Over the next few years I experienced passive kidney stones now and then with little discomfort - until yesterday - another full blown pain in the kidney area radiating to my back doubling me over. Not wanting to go though the 14K hospital fiasco again, I did research and as luck would have it, found this site.
The bout started at about 7:00PM, came and subsided in waves of 5~10 minutes apart - I hadn't eaten dinner yet so nausea wasn't too bad. At 8:00PM I drank the 2oz olive oil / 2oz lemon juice concoction - within a few hours the waves of pain lessoned. I drank 5 tall glasses of water during this whole time and was urinating every hour throughout the night. By morning the pain was gone - and by noon today I was back to normal.

This works! 2 oz of lemon juice and 2 oz of olive oil. Within 45 minutes of gulping down this nasty mixture I was pain free. Like night and day! For me, the pain may have intensified slightly after swallowing it. But well worth it. This was 5 days ago and still no pain. Anyone know why I now must urinate twice as often as before this cure? Perhaps frequency of urine will adjust back over time?Replied By Migra44 (Alamogordo, New Mexico, Usa) on 08/21/2011
I have had kidney stones before so I know what the pain feels like and where it's located. The pain was concentrated on my left lower back and it radiated forward to my pelvic area. I took codeine 300-30 mm tablets to lessen the pain but after 24 hours, not even this pill was helping. After enduring 24 hours of agony I decided to try the 2oz lime juice-2oz olive oil remedy and within one hour I was already feeling much better. However, the pain intensified for a few minutes on the second hour as the stone made its way out. I drank several glasses of water after I took the remedy to help me flush out the stone. This remedy worked for me. I have no idea what size stone I passed because I did not go to the hospital to get an x-ray but whatever its size; it passed. I did not see it come out when I urinated so it was probably a small one. Drinking the remedy was not that bad. I had an after taste of the olive oil for a couple of hours but other than that I was fine.
