[YEA] 09/21/2006: Sheldon from Glendale, AZ writes: "Re: Lemon juice and olive oil -- THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! I had blood in my urine and was diagnosed with 4 stones, 4mm on up to 1cm. Was referred to urologist. 2 days before going there, I drank the horrible tasting (gagging, really) concoction of 2oz lemon juice and 2oz olive oil. Within a day, my blood in urine was gone, along with almost all of the pain! Urologist said only one stone left, a big one, and will get another xray in 2 weeks to check on it. Needless to say, I will be gagging down the concoction every day until that appointment. I also noticed TODAY that my urine has gravel in it-the damned stones disintegrated! Thanks again for the cure. Beats lithotripsy, even the new one with no water/tub!"

[YEA] 09/18/2006: Larry from Madison, MS writes: "I had a kidney stone in the past that kept me in the hospital for 3 days drugged up the whole time before it passed. I started getting pains on Saturday morning and by Saturday night I was thinking oh brother here we go again!!!!! By 2 a.m. I was surfing the internet and paying people for "Miracle Cures". By Sunday morning I was fatigued and worn out but still trying to avoid the E.R. and make it till Monday morning to see my doctor. I gave the internet one more try looking for home remedies you didn't have to pay for and stumbled across this web page. I drank the potion at 9 pm and by 9:20 all pain had disappeared and I was one happy camper again!!!! It is now the next day and the stone has not passed but there is still no pain!! Thank you for this web page and advice. I will be trying other remedies I found here also."

[YEA] 09/13/2006: Jesse from Pinellas Park, FL writes: "Greetings to all. I just wanted to comment on the Lemon Juice and Olive Oil remedy for Kidney Stones. I had, not so long ago, my first experience with kidney stones with a 5-7cm stone. As big headed as I am, I didn't know what was going on, or go to the hospital until it had already passed out of my kidney and into my ureter, which dismayed the hospital. Too late for a stint, should have been too big to pass, lucky for me it broke up into a few smaller pieces. Now, I had two major episodes during this period, one while I was at work which was...well, let's just say I've been hurt in almost any way you can think of, so home remedies aren't my thing. The first episode put me on my knee's in my workplace restroom, completely unexpected. But that didn't stop it, it continued when I went home for almost a day. Sweating, tears and agony even with medications to ease my pain. I looked up this remedy, said what the heck, every time I felt the pains in the groin area, I took the 4 ounces (2 Lemon Juice, 2 Olive Oil) while holding my nose, twice. By the morning, scared to attempt to use the restroom knowing I was in for more pain, I bit the bullet and did my business. Low and behold, even though the rest were smaller, they were plentiful (half an pencil eraser tip or less). I'm not going to say FOR SURE that this worked; however, I will say, whatever MAY help, DO IT! Even my doctor was wowed to hear that it may have helped and actually gave it some thought, the oil coats and the lemon juice helps break the stone down as well as a neutralizer. I hope this helps others and I hope you all feel better!"

The stone showed up on a CT scan last Wed. The Dr. gave him meds to relieve the pain etc. He has an appointment with the Dr. tmro and he will be taking the stone with him. As of 11:00 PM EST only 5 hours after drinking the lemon juice and olive oil he passed the stone. They were planning on putting him in the hospital and removing it. It works!! It really works!! Praise The Lord!! The stone is about 7mm."

[YEA] 08/14/2006: Lisa writes: "THANKS CINDI! I have have kidney stones for "ever" it seems like they mainly hurt on my right, after several times to the hospital for treatment and a lithotripsoy, it seemed endless well in Feb. I thought my kidneys were on another spell so.. off to the hospital, well.. it was my appendix. I had emergency surgery for that and my kidneys never hurt anymore so.. of course I thought it was my appendix and not my kidneys. then last week my left side starting hurting, so.. I started crying cause I didn't want that pain anymore. I read this and tried it and within 10 min. I don't hurt anymore!!! I haven't passed the stone yet but I am so convinced that I will. I was told they are 7mm."

