A couple of months ago I had passed a 5mm stone using this remedy of olive oil and lemon juice concoction.2 weeks ago, I had more discomfort - mostly in my bladder and urinating caused my penis to burn. Again I used the Lemon/Oil mix and finally pissed out a 9 1/2 mm stone..... my biggest rock to date!!!
I've noticed that the size of my stones have been increasing in size, probably due to a high intake of sugary foods and coffee.
This remedy definately works..... have been a regular user of this remedy for a couple of years now.

I have many stones in both kidneys (largest is 13mm) and I'm trying to avoid Lithotripsy (have bad reactions to anesthesia). I don't know if I can get myself to swallow 2oz of olive oil. I've found 1000mg olive oil gel caps, do you think if I swallow them with the lemon juice, it will work the same way?Replied By Greg (Alameda, California) on 03/15/2010
I've used fish oil gels as a substitute for olive oil and have had mixed results with it. The best way to drink the olive oil without gagging - is to mix 1 ounce with 2 ounces of chilled (cold) lemon juice. This gives the concoction a "lemon meringue" flavor.Replied By Sandy (Evans, Co) on 05/02/2010
I suddenly had deep pink-colored urine, no pain. Went to dr. and after testing, was told it was either kidney or gall stones. I had no insurance, but knew my last round of having kidney stones removed had cost plenty. Went surfing and found this wonderful website. I tried the lemon juice and olive oil treatments (2oz of ea plus @ 1/4 cup water twice a day, but also increased magnesium from 400 mg to 800 and the next day the urine was clear again. Repeated the doses for 2 more days. That has been 5 weeks ago, and I have been symptom-free ever since. Just read that B vits and l-lysine can help. I already take 1200 mg of calcium. (It is a shortage of calcium that causes these, not too much as most doctors have been taught.)
