2oz. OLIVE OIL AND 2oz. LEMON JUICE REALLY WORKS!
It was nearly two years ago when I checked into the Emergency Room at 3:00am in excruciating pain. Unbeknownst to me, I was having my first encounter with a dreaded kidney stone and could only equate the pain to child birth. I had it pretty bad, bloody urine samples,sweating, and uncontollable vomiting, only to find out that the stone was impacted at the top of my bladder and would require surgery to remove it. After the doctor removed the stone a stent was inserted. Thank Heaven I was sedated for this.
A week later the doctor removed the stent in his office (no sedation)
BIG OUCH!! I nearly passed out from the pain. The doctor was very vague on what my diet should consist of. He just wanted to see me in 2weeks for aurine sample, then 3 months for a urine sample, then 6 months for a urine sample, yet he still didn't have any specifics. I started to feel like just a payday to him. Well, I swore I would do ANYTHING to prevent this from ever happening again, and if you ever had a stone, please understand you will be more prone to them than a person who has never had one.
Approximately one year later I recognized that all too familiar pain in my back. Without hesitation, I consumed the Olive Oil/Lemon Juice mixture and by the next morning I had noticeable gravel in my urine and best of all NO PAIN! Now I always keep fresh lemons on hand just in case and I'm left wondering what my outcome would have been two years ago had I known about this awesome remedy. Wishing you all Best of Health.

Olive oil and lemon for EVIL KIDNEY STONES. ok I'm sitting here waiting...... Just washed down my oil and lemon tiincture( makes it sound more palitable!) Had to go to hospital last 2 nights, just as the worst snow storm for the last 20 years hit London. I ventured out alone for pain relief in blizzards and freezing temperatures (which for us is rare!)
I am praying this works as I can't stand another sleepless night. Your yea comments are all so positive I'm feel'in the positive energy coming right at me.
Can someone tell me if its more common for the pain to be bad at night as that seems to be the case for me? Also I was told I had losts of small ones about 6mm - from reading this site that seems to be the average if not on the large side?
Just waiting for the plink of stone on porcelain! Watch this space... hopefully have news by morning!

I have had kidney stones (Calcium Oxalate) for 19 years. In Dec an 8 mm stone was basketed out of my right ureter. In Jan. A 7 mm basketed out of my left kidney. Niether one of these stones showed up on an x-ray or CT. (jUST REMEMBER , WHATEVER TEST YOU HAVE, IT IS ONLY AS RELIABLE AS THE RADIOLOGIST INTERPRETING THE TEST) Sometimes you just need to have the actual doctor review the x-ray.The suffering has been awful. Best advise..... 5 and 6 mm stones will be hard if not impossible to pass on your own. Use whatever method you can to keep stones at 2mm-3mm. The larger stones will just get stuck in your ureter if they get out of your kidney. I am now on the lemon juice and olive oil plan. I have also had good luck with a liquid eyedropper style bottle of Phosfood. Best of luck to anyone suffering with these little beasts tormenting our kidneys. Diane

Hello Diane, They should have had those stones analyzed, so have they told you what they were composed of? I know that uric acid stones are at least one that doesn't show up on xrays!"

A couple days ago I tried the lemon juice and olive oil cure. Initially I was skeptical... and my mom the nurse told me that all of these little home fixer-uper's don't do the trick. We I gave it a shot... I mean why the heck not. The day after taking a nice half glass of olive oil and a chaser of lemon juice I felt pretty rotten... but I could feel it move. No not that... the kidney stone! I did have a belly ache from hell for that day.... but there was motion in the ocean. Today i'm glad to say that i've given birth to a nice little stone. Not sure what to name the little guy yet... I am however taking suggestions. Thanks earth clinic... you've been a great help! marcus

I have tried the lemon and olive oil cure for kidney stones (2oz lemon juice with 2oz olive oil, followed by large glass of water). The night before I tried the cure I was feeling very uncomfortable (aching kidney, nausea, constant need to go to the washroom and stress as I was sure that I would spend the next day at the hospital). I decided to try the cure first. I felt almost immediate relief. My kidney had been mildly aching for 5 days and it stopped. I haven't had any pain since!!
It doesn't taste bad at all. I felt so much better that I have taken a few extra doses to make sure everything is all cleared up. I am so thrilled to have found this site. Thank you!

just to give feedback that a month dosage of 4tbsp each for olive oil and lemon juice really works. I also tried drinking 10-14glasses of water daily. I also took fresh coconut milk for a month. kidney stone were dissolved!!

