My friend came to visit and suggested apple cider vinegar as it had cured her stones. I took 2 shot glasses of apple cider vinegar that night (without any water) but was skeptical. But within hours the dull pain in my back was completely gone!
In the morning, I took about 2 shots of ACV and I passed several large stones without any pain.
Occasionally now, my stones come back as I am prone to them, but 2 shots of apple cider vinegar does the trick everytime. Completely amazing!

About 2 years ago I suffered from kidney stones (most likely caused from dehydration due to my foolish lack of drinking water and bad diet! )which had me keeled over on my living room floor in a fetal position multiple times. I drove myself to the ER when it got to the point where I worried about my life! The doctor told me I had kidney stones, and would probably need laser surgery to break them up and "heal". After a $5K consultation, I was released with some antibiotics and pain killers to think it over.
After hours of extensive research (mainly from earthclinic!), I came across ACV treatments for the first time in my life (I'm now 36). I drank 4 oz. Shots of _____s ACV with 2-4 oz. Shots of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) every hour, and the next day (the day after I was in the ER), I urinated out the kidney stones as more of a dust rather than the massively painful stone. Felt on a scale of discomfort of 1-10, maybe a. 5. ACV and EVOO softened and dissolved the stones into powder within a day! 1 DAY! I never even took the pain killers.
After the first horrible tasting shot of ACV, the pain stopped! I can handle bad taste over fetal position pain any day. I haven't been to the doctor since, and I always keep 1 or 2 big bottles of _____s ACV on hand for nothing but medicinal purposes, as everyone should!
Thanks for your site, and please pass on the Kidney Stone story for those who could use it! Obviously diet, water, and PURE 100% Cranberry juice should be added to help restore the kidneys, and lots of water and a true/real healthy diet will keep any illness away, but thank God for ACV!
Thanks again!

I ask my dear hubby if he could get some ACV done-- personally, I'd have to be knocked out and administered while sleeping! I think he is just ready to get rid of the pain so he would be willing to drink an entire gallon.

I've made ACV, lemon juice, olive oil and honey as part of my morning and nightly routine, and I drink water all day long (to the point of me having to "go" all the time). I need a specific recipe that I can stick to. And it may involve MOVING FROM GEORGIA!!
I wonder if the CDC knows about this??

Actually, it might also be the constant drinking of TEA … which I discovered is high in oxalates. I imagine that's not too well known. It made my own kidney stones grow significantly.

I am a Georgian, have had kidney stones, and never drink tea, but have always drank a lot of soda.
Thanks for this site. I'm a skeptic by nature, but all the successes with ACV, Olive Oil and lemon juice are encouraging. Will be trying it!

She drank lots of tea and coke before. She wont be anymore. I'm confused what supplements she needs to take to prevent further stones. Seeing vitamin b-6. She takes a b-12pill daily for energy and was taking ginseng. Did this contribute to it do you think?

My husband had kidney stones really bad several years back. I told him to drink some apple cider vinegar. It seemed to dissolve them enough to pass easily.
