Hi Bill, Sorry you are having kidney stone pain. This happened a few years ago to a friend and she was in so much pain, in desperation she searched online and found a "secret" that would dissolve stones. She paid the 30 dollars to find out the secret and then felt really stupid. But she did what it said and hasn't had any pain since. The directions? In the morning drink a whole 2 liter bottle of regular cola within two hours (she did a glass every 15 min.) then as soon as you finish the last of it eat 8 oz of pureed asparagus. She bought a can, added some seasoning and warmed it up before she ate it. She said when she urinated it smelled really strong and the directions said the stone would pass within hours. She said she must have passed the stone because she was in extreme pain when she started the cure and by the end of the day the pain was gone and she hasn't had any since. Obviously the chemistry of the urine changes and dissolves the stone. Not sure what's happening, but it seemed to work.Replied By Bill (Stone Ridge, Ny) on 02/11/2010
Well, I seem to be a yea after all. I feel foolish, having posted myself as a nay, but its now been 48 hours since I've had any pain. I've peeing through a strainer and have not passed the stone but perhaps it has completely dissolved. A urologist I just saw last week recommended drinking 3 oz of lemon juice in 30 oz of water daily as a stone preventative.
EC: Rating has been changed - thanks for the update!

I forgot to thank you, Cindy, for your kind response to my posting. I am still pain free and have stopped trying to catch the stone. However, if my pain returns I will definitely down a two-liter bottle of coke and then take the purree of asparagus (ugh). So, thanks.Replied By Radka (Portland, Or) on 03/30/2010
In my opinion, the reason your stone moved only a bit (without passing) in 5 days on using this "treatment" is because you only followed it with the cup of water. In all other posts of positive results, they all drank close to 1L= 32oz of water. Lemon juice is acid and breaks down the calcium stone (80% of kidney stones are made of calcium) and plenty water is used to flush it out fast. But you could as well be the 20% case where this remedy might not work.
