Message for Ted.

I have kidney stone and my blood pressure is erratic which come up to 155/95 from 137/82 every now and then.

I'm suffering chronic back pain due to this kidney stone. I already went through with Litothripsy, but still there is a small stone left which has not been washed out from my system. I read that having kidney stone that the urine is alkaline so I need to made it acidic to melt the stone away. But your treatment for high blood pressure is more into alkalinezation.

Hope you can assist me on his dilemma.

Ed

My son had kidney stones and was in severe pain with nausea. I searched the net and kept coming across lemonade with potassium citrate to help smooth the jagged stones so they will get smaller and pass. I found potassium citrate in crystal light natural limonade. He guzzled it. It took 6 excruciating days and then he passed the pea size rock. He also drank applejuice and water. The only positive thing that came from his kidney stone was, he lost 20 pounds. Hope this helps. My Mom also had kidney stones and wouldnt follow my advice and had the breaking up treatment like you. It worked but she was in pain while some of the little pieces had to pass out in a few days.

A family member of mine had severe kidney stones. Doing research and speaking the doctor kidney stones are made from something excessive in body. For Example my family members kidney stones were formed as they drank lots of tea. One of the main things you must do is drink lots of water every day. The water flushes the stones from forming. Good luck...
