My kidney stones are calcium oxalate. I have passed three very painful stones in 25 years, but those days are over now that I use the following lemon juice remedy. In August 2016, I had the symptoms of a kidney stone (sudden urge to urinate and jabbing pain in the right kidney). I went to the doctor, and after an ultrasound, I was told I had a 6mm kidney stone in my right kidney and other smaller stones. The 6mm would be extremely painful to pass, so I searched YouTube for remedies. I found a guy who recommended 1 cup of straight lemon juice in the morning and then adding half a squeezed lemon (about 1 oz lemon juice) to 8 oz cup of water and drink that up to 12x a day. That's a lot of lemons. As such, I only drank 1/2 cup of straight lemon juice in the morning. I would wait about 1/2 hour before eating and brushing teeth. Then I'd add half a juiced lemon to one cup (8oz) of water and drink 8 or more cups of that a day. In time (a few weeks to one month) the kidney pain disappeared, and when I had a CT scan in 5/2017 the 6mm stone was gone. I never passed the stone or ended up in the hospital or needed lithotripsy or a stint.

Please note that I have also tried the lemon juice /olive oil remedy and the olive oil only made me sick to my stomach. I don't think there is a need for the olive oil at all. From my experience, it is the lemon juice that dissolves the stone.

Lemon Juice for Kidney Stones – Miracle Medicine Foods For Kidney, Bladder And Urinary Problems.

From the Book: Miracle Medicine Foods, p. 83-95. 1977 – Rex Adams

Large urate stones (stones caused by excessive uric acid) found in the urinary tract can be dissolved through the simple ingestion of lemon juice, says Dr. Bertrand Bibus, chief urologist, Kaiser Franz Joseph Hospital, Vienna.

He says that such stones have been dissolved by having patients drink the juice of 1 or 2 lemons a day. It was effective in about 50 percent of ail cases of large urate stones. 'Where small urate stones occur chronically, " Dr. Bibus says, "the symptoms, as well as the formation of new stones, cease immediately upon institution of this therapy."

Other common foods that have been used for relief of kidney, bladder and urinary problems include asparagus, beets, black-eyed pea hulls, carrots, cherry juice, cornsilk tea, cranberries, garlic, kidney beans, onions, parsley, radishes, sage tea, and watermelon.

B/c I went through severe hyperthyroidism I also get the kidney stones that go along with it. Even though it was years ago, I still get reminded by a kidney stone every now and then. I immediately grab for the lemon juice and within 24hrs, it's relieved.
