if any of you have gotten to the point where you are taking Morphine for the pain. Hubby has Calium Oxylate and Uric Acid stones. Tried Uriflow about a year ago.. he seemed to pass them more frequently. Please pray for him as this has been affecting us, our marriage, our life for years. I just want my husband back."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  05/03/2007: Simone from Mackay, Australia writes: "Since drinking down the mixture of olive oil and lemon juice, I've passed more grit and the pain has definately gone away, I feel perhaps the stone has been dissolved. Have been passing a fair amount of bloody tissue since and come down with fever and chills. Turns out that there is now an infection in the ureter and am on antibiotics, but I'm sure that's from the stone passing, not the oil and juice, although there was a burning sensation down my side a few hours after taking it. But I would go through anything to get rid of these awful stones, and this remedy is always worth a try. Thanks for this great information and here's hoping this remedy works for everyone else too."

[YEA]  05/02/2007: Oona from Manila, Philippines writes: "hi there! I was found out to have a kidney stone in my right kidney October of 2006. I had a severe UTI then that my OB decided that I should have KUB ultrasound. I was found out to have a 5.4 mm stone. I decided to have a check up with the urologist and he gave me a medicine. After a month of medication it became smaller to 4.2 mm and the doctor gave me additional medicine to be taken for another month. Fortunately the stone became smaller to 3.8 mm. But after the last month of medication, the stone remains at 3.8 mm. The doctor did not give me medicine anymore because he said he already gave me all the possible medicine that can dissolve my stone and he recommended lithotripsy. I told him that I will think about it since I could not afford the treatment. I decided to search the internet for possible natural remedy and thank god that I found this website. April 25 at 9:00 pm I drank the cocktail of 2 0z of lemon juice and 2 oz olive oil. I waited for the stone but I found nothing in my urine. Next I drank the cocktail friday, april 27. But still no stone was found. May 1 I had an appointment with a nephrologist and before that he requested me for a urinalysis. When I went to a laboratory for the urine test, I found out in the cup where I urinated that there are small white particles. I suspect those are the stones. Actually I feel better and I could not wait to have an ultrasound to see if my stone is gone already. I still want to drink another coctail to make sure that my stone is totaly gone. Just a warning to those who wanted to try lemon juice with other oil. Please never combine it with other oil. I tried it with virgin coconut oil and I had severe stomach ache and loss bowel movement. But anyway again I'm thankful for this website because I will not spend money for medicine anymore."

Anyways, I high recommend this as a course of action upon first signs of achiness in the kidney region that seems to start intensifying."

[YEA]  04/30/2007: Paul from Milledgeville, GA writes: "Lemon Juice & Olive Oil Remedy works! on Saturday 4/21 I awoke at about 3a.m. with the lower back pain from hell. Left kidney felt like an ice pick being jabbed in and out. Popped a pain pill I had and endured the pain until about 9 a.m. when it subsided. The rest of the weekend and the following week I had pain in my groin area from time to time. Nothing like the kidney pain so it was tolerable. Still hadn't passed the stone though. I had been online and ordered a product that I had found . It's called Uriflow , it's expensive but when you're in pain you'll try anything right ? Well after doing that I found this webpage and read the remedy recipe. Sounded too easy and too good to be true but guess what, it TOTALLY WORKED!. Friday 4/27 I read this page and bought the ingrediants on the way home and took it at 7 pm along with about 2 bottles of water. Around 9:30 PM I had the urge to urinate really bad and Bam! out popped a 6 or 7 mm sized stone. Whew what a releif. I suggest to anyone with a stone to give this a try. It's basic ingredients you can buy at the grocery store , what do you have to lose, except a kidney stone."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  04/30/2007: Stu from Philadelphia, PA writes: "I have had uric acid stones before - 6 to be exact. Each time, they seem to get worse. The last was 2 years ago and lasted about 24 hours until it reached my bladder (it was 5mm) but literally took 3 months before I peed it out. Last Tuesday I started to get one again. It started mild but after several hours got really bad. At the ER, they told me I had 2 stones, a 7mm in the ureter, and an 8mm in the kidney. The thought of drinking that mixture, when the pain starts kicking in and, especially the first 24 hours of this thing would have been impossible. Now, it is Sunday night and that bugger (I'm using a polite term) doesn't feel like it's moved much at all. The pain is in the flank and is a burning, sticking kind of pain (not that initial cramping agony) which only occasionally brings on a wave of nausea. Tomorrow, the urologist will give me a catscan and tell me if it has progressed. I will ask him about this rememdy although I'm sure he was say "Drink ANYTHING". If it works, I will be in your debt forever. The x-ray I took revealed that there are several stones in there on both sides (waiting in the wings). I do NOT want to go throw this again. I lost a week's work. I want to know from the people that used this remedy if the fact that these are uric acid stones would make a difference since the 'cures' are different for calcium stones."

Better yet, do it monthly."

[YEA]  04/24/2007: Mike from Philadelphia, PA writes: "Went to the hospital with kidney pain, cat scan found a 3mm stone, sent home to pass it. Had one before, and was worried about getting more as I found out if you have a single incident, you will likley have more, looked up info on google, found your site. Had nothing to loose, tired it and within 24 hours, the stone was out. It was bigger then my last one, but this time, caus eof the oil, didin't even feel it come out. I can't believe that hospitals don't talk about this stuff, what a pitty all the people that have surgery without trying anything else. I also found a product called chanca piedra, which is supposed to do the same thing as the oil and lemon, but used the lemon oil mixture first which worked. I will use the chanca once a month to keep me from getting them again. Now I have told 10 more people about this so they have the knowledge too."

[YEA]  04/22/2007: Deputydon from Colorado Springs, Colorado writes: "Okay, I had nothing to lose. I had been to the Emergency Room twice. Once for the initial diagnosis and the second time for severe pain. I was told that I had a 4mm stone that was passing. After waiting several days and going thru lots of pain, I took matters into my own hands and found your remedy for kidney stones. I went to the store picked up a couple fresh lemons and came home and made the drink with the virgin olive oil. The mixture actually looked worse than it tasted. I read that some people had a hard time keeping it down, but I thought it went down pretty easy. I did chase it with lots of water just to make sure it stayed down. I took the drink at approx. 6:30 p.m. on Saturday the 21 of April. The pain appeared to have lessened somewhat. I went to bed thinking that I maybe would have to try it again in the morning or just give it up because it was not going to work. At approx. 2:10 a.m. I woke up with the urge to urinate. Nothing unusual since I had drank lots of water prior to going to bed. As I was urinating in my doctors provided cup, I heard a plop, and there was my stone. I had no pain as it was coming out, and I was very surprised. I believe the lemon/oil drink helped in releasing my stone. It was only a 4mm, but it was jagged and not very smooth, hence the severe pain. I think this remedy helped. I'm not some crazy person or a person that just wanted to post a positive outcome to get your hopes up. I'm a honest person, and my career is in law enforcement. My email address is not posted because I do not want unsolicited mail. If you want to write me check out my professional website, and get my email address there."
