Lemon & Olive Oil: Effective Kidney Stone Home Remedy

I am a person who was desperate as well, I had to have a week off work, when the attack came on. I was at home and quickly drove to the E.R just in time, with my wife, there I Vomited in the restroom right next to the waiting room. After hearing this for nearly 5 minutes, the Admin staff realized that it was serious and admitted me to intensive care. I was there for a whole day, on a Morphine drip and injections. After the pain had finally gone they told me to return for another scan.(I had the thing for nearly five days and its one of the most painful experiences Ive ever had,) In that time it returned nearly every night at 4.am, until I took some medication for it. It was recorded by Ultrasound as an 8mm calculus calcium based stone, stuck in the left kidney. They told me this will eventually lead to a urologist to contact me and make an appointment to work out an operating procedure. To cut a long story short, I had very little time to do something, quickly, in desperation I scurried through the web like there was no tomorrow, and I found the money grabbers etc, but then came upon your site, the words lemon etc suddenly appeared in front of me. After reading the testimonials, I thought why not give it a go, nothing could be worse than this even if spewing a few hours, I didn't care.

I didn't have lemons, so I made some, using citric acid, put about quarter teaspoon in a small glass, with warm to hot water when nearly full, (holds about half can of coke) then for taste put about a tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar and honey, its easy to get from most supermarkets or health places.

I also decided to include the olive oil, first only a spoon full to see if I was ready to vomit, but nothing so I drank more, then sipped on the tonic I had made.

Then just sat in front of the internet reading the testimonials from this site, and beginning to feel good from what I was reading and the thngs people were saying, in fact I found the time going quickly, I was also in the most excruciating pain while doing this, because the medication I was using wasn't working now.

After the first hour of drinking this concoction I had no appetite at all, I think I had near ten to 15 glasses, taking small sips very slowly letting it digest in the stomach.

four hours later I was still feeling the sharp pains associated with this demon. I was disappointed because nothing had happened and still feeling that wretched pain.

But amazingly after this my urine changed color from a dark yellow to almost white clear, so in all I went to the rest room about two dozen times, this went on for nearly half the day till night fall, finally after checking again in a container I found some little tiny dots at the bottom like white bits, I thought, the thing is finally gone, and within an hour or so the pain did leave as well, maybe after such a battering the kidney was just trying to heal itself, there was no stone but some cloudy residue.

If anyone has a similar type experience, they would be crazy to have it operated on. And not try a home remedy first.

I'm still waiting for the appointment,from the Hospital, so they can tell me its gone.

CHEERS to a useful site, I am definitely a Believer Now

I have had kidney stones about 5 times. They are horrible and I was hospitalized for them the first time I had them all they did was put me on pain killers. They worked to dull the pain but did not make them go away. I use the 2 ounces of olive oil and 2 ounces of fresh lemon juice mixed together and drink it down when I first feel them coming on. It worked, I have heard that the acidity in the lemon juice breaks the stones down and the olive oil helps them pass through your urethra easier. When you don't have health insurance you feel like you are helpless and will try any inexpensive remedy, and this worked for me. So give it a try you have nothing to lose but you kidney stones!

Yesterday my husband started having severe pain that he recognized as a kidney stone. Having experienced them several times in the past (most recently 2 years ago) he knew what he was in for. The last time he suffered most of the day before I took him to the ER. They gave him a morphine drip which he thought relaxed him enough to pass the stone. One other time he was in such severe pain for so long (2 or 3 days) and he tensed so much that he colapsed a lung. Not wanting to see that happen again, I took him to the ER. We have just recently moved to this area and had never been to this ER before. After waiting in agony for 1 1/2 hours, without even seeing the triage nurse, he felt the pain lessen and thought maybe he had passed the stone. We decided to go home and see. A short time after returning home, the pain started coming back. I decided to go online and investigate anything I could find. This site seemed to indicate that a lot of people had benefited from olive oil and lemon juice and it seemed harmless enough to try. I didn't see how it could hurt him. About 10 PM I mixed 2 oz of lemon juice (bottled) and 2 oz of extra virgin olive oil for him and he gulped it down. I can't say it tasted pleasant, but he can tolerate about anything. He drank about a gallon of water too. The pain didn't get any worse, and we both went to bed.

