I woke up on a Thursday morning around 4:30 a.m. with excruciating pain, and knew right away that I had another kidney stone. This pain lasted for about four hours,and then subsided. I had pain off and on the rest of the day along with being sick to my stomach. I thought this time I would try and not go to the hospital, and so I looked on the internet for some folk remedies. The 2 oz. of lemon juice, and the 2 oz. of olive oil, followed by a lafrge glass of water looked like it was something I wanted to try based on the testamonials. It was Saturday now and about 7:00 a.m. I drank the solution. It was about 10 minutes later and the stone was moving again. I was in a whole lot of pain that lasted for about four more hours. After being totally exhausted I finally was able to sleep until about 4:00 p.m. I woke up went to the bathroom and passed my stone. Thanks for the remedy!

First, I went to grocery store & bought 3 items: #1-100% #2-pure cranberry juice, #3-extra virgin olive oil & 10 lemons (total cost about $10)
Then went to herb shop & bought: #1-hydrangea 100 capsules 325 mg ea, #2-Kidney Activator ATC 50 capsules 448 mg ea (contains juniper berries, parsley herb, uva ursi leaves, dandelion root, chamomile flower) #3-PDA enzyme supplement 200 capsules(contains betaine hci 325 mg ea & pepsin 20 mg ea)**total cost about $60 & these items distributed by Nature's Sunshine www.naturessunshine.com
Late Friday afternoon I started with the 2 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice (ate pulp too) & 2 oz olive oil, took 3 hydrangea capsules, 1 kidney activator capsule & 4 PDA followed by a glass of water. Later in the day I drank about 8 oz cranberry juice.
Saturday morning I followed the same routine - waiting a little bit to drink the cranberry juice so my tummy could settle. Around noon I took the 3 hydrangea, 1 kidney activator & 4 PDA again. Around 6:30 pm took the lemon juice & pulp, olive oil, 3 hydrangea, 1 kidney activator, 4 PDA & cranberry juice again. During the course of the entire day drank at least 2 gallons of water. Mid morning started seeing grainy reddish brown things when urinating (A LOT OF THAT WENT ON DUE TO THE MASSIVE QUANTITIES OF FLUIDS) and some blood but not too bad.
On Sunday I did all the same things as on Saturday. When I first woke up, had virtually no pain & attempted to catch up on some housework-that lasted about an hour before the shooting pains started again. By 11:30 I was pain free again and still am.
I will continue with the PDA (4 capsules 3 times a day)for maintenance since I believe the stones were caused by my body not digesting proteins properly. I'll reduce the hydrangea to 2 capsules daily & the kidney activator to 2 capsules daily. I think I'll do the lemon juice & olive oil once a week to be on the safe side.

I think I've got stones again - started the olive oil, lemon juice and herbs last night. Did the same again this a.m. and about to have the noon dose of herbs only. Am feeling a little better with the pain and am happy to report it's not nearly as bad as the 1st time 4 years ago. At least I can walk and I don't have any pain killers anyway except for over the counter types. My 4/9/07 post lists the herbs & dosages that proved successful back then.

Who paid you to try to dissuade others from trying this remedy? The big pharmaceutical companies?? Trying this mixture for one single time won't be as effective as 3 days....
