I had an ultrasound done about a month ago, that showed a kidney stone in each kidney, around 4mm. They were not causing any pain. I then went home to research kidney stones as i didn't know much about them, and found myself terrified to find that they are associated with horrible pain, worse than childbirth!

I came across this website and decided to give it a try. What I did was squeeze some fresh lemon juice (approx. 8 ounces) and i drank it over about an hours time. I also had a couple spoonfuls of Olive Oil with my dinner. I drank about 1 liter of water in the couple hours following this.

Felt nothing at first, then about 4 hours later got bad stomach cramping and had diarrhea. Was also nauseous. Cramping remained for about an hour. Then had urge to pee and went. Didn't see anything.

No idea if this did anything for my stones...but i guess it didn't agree with my body lol. Will update to say if it worked or not!

My wife had 2 very bad kidney stone attacks,both times landing in hospital.Tried to find something on the net and landed here. After reading the proposed cures I decided to get her to try olive oil and lemon, as it was the treatment that had the most positive answers. I mixed her same parts olive oil, any brand, and lemon, just following the general instructions. Lots of water after the drink.

The results were amazing,she passed a gelatinlike thing which we suppose was the stone and got instant relief.

After 5 days she started to look green when she saw the olive oil, but kept taking it 2x a week for a month. We have no proper way of thanking all of you, the result was a resounding succes. Thanks

Lemon Juice and Olive Oil worked

I noticed that I was getting lower back pain for no reason, and it kept getting worse. I was having problems getting to sleep because of the terrible pain. I thought that it could be kidney stones, so I went to your site to see if there was a treatment. I gave it a try and was delighted when the pain subsided. I'm still drinking the Lemon juice/olive oil, and everyday I'm feeling better. Thank you for this wonderful site.

hey i just found this website and i want people to know that this has been more helpful to me than anything or anybody else i have contacted about kidney stones. i have had stones since 2005 and i am suffering from the pain as i type. i'm sitting on a heating pad. its helping a little, but after reading all the info you can bet your bottom dollar when i get off work today i will be stopping by the store to get me some oliver oil and lemon juice and giving it a try. it sounds like to me it is going to work. other sites also have suggested 3 to 4 apples a day for a week and then the lemon juice and olive oil for 2 days after to clean the system completely out. i dont know i'm willing to try anything. i do not wish kidney stones on my worst enemy. i have more respect for him than that. i was raised by a drill sergeant and was raised to show no pain or emotion. but the first time i passed a kidney stone i cried like a baby because i have never expericened that kinda pain. but now i know the pain when it comes on. but i will try the lemon juice and olive oil and keep the forum informed on how it works. thanks for all the input that everybody has done. its helped me alot. peace and may god be with us all.. brandon

Another satisfied customer here, 50 y.o. male. I woke up yesterday morning with excruciating pain centered on the lower right flank of my back. I was also not able to urinate as I normally would and the pressure kept building up. After googling a few pages I was able to find the Earth Clinic site and with over two hundred Yeas for the Olive Oil & Lemon Juice treatment I decided to give it a try. I mixed Two Ounces of Extra Virgin Oil with Two Ounces of store brand Lemon Juice concentrate which I was able to keep down. I also took two over the counter Naproxen Sodium pain killers and drank two eight ounce glasses of water.

Within a half of and hour the pain had subsided somewhat although I still couldn't urinate. Throughout the course of the day I took several Hot showers focusing the hot water on my right rear flank. Additionally, I would jump up and down and shake it all about vigorously to dislodge the stone which eventually allowed me to urinate a bit. As the day progressed I would continue to drink more water (some with Lemon Juice added) with the result being that the pressure would build up, the pain would increase and I would return to the hot shower and jump about until I was able to relive myself.

At about 6 PM I drank another 2 Ounces of Olive Oil and 2 ounces of Lemon juice as I was convinced the treatment was working. Approximately a half hour later I threw up. By 8 PM my ability to urinate (almost normally) returned to my great relief and the pain had virtually disappeared. At bedtime I took another two OTC Naproxen Sodium pills just to be sure and over the course of the night I woke up several times to urinate, each time more freely than the last. I woke up this morning pain free and have taken one more shot of the Olive Oil/Lemon Juice mixture just to make sure I'm all cleared out.