In the morning he said he had urinated many times during the night and eventually the urine felt gritty and sandy. After that he felt much better. When he got up in the morning he felt GREAT! In fact he said he felt better than he had for a long time, so maybe the stone had been working on him for a while before the pain started. Of course we can't say with certainty that this remedy was the answer, but we can say that we will be trying it in the future, if it happens again. If so, we'll be sure to let everyone know. In any case, we are so greatful to the internet and to all of you who have taken the time to validate or dispute remedies you have tried. I don't know who in the heck ever thought up such a concoction, but we thank you so much!

Olive Oil and Lemon Juice for Kidney Stones: I tried this after getting a mammoth pain in the right side of my lower back (felt like someone stabbed me) and it seemed to help. I also added a little cranberry juice as a UTI preventive.

Regarding the comment about the liver "filtering" oil, that is total nonsense; the liver help process and break down fats not "filter" them. Furthermore, while the liver does remove poisons and toxins from the both it does it through the blood system (other than the gallbladder there is no direct connection to the digestive tract) which mean that the only place the liver to send the waste products is through the kidneys!

Lemon and Olive Oil for Kidney Stone: I have been having back pain for months, and never knew what it was until I was diagnosed last Thursday when a CT scan revealed 3 kidney stones. Well, 2 of them were in my kidneys (both 3mm, and one in each kidney), and the other (5 mm) was in my bladder. Last night, I Googled natural remedies for the resolution of kidney stones, and came across the Lemon Juice and Olive Oil remedy. Honestly, I wasn't sure that something so simple would work, but I thought I'd give it a shot. So, last night at about 7pm, I mixed up the 2 ounces of extra-virgin olive oil, and 2 ounces of fresh lemon juice. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be....drinking straight olive oil. I just drank it as fast as I could! I didn't notice any change last night, except for some nausea. I also didn't notice anything today, until this afternoon, at about 3pm, when my left kidney started to throb. This went on for about 10 minutes, and after it subsided, I had the urge to go to the bathroom. Lo and behold, out came the stone! I didn't feel the stone passing, but for those of you out there who have passed stones before, you know when it happens. Anyway, all of this to say, THANK YOU to the poster of this remedy. It really and truly does work. I'm going to tell my Doc about it tomorrow, when I deliver my stone in a plastic baggy to him for evaluation. :) I'm surprised this remedy isn't more widely known and recognized?

Two Sundays ago I experienced tremendous lower back pain, thinking I pulled something. After suffering for two hours, I had my wife take me to Emergency. Once there, after only approx. 10 minutes in a bed and not yet being administered an IV, the pain went away. I was given a CAT scan where it was determined I had a 4mm stone halfway down the ureter on my lower left side. I left the hospital with two perscriptions - 600 mg Ibuprofen and Vicodin. I took these whenever I felt a flairup coming but it still took approx. 40 mins. for the pain to subside. I found this article, mixed up 3 ozs. of olive oil and 3 ozs. of lemon juice. I held my nose and chugged it this last Sat. afternoon. Sat nite was my last flairup. I have been totally pain free for 4 days now. I never felt the stone actually move or pass but wherever it is, I'm not in any pain. I just hope it passed - maybe it's hiding in my groin area or bladder? Regardless, this conconction, as nasty as it was, worked! I don't advise laying down after you swallow it like I did as it creeped back down my throat and left me with a nasty taste in my mouth. In hindsight, maybe only 2 ozs. of each would have been better?

Olive oil + lemon juice remedy for kidney stones: I have had kidney stones for more than twenty years now. I had my share of going to ERs, taking medication, having all kinds of procedures (invasive and none invasive) done to relieve the terrible pain. I had one kidney stop working at one point because of a large 8mm stone. To make the long story short, I came across the olive oil and lemon juice mix by accident before finding this website when my little son's doctor told me to mix a tea spoon of lemon juice + tea spoon olive oil + tea spoon honey and give it to my son each morning to enhance his immune system (my son is almost 3 years old by the way). It seemed to work fine for my son so I started taking the same stuff, but with larger amounts. I used to get about one kidney stone every year or two, but after starting to drink the olive oil lemon juice mix, I had two stones in one month come down from my kidney to my ureter. I guess the mix helps clean the kidneys as well. Anyways, the first stone was relatively small (2-3mm) and I took the mix before I went to bed and at 4am in the morning it poped out. The next stone was 5mm and not as easy to get out. The Dr. at the ER said it may not come out on its own. I had to try the mix several times (8-10) before it finally worked. My advice to those trying this mix is:

1. Have patience. Dont give up if it does not work the first time you try the mix. Even if it does not come out, it will be moving and you will suffer less pain.

