OLIVE OIL AND LEMON JUICE READER FEEDBACK

[YEA]  09/16/2008: Rod from Charlotte, NC writes: "i was lucky to find this site and sent to all my family. i don't carry insurance and am reluctant to go to the doctor. But the pain of bladder stones during urination was too much. But before i went to the doctor i found this site and this remedy.

i took 2 ounces each of lemon juice from concentrate and olive oil. i did it every few days for about a week and a half. then i waited months to respond to this site. the pain was gone immediately and after 9 days i didn't get a return of pain during urination. yes i knew for a fact it was not VD or any other issue like that..."

[YEA]  09/13/2008: Djordje from Varvarin, Serbia writes: "Absolutely yes! I had pain for a third day in a row. It is like in hell. I had using many painkillers but they not help so much. Then I find this website, thank God. I mixed up olive oil and lemon juice. Dink that up followed by a large amount of water. After 2 hours I have pop out first stone but pain continues. Tomorrow morning second stone drops out without any pain in the penis and no more pain was presented from that point on. So this is definitely yes for me and I will use this method first if this happen again."

[YEA]  09/11/2008: Dale Reed from McAllen, TX writes: "Thankfully to God and this site my vote is a 'yea'. Here is my story -- It started with severe pain in my side one morning (on 7/1/08). Actually I believe it all started months before that with my drinking too many sodas and not enough water each day. When the pain began I had no idea what was causing it. All I knew was that I needed to get to a hospital ASAP. A friend drove me to one and upon arrival I was given a morphine transfusion for pain. After x-rays and two (unnecessary and very expensive) cat scans I was told that I had a five mil. stone in one of my ureters. I say unnecessary because I believe the x-rays would have been sufficient. I was then prescribed two oral pain medicines and told that I needed to see an urologist. The severe pain returned the next morning and dissipated after taking the meds. This occurred again for the next two days. That's when I began my internet search for a possible cure for the stone and came upon this site. I decided to drink three ounces of lemon juice and three ounces of extra virgin olive oil instead of two ounces of each because I am a bigger person than average and also so that I could be more certain that it would work. I drank this two times a day (morning and evening) for three days followed each time with about 12 ounces of water. The taste of the concoction was terrible but made more bearable by drinking a very small amount of V-8 juice immediately after each dose and before drinking the glass of water. I have had no more pain after taking my first dose and I never saw a stone pass (or any blood). I believe the stone was dissolved by the acid from the lemon juice. Again, thank God it worked for me. It's too bad I didn't take this remedy before my visit to the hospital. I now have a bill from the hospital for $7,316.20 and a bill from the attending doctor for $931. People really need to know about this treatment in order to avoid a lot of pain and unnecessary expenses."

[YEA]  09/03/2008: Forest from Kitchener, Ontario writes: "I used the lemon juice and olive oil treatment. Shortly after taking the mixture and a glass of water the pain subsided. Two treatments later I passed a 4-5mm stone without any pain. It worked great and will be used again."

[YEA]  08/30/2008: Keith from Tampa, FL writes: "After passing a kidney stone 15 yrs ago, I thought I'd never get one again. 10 days ago I had right=sided back pain that radiated to my right lower abdomen. I urinated blood tinged urine for 2 days then after my excruciating 2 hrs of pain (labor-pain) I passed a 3 mm stone. A week later the bloody urine started again with moderate discomfort in my low-back and abdomen. i thought "not another one!". this discomfort went on for 2 days while at work. I'm a nurse that works in the emergency room and took care of 2 patients passing stones during my uncomfortable ordeal. I found this website last night and decided to try 2oz lemon juice and 2oz of olive oil while continuing my fluid intake(cranberry/water). This morning I mixed just the lemon juice 2oz and a quart of water, and 2 hrs later gave birth to a hideous 5mm stone. Although I am a nurse I believe I would have wasted my time going to the emergency room. Thanks !"