This treatment absolutely worked for me and I am very thankful to have found out about it. THANK YOU!!

I used to get kidney stones all the time but by age 50 I was tired of going to hospital being sent home medicated for pain and paying a small fortune for the "treatment". then I learned about squeezing 4 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and mixing it with an equal amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This is to be swallowed all at once and followed by a large glass of water. Usually within 24 hours, the stones will come out on their own while urinating, sometimes broken down into a little pile of what looks like sand. Take this concoction at the first signs of (what is for many of us) the all too familiar lower back pain.

I took the Olive Oil/Lemon Juice treatment for my kidney stone. I wish that I could say that it has given me any degree of relief at all. It has not. I tried it for 3 days hoping for any diminishment in the pain as an indicator that it was starting to work. I blended 2 ozs of each three times a day. Easy to do. Fairly easy to swallow. Certainly cheap enough. But there was not a drop in pain at all. Maybe the size of my stone(1.5 cms) was also factor in the failure of this remedy. I don't think that I saw a single stone that was as large. Still after 3 days you would think that there would be something of a change after all the positive testimonials that I read last week. I have ordered an online product as a last ditch remedy before I submit to ESWL.

i had a UTI about a month ago and took antibiotics for it. the discomfort went away after a few days. about four days later i began to feel discomfort in my lower right abdomen. i have no health insurance so i did some reading online and came to the conclusion that i developed a kidney infection due to the UTI not clearing up completely. i began taking antibiotics for this and it seemed to start to clear up. then last night i began to get short, stabbing pains in the upper right area of my groin. i did more reading and learned that this may be a sign that a kidney stone could be working its way down the urethra. that the sharp pain was the urethra pulsating as the stone moved down...causing the sharp pains. the pains happened about every three to five minutes and didnt last more than a few seconds. i did the "jump and bump" method to try and help it move along. after almost an hour the pains stopped..so im guessing the stone is in the bladder now.

my question is..can this really be a kidney stone since i've had no other sympton such as pain in the back or chills or other symptoms associated with kidney stone passing? since im not even sure if this is a stone or not..i'm having doubts about getting started on the lemon and olive oil method.

one thing i've noticed is that almost everyone here were already in pain when they turned to the lemon and olive oil method. has anyone started using this before any pain set in? if so were you able to pass the stone without any pain at all?

if i do have stones they are more than likely struvite stones since all this happened soon after i had a UTI. will the lemon and olive oil method work on these?

Your story mimics absolutely mimics mine. Had all the typical UTI symptoms. Doctor diagnosed an infection in office but days later, called that the lab found blood in urine with no bacteria. I was advised to see a gyno. No problem there. Problem solved a week later.....kidney stones.

Hello, I see you have multiple yeas; don't know if you even need another, but here goes. My husband was in severe pain (flank pain) I had him try olive oil/lemon juice two tablespoons each, followed by glass of water. Well, thirty minutes later he vomited, and I was the bad guy for sure...then pain went completely away..he passed a stone w/in one day. I am an RN, and when I tried to tell one of my patients about this, I got a puzzled/smirky look from the Dr. that was listening, but I believe in it!

Thanks, Melinda

Just wanted to thank all with there stories of olive oil and lemon juice. I had a 5mm stone x-rayed and found lodged in my ureter on friday afternoon, Doc said it would not pass, so a removal procedure was set up for early monday morning. I found this site at about 10:00pm sunday night (2 hours before my food and drink cut-off of 12:00am). I drank 8oz. of lemon juice and two spoonfuls of canola oil (no olive in house). Pain was almost instantly gone. When I woke up next morning to go to removal procedure a little pain was felt and when Doc talked to me after procedure he couldn't understand where the stone went! I found this site a little late but foward this to friends. thankyou all..

I tried the Olive oil Lemon Juice mix yesterday before going to bed. It WAS hard to get down, I had to chase it with a little food each swallow. I felt yucky, so I went on to bed. When I woke the pain had dulled WAY down!!! It was like I was myself again!!! I am a mother of 3 small children, and am also 7 mths pregnant, so the pain being dulled was huge for me! A BIG FAT YEA from me!!! I advice anyone to try this nasty mix! IT WORKS!!!!!!! I tried it again tonight, but the smell of the oil made me vomit it back up with my first swallow. Be sure and chase it down with some solid food, and at least 3 8oz glasses of water if your trying this. But WOW was it ever worth it!!!!! TY to everyone who posted this remedy!!!!! GOD BLESS!!!

