OLIVE OIL AND LEMON JUICE READER FEEDBACK

[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!"

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."

[YEA]  07/17/2008: Stephen from Dallas, Texas writes: "I went in to the emergency room on Friday morning July 11 with horrible lower left side back pain and was diagnosed with a 2-3mm kidney stone. 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!"

[YEA]  06/22/2008: JAI from TORONTO, CANADA writes: "I SUFFERED FROM KIDNEY STONES FOR OVER 8 MONTHS. i DID NOT WANT TO GO FOR SURGERY AND SEARCHED FOR NATURAL TREATMENT AND FOUND THIS REMEDY. I HAD GONE THRU EXCRUCIATING PAIN IN THE 8 MONTHS 4 TIMES. ENOUGH TO ALMOST PASS OUT. tHE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS CONCOCTION, I DIDN'T HAVE THE COMPLETE DOSAGE. (2 OZ + 2 OZ) NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER TWO WEEKS OR SO, I DECIDED TO GIVE IT ANOTHER SHOT, HAD THE FULL DOSAGE. I FELT SOME THING AND THE STONE DID MOVE, B'COS I HAD ANOTHER PAIN ATTACK. WHEN THE STONE MOVES, YOU GET THE TERRIBLE PAIN. THEN I CONTINUED THE DOSAGE AND SUDDENYL FELT MY URINE FLOW SORT OF OBSTRUCTED, IT FELT LIKE THE STONE WAS NOW IN MY PENIS AND WAS TOO BIG TO COME OUT. IT REALLY IRRITATED THE HELL OUT OF ME. IT ALSO BURNT AND I OCCASIONALLY FELT BAD PAIN. I CONTINUED THE DOSAGE AND ALSO CONTINUED TO HAVE ALMOST A GALLON OF WATER EVERY DAY. TWO DAYS AFTER MY LAST DOSAGE, I PASSED AN ALMOST 1 CM STONE IN MY EARLY MORNING URINE. I FELT MY PENIS HOLE STRETCH AND THERE IT WAS. I COULDN'T BELIEVE HE SIZE!! I BELIEVE THIS CONCOCTION WORKS BUT IT HAS TO BE AIDED BY PLENTY OF WATER, 1 GALLON AND ALSO A LITTLE RUNNING HELPS. I DEFINITELY GIVE IT A YEA BUT AS I SAID, AIDED BY WATER!!"

[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. :)"

I found the Earth Clinic website on Sunday. Tried the Lemon Juice and Olive Oil @ 10:AM and again around 1:00PM. Good News, 6:00PM, our pops the stone, very brown with rough edges, no pain, no blood, no hassle! Thanks Earth Clinic!"

[YEA]  05/27/2008: Alison from Windsor, CA writes: "On 5/26/08 I tried the Lemon Juice & Olive Oil Kidney Stone Remedy as a last resort and it actually worked! I was shocked. I drank the mix around 2:30pm and passed the stone at 9:32pm that same day. It did make me gag, but I was able to keep it down. My stone had been stuck in the urethra for just over 3 days and was 4mm."

[YEA]  05/09/2008: Sean from Glenrock, WY writes: "I have to say that I have always regarded any kind of home cure mumbo jumbo as garbage. But 12 hours into crying and throwing up trying to pass a stone opens ones mind to trying about anything. I did the lemon juice and olive oil and it worked 2oz of each. tasted nasty but did the job. I was amazed. This was my 13th round with stones and i wished id of found it sooner. This stone was 5mm."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  04/30/2008: Kim from Chicago Area, IL writes: "I have been a chronic stone sufferer since I was 19 years old. I am now 31. 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."

[YEA]  04/14/2008: Rey from Jacksonville, FL writes: "I was out of town in January and initially thoght I had a UTI due to the blood in my urine. But by the second sleepless night and increased pain in my lower back I realized I had a kidney stone. I'm not one for western medicine doctors since I learned through Wellness/Anti-Aging/Naturopathic practitioners how to get myself off of three blood pressure meds and glucophage (diabetes), I turned to the interent to solve my dilemna. The Kidney Stone Cocktail, 3 oz of olive oil & 3 oz of lemone juice worked after taking it twice within six hours, stone moved within two hours of taking the first cocktail but I took the second cocktail just for good measure. I passed three stones a week later. The Kidney Stone Cocktail chased with a large glass of water definitely works. Many thanks!"

I read about the above and decided at 2:00 am. I had nothing to loose. I mixed the two ingredients, drank it and followed with a large glass of water. I also added 24oz of Diet Caffeine free Coke. Read some more stuff and finally went to bed at 4:00 am. I decided I would go to to the emergency room at 5:00 if nothing changed. I fell asleep and woke up at 6:00 with the pain almost gone. By 8:00am the pain was gone. I will try a couple more doses today and hope I'm cured. Thanks."

His pain was immobilizing, he was panicking. I squeezed 1 lemon got 2oz juice, blended in 2oz olive oil with egg-whisk. Took maybe 10 stirs, just like making salad dressing. He downed it while our young son and I cheered him thru. Pain so bad, we decided to go to Emerg Rm. But, drank another lemon/oil/water before leaving. ER's CT Scan showed 2mm stone. He drove home 3 hours later, took another lemon/oil/water. Wow! ER pain pills were little help, but he drank mixture 2 more times, each drink one on return home from ER, last before bed, were 1 to 2 oz lemon with matching olive oil, followed by large glass water. Next day his appetite was near 0. So morning drink again, 4 hours later drank again. He stayed home from work, and with each pain-free elimination, felt better. On 3rd day (ER day, next day, now 3rd day), he drank morning + lunch drink with medium appetite, now adding 1 tsp honey with both drinks. In bathroom, despite pain worries, no pain, no clumps, just greyish fluid when using bathroom - _no pain_ ever with any bathroom uses. At day 5, was again eliminating pain-free, with some fine gritty/dusty specks in bowl. How could that be pain free? Hooray! Dr follow up exam was 3rd day, we told him and another doctor. Both said keep it up. My dr never heard of it, so he is a new believer. So many people have appreciated this info from us, from you. We KNOW you prevented a surgery!"

