Lemon Juice and Olive Oil

Lemon juice and olive oil flushed out my 8mm. stone after weeks of constant pain. I was slightly skeptical but had nothing to lose. So I tried it following an ultrasound which determined the kidney stone was stuck at the bottom of my ureter. I squeezed 5 lemons mixed with 3 tbsps. of olive in around a quart of water. I drank half that evening and the other half the next day. The stone flushed out the second day-I was stunned at how quickly the remedy worked. All the pain is gone and I won't be needing surgery.

I had a Stone start giving me excruciating pain this week. Although skeptical, I used "THE RECIPE" submitted by Rose of Wyoming and Cindi from North Carolina. (Olive Oil, Lemon Juice and water)I downed my first glass at 3 P.M. Thursday afternoon and by 9 A.M. Friday morning 18 hrs later the stone was passed thanks to your sharing of the info. It may not work for everyone but "The Recepie gets 100% in my book. Have a great day.

re: Xtra Virgin Olive Oil and Lemon Juice:This worked for my large, stuck stone. This is a Yea for me. And delightfully so. I was in the hospital four times in 2004 and had three procedures; two lithotripsies and one Laser device with the basket retrieval method. As you can imagine, I have been terrified of a recurrence of that BS!!! So, I made sure to make a good multivitamin and drink very few sodas.
Early this past summer I had some pain that was very bothersome but not something I had to go to the hospital. Not to play down the pain, but in 2004 I would get to the point where I would vomit and dry heave to no end and would end up in the ER. Yes, the drug Delotid is frigging awesome baby!!! Man, that stuff sorta saved my life. Took all pain away. So, I have been trying to avoid that stuff again.
Anyway, I have had symptoms off and on, but I didn't see a doctor about them. You either need surgery or you don't, you know?? I never found the pain meds to be very useful for kidney stones. I mean all the way to oxycotin: not applicable to this kind of pain. Well, it got bad enough that I HAD to see someone. So I did. CT showed two stones: one in the upper right quadrant of the right kidney, and one stuck in the right ureter above the bladder. Since I had had symptoms for months, the urologist figured that this stuck stone had been causing all my problems. The one in the kidney was 5mm, and I never heard what size the one was in the ureter. I figure it was pretty big. They wanted me to have a doctor use a cytoscope to snatch it out. I found this out right before going to Los Angeles for a seminar. I began taking Flomax, and spent the night in LA not sleeping and vomiting again, so I said no more Flomax. Get home and find this website, and figure anything is preferable to what I knew I would be facing. So, Wednesday evening I took one dose of stuff: 2 ounces Olive Oil, and two ounces of fresh lemon juice. And wait.
Went to the movies Thanksgiving night. Went to the bathroom prior to the movie and it felt "weird". Really weird. I had to go after the movie, and I felt something happening, a very odd sensation, and out comes a frigging humongous stone. Good gawd!!! It was bigger around than a pea, and sort of longer too. BUT, although it felt odd, it really did not hurt. It went into the urinal and I couldn't snatch it out. If it was a toiled bowl, public or not, I would have reached in and got it. Sort of like a trophy, eh? I feel deprived.
Now I will use the lemon juice to try to dissolve the one in the kidney, and pray. Monday I will call the doctor's office and see how big that stone was. And my stones are always the calcium ones, the most common kind. I figure I will get the magnesium and zinc supplement and see about the baking soda too. Thanks for the information guys.

I've gone through the pain of kidney stones three times, twice followed by lithotrypsy. I promised myself that if it happened again I would do my best to stay away from the hospital. Not having health insurance this time sealed the deal. I felt symptoms at about 4pm. Drank water and fullness intensified. I added lemon. Then I read this site and used 2oz each of organic lemon juices (from a lemon) and olive oil. I walked around my apartment and jogged in place. Pain intensified and I felt a little nausea. Took Ibuprofen and almost immediately vomited. I felt better after that, continued sipping water and water with lemon. The stone passed at 9:30pm - a few minutes ago. It was about 7x2mm with lots of sandy bits. I don't know if there is anything behind it, but my urine is flowing normally, no blood, and no pain. On this Thanksgiving eve, I thank you all so much!

Okay 2 weeks ago tomorrow I woke up in the middle of the night to horrible pain in my left side, under my rib cage. I thought I was dying, only to be rushed by an ambulance to the ER. 4 hours and 8 thousand dollars later they determined I had a 5.7 MM Kidney stone that had left the kidney and was heading to the bladder. The pain for the next 3-4 days was horrible. But I got on this site and read about the Olive Oil/Lemmon Juice thing... So here is my story. For the past 3 years I have drank about a gallon of water per day. I don't drink carbonated drinks, but about 2 months ago I was hooked on RedBull. So I am not sure what caused it. To ease the initial pain I took lots of pain pills and motrin. At first there was lots of nausea and vomiting from the stone. After I got on this site and read I tried the olive oil and lemon juice. 2.oz of each... NOTHING... 24 hour later I did it again. ... then again and again. 4 times. Then I was advised to get in the bathtub and drink beer. So I tried that. NOTHING...So I started thinking about the lemmon juice and olive oil. I think that the cure only works after the stone has made it to the bladder.
Because Last NIGHT in my final desparation I drank 4 oz of Virgin Olive Oil and 4 oz of Ice cold Lemon mixed and this morning at 5:00 am it passed.
I honestly feel like a new person. The 4 prior olive oil and lemon juices did ease the pain, a bit, but I was drinking a gallon of water a day, a 1/2 gallon of Cranberry Juice and taking cranberry pills and AZO...the motrin and the pain pills~ but I think that the larger concaution of lemon juice and olive oil last night (followed by 2 bottles of water)pushed it from the Bladder out.
Once it was in the Bladder... like 4 days ago... I only felt like I had to pee all the time... there was no deadly pain like it was when it left the kidney initially.
Good LUCK!