A huge "YEA" to this remedy,

2 oz olive oil and 2 oz. lemon juice for Kidney Stones/Pain.

If you are reading this try it, it works like a charm.

I had kidney pain/stones and in severe pain for 3 weeks and was desperate, severe pain for three weeks.

Although I completely doubted what the simple and safe olive oil and lemon juice mix could possibly have to do with your kidneys, with the many positive ratings I decided to try it.

I drank about 1.5 oz. olive oil and 2 oz. of fresh lemon juice mixed, very important to "mix" so it wont taste too bad.

Results: I felt a little nausea about an hour later.

Then a strange creepy feeling in my gut about 3 hrs later, it felt like "Alien" in my kidneys, I even felt something moving in my good kidney on the other side.

Then I had strange repeated urges to piss.

I didn't piss a stone that I know of, but my chronic 3 weeks of severe kidney pain disappeared ! I could barely get out of bed the day before, and the next mourning was pain free !

Since I took only one dose and had "miraculous" results, I will definitely repeat in a day or two to finish the job.

If you have pain anywhere near Kidneys, TRY THIS FIRST.

It WORKS MAGIC ON KIDNEY STONES !!!

It is basically salad dressing, how it has such an effect on your kidneys I don't know, but trust me it works !

Beats the heck out of paying the ER for painkillers and a surgery!

Does anyone have an experience with a larger than average stone? Mine is 2.5cm X 1.5cm. I'm afraid of passing massive chunks if these remedies work!

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

How many times should I take the lemon juice and EVOO for the kidney stone issue?

Been taking the EVOO and the lemon juice (2 oz of each mixed together). How many times per day seemed to work for people? My stone was a left renal stone lodged way up in kidney. Was scheduled to have surgery last thursday, however, got really sick so couldn't do the surgery. Would much rather pass it on my own. I took the concoction Saturday (morning and night) then Sunday (morning and night) and Monday three times and Tuesday Morning only. I have small bits of gravel (very very tiny) coming out in strainer, and on Monday the pain was severe. Haven't had pain up until this point, so maybe the stone is rollin on down and out? Any advice how long I need to take it? Supposedly I have at least a 7MM stone. Doctor resisted my theory it was stone (I only had bleeding when I exercised, no pain until this past Monday), and sent me for all kinds of cancer tests. As LAST RESORT, he sent me for CT scan and was surprised to find kidney stone. Please advise how long I need to take the stuff. It's been cleaning out I think my gallbladder too, so for the last two days been in bed and bathroom only. Kind of frustrating when one works for a living.

So far so good... I've been struggling with a stone for the past two days now. Didn't want to admit it at first, too many bad memories of my agonizing trip to the ER 4 years ago. Soon though, the pain in my groin was accompanied by that familiar ache in my lower back...Panic set in. Dug around on the web for an hour or so before I found this site, (kept seeing sites that were CHARGING $$$ to give up their great kidney stone home remedies) and began to get discouraged, thinking I was in for another trip to the ER WITHOUT health insurance.

This afternoon, before I even found this site I picked up a nice filet of Sole for dinner and ended up buying 7 lemons to cook it with! I had read about asparagus as a natural diuretic and also bought some rather dubious looking "kidney health" pills. Anyway, cooked the sole with lemon, white wine, shallots and butter, and ate a whole bunch of asparagus. Didn't help much, but then again I wasn't expecting miracles. Then, found thid site and decided I may as well cut up the remaining 4 lemons and drink it down with some EVOO. NASTY to drink, actually gagged a bit on the EVOO, (didn't really measure, just dumped in a shot glass or so)...laid down and tried to read, felt a little bit of stirring in kidneys groin...about 30 minutes later had a massive pee, and no pain at all!

30 hour after that pee I feel like I have to go again, and sitting here typing, I am having a bit of discomfort in my right marble.(sorry :) And the "I have to pee but nothing will come out" feeling is back. :( Guess I need another dose.
