OLIVE OIL AND LEMON JUICE READER FEEDBACK

[YEA]  05/01/2007: Chris from Sequim, WA writes: "It is May 1st. Last week was hard (read my post from then, April twenty-something). I kept take the suggested 2 oz. olive oil witht he 2 oz. lemon juice every couple of day because I kept getting achy in my left kidney. Stones kept coming, 2 Monday, 2 Friday and 2 Saturday and 1 Sunday.

Today is Tuesday, May 1st. I was fine yesterday, but very early in the morning (around 2 am), I was very restless and the aching was returning. GROAN! By 7 am I was suffering again but had already downed my oilive oil and lemon juice at 6 am. The pain was much more tolerable but still just could not sleep nor sit still.

Hot shower, pain pills.

I cannot tell you what happened because the mixture makes you have to stay home tethered to the bathroom. Good thing too!

But I passed an extremely large stone. I did not think that such a size was possible! Upon more reading, I learned that stones can become very very large! So I am somewhat grateful that I was actually able to pass this chunk!

I will be taking more of the olive oil and lemon juice this evening. I've been experiencing blood once in a while also and after this passage, some burning (as you can imagine). But my kidney 'still' feels achy and I'm wondering just how many stones are in there! ???

I highly recommend taking this, I really do. It is said to help with gallstones and liver problems as well.

One wonders 'why' the medical profession does not recommend this, especially since it is readily available for pennies and pure (well I just answered my own quiry, didn't I) ?

Left kidney felt like an ice pick being jabbed in and out. Popped a pain pill I had and endured the pain until about 9 a.m. when it subsided. The rest of the weekend and the following week I had pain in my groin area from time to time. Nothing like the kidney pain so it was tolerable. Still hadn't passed the stone though. I had been online and ordered a product that I had found . It's called Uriflow , it's expensive but when you're in pain you'll try anything right ? Well after doing that I found this webpage and read the remedy recipe. Sounded too easy and too good to be true but guess what, it TOTALLY WORKED!. Friday 4/27 I read this page and bought the ingrediants on the way home and took it at 7 pm along with about 2 bottles of water. Around 9:30 PM I had the urge to urinate really bad and Bam! out popped a 6 or 7 mm sized stone. Whew what a releif. I suggest to anyone with a stone to give this a try. It's basic ingredients you can buy at the grocery store , what do you have to lose, except a kidney stone."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  04/30/2007: Stu from Philadelphia, PA writes: "I have had uric acid stones before - 6 to be exact. Each time, they seem to get worse. The last was 2 years ago and lasted about 24 hours until it reached my bladder (it was 5mm) but literally took 3 months before I peed it out. Last Tuesday I started to get one again. It started mild but after several hours got really bad. At the ER, they told me I had 2 stones, a 7mm in the ureter, and an 8mm in the kidney. The thought of drinking that mixture, when the pain starts kicking in and, especially the first 24 hours of this thing would have been impossible. Now, it is Sunday night and that bugger (I'm using a polite term) doesn't feel like it's moved much at all. The pain is in the flank and is a burning, sticking kind of pain (not that initial cramping agony) which only occasionally brings on a wave of nausea. Tomorrow, the urologist will give me a catscan and tell me if it has progressed. I will ask him about this rememdy although I'm sure he was say "Drink ANYTHING". If it works, I will be in your debt forever. The x-ray I took revealed that there are several stones in there on both sides (waiting in the wings). I do NOT want to go throw this again. I lost a week's work. I want to know from the people that used this remedy if the fact that these are uric acid stones would make a difference since the 'cures' are different for calcium stones."

Better yet, do it monthly."

