Well... Here goes. I'm currently in my 2nd bout with kidney stones, the first being 5 years ago. Last time I just drank tons of water and it was summer. After about 2 weeks of pain, I basically went crazy and started doing mad work around the house and pretty much "sweated" it out... Very painful.

So... It started up again about 6 weeks ago with the typical sign: hematuria. I knew what it was but went and had a CT scan to be sure. Guess what? It was a 4mm stone in ureter. I tried the lemon juice olive oil mix... And didn't really have any issues for a few weeks. Then the pain started up again, much worse this time. I went back for an x-ray and they found 6 stones this time! There were 3 in one ureter and 2 in the other and 1 in the bladder. I wasn't sure if the mix worked originally and that I possibly passed the original stone weeks ago or if it was one of the many new ones. Originally I thought the mix was an "old wives tale" and I had wasted my time, but after visiting this site and seeing all the testimonials it would be foolish to just wait for something to happen or go in for what might be an unnecessary surgery.

I go back to the uruologist on Friday (4 days). I am going to try lemon juice and olive oil mix again (and again) to see if it works for me.

I did notice that when I did it the first time (also drinking a lot of 15% lemon juice lemonaid) my urine seemed to have some grittyness to it, but didn't think too much about it at the time. Was this the 1st stone? Did the mix cause the exodus of the other stones? Of course no one knows, but I am going to see if the lemon juice and olive oil mix works. None of the stones is larger than 2-3mm, so I am thinking that the first stone passed or shrank or broke up. I will update you guys with my progress. Wish me luck and wide ureters (more the latter).

Last night I drank it. So far today I have noticed little discomfort... Less than yesterday. After straining my pee I noticed a little grit, like a grain or two of sand, but almost microscopic. It's worth mentioning that I ran out of antibiotics yesterday and the antibiotics were almost like a pain killer... So that's good. I will update again tomorrow.

Day three: with the urulogist appointment fast approaching I am amping up the oo/lj combo. Results from last night were similar to the first night: some grit in my pee but no major activity. Today, with no meds, I am relatively pain free... Some minor discomfort but not the level I'd expect from having 6 stones out of my kidneys in ureter. Having to be at work for 11 hours a day, I can't always strain my pee so I don't know if I've passed any or not. Usually I know when they pass though, but without knowing for sure, I'd say I haven't passed anything yet.

Went to the urulogist and guess what: one stone left. I didn't even know I had passed the other ones. I guess that's a "yea". At the urulogist I asked him about lemon juice and olive oil and he answered begrudgingly, "... Lemon juice: yes. Olive oil: I can't say."

Can't say or won't say! It works. The only thing you have to lose are the stones.

Also, someone mentioned to keep it to 2oz of lj, and I will 2nd that notion. I tried two lemons of juice (about 4oz). That made me sick. Keep it at 2 & 2. Great site guys.

ok, my husband has his first stone. He is in tremendous pain and I would do anything to help him. I found this site and had him, reluctantly, drink lemon and olive oil. I actually saw him fall asleep for the first time since the er visit. His pain pills are running low and I cant see him in pain anymore. How often is the treatment recommended or is it a single dose treatment? any duration between doses?days, weeks, months?

My daughter Just told me she is passing stones and she is still in pain so I say, use it till you lose it! I think the dissolving stones are clogging her urethra. I would do a tonic myself weekly if I showed signs of susceptability. Red meat, milk and cheese. Anything high in Uric acid and our bodies sometimes produce uric acids for some reason.
