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.

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!

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!!

When you feel like the stone is in your penis it actually is not! It is at the entrance of the bladder. Here it occasionally creates sharp pain, especially when your colon or rectum fills. Remember Porthos in The Three Musketeers - "Kidney stones. It hurts when I piss. It hurts when I sh*t". And you also might experience constant urge to urinate. It can be here for several days. I even had one at that particular spot for a whole month because it was the first and my doctor didn't diagnose it well and didn't tell me that I had to drink a lot of water to pass the possible stone. In the past I had several stones, the largest of them was about 7 mm. In all cases the entrance into the bladder was always the hardest place to pass it for me (I guess it is the narrowest). I usually feel immediate relief when the stone goes into the bladder. Moreover then I also know that there is only one step for it before I will get rid of it. For all bigger stones (3 mm and larger) that finally went into the bladder I had to relieve my bladder at least twice to get them through the penis. At the first relieve it would usually got stuck somewhere (perhaps because of the prostate) and from that moment you cannot sit anymore because you will feel sharp pain if you try. So I walk and wait for bladder to fill up and then on the second relieve the stone finally goes all the way through the penis. Yeah, this is definitely sharp pain, and once you felt that then you can compare and unmistakably know when it is in the penis and when it is only at the bladder entrance trying to get in. Until now I usually would drink 3-5 liters of rose hip tea daily, especially when the stone is at the bladder entrance. In my opinion rose hip is also great for reducing the urinal infection which almost always accompanies the stones. However, at the moment I have one particularly difficult stone stuck at the entrance of the bladder for last 4 or 5 days so I decided to try the olive oil lemon juice remedy. Hopefully it will help it to get into the bladder. Or even better dissolve, as many of people have said here...

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

My aunt told me to check out this site for the kidney stone recipe. After 3 months of battling a stuck kidney stone, the urologist decided to do a lithoscopy. About a week before the procedure I drank the 3oz lemon juice/3 oz olive oil mixture- 2 days in a row. The second day I felt some cramping and had some bloody urine, but did not feel the kidney stone pass. I continued to drink fresh lemon juice for a few days. I went to have the procedure a few days later and the Dr did not do the lithoscopy as there did not appear to be a kidney stone. He scoped up into the kidney and injected dye- NO kidney stone. I wish I had done this sooner. I am convinced it really works!!! Thank you!

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!

2 oz Olive Oil, 2 Oz of Lemon Juice:
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.

Husband collapsed working on property roof--back pain, right away we found your equal parts lemon juice + olive oil with water-chaser. 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!

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.
