can some one please help me in this ,as my doctor says avoid calcium and vitamin c both for a month and stone will pass automatically in one month or so . please send your reply to me
Kunal Singh"
11/12/2009: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines replies: "Hi Kunal...Read about your plight and I think you have the answer on your doorstep. There is an Indian herb called Gudduchi or the Stonebreaker (Phyllanthus niruri). Gudduchi is a rasayana herb used widely in various Ayervedic mixtures such as Triphala and Chaywanprash. Gudduchi is also a harmless herb, but very potent against kidney stones, gallstones and is a successful cure for Hepatitis B (I have read all the research) plus many other problems.
Just find an Ayurvedic Deli that sells mixtures that contain Gudduchi and, if you take this daily for about a month, your kidney stone should hopefully disappear. Best really to consult an Ayervedic herbalist."

[YEA] 08/28/2007: Michelle from Portland, Oregon writes: "I am so thankful finding this!!! I've had pain off & on for months but never did anything about it. Today though it got so bad I teared up. 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!"
10/04/2009: Roux from Haleyville, Al. Usa replies: "I am not a doctor or a healer but i am an amatuer herbologist in training with a very skilled native ndn healer/herbologist.I want to throw in my two cents about the Lime, lemon, acv etc treatments. I have long since known of this cure. The twist we use is to drink lots and lots of apple juice (preferrably organic grown not pasturized and no additives like high fructose corn syrup) not apple cider vinegar for 3 days. Before going to bed on 3rd day drink 2oz of olive oil and 2oz of lemon juice. Lemons are used for their high citric acid content and limes could be substituted. If you do this and don't see a stone or feel it then it is usually because they passed like sand/gravel particles or totally dissolved into liquid. Repeat if neccessary. Since Magnesium and Vitamin B6 are essential to allow you to pass oxalic compounds as liquid instead of them forming crystalline deposits inside your kidneys it can also be taken with the Apple juice/lemon/olive oil treatment. So the mag and B6 is a good preventative measure to keep them from forming and may also help with removal. It also works on Gall stones but may require massage to expel them from the gall bladder."

[YEA] 03/10/2009: Alex from Falls Church, Virginia writes: "I read your website in desperate need for guidance with a self-diagnosed kidney stone issue (no health insurance).
I tried everything. 500 g tablets of magnesium twice a day plus lots of water was the most effective method. After a couple days, the pain diminished dramatically. After about a week, I didn't have anymore pain. It made my urine look cloudy, otherwise, no other side effects. What a relief!!"

[YEA] 07/04/2008: Kathy from New York, New York writes: "The stones they all tell about being dissolved with lemon juice, olive oil and water push are caused by lack of Magnesium.
A good old doctor told me this. I had used the first remedy with the oil & lemon but thanks to this Dr everyone should be free permanently from stones after taking Magnesium. So glad to have found the remedy to dissove them."

MAGNESIUM, CALCIUM, VITAMIN B-6
[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."

I did some research and I put one heaping tablespoon of marshmallow root (dried) in a mug with room temperature filtered water and let it infuse for 3 hours. I strain it and I then slightly warm it in a pan,( it tastes better if you warm it), not microwave. I was drinking it once every day until I was feeling better. I had a few more stones on and off but there was absolutely no pain! I drink it about once every month as a tonic. I haven't had any more stones. Hurray!(you can get marshmallow root at your health food store)"

Had to spend the night and once home I really was not in pain. But I knew the stone was still there. An X-ray confirmed that. Was scheduled for surgery before Thanksgiving and found this site on lemon juice and olive oil. I cancelled my surgery and thought I would try it... Did it for 4 days and never saw a stone. Discouraged- saw another site and went to the Health Food Store and got pills called Stone Free. Took 5 pills two times a day till bottle was gone. Again never saw a stone. Scheduled surgery again for Dec 8th and went for another X-ray today and NO STONE !!! Doctor couldn't believe I never felt it pass. I don't know what cured it, the combination or one of the remedies... all I know is I will try it again, but hopefully I never will have to. God Bless and have faith...."