[YEA] 08/06/2006: David from Sun City, FL writes: "I started having lower-right back pain a couple of weeks ago. I knew it was a possible kidney stone as I had a couple of them about 15 years ago when I was in my early twenties. I quickly went to my doctor as I knew the pain would rapidly increase. The pain was almost unbearable by the time I got a pain shot. He prescribed some Percocet (pain pills) and some Ibuprofen and sent me home. I was glad to get some pain medicine because I thought I would just go home and pass the stone. That was what happened with both of my stones that I passed 15 years ago. Unfortunately, it wasn't going to be that easy this time. So for the next week I would have severe pain for about a day and a half and then the pain would stop for another day and a half and then the cycle would repeat. I tried the 'jump and bump' method of passing stones. This is where you jump 2-4 inches and land with your legs locked and it kind of jars your body to try and get the stone to drop. I probably jumped so much that I am now probably a few inches shorter. Well this didn't work. So I went back to the doctor and got an ultrasound and an IVP scan. This is where they inject you with a dye and take a bunch of x-rays. The results showed everything was normal (no stones!). The doctor was surprised that everything was ok so he scheduled me to get a CT scan thinking the pain might be something behind the kidney. That night I did some more research on 'right flank pain' and found this site. I saw the 2oz lemon juice/olive oil recipe and decided to try it. I got some lemons and squeezed them into a measuring cup and got about 1/2 cup. Since I needed to use the same amount of olive oil, that would make a whole cup of this stuff to drink. I didn't think I drink all of that and keep it down so I used a 1/4 cup of each. It actually didn't taste bad. It just makes your lips feel weird (oily). I chased it with a bottle of water. After after about 15 minutes I actually felt a tingling feeling in my right lower flank. At the time I thought it must just be my imagination. I drank this in the afternoon. The next day no stones came out. But the following morning I passed a huge stone 9-10mm that had some very sharp crystalline formations attached to it. I was so happy. I then canceled my CT scan and I can't wait to show my doctor. I am going to get my stone analyzed so I will know what type it is but I think the best thing is to drink more water every day. Many thanks to this site. I wish I had tried this a week earlier."

[YEA] 07/28/2006: Anthony from Middle Village, NY writes: "5 days while at work I had gotten a sharp pain in my lower back and left side just under my rib cage. The pain was enormous. I thought that I had gas and drank a can of ginger ale. The pain did go away for about 2 hours. Later that night I had gotten a bad attack. I stuffed myself with gas x and mylanta and suffered all night. The next morning i woke feeling like i was hit by a truck but had no pain in my back or side. My family members suggested that maybe I had a kidney stone, but i had no pain. Needless to say later night I found myself in the emergency room. The pain was unbearable. When i entered they instantly said kidney stone. Well they were right. They did a cat scan and said it was a 4 mm and it was in a good position and that i should pass it soon. Well soon felt like an eternity. The pain was so bad that i was going out of my mind. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't sit down, I couldn't lay down. Every time i drank water or cranberry juice the pain would get worse. My stomach would blow up, I would then urinate followed by a pulsating stabbing in my whole left side. Well anyone who is going through this knows what I am talking about. When I woke up with lots of blood in my urine I went to the doctors office. I told him that percasets were not working so he gave me vicadine but nothing relieved the pain. Thank God my brother stumbled across this web site. When I read all the good reviews I figured there was nothing I could lose. Last night at 1 am I felt the pain coming on strong. I then mixed 2 ounces of lemon juice and 2 ounce of olive oil. I was scared it would make the pain worse but it didn't. I drank it quickly followed by a large glass of water. I was surprised that the taste wasn't bad at all and it wasn't as thick as I anticipated. I was also loaded up on pain killers just in case. Within minutes of drinking this I felt almost a soothing of my side. I was still in much discomfort for most of the night. Finally at 6 am I fell asleep. 1 hour later at 7 am I woke and felt like I had to go to the bathroom but it also felt like something was trying to come out. I rushed to bathroom and it just slipped out. No pain.. NO PAIN... NO MORE PAIN. It was a sharp little thing mixed with some blood. The pain was gone. For anyone going through this try, it immediately 2 ounce lemon juice mixed with 2 ounces of olive oil. When you feel the pain drink it fast followed by a full glass of water. Within 6 hours my pain was gone. I don't know why the doctors don't tell you to do this. I guess they just want to make some money."