[YEA]  08/26/2008: Seaside Andy from Panama City, FL writes: "I am very cynical and was doubtful. However, when you actually get the results that I have read about in these posts, it's very compelling so I am glad I tried it. 3AM Monday morning awoke to find I was peeing what looked like cherry kool aid. 6 mos earlier I had a stone that gave me the chills, back ache pains fever, etc. So I figured I was in for this again with the peeing blood. Went online and found your site. I gathered all the necessary items to perform an oil/lemon, celery tea and coke/asparagus mix. I wanted to do the coke thing as a last resort. I hate the thought of drinking that much liquid crap in 2hours time. So at 7:30am I took 4oz Olive Oil/4 oz Lemon Juice (fresh squeezed). At 9:00 am drank celery seed tea (1 teaspoon celery seeds and 1 cup water - boiled let cool, then chug). 10 am another 1 cup of celery seed tea. By Noon that day the urine resembled urine and not red wine. Also I could "feel" the stone moving as the pain in my back was releived within an hour of drinking the oil/juice. The pain was pretty much non existant by 2pm. At 2pm took another 4oz/4oz juice & oil. Oh, yeah - I drank about 1 1/2 gallons of distilled H20 between 8am - 3pm. So I went to bed at 11pm and kept "the jug" by the bedside. After having woke at 3am this morning - I am glad to say I passed about a 4mm stone. And as an added bonus, about 5 GALL stones in my stool! This concoction appearently helps get rid of gall stones too! - BTW I see a lot of comments regarding the taste. It does give a "kick" at first swallow, but I did not have any problems except initially feeling nauseated after drinking. After that nothing. So take from my post what you will. I am going to keep doing this for another few days to maybe release some straggler stones! - Good Luck and thanks for the info on this site!"

[YEA]  08/25/2008: PB from Austin, TX writes: "I *can't* believe it! This actually worked, and like others on this site, I too am a skeptic. But I'm a skeptic with no health insurance, so after reading a BUNCH of stuff, I decided to try this. (I read about the Coke & Asparagus method also, but I didn't think I could handle that much Coke in 2 hours.)

So after feeling pretty bad on Friday and Saturday, I spent all day Saturday doing my diagnosis and trying to find cheap home remedies, all on-line of course. Saturday night around 8 pm, I drank 2 oz. of pure, fresh lemon juice mixed with 2 oz. of extra virgin olive oil (cold pressed). Yeah, it's gross, but definitely do-able. Unlike others here, I did not experience any quick relief. In fact, I felt worse and thought I had perhaps misdiagnosed myself. But knowing that persistence can pay off, I got up Sunday morning and took another dose of 2 + 2 oz around 10 am. Again, gross. Again, I felt awful. I experienced a LOT of swelling in what I think is my gallbladder region - guess my gallbladder didn't like processing 2 big boluses of fat 14 hours apart. BUT, the payoff came Sunday night. I woke up a few times in the middle of the night and could tell I was feeling better. On Monday morning, I felt MUCH better. Not 100% mind you, but about 95% better than I had.

Originally, I could tell the blockage was in my right ureter, but overnight on Sunday, I felt something moving in my left ureter as well. The swelling seems to be going down in my gallbladder, but I may go to an herbalist or get some acupuncture...anything to avoid a $15K MRI/lithotripsy/gallbladder removal procedure.... Thanks, Earth Clinic & other contributors!"

