I tried 3oz of Lemon Juice and 3oz Virgin Olive Oil to help pass my 5mm kidney stone. It stayed in me for 2 hours until I threw it all up. Not trying that again!

WOW! I used 3 oz of fresh lemon and 3 oz of EVOO and followed it with a quick 12 oz of water every hour. In 20 minutes the pain subsided. In 2 hours I could feel the stone moving down through my side without pain. Very strange feeling but not at all painful. Then in a total of 3 and a half hours total, I felt a strong urge to go and two huge stones came out one after the other. Also, I must have had a lot of fluid because I really kept going. Then I puked a couple of times from all that stuff but it was well worth it. I lost 4.5 pounds of fluid in those few hours. It is not the best thing to drink but when you guzzle it down it goes much better. I will never try anything else ever again and I tried everything. The doctor told me my stones were too big to pass, but either mine broke in two (there were lots of small particles as well) or I passed two or more. My stones were calcium.

EC: EVOO = Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Hi, for this recipe, is it necessary to use just lemons? Could limes be used as a substitute also?

I have been in pain for almost a month. The initial kidney stone problem led me to a the ER and I was given pain meds and a "good luck on passing it". The pain continued and I found this page. It is now a month later and I still have the stone (probably hung up on scar tissue from where I had a stone removed a few years ago by surgery)but I swear the lemon and olive oil helped the pain. Maybe it was in my head, I don't know but it helped the pain. Even though I may still have to have surgery this time, I will, the next time I get one, start lemon juice and olive oil right away. It also didn't taste as bad as the vinegar and water did either.

What has worked for me and many others for kidney stones is hydrangea root. I buy it in the capsule form. They have it at most health food stores. There are many articles on the internet about kidney stones and hydrangea root. It's an old Indian remedy. It works for gall stones too. I have personally used it as well as my husband after being diagnosed with kidney stones. The hydrangea root dissolves the stones within days. I now take a few capsules monthly just for maintenance.

I agree, Hydrangea is the way to go! I had 9 stones spotted by tests, so I always have a bottle on hand for when I first feel it.

I bought the first one in to my Dr's office, a 6mm stone, and everyone wanted to know how I passed it with little pain! I told them Hydrangea and always little, or no pain! The stone seemed smooth, easier to pass, maybe the hydrangea?

I tried that stonebreaker liquid once with Hydragea, that stone came out falling apart, so I would suggest trying that combo with a larger stone. I also try to drink more then 100 oz of non caffeine liquid a day.

NAY, Olive Oil Lemon Juice. Unfortunately, this didn't work at all on my kidney (ureteral) stone, which was first discovered after an agonizing ER visit 3 months ago Stone 8mm was stuck just before the bladder which required Lithotripsy. I was very anxious about the procedure, but it was actually a walk in the park. They put me to sleep for 45 minutes, pulverized the stone and woke me up. No pain or awareness that I even had a procedure. First urine after procedure was very bloody which is mentally difficult. I was in and out of the outpatient in just' a few hours and am glad to be home.

I had a crppling pain from my kidney to my groin about two weeks ago, later that night my wife rushed me to hospital,after a xray that night they found a whopping large stone about 12mm wide, the doc gave me some pain killers and sent me home to await a hospital appointment for another' xray and scan, not bieing able to put up with the pain much more and the pain killers not working (i also have a massive phobia about hospitals and definatley operations) i decided to look on the net for natual remadies, i found this site then gave the drink a try, first time was nastie, but it did seam to ease the pain, the next day you get a little more used to the drink and the stone was still there so i upped the doseage to 3 oz, boy did i know about it, it rumbled through my stomach untill it hit the pan at hiper speed, but this time it had no effect on the kidney stone, i tried this drink four more times, but after this i just could not stomach the drink any more, i am not saying this method does not work, its just not for me, but, still with the thought of the hospital deep in my mind, i surfed through the net after other remadies, i found uriflow, i ordered a tube of tablets and they arrived five days later, after great hesiation i gave them a try, but only on half dossage, and whoopee, three days after haveing my first tablet, the little bugger shot out, pain gone, on tueday, i will go for the scan just to be sure there is no more stones left, but ill keep the dosage up untill then just in case,

relief from pain is a YA

disolving the stone is a MAYBE

Last night (1-23-04) was my second day of severe pain due to kidney stones. This is the first time I have had them and let me tell you...I am so happy that I found this lemon juice - extra virgin olive oil remedy. I am not sure if I have passed the big stone, but I have passed a lot of small crystal like stuff and the pain is gone completely at this point. I will update as the this evening and the next day goes by. Thank God for the person that figured this out.