In my experience, better than potassium citrate alone (get runs with PC alone)."

09/26/2009: James from Westminster, Colorado Usa writes: "I started the olive oil/lemon juice on Tues. Started using caster oil pack with a heating pad over the lower abdomen last night. Also watermelon seed tea....2 cups worth. After an hour I was able to urinate freely. Today was terrible. Had the burning sensation in the penis and urge to urinate all day long. After I got home from work it was almost unbearable. I was convinced I was blocked up and may have to go to the hospital. I drank 2 cups of watermelon seed tea and put the oil pack on. About an hour later the burning in my penis became quite uncomfortable, became totally excruciating for about 5 seconds, then completely vanished. The stone is now in my bladder! What a relief! Be sure the caster oil is cold pressed and cold processed."
[YEA] 09/28/2009: James from Westminster, Colorado Usa replies: "Update.....there was no stone in my bladder. Screening my urine revealed the stone had been dissolved into a fine powder. I don't know if it was a combination of the 2 treatments, but if I had to choose only one, I would go with the caster oil/heating pad. I was able to urinate freely withing 45 minutes of the first oil pack treatment and the stone dissolved the next night 75 minutes into the oil pack treatment."

I WENT ON THIS WEB SITE; AND TWO WEEKS AGO; I STARTED DRINKING THE REMEDY WITH 3 OZ'S OF APPLE CIDER VINGAR. THEN THE NEXT MORNING I DRINK THE OTHER MIX OF 2 OZ. OF VIRGIN OLIVE OIL AND 2 OZ. OF LEMON JUICE. I DRANK THIS MIXIER; 3 TIMES A DAY; FOR THREE DAYS. I GAVE UP ON THE VINGAR MIX.
I ALSO WENT TO THE HERBAL STORE AND I BOUGHT A BOTTLE OF "STONE FREE" AND A BOTTLE OF MAGNINESEIUM AND A BOTTLE OF B6 PILLS; AND OF ALSO SOME ALFAHA PILLS. I THEN WAITED TWO/THREE DAYS AND WENT FOR A LONG WALK AT LUNCH AND THEN AT 12:00 P.M.; LUNCH TIME; THE STONE STARTED PASSING. THE STONE FINALLY PASSED BY 6 OR 8 THAT NITE. I'M NOT FOR SURE WHEN IT PASSED INTO THE BLADDER; BECAUSE I WAS ASLEEP; AFTER TAKING SOME PAIN PILLS.
BUT, NOW MY PROBLEM IS THAT ITS BEEN A ONE WEEK; AND THE KIDNEY STONE IS STILL STUCK IN MY BLADDER. IS THERE ANY IDEAS; OUT THERE; TO GET THIS STONE COMPLETELY OUT OF MY SYSTEM? THANKS, STEVE K."
09/23/2009: Robert Henry from Ten Mile, Tn Usa replies: "STEVE K. ....... Folks in this part of Tn drink massive amounts of apple juice for a week before taking the Olive Oil and lemon juice. This softens the kidney stones which are easily broken up on passage. I got no clue if apple juice will do the same in your bladder, but what have you got to lose. This is apple juice and not ACV."