[YEA]  08/16/2008: Daniel from Los Angeles, California writes: "I am 37 years old and bipolar. I never knew that I had a 'kidney stone' problem until recently. I have investigated anything that could be considered to be the cause or culprit to trigger my bipolar, and until recently, I thought I was incurable...I actually used to laugh at people that took so much time to respond to ads like this (like, 'what losers....'); but now I am one of them. I have had pains in my right side where my kidney was, but always attributed it to being dehydrated, or something I ate or just some kind of sprain. But then I wondered if I might have a kidney condition and none of my doctors would do any tests to find out. I began to lose faith in my doctors and western medicine altogether...I firmly believe that anyone who is diagnosed with a mental illness should consult a professional, but now I also suggest seeking alternative measures. Having considered my kidneys as part of my problem, I tried the olive oil and lemon juice (2oz. and 2oz. each), for about 3 days every 8 hours or so, and I started having spasms in my right kidney area almost immediately. After about 24 hours, I felt the 'tumbling' sensation in my bladder when I urinated. The second night I woke up in the middle of the night with shooting pains in my rectal area, which immediately subsided. The next morning I urinated and out came a few stones and I feel soooooo much better. I actually feel more 'clear headed' and not so pessimistic (if that's even possible...). I don't know if this is a cure for bipolar, but I SINCERELY believe that is has helped me immensely with my mental balance. Thank you for posting all of your supportive letters and Earth clinic for allowing us to post them here. God bless you!"

[YEA]  08/08/2008: Albert from Apple Valley, California writes: "INCREDIBLE!! I woke up at 11:00 pm in mild pain in my right flank/kidney area and within 5 minutes could not stand up straight, foolishly endured tremendous pain for 2 days then sought treatment, urgent care diagnosed kidney stone gave me pain killers told me to drink lots of water and it should pass. 4 days later absolutely no improvement and I intuitively felt this thing was stuck and was not going to pass, back to urgent care, then over to a CT scan results were 2 stones 7mm in the kidney doing virtually no harm and a 6mm stone stuck at the opening of the tube, the PA told me it probably won't pass and he made an appointment for me to see a urologist 2 days from then, the reality of some type of invasive procedure or sonic treatment was disturbing as I cannot afford to be off work another week or so, so I get online find this site, send my wife to the store for $10.00 worth of lemons. 1 whole lemon (about 2 oz.) and equal amt. of olive oil full dose taken twice the first 24 hours along with pain meds. Same doses 3 times the next 24 hours...somewhere in that 48 hours the stones were dissolved!!! I never even passed a stone!! thank you for this site!! had I followed traditional medicine it would have cost me thousands more in medical bills and lost income. Drs. promise to "do no harm"...why wasn't I told to take the pain med and this mixture and call them in 3 days, why...because they would lose thousands that's why."

[YEA]  08/06/2008: Jim from Panama City Beach, Florida writes: "18 months ago, I spent 7 hours in the emergency room mostly waiting to be waited on. A nurse would come and go, but no one did a thing while I writhed in paid and cried like a baby on a stupid table and vomitted three time from the pain. Finally, a doctor showed up after 4 hours and ordered a CT scan and an hour later gave me a shot for the pain.The shot worked! After two more hours the doctor came back and said I had a 12mm stone and they would have to opperate or attempt lithotrypsy. I chose the latter, but it could not be performed for another week. I went home with a bill for $14000 and they did nothing but a CT scan and a pain shot. I read about the lemon juice and olive oil remedy and took two doses the first day and one dose the second day. By the way, the pain never came back except for a bearable ache in my lower back, just below my lowest rib. On the third day, I urinated and felt a strange "tumbling" sensation that felt like something leaving the bladder, but it didn't come out and it didn't really hurt, just a weird sensation. I drank several more glasses of water and an hour later, I urinated and felt this stone "tumbling" again and just as I was about to stop urinating, it popped out with just a few drops of fresh blood and no pain. This stone measures 13.25mm! I have photos to prove. I placed it on a dime (as a reference to size) and it completely covers the president's head! I failed to mention that I would drink an 8oz glass of water approximately every two hours and two glasses with every meal. I have one question: why do doctors not prescribe this remedy?? Could it be that they could not charge $14000 for lemon juice and olive oil?? Let me know if you would like to see the photo.