[YEA]  04/24/2007: Mike from Philadelphia, PA writes: "Went to the hospital with kidney pain, cat scan found a 3mm stone, sent home to pass it. Had one before, and was worried about getting more as I found out if you have a single incident, you will likley have more, looked up info on google, found your site. Had nothing to loose, tired it and within 24 hours, the stone was out. It was bigger then my last one, but this time, caus eof the oil, didin't even feel it come out. I can't believe that hospitals don't talk about this stuff, what a pitty all the people that have surgery without trying anything else. I also found a product called chanca piedra, which is supposed to do the same thing as the oil and lemon, but used the lemon oil mixture first which worked. I will use the chanca once a month to keep me from getting them again. Now I have told 10 more people about this so they have the knowledge too."

[YEA]  04/22/2007: Deputydon from Colorado Springs, Colorado writes: "Okay, I had nothing to lose. I had been to the Emergency Room twice. Once for the initial diagnosis and the second time for severe pain. I was told that I had a 4mm stone that was passing. After waiting several days and going thru lots of pain, I took matters into my own hands and found your remedy for kidney stones. I went to the store picked up a couple fresh lemons and came home and made the drink with the virgin olive oil. The mixture actually looked worse than it tasted. I read that some people had a hard time keeping it down, but I thought it went down pretty easy. I did chase it with lots of water just to make sure it stayed down. I took the drink at approx. 6:30 p.m. on Saturday the 21 of April. The pain appeared to have lessened somewhat. I went to bed thinking that I maybe would have to try it again in the morning or just give it up because it was not going to work. At approx. 2:10 a.m. I woke up with the urge to urinate. Nothing unusual since I had drank lots of water prior to going to bed. As I was urinating in my doctors provided cup, I heard a plop, and there was my stone. I had no pain as it was coming out, and I was very surprised. I believe the lemon/oil drink helped in releasing my stone. It was only a 4mm, but it was jagged and not very smooth, hence the severe pain. I think this remedy helped. I'm not some crazy person or a person that just wanted to post a positive outcome to get your hopes up. I'm a honest person, and my career is in law enforcement. My email address is not posted because I do not want unsolicited mail. If you want to write me check out my professional website, and get my email address there."

It was 7MM. I was scheduled for blasting it monday. I tried your lemon and olive oil. It is now 7:45 sunday and after very little pain it has reacher the bladder . Thank You"

[NAY]  04/22/2007: Jim from Mesa, AZ writes: "Today is Sunday, April 22,2007.. I am in Pain as we speak. I have tried the Lemon juice and Olive oil 3 times now, every other day. The pain seems to be moving from my back, to my scrotum , to the groin, burning in the penis. ANT SUGGESTIONS?? I tried the coke and asparagus, and it did dissolve a 9mm about 2 yrs ago. But it takes 2-3 hrs of time, and I am on the run lately. Email me if you wish.."

[YEA]  04/20/2007: John from Memphis, Tennessee writes: "First let me begin by saying ,I was very skeptical regarding the lemon juice /olive oil remedy for kidney stones, but like other posters here when in the kind of pain associated with kidney stones one will grasp at anything for the hope of relief. I began with excruciating pain that lasted for 6 to 8 hr periods for 3 days before seeing a doctor. The doctor diagnosed me with kidney stones and sent me for an MRI. The MRI revealed a 8mm stone in the left ureter. When I returned home still in agony I mixed 2oz fresh squeezed lemon juice with 2 oz extra virgin Olive oil as instructed on this site and drank it down. It actually wasn't that bad. I followed it with plenty of water. For the first 48 hrs I had no change , still plenty of pain .At about the 48 hr mark just when I thought it wasn't working for me, the pain disappeared completely. About a few hours later I passed 3 small stones without pain . The next morning I passed another. A follow up appointment with a urologist and a few X-rays a week later (the soonest appointment I could get) confirmed the stone was gone. The doctor was amazed and said I wouldn't have passed a stone that big without knowing it, I told him I passed 4 pieces and he said I was lucky and somehow it must have broken up. I hope I never have the chance to test this cure again however I do think It was the reason for the stone breaking up."

