What are holistic remedies to prevent kidney stones
What are holistic remedies to prevent kidney stonesPosted By Frances Seaton (Highlands Ranch, Co/usa) on 08/10/2011
I spent several days using holistic, herbal remedies to try and flush the stone that was plaguing me. I ended up in the emergency room Monday August 8th. After a week of doing everything imaginable. The stone was 8mm*10mm and far to big to pass. I ended up having it laser blasted. I have elevated parathyroid and take copious amounts of Vit D. Despite this, I developed this huge stone.. I do not eat red meat, do not drink sodas or caffeine. What else do I need to do to stop this from happening again.. This is my second time for needing it blasted. Help! Fran

Fran - Lots and lots of water every day. Have as little dairy as you can, and avoid things like peanuts and chocolate. Supplement with a good strong dose of Vitamin C each day (either ascorbic or citric acid), as it creates an environment where the stone will dissolve before it's even big enough to cause a problem. All best.
