[NAY] 06/30/2007: mary from Portland, Maine writes: "This did not work, the stone is still there. I have to have it removed by doc. My stone is only 5mm sorry I really find it a bit hard to swallow that a stone any bigger then mine will come out with no pain. I wouldn't belive some of these stories. besides you can't make olive oil cold it solitafies. If you are haveing pain, the stone is already moveing.( on its way out) don't make yourself sick with large amounts of this mix. the two and two won't hurt you, but for a stone that is stuck it won't work. I know with this kind of pain you will try anything but I really hate to see people make them self sick listing to what other people say. Kidney's are not something to mess around with. I did try the two and two but it did not work. Good luck and be careful...."

[YEA] 06/26/2007: Ronald from Seattle, WA writes: "Last summer I had a stone attack, and honestly thought I was dying. When they finally put me on a gurney, just moments away from shooting me up with demoral, I blacked out. That is, my eyes were open and I momentarily saw nothing. At this point I demanded loudly to know whether I was dying, because I had never experienced a creepy sensation like this. No one yet knew what was wrong with me, they wouldn't even hazard a guess. A few years ago I had appendicitis. I promise you, I could do that again standing on my head, compared to the otherworldy, indescribable pain of a lodged kidney stone.
One stone was eventually passed, but they had to do a uroscopic prcedure for another that was too large to budge. To say this was miserable is an understatement. Especially when the day came to pull out the tube. It felt like I was kicked in the testicles by a mule.
Well, looks like I'm having problems again, almost a year to the day later: excessive urination with a slight burning sensation, and very slight and intermittent stomach and flank pain. This is very similar to how this got rolling last year.
I did the olive oil and and lemon juice thing this morning. No more burning penis after peeing, no more flank and stomach pain, pretty amazing. My urgent trips to the bathroom (or empty jar, laundryroom sink, etc) have subsided, and things seem normal. Like almost instantly after drinking this stuff, followed by a quart of water.
Thanks for the info!"

I don t know if I passed the stone or not, but at least I know how to get rid of the pain,and will use the magnesium and b6 remedy below to finish the job, as it does seem more pleasant. I would suggest to anyone if they have a serious problem, why not try all the remedys , one at a time, listed on this site. It seems it would be a much better alternative, and one would probably work."

[YEA] 06/24/2007: Chris from Fort Worth, Texas writes: "It works! It truely works! I experienced major flank pain on my Left side late night June 21-2007. I knew what it was because I have now had two very large stones (one 14mm with the cage/basket method, and one (12mm with Lithotripsy method) and 4 very small (2 thru 4 mm) stones (feeling like sand burrs come through). On June 22-2007 at about 3 PM I mixed the "FORMULA" in a Larger quantity then called for. I knew my stone was HUGE from the Flank pain so I decided that a big stone needed alot of "FORMULA" I mixed 10oz Cold pressed Olive oil and 10oz of Lemon Juice, followed by 3/4 gallons of water in a 4 hour period (needlessly to say I did not get much sleep that night). Within a few hours I could feel my left kidney (gurgling) processing the stone. I had a little bit of sand like pieces come through in about 6 hours. By the afternoon of June 24-2007 I could feel the stone move however it felt spongey. June 25-2007 same feeling however, it have move into my bladder and into the final canal. Today, June 26-2007 at 9:20 I had to go, and out the stone came, After a close inspection of the stone, it measured about 10mm (no jagged edges) and it was indeed "spongy" soft. I was evident to me that the "FORMULA" works. I will start taking this FORMULA in smaller quantities once a month or every other month as a preventative.
Thank you for this post and the information you shared on this site. I believed it because all the ingredients could be purchased in any grocery store thus no singular motive was evident. Since no one person had the ability to gain, I figured it would work.
The stone of 10mm+ came through just fine, I didn't even buckle to my knees. It happened at work, and I was up and running in no time at all.
As a kidney stone sufferer since 1997, I will pass the information on to anyone who is experiencing these jewels."