In the past 15 years I have had 3 surgeries for kidney stones. about every five years here we go again!well about a week ago the feeling came back again. pressure in my lower stomach.dam so i went to the internet and looked up kidney stones and vinegar cause id tired it before but it didn't work than so I thought maybe there would be something else I might find for kidney stones.thankyou thank you thank you who ever you are for the website on olive oil and lemon juice remedy for kidney stones!! In the morning i made up a glass of 2 oz extra virgin olive oil and 2oz of lemon juice.it seemed like alot to drink of this stuff but id drink all\most anything instead of having to go through my doctor visit to tell me to go to a urologist than he told me to get a mri than back to the urologisgt to tell me i needed ultra sound and also the good old trip up the penis to remove one that way too. after 17,000.00 missed time from work and all the doctors visits i felt good. that was 1 year ago.so anyway i drank it and also drank a large glass of water . i didn't eat or drink anything for 3 hours.in that time i urinated a few times and i felt a slight burning which told me fragments were coming out. I was so happy to know it was working at lunch after i eat oatmeal i did feel a little nausea but that went away.now another sign that it worked was now when i urinated the stream was stronger and before it was weak and id have to stand there and wait not anymore! it's a miracle that works thanks again I'm a very happy man!!!!"

[YEA]  04/15/2007: CHARLIE from CARMI, ILLINOIS writes: "TRIED THE LEMON JUICE-OLIVE OIL REMEDY FOR MY STONES. AMAZING BUT THIS CONCOCTION WORKED. X-RAY REVEALED 4-5 STONES IN MY RIGHT URETER. A "STEINSTRASSE" AS MY UROLOGIST CALLED IT. THIS WAS THE RESULT OF LITHOTRIPSY TO BREAK UP A 12MM STONE. DOC CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ARE GONE. WANTS EVEN MORE X-RAYS AFTER HE AND RADIOLOGY DOCTORS COULDN'T FIND ANY STONES ON 10 X-RAY SHOTS WITH DYE. I'M NOT GONNA TELL HIM A DAMN THING ABOUT HOW I GOT RID OF 'EM. HEH HEH HEH."

A bit of advice. Sounds simple, but it's important. KNOW your cups! I had two, one for the mix and one with water. I drank one and then the other. But refilled the water in the wrong cup. Putting that taste back into my mouth. Funny. I guess, but not at the time."

I woke up on a Thursday morning around 4:30 a.m. with excruciating pain, and knew right away that I had another kidney stone. This pain lasted for about four hours,and then subsided. I had pain off and on the rest of the day along with being sick to my stomach. I thought this time I would try and not go to the hospital, and so I looked on the internet for some folk remedies. The 2 oz. of lemon juice, and the 2 oz. of olive oil, followed by a lafrge glass of water looked like it was something I wanted to try based on the testamonials. It was Saturday now and about 7:00 a.m. I drank the solution. It was about 10 minutes later and the stone was moving again. I was in a whole lot of pain that lasted for about four more hours. After being totally exhausted I finally was able to sleep until about 4:00 p.m. I woke up went to the bathroom and passed my stone. Thanks for the remedy!"