[YEA] 07/24/2006: Steven from Ocala, FL writes: "I was billed $3,000 at a local emergency room to find out I had a kidney stone. The shock of such a high bill for not even two hours work which didn't even eliminate the problem was about as bad as the excruciating pain. I luckily found your site online and thought, "What the hey? It isn't poisonous, so I'll give it a try" The next day I was in even worse pain but at least I could feel that the stone was moving. The pain completely stopped, and the following day, without any pain at all, I passed the stone. End of story. So put me down in the Yes It Works column!! And thank you for sharing your cure."

[YEA] 07/22/2006: Frank from Hershey, PA writes: "I passed a kidney stone 20 hours after drinking the mixture of 2 ounces each of lemon juice and olive oil followed by a large glass of water. I started having kidney stone pain at 1:00 a.m. Thursday. The pain was extremely severe all day Friday. My wife found your web site with the #1 remedy for lemon juice and olive oil. I was in so much pain I immediately tried the remedy at 8:40 pm on Friday. Within 1/2 hour my pain subsided and I had no pain on Saturday. At 4:10 pm Saturday, I passed a kidney stone the size of a small peppercorn. I have had kidney stones twice before and it took the usual week and a half to pass them. I am definitely going to use this remedy if I experience any more kidney stones in the future. THANKS FOR YOUR WEB SITE."

[YEA] 07/04/2006: Pam from Vermont writes: "On 6/26/06 I was taken to hospital where I was diagnosed with a 3mm kidney stone. I was discharged and instructed to drink massive quantities of water and take Ibuprofen as needed as the stone could take anywhere from 1 day to 1 month to pass. I scheduled a follow up appointment with Urologist ("earliest appointment" 7/11). Needless to say; the pain and discomfort was unbearable. On 7/03 I found this website and decided to try the lemon juice/olive oil. I drank the mixture at 7 p.m. followed by a large glass of water. At 10 a.m. today; I passed not one, but TWO stones. Happy Independence Day!!!!! And yes; I Believe!"

Dealt with it for 24 hours, I called a friend of mine (Charlotte) for advice on Sunday morning, she told me about the lemon juice and olive oil remedy she had read on Earth Clinic web. I immediately went to the kitchen and drank the lemon juice and then drank the olive oil and water. 10 hours later the stone/stones dissolved and I was able to pass them. Thanks to Earth Clinic and my friend (Charlotte) for the cure!!!! God Bless you both."

Whipped together, it didn't taste too bad at all. I repeated dose again in 24 hours. It's been 15 hours since my last dose, and the stone is still with me. I'm going to try tea brewed from a plant called Chamberbitter."

[YEA] 05/30/2006: Rob from Ewa Beach, HI writes: "In the past 18 yrs, I've passed well over 100 uric acid kidney stones. I've had J stents placed in me 3 times and lithotrisy once. I pass most of my stones without incident, but there are many that are stubborn and the pain is relentless for days, weeks and months at a time. This most recent episode brought me online once again looking for a remedy. Well I ran into this site where olive oil and lemon juice is recommended and I had to give it a try because I have nothing else to lose. The jury's still out because I haven't passed the stone yet, but if it does pass within the time other have, I'll be very happy."

[YEA] 05/20/2006: Angie from Indianapolis writes: "On Monday my husband called me at work and said that he had a horrible pain in his back. He went to the doctor and was told that it was most likely a kidney stone, the doctor gave him some pain killers and told him to drink lots of water and it would go away some time in the next two weeks. For three days my husband laid in the bed in a drug induced sleep because that was the only was he could stand the pain. On the fourth day I went to my computer and did a search engine for kidney stones and found this site. My husband was willing to try anything to get rid of the pain. He drank the olive oil and lemon juice about 6:00pm on Thursday and by 6:00am on Friday he had passed the stone. This not only saved my husband's sanity but mine as well. THANKS!!!"