After finally experiencing kidney poisoning I went to the emergency room and it was remove using the BASKET/CAGE method follow by a Stint for two seeks. In 2004 I had a kidney stone on my other side removed by lithotripsy. I have passed 2-3 small stones since then. My large stones have been 14mm and 10mm.
June 23-2007 @ 6PM Central
The stone I have now is smaller but stuck. I found this site and went to the store to get the needed supplies.
I like olive oil and use it often in my cooking. I like lemon added to water. So I got home with everything and mixed 8oz Lemon juice with 8oz Olive Oil, and 2oz Lime juice. The hairs on my chest grew in magnitude as I drank what should be know as the "FORMULA - KIDNEY, NASCAR" As I write this, I have just started drinking water and will soon take a very long hot bath. I figured that if the 4oz FORMULA works, I would drink about 20oz and then it should work for sure. No Nausea experienced however the Heart Burn was something else. I drank this FORMULA over the course of 30 minutes. I will report more when there is more to report."

[YEA] 06/19/2007: Chad from Woodbridge, VA writes: "Remedy: 2oz Olive Oil & 2oz Lemon Juice followed by lots of water. Ailment: Kidney Stones:
Add me to the "Yea's". I had pain in my lower back for several days that I've identified as a precursor to passing a kidney stone (I'm very familiar with the warning signs as I'm a recurrent stone former). I tried the treatment and a few hours later the pain abated and I passed the stone. I collected it and it wasn't even hard and "stone-like" anymore. It had softened to a state like a jelly bean.
I gave this cure to my wife's boss but it didn't work for him. I imagine that it all depends on the chemical composition of the stone and I am one of the lucky ones that it works for"

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 06/18/2007: Larry from San Diego, California writes: "I tried the olive oil / lemon juice concoction to try to prevent a ureteroscopy to remove a 6mm stone that was located just outside my kidney. I tried it first on a full stomach and then the next day on an empty stomach. Although I didn't pass the stone, some debris was eliminated during each of the following voids after ingesting the solution. It didn't taste that bad and I did not get sick drinking it on an empty stomach. However, I did burb a little and each burp tasted like olive oil, but it wasn't the end of the world. When the day for my surgery arrived, they found the stone just outside my bladder. It had moved all the way down from my kidney to my bladder without the severe pain that everyone thought I would have. I had flank pain and took Vicodan a couple of times to deal with it, but 600mg Ibuprofen would probably have been sufficient. I would have liked to have passed the stone but I think the juice made the trip easier for me. Good luck to all of you."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 06/08/2007: Mason from Anytown, NC writes: "06/07/07 Saw lemon juice/olive oil mix on line and decided to try. I have had 8 invasive proceedures since 1992. There are over 20 stones in left kidney and 15 in right. Lithotripsy, grabbing and laser have not worked. I have passed one stone in 15 years. The drink wasn't bad at all. Within 5 minutes 95% of the pain was gone. Five minutes later I was running to the toilet where I spent the better part of the night with burning diarhia. It's been 12 hours and I still have diarhia and the pain is still subdued. I am concerned about another 2/2 drink as I am afraid I will end up dehydrated from the massive fluids coming out. Lemon Juice/Olive Oil definately relieves the pain, just stay close to the toilet!"

I talked to a dietation, she said it won't help, but it also wouldnt hurt me to try it. I belive the other peoples stones were on their way out anyways, and this won't work on a large stuck stone. I probably will try it a few more times before my doc appt. when they do the scan I will let you know if the stone got any smaller."

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."

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] 05/20/2007: 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."

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!"

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."

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."

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."

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?"

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..

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!"

A co-worker had said when she lived in Germany years ago, her Uncle was told to drink Olive Oil for Kidney Stones. I searched on the internet for " olive oil and kidney stones." Then I found your site.
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."

I am as well a person who takes morphine for my stones which I have been getting the past 4 years. Just to give you some insight on how ive been doing with my own homemade remedies which like this one helps alot in the passing of the stone.Also another thing you can try is mint green tea with lemon, olive oil, apple cider vinigar and some aloe vera juice as well as pomagranate juice. Do the 2 oz of lemon juice and 2 oz of olive oil everything else is 1 tablespoon. I noticed that after 24 hours with taking my pain meds I didnt need the meds anymore the remedy actually disolved the stone small enough I didnt even feel it when it passed. I took this for a couple of days now when I feel im going to pass more stones I do the same thing. Maybe he should try it. He should also get checked to find out if he builds to much calcium and not enough acid. I found out I barely produce any acid at all and too much calcium which will cause stones. Good luck and I hope this helps"