[YEA]  04/11/2007: Danny from Raleigh, NC writes: "I have had several kidney stones over the years and let me start by saying I've never really believed in "home remedies and certainly never have added comments to a website such as this one. However, if my comments help one person to not experience the pain I have had over the years, my simple comments are well worth my time. Monday, I started experiencing the all too familiar pain of another kidney stone. Tuesday,I went to see my friendly Urologist. He said it was good to see me again. I unfortunately DID NOT feel the same. Another darn stone and this time it was the largest I'd had out of a half dozen or so. He said it was a very large stone but "passable". That is when I really knew tough times were ahead. Now, I know about the thought process that indicates most stones pass within 48 hours. Let me assure you that has never happen for me. Last night I figured I had nothing to lose and came across this website. What a blessing. The recipe tasted terrible, but as most of you know, taste is the last of your concerns if you're experiencing kidney stone pain. Anyhow, I passed it this morning at 3:30. It was not nearly as hard as the ones I'd had in he past. I could actually crumbled it between my fingers. Now, I am normally a very strong non believer in these home remedies, but this WORKED. p.s. No I do not work for an olive oil or lemon company (lol). Thank GOD for the lady that shared her home remedy."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  04/11/2007: John from Apple Valley, Calif. writes: "On April 4th was taken to the ER via ambulance vomiting and in the worst pain ever! I thought I was dying. Six hours and a cat scan later, I was sent home with the knowledge that I was in for a rough time with kidney stones. The pain was unbearable and went on for the entire morning and afternoon of the 5th. The pain meds were little help. My sister googled dissolving kidney stones and came up with this site and forwarded the info to me. I was willing to try anything at this point and cautiously tried it. Within the first hour I felt considerably less pain. I took another dose at bedtime. I slept the whole night through. The next day I took another dose and rested comfortably. By the early evening of the 6th I was able to go on a planned fishing trip weekend (remedy in tow). I spent the entire weekend fishing with only a little discomfort, not enough to stop me from enjoying myself. In fact I only needed Advil twice the whole time. I don't know if or when the stones passed (the doctors didn't give me a strainer) but I am feeleing so much better and the pain is almost non existant! Who would have thought lemons and olive oil could be so GREAT!!!! If you are suffering, you have GOT to try this!!! It works!!!"

[YEA]  04/09/2007: Kevin from Grand Rapids, Michigan writes: "I had a kidney stone last year and went to the emergency room only to get sent home and wait for it to pass three days later. I had the stone tested and found out I have Calcium stones. When I felt a sharp pain in my lower back two weeks ago I knew exactly what was happening. I took pain killers for two days and then decided to wait it out. A week and a half went by with no progress, so I started looking on the web for home remedies. I came across this website and went to the store and bought the lemon juice and olive oil. I took it at 9pm last night and at 9:30 this morning I passed a 3mm stone. This remedy worked for me and I would recommend it to any one who is suffering. By the way it only cost $4.00 for the ingredients :) Thanks for such a great website."

I will continue with the PDA (4 capsules 3 times a day)for maintenance since I believe the stones were caused by my body not digesting proteins properly. I'll reduce the hydrangea to 2 capsules daily & the kidney activator to 2 capsules daily. I think I'll do the lemon juice & olive oil once a week to be on the safe side."

[NAY]  04/06/2007: H B from Hertford, NC writes: "As a toxicologist I have a strong background in biochemistry, physiology, etc. and could not see why or how the lemon juice/olive oil remedy for kidney stones could work. However, I did not think it could do any harm either so, since I was hurting, I gave it a try. It was not unpleasant to drink and did not upset my stomach as some have reported. Unfortunately, it did not move my stone either. Oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained."

[YEA]  04/02/2007: Chuck from Allendale, Michigan writes: "Just last Saturday, March 31, I came accross your website while looking for a remedy for kidney stones. I have been suffering with stones since last Fall. I went through Lithotripsy twice to blast a 14mm. Both times I was given the maximum amount that can be given. Still not enough to make the pieces small enough to pass into the bladder. So, Saturday night I went to the store to pick up the lemons and olive oil. At 9:p.m. I downed the mixture of 2 oz each. Sunday nothing happened so I mixed up another cocktail and drank that by 9:p.m. Here it is on Monday afternoon and at 3:p.m. I passed 2 stones. 30 minutes later passed 2 more stones. Another 30 minutes and passed the biggest stone of the 5. I think that is all that I have. Surgery was scheduled for 2 weeks from today. I am confident that all is well now. As a preventative measure I think I will use this remedy once a month. I am a happy man!"

