Out of desperation I looked on the internet today to seek home remedies. I'm not a huge believer of these things but kidney stones make you try anything to get rid of them. I found this page at 9 am and tried the lemon and olive oil recipe. Then at 5pm I took another doze. I did feel the stone move down in my bladder as the pain gotten sharper. Arpund 10 pm the same day the stone came out. About 6 mm wide. Pretty big. This is only my experience and I wanted to share with others. I have been drinking cranberry juice the last 2 days and also taking flomax.Thanks to everyone who took their time to post on this page.

I have been pagued with kidney stones since the age of 17. I am now 43 and had to have a stone removed last week using a cystoscope. The stone was lodged about an inch from my bladder and would not pass. I went to my doctor and told him I was also having pain in the opposite kidney, but he said the CT was clear on the other side and that it could be "referred" pain. By the way, I have a great doctor and trust him completely. Yesterday I found this website and thought what the heck...it's all natural and can't hurt. Since I have not had any pain in the last couple of days and had one removed last week I thought I would try it and see how it tasted. The taste was horrible, but quickly went away and I thought if it worked it would be well worth it. This morning I went to the bathroom (no pain) and heard the familiar "clink" of a stone hitting the porcelian. I was amazed! I really didn't think I had another stone since the doctor said the left side was clear. This was a relatively small stone ( 1mm wide by 3 mm long....looked like a comet). Nevertheless, I am sold on the olive oil and lemon juice. Additionally, I did not follow the remedy with a lot of water, but rather some green tea...I've tried everything). I'm sold! I will drink it once a month or so from now on!

To Terry from Sevierville Tn. All kidney stones don't show on Xray - I think one that doesn't, is uric acid stones. Did you know that there is a non-prescritption medicine for kidney stones - it's composed of magnesium oxide and vitamin B6 - called Beelith tablets. You'll have to ask the pharmacist for them be-cause I've never seen them out of the shelf in any pharmacy.

To Terry from Sevierville, Tn. (ll/08/07)' Oops - forgot to warn you to ride herd on your blood pressure if you are on meds to lower it because Beelith tables (l twice a day) will lower blood pressure also.

I am living in Japan and my company required me to get a physical. I arrived on Friday for the physical and part of it involved a kidney scan using ultrasonics. They told me they could see a 10mm kidney stone and said I should return Monday so a specialist could see it and (probably) schedule surgery! However, this proceedure, apparently, got the' stone moving because shortly after that I began to feel pain in my lower left back. The pain was pretty intense and many people were commenting how bad I looked. I found this website and treatment and was willing to try anything to stop the pain and prevent surgery. I tried the remedy at about 6:30 pm and layed down. At 7pm I called my friend and said if the pain didn't get better soon, I wanted to go to the hospital. I tried the remedy again after that and at about 9pm I rolled over to turn on a light...and had very reduced pain! I did the drink again and went to sleep at about 10:30. Saturday, the pain was very slight and I went about my daily tasks. I took the remedy three more times that day and twice on Sunday. When Monday rolled around and I went back to the hospital, I was whistling and snapping my fingers..the doctor said she had never seen a kidney stone patient do THAT before! I challenged her to find the stone, she couldn't. She said she KNEW I didn't pass it...so what happened? I told her of the remedy and asked her to try it on future patients. She said there were 3 others right outside and she would try it immediately! So this 'cure' is international now!!! Thank you!!!

I recently have a kidney stone about 4mm big. After 3 days suffering for it to come out,I can see that the stone was making a very slow progress. Luckily I found your website and decided to try your oil and lemon formula. I took the first one at 8:00PM ,another one at 8:00AM next day and the third one at 1:00PM' .In between I took as much water as I can. The stone came out at 6:00PM. Thank you very much for sharing this live saving remedy.