[YEA]  03/24/2008: Joe from Pensacola, Florida writes: "Thank you so much for this web site. I have had bouts with kidney stones for several years and do not think I ever passed one. Did the 2oz lemon juice and 2oz olive oil twice on day one and once second day. Did not notice any pain reduction but a lot of spasms in affected area. Going to the bathroom this evening and an alien shot out of my penis. My wife who is a health care professional said she had never seen a stone so big.Still having some twinges back there and wondering about multiple stones. Will continue to drink concoction for a couple of days and see what else flushes out."

[YEA]  03/20/2008: Erin from Harrison, Michigan writes: "Well...I started having UTI pain last Tuesday and it continued on and off until Friday. By Friday it was bad, my whole right side hurt and low pain in my groin area, so I went to the ER. I didn't have any infection, but Cat scan results said I did have several kidney stones, so I got pain meds. and followed up with my family doc. on Monday. She referred me to a Urologist, and I got in with him on Tuesday. He discovered then from an X-ray that I had one larger (7mm) stone in my bladder. I had others in my kidneys, but was going to have to have surgery for the large one in the bladder, cuz it wasn't coming out. Yuck!! I didn't want surgery, but he scheduled it anyway, for the following Wednesday. He also gave me Flomax to take once a day to try to help it come out, but he was 50% sure I would be having the surgery. So I came home Tues. evening and took the pill, but I was still searching for a better resolution, and discover this site. So I mixed it up, 2oz fresh squeezed lemon juice and 2oz olive oil, mixed it up and drank it down. I must say, it didn't taste good, but I immediately drank water and ate a snack following the potion. I went to bed, got up on Wed., and nothing, so I did the mix again Wed. afternoon, I only did it once that day, I was going to do it twice, but never did, cuz I really didn't like the taste. Anyway, got up on Thursday (today), did some stuff and went to work out, got home and around 2pm today, went pee, and out it came!!! It really didn't even hurt, just a little twinge and there it was!! So during this whole time, I really never had any pain other than the day I went to ER (that was because it was making it's way to the bladder). I did feel it twinge here and there, but nothing major. I went to the doc this afternoon, got another X-ray, and it's gone!! I still have some in my kidney, but those are smaller and should be able to pass without problems. He also told me to try to drink at least one or two glasses of lemon with water everyday to prevent more from forming, according to him it won't dissolve them, but just help to prevent. So, I don't know, I did take that Flomax on Tues. and Wed., but I didn't today. So, I don't know if that helped too, but I'd say the potion worked for me!!! The surgery is cancelled!! Thanks so much!!!"

So to sum up, if I could pass a 6mm stone, stuck in the ureter for over 8 MONTHS, using the home remedies of Lemon Juice/Olive Oil, Coke/Asparagus, and 1 flomax each night, then there is hope for those in a similar situation. Oh, and drink water like it is going out of style, 10-15 full glasses per day. I was drinking after every pee, every meal, and practically every 30 mins. in between time. No little sips, full glasses of water each time. There was hope and in the end the home remedies worked. 3 days of Lemon/Olive, 1 day of Coke/Asparagus, followed by 2 days of Lemon/Olive worked for me. Thank you very much to EVERYONE that has posted on this "Earth Clinic" site, even the Nays, because in the end the great balanced opinions I got on this board told me that these were REAL people, and it came through for me in the end. Now I have to call and cancel my SURGERY....no 2-foot telescope going up the winky on this guy!!!!!"

[YEA]  03/09/2008: Nick from Tacoma, WA writes: "I never post commentaries online, as I believe people's opinions can be biased and prediposed. However, I needed to post my experience using this kidney stone remedy, as within 9 hours of drinking the 2oz olive oil and 2 oz lemon juice mixture, my kidney stone passed!

A brief background on my experience with kidney stones: I had had one previously in 2005, a 4-5 mm renal stone. The experience was uncomfortale and, at times, painful. I initially thought I had appendicitis, as I experienced pain in my side like never before. I felt like I was going to pass out from the feeling. An Emergency Room visit confirmed the stone and, after two weeks of an uncomfortable and agonizing feeling of urinating, it spontaneously passed.

Fast forward two and a half years later when I had the same feeling two weeks ago. I wasn't sure it was a kidney stone until the incessant urge to urinate began a day later. This must be one of the most uncomfortable feelings ever! Not necessarily painful, however, it is extremely difficult to go to sleep and work, as you constantly find yourself in the bathroom trying to rid yourself of this excruciating sensation.

After two weeks, I was ready to try anything. The vicadin wasn't working as well as it did at the onset and I needed a solution. I googled kidney stone remedies and this site popped up. I was, of course, skeptical at first. However, after reading testimonial upon testimonial of people that the remedy had helped, I figured it couldn't hurt.

I simply mixed the 2oz of olive oil with 2oz of lemon juice. I gulped it down quickly and drank a full 8-12oz of water afterward. Just an hour or two before the stone passed, I could tell something was going on. My pain did escalate and I had to take a vicadin, as it was too severe to sit through. However, the pain mysteriously subsided before the pill could even take effect and a few hours later, the stone passed. Maybe this was the remedy taking full effect?

I'm going to a Urologist in a few weeks in hopes of finding preventative measures to never experience this again. However, if I am unfortunate enough to have another kidney stone, you will be certain I'll be trying this remedy before anything else!

Thanks earthclinic!!!!!"