I had kidney stones in 2002, the surgery was terrible and painful and I almost died from backup when the docotrs removed the stents too soon. The stones returned in June of 2007. The doctors give the run around while trying to get them removed, all the HMO crap with referrals and required tests. Anyway, last night at 9:15pm I drank the 2oz olive oil and 2 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice mixture followed by 12 ounces of water. At 7:15am I passed 4 stones. Meanwhile I felt a lot of pain and movement so I think there is more in there. As the day went on the pain subsided and the bleeding came to a stop. I think they are finally all gone. I am sore but probably in a few days I should be fine. I will now drink the mixture once a month since I am now a believer. It is easy to drink and it reminded me of something you would put on a salad. All in all, it sure beats the pain of the stones and the surgery that doctors perform. Pass the remedy to all and keep people from having surgery.

Having alot of bleeding and pain, no luck with the Doctors I decided to try the Lemon juice and Olive oil. The mix used was 3oz concentrated lemon juice and 3oz extra virgin olive oil. The bleeding stopped within 2 hours. The stone passed within 12 hours. The pain meds did cause constipation

re: positive results with lemon juice and olive oil. I consulted my uncle who has 48 patents in blood plasma research. He said it was a dietary issue, and advised me to see a doctor and told me of all the current medical remedies. He said the level of pain associated with stones is higher than that of child birth. His colleague in Europe was the first to bring Ultrasound to the US for use in breaking down the stones without invasive surgery. He also said the lab tests and MRI's would be costly. I currently do not have medical benifits. I highly recommend the lemon juice/olive oil method as a first treatment before seeking expensive medical treatment. Within 24 hours I notice no more bleeding and no more pain. I would like to thank all those who came before me for this simple and inexpensive treatment. I have also made the nesseccary adjustments to my diet, no more Jack Danial's whiskey.

I have a 2-3 mm stone that I have had for 5 weeks now. Popped it out of my left kidney in the ER on Dec 1st. I finally saw a urologist last week who wants to do surgery on Tuesday - Jan 8th. I have a CT Scan at the ER which showed a 3mm stone in my left ureter. I had a CT Scan - IVP on Dec 19th which showed the 2-3mm stone was now at the opening of my bladder but I just can't rid myself of this darn thing! I tried the lemon juice, oil mixture Friday night and all day Saturday. Today is Sunday 10am and NOTHING! NADA, still have this darn stone. I guess I will move on to try the coke/asparagus thing and then maybe celery seed tea...pray for me, wish me luck, I do not want surgery

While I use other remedies from this website with great success, I was very skeptical about the "lemon juice-olive oil" remedy for kidney stones. I'm no longer skeptical and here's why. After reading the "yeas and nays", I decieded to give the concoction a try even though at the time, I was not experiencing any pain whatsoever from the four stones inhabiting my kidneys. I drank the 2oz lemon juice + 2oz extra virgin olive oil on an empty stomach, the morning of December 30th. That evening after coming home from work and while sitting and relaxing, I felt a kidney stone pass into my bladder. No pain whatsoever. I went to the bathroom and passed the stone. Again, no pain or discomfort. I've since passed two more after using the "recipe". It worked for me. The recipe ingredients can do you no harm. There's nothing to lose by trying this, except the pain and the stones.

