I had a 5 mm kidney stone for over 5 years. I took 2 oz lemon juice + 2 oz olive oil one time in the morning and one time at evening for two days. - I felt pain for a couple days enough to go at the hospital and the tests showed that the kidney stone is gone.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Yeah Forest, Twenty years ago I was scheduled for a kidney stone op. Luckily a friend handed me a little booklet by a doctor who claimed he cured hundreds of patiants with this remedy. My doctor laughed until I through a baggy' worth of stones on his desk. I wish I had a photo of his face. I took a pint of olive oil and about six lemons. Every fifteen minute I downed three tablespoons oil and one of the lemon until it was all gone. Mind you, this is not an easy assaignment but I did it. Went to bed after about four hours, woke up and just made it to the bowl. There they were all floating, blueish and white quartz like substance. I was cured. No more pain and today.....no symptoms.
But for anyone brave enough or like myself at the time, desperate, it's nasty. Good luck.

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 !

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!

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!

Hi PB, did it occur to you that the bloated feeling in what you thought was your gallbladder area might have been that your lemon juice/olive oil might have been moving some gallstones also? Now that you are rid of the kidney stone, you might get some Beelith tablets or B6 and magnesium to take to prevent them. Vitamin C is also said to help keep those stones moving and probably help to keep them from forming.

Just an update from me, PB - the stones have not returned. I started taking B6 right away, but it caused a widespread and scary breakout on my back. I discontinued the B6 after just 3 days. The breakout cleared up after a week.
I have been following advice I have read here and there on the internet. I am limiting my intake of beverages such as green tea, soy milk and soda pop because they contain one of the chemicals which cause the stones. These sources also say that it is better to get your calcium intake from dietary sources rather than supplements, so I am trying to incorporate more dairy as well. So far, so good.

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!

Hi, Daniel. Great news, thank you for sharing. I would love to know how you feel in a few weeks as far as your b/p & mental balance. Also, do you plan to do this remedy every month? Please keep us updated!

Hey Daniel, I had a bipolar girlfriend. In doing Internet research I found a natural supplement company out of Canada called "True Hope." Though Julie never tried it (in denial about her bipolarity), I heard some good things about it. I remember that it was a lot cheaper than lithium or other less-natural symptom suppressors. Since you're on an all-natural kick, this might be something you might be interested in.

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.

Hello Albert, welcome to the wiser and healthier. You might want to inquire if your pharmacist stocks Beelith tablets or can order them for you. You also might check a health food place for them also. Beelith tabs are a combination of B6 and magnesium oxide which keeps stones from forming. No prescription needed but I don't think you'll find them out on the shelf. Also vitamin C helps keep these stones moving.

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.

I would like to see the photos of what you passed. Why not post them up on youtube with the remedy you used. That would be so helpful for those skeptics out there.

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.

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.

Hi Mack, and welcome to the world of western world of medicine which has the reputation of being the most expensive, but often less effective record on Planet Earth! You just came face-to-face with the reality that the doctor is going to recommend what pays him the most money. Start spreading the word and he won't like you for causing his income to drop drastically. You might also want to ask your pharmacist about Beelith tablets (a combination of magnesium oxide and vitamin B6) which is nonprescription, but I have never seen them sitting out on the counter. They are said to decrease formation of kidney stones. Of course you might find it cheaper to just get a 2 lb. box of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) at the Dollar tree and a 50 - l00mgm. Vit.B6 tablets. If so take about l/2 tsp. of Epsom salts and l B6 tablet twice a day. You could increase the Epsom salts as it will let you know when you take more than necessary by increasing bowel movements. I also suggest you decrease carbonated beverages and increase your water intake to improve both your stone formations and constipation problems. You probably should work on increasing the fiber intake also - lst big change would be to go from bleached flour products to all whole grain cereals and breads. Also increasing the leafy greens you eat will add lots of fiber.

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 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!