2. When you take the mix (about 2oz lemon juice + 2 oz olive oil), take it at night right before you go to bed and dont drink or eat anything after you take it. Let it sit in your stomach for the night. I found that I get better results that way.

3. The reason I know it works is that for the first time, I had the 5mm stone break into three pieces (two small ones and one big one) and all three poped out on the same day. Before the lemon+ olive mix, the stones never broke up to pieces.

Anyways, I usually dont get involved in commenting on sites, but in this case Im hoping that this may help some poor soul out their suffering from this horrible pain. Best of luck to all and if it does not work the first time try, try, and try again.

Lemon Juice and Olive Oil. Wow, this really works. I have passed four kidney stones in the last 3 weeks with this. I was miserable until I tried this. The last stone I passed, I was in so much pain and discomfort that I felt like crying. My attack started at 3:30 p.m. At 9:30 I still had not passed it. I couldn't sit or lie down. And the urge to urinate was constant. So I mixed up 2 oz. of lemon juice concentrate and 2 oz. of olive oil. I followed it with a glass of water. Within 15 minutes my pain was gone. I was finally able to lay down and go to sleep. 1 hour later I got up to use the bathroom and I PASSED THE STONE. This is unbelievable!! Since I have had a ct scan recently to determine how many stones I had, I know that I have one left in my kidney. I will always have lemon juice and olive oil on hand. Don't be afraid to try this. It really does work.

2oz. OLIVE OIL AND 2oz. LEMON JUICE REALLY WORKS!

It was nearly two years ago when I checked into the Emergency Room at 3:00am in excruciating pain. Unbeknownst to me, I was having my first encounter with a dreaded kidney stone and could only equate the pain to child birth. I had it pretty bad, bloody urine samples,sweating, and uncontollable vomiting, only to find out that the stone was impacted at the top of my bladder and would require surgery to remove it. After the doctor removed the stone a stent was inserted. Thank Heaven I was sedated for this.

A week later the doctor removed the stent in his office (no sedation)

BIG OUCH!! I nearly passed out from the pain. The doctor was very vague on what my diet should consist of. He just wanted to see me in 2weeks for aurine sample, then 3 months for a urine sample, then 6 months for a urine sample, yet he still didn't have any specifics. I started to feel like just a payday to him. Well, I swore I would do ANYTHING to prevent this from ever happening again, and if you ever had a stone, please understand you will be more prone to them than a person who has never had one.

Approximately one year later I recognized that all too familiar pain in my back. Without hesitation, I consumed the Olive Oil/Lemon Juice mixture and by the next morning I had noticeable gravel in my urine and best of all NO PAIN! Now I always keep fresh lemons on hand just in case and I'm left wondering what my outcome would have been two years ago had I known about this awesome remedy. Wishing you all Best of Health.