I recently tried the olive oil and lemon juice remedy for kidney stones and it worked for me. I was diagnosed with a 5-6mm stone three weeks ago. I was told that it was too big to pass and that I should have surgery to have a stint put in. I am currently pregnant which limited my options of removal. I opted to cancel the surgery since I was in no pain and try a more natural method. For the first two weeks I drank the 2 oz. olive oil and 2 oz. lemon juice 3 times a day along with a lot of distilled water. I also tried the asparagus mixed with the olive oil and lemon juice and the 4 oz. apple cider vinegar remedy. I only continued with the 2 oz. lemon juice and 2 oz. olive oil for the entire time though. The last week I just drank the 2 oz. of lemon juice and 2 oz. of olive oil at night followed by a large glass of warm water. Finally three weeks later I passed the stone pain free, 2mm smaller (and rounded) than what the doctor had told me it was going to be.

I'm trying the 2 oz lemon juice and 2 oz olive oil suggestion from this site. I'm just curious what function the olive oil serves other than to just taste really bad. Also how many times would you do this and at what interval? Thanks for any suggestions.

I drink fresh squeezed lemon juice every day, in addition I cook with massive amounts of lemon and olive oil, I supplement acv daily and viola, I presently have 3 stones. There is certainly not any truth to this, or I would not have them.

I occasionally see people state here that a remedy isn't 'real' or 'true' when it's obviously worked for others. When you say "There is certainly not any truth to this", you're basically calling those others liars; at the least it's a presumptuous statement. I haven't had a need to use this particular remedy myself but I would ask if you have actually ever taken it AS RECOMMENDED, i.e. taken together and not simply ingesting the olive oil part by way of cooking with it. And what is the rest of your diet like and your overall health? These too are contributing factors.
Different things will work (or not) for different people, for many reasons. If you're going to try a remedy, at least give it a fair shake by trying it in the manner recommended by those who have had success with it before dismissing it as not right for you. It's great to get feedback where something DIDN'T work for someone as well as when it did; this gives us all a better idea of what we may want to try ourselves. But remember that just because something didn't work for YOU does not mean it isn't 'real' or 'true' for others.

Hello Eva, You say you are drinking fresh squeezed lemon juice and cooking with massive doses of olive oil, but have you tried taking the olive oil with the lemon juice as the people said got rid of their stones? Don't knock it until you have, because cooking anything sort of changes the chemical composition of whatever is cooked. Why don't you try it the way they said it worked, before you say it can't be true?
We will await your report on the results of your honest test of the remedy.

Or, it may be that your stones are not made of Calcium Oxalate?!

This is to Eva in Chatanooga - There are three kinds of kidney stones. I have the second most common kind of stones. The lemon and olive oil didn't work for me. Perhaps the olive oil and lemon juice only work on the most common kind. If anyone out there knows of a treatment for other kinds of stones, please let me know.

I have been suffering from ureteric stones for last 20 years. I had to undergo open surgery in 1995, since dormia basketing failed to 'grab' the stone during the procedure (left ureter). In 2006, I again suffered from uretric stone (left ureter), which, however, passed out by itself after some pain. In November 2008, I underwent dormia basketing again, to extract a 9 mm stone from my right ureter. Just as I am recovering now (December 2008), I am feeling some pain in my left flank. I am afraid of undergoing another hospitalization. I am contemplating the olive oil lemon juice self medication. What does oz stand for? Ounce? Can somebody please give me the exact composition of the concoction in ml? How much ml of lemon juice and how much ml of olive oil? Should the dose be repeated or taken once? Empty stomach? When should it be taken? Please do give details. All help will be highly appreciated. My stone extracted in November 2008 was analysed as mixed calcium oxalate + urate composition. Please help.