Thank you for this site; went looking online after I became aware I have stones lodged in both ureters at the entrance to bladder. Six years ago I had first stone, 6mm and had the "blasting" surgery which turned into a nightmare, the urologist tore me up and now I have an additional problem of lack of bladder control if bladder is full and I sneeze or laugh. While doing the procedure the urologist discovered my ureters are almost blocked, a congenital thing evidently I've had all my life. Anyway for six years I've kept myself free from stones with gravel root and hydrangea root twice daily at the first sign of stones. During religious fasts or when dieting on high protein, I've noticed I get burning pain between ureters and bladder entrance, and can feel large stones (probably 3-5mm) stones with my fingertips and would go heavy on the roots. After a lengthy fast two weeks ago, I got severe burning (I'm very blessed to have no pain with my stones, just mild to excessive discomfort). Found the coke/asparagus; olive oil/lemon; and celery seed holistic therapies online. Did the coke/asparagus thing mid last week with no seeming change in stones; did lemon/oil (2 x 2oz ea) on Monday; straight 10 oz, no oil yesterday (which made me ill) and since I still have burning and can feel the stones (though I do believe they are getting smaller) I am doing the celery seed (1Tablespoon celery seed in one pint water simmered; drink 1/2 c. per hour for 4 hrs). I'll give an update in a few days. As a side note a couple hints found in my reading over net, keep upright and moving to move the stones along. In using any of the therapies, hold your urine as long as you can so the ingredients can work on the stones. Also I think after (only AFTER) stones are passed or dissolved, doing a gallbladder/liver cleanse of stones (which evidently will be in the hundreds even thousands) is wise to do a couple times a year to keep the stones from entering the kidney. Dr. Hulda Clark's remedy is the one I am going to use. Find it online. For uric acid stones which I have, a diet free of all meats, poultry, even fish, dry peas and beans, chocolate, caffeines (no matter source), easy on eggs, corn and potatoes is wise. Find high uric acid foods online along with diet suggestions for those suffering with uric acid stones. I've been eating a diet free of all meats for just one week and my gouty toe is totally relieved, well at least 85% sometimes 100% of the time. Simply amazing and the urologist told me NONE of this. Thank God for people like you all who are gracious to give your testimonies and for the internet.

The mix of lemons and olive oil is definitely is an excellent way to dissolve the kidney stones, it works for me, after a week of intense pain, I when to 2 different hospitals ER and both told me that a had a 6mm kidney stone, they both did the same, they' did CT scans on me and after that they gave me a bunch of drugs to deal with my pain, that was all, after charging me with X amount of dollars they send me home with the same unbearable pain, they also told me to contact a urologist and I did , only to find out that in order for them to begin the treatment to dissolve the kidney stone they need it $100.00 just for the appointment and them approximately between $7.000 and $9.000 dollars to try to dissolve the stone, since I did not have insurance I started to look for answers on the internet and that was how I find out about this website. I tried the mix of lemons and olive oil in the morning, I drank 2 oz of lemons juice mixed with 2oz of Olive Oil at 10:30am, I waited and try again at 4:30pm the same day, the next day at 8:30am the stone was out of my body. I think you guys are doing an excellent public service providing this kind of information. Thanks so much ...

I'm usually the biggest skeptic when it comes to "home remedies" but as others have said I had nothing to lose by trying this one. I'm here to report that the 3oz cocktail of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and 3 oz of Lemon Juice resulted in two wonderful small presents delivered on Christmas day! Thanks to everyone for sharing this remedy!

Back in 1991 and living in Miami, Florida, I had the most excruciating pain caused by kidney stones and confirmed by medical examination. While the doctors monitored the movement of the stones and contemplated surgery I was keeling over from pain and sweating from d bad feelings. While they took their sweet time, I researched and found the remedy of 3 oz lemon juice, 3 oz virgin olive oil and the added magnesium supplement (a must) to dissolve the stones and then sleep on the right side. In 2 days the pain was gone - no surgery and no stone on the doctors imaging system. No more reoccourence of stones. Happy in New Jersey

[QUESTION] re: LEMON JUICE AND OLIVE OIL VITAMIN C -- The RDA for vitamin C in adults is 60 mg per day. Large doses of vitamin C are considered to be toxic in persons with a family history of or tendency to form kidney stones or gallbladder stones. Kidney and gallbladder stones usually consist of calcium oxalate. Oxalate occurs in high concentrations in foods such as cocoa, chocolate, rhubarb, and spinach. A fraction of the vitamin C in the body is normally broken down in the body to produce oxalate. A daily supplement of 3.0 grams of vitamin C has been found to double the level of oxalate that passes through the kidneys and is excreted into the urine. with this above, would it not add to your problems by drinking high vit c lime or lemon?

Not if you're only doing it for a few days, + citric acid is found in citric fruits (clue is in the name), and Vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Different animal.