[YEA]  03/24/2007: Rick from Dallas, Texas writes: "This simple solution really works! But, make sure and buy fresh lemons and squeeze them yourself. Don't use lemon juice from a bottle. My first mixture with bottled lemon juice helped, but I could tell it wasn't going to do the trick. Eight hours later I drank the mixture again, but this time I used fresh squeezed lemon juice with the olive oil. Two hours later I passed the stone! I've been pain free ever since!"

[YEA]  03/19/2007: Joe from Naples, FL writes: "Oh sure, it sounded strange, but when you are suffering, you know you'll try ANYthing. I had ordered Uriflow on a Friday, but it didn't arrive until the following Tuesday. By then, I didn't need it. I found the Olive Oil/Lemon Juice cure online, and decided to try it along with an herbal formual that I found at a health food center. I bought "Stone Buster" manufactured by Herb Pharm and combined that with the oil/lemon mixture. They both tasted FOUL to say the least. But, after starting with the Stone Buster on Saturday and the oil/lemon on Sunday, the stone was passed some time on Monday night. I say some time because I was straining everything that came through (and after all of the water I drank, ALOT came through), but during the overninght, I didn't look each time I went. When I awoke on Tuesday, the little devil was in the strainer. 3mm x 5mm and I did not feel a thing!! Don't know which cure to credit, but I have to say that the oil/lemon treatment had to help. TRY IT!!!"

I had horrible back/side pains but before this I thought I had a UTI. (BTW I was told by urologist that Kidney stones can produce a false positive for a UTI on a urine analysis,) well long story short I have been dealing with these stones (5mm and 6mm ) for 3.5 months now. I have tried everything, short of catheterizing myself with straws duct taped together and sucking them out with a vacuum, so I just mixed the extra virgin olive oil and the fresh lemos together, and I will keep you updated. I hope this works!! Cheers :::gulp gulp:::"

My husband is in the Air Force, so I've had the opportunity to see many urologists regarding my problem from all over the world. None have ever mentioned this simple remedy - and boy does it ever work for the type of stones I produce!! Last week I passed yet another stone and when I woke up with flank pain this Saturday, I decided to search for a natural remedy - Found this site, tried it last night before I went to bed and "bam"... the pain has moved south and I've been eliminating tiny white shards of stones all morning long. (they are normally brown - I've been searching for some of the old ones I collect to drop in the solution to see what happens, but can't find them). Anyhoo - has anyone tried doing this as a regular regimen to eep the stones at bay - say every week or two?? I'm going to start it every Friday night from here on out and see what happens - I'll be back with more info in a month or two..."

[YEA]  03/08/2007: Geoffrey from Ellicott City, MD writes: "I am a 48-year-old male in otherwise outstanding health. I'm an ultrarunner and that could be why I suffered my first bout of kidney stones this past Saturday. Perhaps it was due to chronic dehydration. I awoke Saturday morning to the most extreme pain I have ever experienced. For the next several hours I lay on the floor screaming in pain and vomiting. My wife called my doctor and he said get to the ER. I spent the day there. They medicated me and sent me home with a strainer. I had 2 stones, 2-3 mm in route. Sunday I was in big time pain, the drugs did not do much at all. Monday I improved but was still peeing blood. Desperate to avoid having anything enter my um "works" to alleviate the issue (a man's worst nightmare) I searched the internet and found the 2 oz olive oil, 2 oz lemon juice cure. On Tuesday morning at 10:30 I drank it down. It was not hard to get down at all. I followed it with tons of water with lemon juice. Additionally I followed the protocol found here: http://www.jumpandbump.com/' Basically you drink tons of water and wait for the water to build up on top of the stone. Then you lock your legs and hips and jump from a step to a hard landing. Do that twice every 5 minutes for an hour. Wednesday, more lemon water and waiting. Thursday morning, bingo, easy as you please both rocks came out. Coincidence or cure? I don't really care because it worked for me in 48 hours with no pain."