[YEA] 02/04/2006: Isabel from Miami, FL writes: "For the last 6 months I've had flank pains, Nausea, blood in my urine, etc. Three weeks ago, I went to my Dr. who diagnosed me with a urinary cyst and last week another said I had IBS (Irritable Bowl syndrome). That same day I ended up in the hospital because the "attacks" had become consistent and I could no longer tolerate the pain. My suspicions were confirmed, they told me I had a 4 mm stone in my left kidney. At 19 I've dealt with cancer and cysts on my ovaries that flare up during menstruation, the last thing I needed was kidney problems. I was discharged from the hospital WITH the stone because I didn't have insurance. I didn't know what to do or when the stone was going to come out so at this point I knew I'd have to take it into my own hands, I went on the web and discovered the WONDERFUL REMEDY # 1! It REALLY WORKED Thank you, Cyndi!!! It was 12 am and out of desperation I prepared the remedy, it didn't taste so bad but it was hard to keep down. 9am I had a sharp pain during urination, I chickened out and ran for my percosets because I knew it was coming. I held off urinating till about 11:30 and sat in a tub of hot water were I noticeably released the stone! I don't know if passing it would have been painless without the pain killer, but I know within 9 hours I was ready to let that sucker go. I totally recommend this, it's inexpensive and in the comfort of your own home. Try it, it just might end your suffering. Good luck!
'Wes from Riverview Florida writes, "Been in pain on and off since jan 2nd 06. Went to doctor Feb. 20 told me to go get iv/tomog. Setup appointment 4 days later.

OLIVE OIL AND LEMON JUICE RECIPES
[YEA] 04/22/2008: Cindy from Castle Rock, CO writes: "My aunt told me to check out this site for the kidney stone recipe. After 3 months of battling a stuck kidney stone, the urologist decided to do a lithoscopy. About a week before the procedure I drank the 3oz lemon juice/3 oz olive oil mixture- 2 days in a row. The second day I felt some cramping and had some bloody urine, but did not feel the kidney stone pass. I continued to drink fresh lemon juice for a few days. I went to have the procedure a few days later and the Dr did not do the lithoscopy as there did not appear to be a kidney stone. He scoped up into the kidney and injected dye- NO kidney stone. I wish I had done this sooner. I am convinced it really works!!! Thank you!"

[YEA] 02/11/2008: Chris from Fulton, Kansas, USA writes: "This is what worked for me. In a blender mix 10 oz cooked canned asparagus, 4 oz lemon juice, 4 oz olive oil, add distilled water until drinkable. Drink all of this with two Ibuprofen and 2 liters of distilled water. Repeat every 4 hours. My personal results were pain stopped after about 2 hours, after the fourth dose of this awful tasting mixture I passed some nasty sludge and small gravel and the stone was gone. I've suffered this condition for 6 years, about two stones per year, the largest was 11mm for which I was hospitalized and the average is 6mm. This works and has saved my sanity, I now have a solution other than crying and bargaining with God. Good luck."

While the doctors monitored the movement of the stones and contemplated surgery I was keeling over from pain and sweating from d bad feelings. While they took their sweet time, I researched and found the remedy of 3 oz lemon juice, 3 oz virgin olive oil and the added magnesium supplement (a must) to dissolve the stones and then sleep on the right side. In 2 days the pain was gone - no surgery and no stone on the doctors imaging system. No more reoccourence of stones. Happy in New Jersey"

OLIVE OIL, HYDRANGA, MARSHMALLOW ROOT, LOW OXALATE DIET
[YEA] 07/04/2007: Gina from Seattle, Washington writes: "Olive Oil worked on my current kidney stones,, I mean I believe it flushed everything out and I also took Natures Sunshine, Hydranga,,4 capsules 3 times a day with food.any Hydranga brand will probably work. Also marshmellow root helps, plus a gallon a day of water with 1 cup lemon juice, that dissolved the stones in about a week..Hydranga dissolves all type of stones. But I also think that everyone out there should wikipedia, the LOW OXALATE DIET. It confirms what doctors are now saying. That foods high in Oxalate content cause kidney stones. This is from the University of Pittsburgh, Medical Center. I find that when I do eat the foods that are low in Oxalates I have no kidney pain. Luck to all"
