Hello,
I am Shahla from Pakistan. I am suffering from Kidney stones since last three years. Few days back, I had gone through a Lithrotripsy session, but all in vain. I want to ask that ACV really works because my stones are big in size. I need your help in this regard. I will be highly obliged.Replied By Debbie (San Diego, Ca) on 11/17/2010
I have never been much of a home remedy person but I have had kidney stone issues since 1988. I have been on diuretics for the last 19 years. This last April, I found out I had a kidney stone that took up the entire inside of my left kidney. After 2 Percutaneous Lithotripsy's and a tube out my back for 5 weeks, I knew I had to do more. I looked on the Internet and found out that I should stay on a low oxalate diet. It's been 7 months and I started feeling that familiar pain in my side again. After 2 nights of feeling mildly uncomfortable, I was hit hard.
The following morning, a girlfriend was suggesting I take a shot of Apple Cider Vinegar. While I was in the ER she looked on this website and saw these testimonials. By the time, I got home from the ER, the Apple Cider Vinegar was on my kitchen counter. I took one shot of the Apple Cider Vinegar on Monday morning and Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon I had a CT scan. Tuesday evening my doctor wanted to schedule an emergency surgery but I'd had too much to eat or drink so we were going to have the surgery on Wednesday. Tuesday night I passed two very large stones. One was 11mm X 6mm and the other was 6mm X 6mm. All with NO PAIN! I was so excited! The Apple Cider Vinegar did the job. I'm home relaxing and not in surgery putting my body through more trauma! I'm still amazed!
P.S. My doctor called tonight to follow up and find out my remedy so he could pass it on to another patient!

I have suffered with stones for 15 years. In Oct I found out that I had a large stone (15mm) stuck in the left ureter. I had ESWL done on the stone but then discovered thru an xray that the stone had not moved. I used the ACV treatment and within three hours, passed one large fragment. Within 15 hours of taking the vinegar I passed an additional 3 fragments. I tried the Lemon and Oil that very next day. Although it made me feel relaxed, I had not seen any fragments pass in my urine. I have tried the ACV treatment again today to see if any more fragments pass. I am becoming a believer that this remedy works and have plans to use this remedy once a month to prevent further stones from forming. That is key!Replied By Sl (Philadelphia, Pa) on 01/12/2012
My mom drinks ACV with lemon juice, honey and warm water every morning to stay healthy. She's never had a kidney stone. I think it's pretty safe to drink once a month, especially since she drinks it every day.