[YEA]  08/03/2008: Patrick from Yorktown, Va writes: "It really works! After 3 mornings of intense pain at home, I spent 4 hours in the Emergency Room last week screaming and convulsing in pain. A CT scan found a 2.5mm stone in my ureter. Although the doctor didn't recommend the home remedy of olive and lemon juice, I went home all doped up on morphine, vicodin, and toradol and tried it anyways. I mixed up 2 oz of oil and 2oz of the juice and drank it down. I did this a total of three times in about 8 hours. It has now been 4 days with no pain, and nothing has passed! No stones, nothing! I am sure the 6 ounces of juice completely destroyed the stone...it is gone. It really works."

[YEA]  07/26/2008: Mack from Central Point, OR writes: "Big thumbs up to the olive oil and lemon juice remedy for kidney stones. I feel really let down by western medicine, as upon my first stone early this week, they gave me a 50% chance of passing it and a 90% chance of success doing the recommended ultrasound shockwave procedure, which they described as a "minor" outpatient non-surgical remedy. Turns out, it costs $15k. Even with my insurance, the cost was too much, so I cancelled their surgery and found this website. I drank the oil and juice concoction each of four days, the last dose when I felt the 5 mm stone wanting to take its final stinging leg of its journey. To my surprise, it slid right out. I combined the juice and oil remedy with two sessions of acupunture, daily doses of milk of magnesia, and a hot pack on my kidney and bladder up until the last day. My doctors didn't bother to address the constipation and the stomach gas, both which had to improve before I saw any progress with the stone. They also didn't say anyhing about staying upright and active, about hot packs, about alternatives like the oil and juice, acupuncture, or the apple cider and water mix, which I also tried. They seemed happy to rush me into surgery. I say the oil and juice remedy is well worth the thousands in dollars of savings."

07/21/2008: Celina V from Douglas, AZ writes: "Hello everyone, I finally reached a turning point in my life in which I made the decision to turn to natural ways of healing. I've had kidney stones for 20 years and many lithotripsy surgeries. I am tired with all those procedures and nothing seems to be working to prevent me from forming so many kidney stones. It is July 21 and in 6 more days I turn 40 and I would like to live a healthier quality of life. I am scheduled for another surgery in 3 weeks to blast a size 6 stone that was a size 8 a couple of weeks ago and the lithrotripsy only made it a bit smaller but has not passed yet. I will try taking the lemon juice and olive oil for the next few weeks to see if I can prevent another lithrotripsy. Thanks for the suggestion to all of you and it this works I will let you all know."

I went through the weekend in indescribable pain. I found this website Tuesday and tried the lemon-olive oil mix and it almost immediately reduced and rid the pain for the remaining time. I took it three times since Tuesday and this morning (Thursday July 17th) finally passed the little monster. Too bad I didn't find this site on Friday! Thanks for the scoop!"

[YEA]  07/14/2008: Dan from St. Louis, Missouri writes: "I've had kidney stones a number of times just in this year. I got them recently and was desperate for a quick fix, my girlfriend got online and found this one had good reviews from everyone and so I gave it a try. At the time i had drank about 15 bottles of water and still wasnt able to urinate. Not even a minute after trying this remedy I was able to go to the bathroom. I took the lemon juiceolive oil two more times the next day and I passed the stone that evening with remarkably less pain than usual."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  07/10/2008: Julie from Abingdon, Maryland writes: "My story so far is as follows. I never had kidney stones before, and realize now that I never did drink enough fluids daily. I was constantly deydrating myself, and will never do that again! Anyway, I went to the emergency room in excruciating pain on July 2nd, 2008. After the lovely and long wait, I got a CIT scan of my abdomen, etc. They said I had two 3mm in my ureta, and one 7mm in my right kidney. I then had what I call the "episode" on that next Sunday night, being in such pain I just did not think I could take it any longer. It is that bad! I finally got in to see the urologist on 7/9 and he said I would need to get the large 7mm ultrasound zapped (as I call it). I was sent home with Flomax, antibiotics (I developed a UTI which I also never had before), and instructions to get an Xray, and maybe in a few weeks I could get the zapping done. I was a bit discouraged with this whole thing, that there never seems to be any urgency on the medical establishment. We are all just supposed to suffer I guess for weeks until they can "fit us in". I am not picking on doctors, but it is frustrating. I started looking for natural ways to help with this, and found the lemon juice and olive oil idea. What I have been struggling with much more than the pain (which really only happend so far on the day I went to the emergency room and that next Sunday), is the urgency feeling of having to run to the bathroom all day. It is like a cramping, spasm kine of thing, and really puts a damper on the day! I took two lemon juice/olive oil treatments yesterday, and already this morning I have no urgency! Nothing passed yet, but I took another dose this morning, and will hopefully have some good effects as the others posted here have had! Thanks to all for the great advice!"