OLIVE OIL AND LEMON JUICE READER FEEDBACK

2 BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
30 BETTER BUT NOT CURED
3 QUESTIONS
[YEA] 11/11/2009: John from Fairhaven, Ma writes: "Another satisfied customer here, 50 y.o. male. I woke up yesterday morning with excruciating pain centered on the lower right flank of my back. I was also not able to urinate as I normally would and the pressure kept building up. After googling a few pages I was able to find the Earth Clinic site and with over two hundred Yeas for the Olive Oil & Lemon Juice treatment I decided to give it a try. I mixed Two Ounces of Extra Virgin Oil with Two Ounces of store brand Lemon Juice concentrate which I was able to keep down. I also took two over the counter Naproxen Sodium pain killers and drank two eight ounce glasses of water.
Within a half of and hour the pain had subsided somewhat although I still couldn't urinate. Throughout the course of the day I took several Hot showers focusing the hot water on my right rear flank. Additionally, I would jump up and down and shake it all about vigorously to dislodge the stone which eventually allowed me to urinate a bit. As the day progressed I would continue to drink more water (some with Lemon Juice added) with the result being that the pressure would build up, the pain would increase and I would return to the hot shower and jump about until I was able to relive myself.
At about 6 PM I drank another 2 Ounces of Olive Oil and 2 ounces of Lemon juice as I was convinced the treatment was working. Approximately a half hour later I threw up. By 8 PM my ability to urinate (almost normally) returned to my great relief and the pain had virtually disappeared. At bedtime I took another two OTC Naproxen Sodium pills just to be sure and over the course of the night I woke up several times to urinate, each time more freely than the last. I woke up this morning pain free and have taken one more shot of the Olive Oil/Lemon Juice mixture just to make sure I'm all cleared out.
This treatment absolutely worked for me and I am very thankful to have found out about it. THANK YOU!!"

[YEA] 10/30/2009: Kim from Bethlehem, Ga writes: "I used to get kidney stones all the time but by age 50 I was tired of going to hospital being sent home medicated for pain and paying a small fortune for the "treatment". then I learned about squeezing 4 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and mixing it with an equal amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This is to be swallowed all at once and followed by a large glass of water. Usually within 24 hours, the stones will come out on their own while urinating, sometimes broken down into a little pile of what looks like sand. Take this concoction at the first signs of (what is for many of us) the all too familiar lower back pain."

[NAY] 10/27/2009: Jeffrey from San Jose, Ca writes: "I took the Olive Oil/Lemon Juice treatment for my kidney stone. I wish that I could say that it has given me any degree of relief at all. It has not. I tried it for 3 days hoping for any diminishment in the pain as an indicator that it was starting to work. I blended 2 ozs of each three times a day. Easy to do. Fairly easy to swallow. Certainly cheap enough. But there was not a drop in pain at all. Maybe the size of my stone(1.5 cms) was also factor in the failure of this remedy. I don't think that I saw a single stone that was as large. Still after 3 days you would think that there would be something of a change after all the positive testimonials that I read last week. I have ordered an online product as a last ditch remedy before I submit to ESWL."
10/29/2009: Miguel from Carson, California replies: "i had a UTI about a month ago and took antibiotics for it. the discomfort went away after a few days. about four days later i began to feel discomfort in my lower right abdomen. i have no health insurance so i did some reading online and came to the conclusion that i developed a kidney infection due to the UTI not clearing up completely. i began taking antibiotics for this and it seemed to start to clear up. then last night i began to get short, stabbing pains in the upper right area of my groin. i did more reading and learned that this may be a sign that a kidney stone could be working its way down the urethra. that the sharp pain was the urethra pulsating as the stone moved down...causing the sharp pains. the pains happened about every three to five minutes and didnt last more than a few seconds. i did the "jump and bump" method to try and help it move along. after almost an hour the pains stopped..so im guessing the stone is in the bladder now.
my question is..can this really be a kidney stone since i've had no other sympton such as pain in the back or chills or other symptoms associated with kidney stone passing? since im not even sure if this is a stone or not..i'm having doubts about getting started on the lemon and olive oil method.
one thing i've noticed is that almost everyone here were already in pain when they turned to the lemon and olive oil method. has anyone started using this before any pain set in? if so were you able to pass the stone without any pain at all?
if i do have stones they are more than likely struvite stones since all this happened soon after i had a UTI. will the lemon and olive oil method work on these?"
11/10/2009: Kathleen from Lynbrook, Ny, USA replies: "Your story mimics absolutely mimics mine. Had all the typical UTI symptoms. Doctor diagnosed an infection in office but days later, called that the lab found blood in urine with no bacteria. I was advised to see a gyno. No problem there. Problem solved a week later.....kidney stones."