Out of desperation I looked on the internet today to seek home remedies. I'm not a huge believer of these things but kidney stones make you try anything to get rid of them. I found this page at 9 am and tried the lemon and olive oil recipe. Then at 5pm I took another doze. I did feel the stone move down in my bladder as the pain gotten sharper. Arpund 10 pm the same day the stone came out. About 6 mm wide. Pretty big. This is only my experience and I wanted to share with others. I have been drinking cranberry juice the last 2 days and also taking flomax.Thanks to everyone who took their time to post on this page.

I have been pagued with kidney stones since the age of 17. I am now 43 and had to have a stone removed last week using a cystoscope. The stone was lodged about an inch from my bladder and would not pass. I went to my doctor and told him I was also having pain in the opposite kidney, but he said the CT was clear on the other side and that it could be "referred" pain. By the way, I have a great doctor and trust him completely. Yesterday I found this website and thought what the heck...it's all natural and can't hurt. Since I have not had any pain in the last couple of days and had one removed last week I thought I would try it and see how it tasted. The taste was horrible, but quickly went away and I thought if it worked it would be well worth it. This morning I went to the bathroom (no pain) and heard the familiar "clink" of a stone hitting the porcelian. I was amazed! I really didn't think I had another stone since the doctor said the left side was clear. This was a relatively small stone ( 1mm wide by 3 mm long....looked like a comet). Nevertheless, I am sold on the olive oil and lemon juice. Additionally, I did not follow the remedy with a lot of water, but rather some green tea...I've tried everything). I'm sold! I will drink it once a month or so from now on!

I am living in Japan and my company required me to get a physical. I arrived on Friday for the physical and part of it involved a kidney scan using ultrasonics. They told me they could see a 10mm kidney stone and said I should return Monday so a specialist could see it and (probably) schedule surgery! However, this proceedure, apparently, got the' stone moving because shortly after that I began to feel pain in my lower left back. The pain was pretty intense and many people were commenting how bad I looked. I found this website and treatment and was willing to try anything to stop the pain and prevent surgery. I tried the remedy at about 6:30 pm and layed down. At 7pm I called my friend and said if the pain didn't get better soon, I wanted to go to the hospital. I tried the remedy again after that and at about 9pm I rolled over to turn on a light...and had very reduced pain! I did the drink again and went to sleep at about 10:30. Saturday, the pain was very slight and I went about my daily tasks. I took the remedy three more times that day and twice on Sunday. When Monday rolled around and I went back to the hospital, I was whistling and snapping my fingers..the doctor said she had never seen a kidney stone patient do THAT before! I challenged her to find the stone, she couldn't. She said she KNEW I didn't pass it...so what happened? I told her of the remedy and asked her to try it on future patients. She said there were 3 others right outside and she would try it immediately! So this 'cure' is international now!!! Thank you!!!

Luckily I found your website and decided to try your oil and lemon formula. I took the first one at 8:00PM ,another one at 8:00AM next day and the third one at 1:00PM' .In between I took as much water as I can. The stone came out at 6:00PM. Thank you very much for sharing this live saving remedy.

I tried the Olive Oil + Lemon Juice treatment( well it was Calamansi juice as lemons are hard to find here). I had been suffering from a kidney stone for 3 days and found this treatment on the web. Took 2oz each at 7am and drank lots of water. Felt better but still didn't pass the stone. Later at 5pm took another dose with 3oz each this time. Within 15 mins I felt a prickle at the base of my penis and went to urinate. Bang! out shot both stones the longer was 1/2" long and the shorter one maybe 1/8" long. Boy do I feel better now and I didn't have to have ivasive surgery to get cured.

I am prone to getting kidney stones and get them about every 2 years. Recently I've gotten them again and of course anyone with stones knows, I would do anything to get rid of it without the surgery. I came across this web site and saw the remedy that calls for 2oz of lemon juice mixed with 2oz of extra virgin olive oil. So last night when I got home from work I mixed up this little witches brew and drank it. The time was 21:00. I went to bed about midnight. At around 07:00 i got up to go to the bathroom and BOOM it came shooting out. I couldn't believe it! The stone was about 1.5cm long and about .5cm wide. It hurt like hell but it sure beat another operation! Thank you for this remidy! (or witches brew!) hahaha

I took the "juice" today around 11am and again around 4pm. I could feel something moving all day in my kidney. Around 11pm tonight my pain was almost completly gone and I no longer had pain when i was urinating. My urine stream also seemed to be stronger. I've tried to strain my urine but I could not do this everytime i went to the bathroom, which is quite often. I think it may be gone. I'll let you know more.

Drink large glass of water before bed and when you get up. And lay on the opposite side of kidney pain when you sleep. Worked for my son in 24 hours, no pain when it passed.

Found recipe of 3 oz Extra virgin Olive Oil and 3 oz of lemon juice. My adult son started feeling the pain of his first kidney stone at 6AM and he got into doctor at 10:30, in extreme pain, got a shot in office, then a CT scan to confirm that is what is was. At home at 1PM he started the lemon juice and olive oil and in 24 hours it passed and he said it didn't hurt when it passed. I am guessing the lemon juice must have helped dissolve the edges perhaps. Directions we got was 3 X a day with the oil and lemon.