Thank you for this site; went looking online after I became aware I have stones lodged in both ureters at the entrance to bladder. Six years ago I had first stone, 6mm and had the "blasting" surgery which turned into a nightmare, the urologist tore me up and now I have an additional problem of lack of bladder control if bladder is full and I sneeze or laugh. While doing the procedure the urologist discovered my ureters are almost blocked, a congenital thing evidently I've had all my life. Anyway for six years I've kept myself free from stones with gravel root and hydrangea root twice daily at the first sign of stones. During religious fasts or when dieting on high protein, I've noticed I get burning pain between ureters and bladder entrance, and can feel large stones (probably 3-5mm) stones with my fingertips and would go heavy on the roots. After a lengthy fast two weeks ago, I got severe burning (I'm very blessed to have no pain with my stones, just mild to excessive discomfort). Found the coke/asparagus; olive oil/lemon; and celery seed holistic therapies online. Did the coke/asparagus thing mid last week with no seeming change in stones; did lemon/oil (2 x 2oz ea) on Monday; straight 10 oz, no oil yesterday (which made me ill) and since I still have burning and can feel the stones (though I do believe they are getting smaller) I am doing the celery seed (1Tablespoon celery seed in one pint water simmered; drink 1/2 c. per hour for 4 hrs). I'll give an update in a few days. As a side note a couple hints found in my reading over net, keep upright and moving to move the stones along. In using any of the therapies, hold your urine as long as you can so the ingredients can work on the stones. Also I think after (only AFTER) stones are passed or dissolved, doing a gallbladder/liver cleanse of stones (which evidently will be in the hundreds even thousands) is wise to do a couple times a year to keep the stones from entering the kidney. Dr. Hulda Clark's remedy is the one I am going to use. Find it online. For uric acid stones which I have, a diet free of all meats, poultry, even fish, dry peas and beans, chocolate, caffeines (no matter source), easy on eggs, corn and potatoes is wise. Find high uric acid foods online along with diet suggestions for those suffering with uric acid stones. I've been eating a diet free of all meats for just one week and my gouty toe is totally relieved, well at least 85% sometimes 100% of the time. Simply amazing and the urologist told me NONE of this. Thank God for people like you all who are gracious to give your testimonies and for the internet.

A couple days ago I tried the lemon juice and olive oil cure. Initially I was skeptical... and my mom the nurse told me that all of these little home fixer-uper's don't do the trick. We I gave it a shot... I mean why the heck not. The day after taking a nice half glass of olive oil and a chaser of lemon juice I felt pretty rotten... but I could feel it move. No not that... the kidney stone! I did have a belly ache from hell for that day.... but there was motion in the ocean. Today i'm glad to say that i've given birth to a nice little stone. Not sure what to name the little guy yet... I am however taking suggestions. Thanks earth clinic... you've been a great help! marcus

I suffered from a Kidney stone for 20 days, I went to the hospital on January 1st and I thought I had passed it about three days later because the pain went away but about a week later the pain came back and remained for two weeks straight except it was further down in my bladder and groin area. I was in misery, I didn't know what to do. I didn't want surgery, and I still had another two weeks for my dr. appt. to the Urologist and I didn't want to go back up to the Emergency room so.. I tried the 2 onces of Olive Oil and 2 onces of lemon Juice, with a glass of water, of course it isn't pleasant to drink, but if you hold your breathe and drink it fast, you can drink it down fast.... it was amazing for me... I took it at about 11pm and passed my stone by 5am in the morning. My stone was already in my bladder so it was ready to come out so I am sure that was why it was so fast. But I am so relieved to get it out. I didn't want to suffer any more.... Thanks to the people who put this cure out there..

I have tried the lemon and olive oil cure for kidney stones (2oz lemon juice with 2oz olive oil, followed by large glass of water). The night before I tried the cure I was feeling very uncomfortable (aching kidney, nausea, constant need to go to the washroom and stress as I was sure that I would spend the next day at the hospital). I decided to try the cure first. I felt almost immediate relief. My kidney had been mildly aching for 5 days and it stopped. I haven't had any pain since!!

It doesn't taste bad at all. I felt so much better that I have taken a few extra doses to make sure everything is all cleared up. I am so thrilled to have found this site. Thank you!

just to give feedback that a month dosage of 4tbsp each for olive oil and lemon juice really works. I also tried drinking 10-14glasses of water daily. I also took fresh coconut milk for a month. kidney stone were dissolved!!

I recently tried the olive oil and lemon juice remedy for kidney stones and it worked for me. I was diagnosed with a 5-6mm stone three weeks ago. I was told that it was too big to pass and that I should have surgery to have a stint put in. I am currently pregnant which limited my options of removal. I opted to cancel the surgery since I was in no pain and try a more natural method. For the first two weeks I drank the 2 oz. olive oil and 2 oz. lemon juice 3 times a day along with a lot of distilled water. I also tried the asparagus mixed with the olive oil and lemon juice and the 4 oz. apple cider vinegar remedy. I only continued with the 2 oz. lemon juice and 2 oz. olive oil for the entire time though. The last week I just drank the 2 oz. of lemon juice and 2 oz. of olive oil at night followed by a large glass of warm water. Finally three weeks later I passed the stone pain free, 2mm smaller (and rounded) than what the doctor had told me it was going to be.