Olive oil and lemon juice mix. I read this board several times and have decided to try it. A few years ago, I was in a car accident and had some pretty nasty lower back pains. While I don't think the two we're related...the x-rays showed I had a pretty good sized stone(I think it was 8mm) I had lithotripsy done and never really felt 100%. On and off through the years... I'd get pain. Earlier this year, I could not believe the pain I had. I left my job and drove myself to the E.R. Sure enough, I had blood in my urine and a stone was trying to pass. Hard to believe in three years time a 7mm stone re-formed. Needless to say, in the following days, I drank water and even tried cranberry juice like mad. A few days went by(The Dr prescribed flo-max and I stayed home for a few days) and sure enough, I passed a stone while on the job pain free. It's now December and I've had a few pain free passings of these little buggers. Up until this morning. I think one is trying to get out, so I re-freshed this board, mixed up some olive oil and lemon juice (God that stuff tastes awful!) and downed it. Followed by three glasses of water. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it passes pain free. Thanks for sharing the info on this site!

Kideny stones/kidney debris.
The lemon juice (2 oz), olive oil (2 Tbsp,) and Stone Free from Planetary Herbals, Michael Tierra (5 the first 3 days, 4 times a day; now 3 tablets 3 times a day with the lemon juice and oil) has changed my life. The back pain I had put off to my scoliosis, and the groin pain from sitting for college classes, however, when they both came on together and persisted for 6 weeks my daily life became really overwhelming. I got relief from both within 36 hours from the above combination. Now, 2 weeks later I get twinges in my back and groin but water keeps the above combination keeps pain from returning. However, in continuing with the lemon juice, olive oil, Stone free, physical activity and hot baths I realize had this condition for a long time. I think I have had blockage in my bladder (the groin pain) from having a seven year bout with food poisoning and just plain lowered functioning kidneys from my scoliosis. These last two weeks have removed the acute pain and although I still have a dull ache especially in the morning, I am going to keep this in my daily/weekly regime. I am sleeping better and am way more relaxed. Thank you for your web site as I had spent several hundred dollars with X-rays (that showed nothing), body work, PT, and even seeing an orthopedic surgeon. I love natural healing.

I have no experience with Kidney pain except for the last four weeks. I have had pain in my middle left back for weeks and was growing very concerned. In surfing the web, I found this sight and read about the Olive Oil and Lemon Juice remeday. Bottom line, my pain is GONE. I took two ounces of fresh lemon juice and two ounces of raw olive oil twice a day. One in the AM and one in the PM. Day one I feld absolutely no relief. Day two, no realief what so ever. Day three, I woke up and was very amazed that I had no pain. I drank my "cocktail" and got on with my day. No pain all day. WOW. So here I am in day four feeling great with no pain at all. I so very happy I found this sight and I have very little doubt that this remeday worked for me.

I have had kidney stones 2 times before, and when i started feeling the symptoms again, I knew I was in for it. To cut a long story short, after being hospitalized and having a CT scan, they found a 2mm stone. Doctors said that it will pass naturally and theres nothing natural or medical that they can do. So I went home in great discomfort with a prescription for pain relief and went searching for natural remedies on the net and came across the olive oil and lemon treatment (about 3oz of each). I was a bit skeptical, but I mixed the two ingredients, swallowed it followedd by a large glass of purified water and within 4 hours,I passed the stone through painlessly (although I couldnt see it in the toilet bowl, I knew it had passed), and my aches and pains have gone (although I seem to be sleeping alot). My stools are a little soft, but I took another dose this morning just to be sure theres nothing left in my kidneys, and will probably take it every 6 months or so, just to keep on top of it. Cant believe Doctors cant recommend this treatment. Thank you.

Since 2001 I have had three surgeries for removal of kidney stones to large to pass. Two years ago, I stumbled across this web site and tried the Lemon Juice & Olive Oil remedy. I still get some stones almost every other month, but with this remedy I pass them without any pain or discomfort. At the first of each month I drink the four ounces of mixture four times a day for three days. This routine, for me, flushes all the stones out. This past month I passed two stones each almost 2.3 mm. with absolutely no pain or discomfort.