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  06/16/2008: Richard from Boulder, CO writes: "I'm 28 and have been experiencing progressively worse pain for about a month on the right side of my lower back through to the right ball/testicle/baby-maker, and even down the right but-cheek and inside of my right thigh.

Keep in mind that I'm 28 years old and in very good shape, exercising 24/7. So you can see my concern.

At first I thought I might have testicular cancer on the right ball, but everything feels fine, and I "sense" the pain originating from the right kidney area. The thigh is probably due to toxic or limited blood flow from/to that kidney. Thank heavens our bodies keep the toxins from our hearts and lungs until last, I guess.

I took creatine recently at the suggestion of a physical trainer, and I bet that is the source of the problem, since I can trace my pain to the time I started taking Betagen, first, and then some other creatine loader, pretty much every day. I got really sick, flu-like symptoms, and am just now getting over it. After reading all the other posts, I realized that every piss I was taking while on these supplements was cloudier and cloudier, so that's really why I'm pointing the finger for now.

After doing some quick research and finding this website and discussion, earlier this afternoon, I'm convinced I've got a stone and am trying the lemon juice and olive oil remedy as we speak. Here's the breakdown:

- Found out about miracle cure @ 2:30 pm, at work. Immediately drank 6 glasses of water.
- Went home on bike, (uncomfortable of course) and shopped for ingredients that I'd read about: lemon juice, olive oil, and magnesium, which I'll add to the routine if the little SOB doesn't come out.
- Took first dose at 4:00 pm, roughly. Dose was 3x3 oz lemon juice to olive oil. Drank like 4 glasses of water. Went down no problem.
- At 6:00 pm I drank a bigger dose, 5x5 oz lemon juice to olive oil, but cheated and lathered it up with toasted bread (like the other guy). Go big or go home. Followed with 3 glasses of water.
- It is 6:50 pm Mountain Time and I've got a full chicken in the oven, stuffed with couscous, garlic, and onion, and it's totally lathered in olive oil, which I'll down with a glass of lemon and water, so that everything is basically proportional, 1:1.

So, I'm in mid-recycling state I guess. I'll update tomorrow. I can say that I had a little weird sensation feeling in the kidney about 1/2 hour ago. Hurt and then tickled. Who knows, only time will tell.

Cyndi from NC: Thanks for the suggestion. I think my odds are pretty good, judging by the ratio of success stories to failures/surgeries. Probably around 70%, as long as my innards don't get so lubed up with excess olive oil that they slip outta me. :)"

This latest episode sent me to the ER which of course was pointless because they couldn't see anything on the CT scan and they promptly start treating you like you have a back sprain and you are just in there for the pain meds. ANYWAYS, this time I wanted to try something natural, and I tried the lemon juice/olive oil thing. 2 oz of each twice a day. This is my 3rd day, and my pain is sporadic at best now - definately less intense, and my urine stream is back to normal. I am going to continue drinking it for a couple of more days, but if it doesn't rid you of the stone, it sure makes you feel a whole lot better. I highly recommend this method, for at the very minimum - pain relief so you can function."