[YEA] 09/29/2009: Junk from Louisville, Ky writes: "A huge "YEA" to this remedy,
2 oz olive oil and 2 oz. lemon juice for Kidney Stones/Pain.
If you are reading this try it, it works like a charm.
I had kidney pain/stones and in severe pain for 3 weeks and was desperate, severe pain for three weeks.
Although I completely doubted what the simple and safe olive oil and lemon juice mix could possibly have to do with your kidneys, with the many positive ratings I decided to try it.
I drank about 1.5 oz. olive oil and 2 oz. of fresh lemon juice mixed, very important to "mix" so it wont taste too bad.
Results: I felt a little nausea about an hour later.
Then a strange creepy feeling in my gut about 3 hrs later, it felt like "Alien" in my kidneys, I even felt something moving in my good kidney on the other side.
Then I had strange repeated urges to piss.
I didn't piss a stone that I know of, but my chronic 3 weeks of severe kidney pain disappeared ! I could barely get out of bed the day before, and the next mourning was pain free !
Since I took only one dose and had "miraculous" results, I will definitely repeat in a day or two to finish the job.
If you have pain anywhere near Kidneys, TRY THIS FIRST.
It WORKS MAGIC ON KIDNEY STONES !!!
It is basically salad dressing, how it has such an effect on your kidneys I don't know, but trust me it works !
Beats the heck out of paying the ER for painkillers and a surgery!"

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] 09/23/2009: Brenda from Livermore, Ca writes: "How many times should I take the lemon juice and EVOO for the kidney stone issue?
Been taking the EVOO and the lemon juice (2 oz of each mixed together). How many times per day seemed to work for people? My stone was a left renal stone lodged way up in kidney. Was scheduled to have surgery last thursday, however, got really sick so couldn't do the surgery. Would much rather pass it on my own. I took the concoction Saturday (morning and night) then Sunday (morning and night) and Monday three times and Tuesday Morning only. I have small bits of gravel (very very tiny) coming out in strainer, and on Monday the pain was severe. Haven't had pain up until this point, so maybe the stone is rollin on down and out? Any advice how long I need to take it? Supposedly I have at least a 7MM stone. Doctor resisted my theory it was stone (I only had bleeding when I exercised, no pain until this past Monday), and sent me for all kinds of cancer tests. As LAST RESORT, he sent me for CT scan and was surprised to find kidney stone. Please advise how long I need to take the stuff. It's been cleaning out I think my gallbladder too, so for the last two days been in bed and bathroom only. Kind of frustrating when one works for a living."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 09/12/2009: Emile from New York City, Ny writes: "So far so good... I've been struggling with a stone for the past two days now. Didn't want to admit it at first, too many bad memories of my agonizing trip to the ER 4 years ago. Soon though, the pain in my groin was accompanied by that familiar ache in my lower back...Panic set in. Dug around on the web for an hour or so before I found this site, (kept seeing sites that were CHARGING $$$ to give up their great kidney stone home remedies) and began to get discouraged, thinking I was in for another trip to the ER WITHOUT health insurance.
This afternoon, before I even found this site I picked up a nice filet of Sole for dinner and ended up buying 7 lemons to cook it with! I had read about asparagus as a natural diuretic and also bought some rather dubious looking "kidney health" pills. Anyway, cooked the sole with lemon, white wine, shallots and butter, and ate a whole bunch of asparagus. Didn't help much, but then again I wasn't expecting miracles. Then, found thid site and decided I may as well cut up the remaining 4 lemons and drink it down with some EVOO. NASTY to drink, actually gagged a bit on the EVOO, (didn't really measure, just dumped in a shot glass or so)...laid down and tried to read, felt a little bit of stirring in kidneys groin...about 30 minutes later had a massive pee, and no pain at all!
30 hour after that pee I feel like I have to go again, and sitting here typing, I am having a bit of discomfort in my right marble.(sorry :) And the "I have to pee but nothing will come out" feeling is back. :( Guess I need another dose."