I tried the Olive Oil + Lemon Juice treatment( well it was Calamansi juice as lemons are hard to find here). I had been suffering from a kidney stone for 3 days and found this treatment on the web. Took 2oz each at 7am and drank lots of water. Felt better but still didn't pass the stone. Later at 5pm took another dose with 3oz each this time. Within 15 mins I felt a prickle at the base of my penis and went to urinate. Bang! out shot both stones the longer was 1/2" long and the shorter one maybe 1/8" long. Boy do I feel better now and I didn't have to have ivasive surgery to get cured.

I am prone to getting kidney stones and get them about every 2 years. Recently I've gotten them again and of course anyone with stones knows, I would do anything to get rid of it without the surgery. I came across this web site and saw the remedy that calls for 2oz of lemon juice mixed with 2oz of extra virgin olive oil. So last night when I got home from work I mixed up this little witches brew and drank it. The time was 21:00. I went to bed about midnight. At around 07:00 i got up to go to the bathroom and BOOM it came shooting out. I couldn't believe it! The stone was about 1.5cm long and about .5cm wide. It hurt like hell but it sure beat another operation! Thank you for this remidy! (or witches brew!) hahaha

I took the "juice" today around 11am and again around 4pm. I could feel something moving all day in my kidney. Around 11pm tonight my pain was almost completly gone and I no longer had pain when i was urinating. My urine stream also seemed to be stronger. I've tried to strain my urine but I could not do this everytime i went to the bathroom, which is quite often. I think it may be gone. I'll let you know more.

I produce stones at the speed of light. I probably have one several times a month. I am in hopes the lemon juice and olive oil works for me. One thing that may' be a problem with the nays is, their stone is too large to pass. Crossing my fingers on this one. Just mix.

My attack started about 5:30 am yesterday morning, I know this sounds crazy but I went for a jog hoping to help the stone pass. I have read somewhere that jump up and down and jogging will help the stone move through the Ureter and not only that the pain stops as well. Which it did for me, I don't know if that is true or not, but us "kidney stoners" will try anything to make the pain stop! However, once I got back from my jog and jumping up and down I was beat and I wanted to do nothing more than to lie down and go back to sleep. About 10 minutes later the pain came back sharp. After 8:30 am hit I was still in steady pain, I decided to go to the Emergency Room. The ER nurse gave me Demerol and something for my nausea stomach. That seemed to do the trick. After about 30 minutes I could feel the stone moving. The doctor came back about 12:30 pm and said that I had 3mm stone lodged my Ureter. So he gave me some medicine and sent me home. I could still feel the stone nagging a bit, but nothing like the pain I experienced earlier in that morning. Later in the afternoon I could still fill that stubborn stone in my right side. That's when I started doing some research on the web about kidney stones and came across this website. I started reading all the comments posted by others yeahs and the nays.
My conclusion was (1) my stones are not as near bad as others on this site, I can't even imagine what they are going through and my sympathy goes out to them and (2) this would not work for everyone since there are different stones, sizes and body chemistry. However, since my pain was still nagging at my Ureter since I've been back from the ER, I thought I'd give the Olive Oil and Lemon Juice drink a shot. I would have to say that it's not all that bad of a drink; it's almost like a lemon zest salad dressing, which by the way might not be a bad dressing the salads. You could kill 2 birds with one stone, have it as a dressing and get rid of your kidney stones. It was around 8:00 pm when I guzzled it down. About 30 minutes later I had a tuna fish sandwich with some iced tea and gram crackers. By 8:45 pm my pain had completely stopped! As some have reported about being nausea after drinking it, I didn't experience that. As I'm writing this its 9:08 am the next morning and I have urinated 3 times since and no stone. Also I have experienced ZERO pain, no nagging on the right side at all. So I am going to keep everyone updated with my progress over the next few days and weeks until the stone passes. I am not going to drink the salad dressing drink until I start to feel the pain coming back. I will though drink plenty of fluids until the stone passes.
My other task is to try and get the remaining stones in my kidneys resolved by following what "4/23/2006: Bertha from Phoenix " wrote about in her post- However, I am going to take on a daily basis 400 mg of Magnesium, 1 gm Calcium and (B-Complex 2 times daily). I believe this only works if you have calcium oxalate stones. I don't know if this would work on the other types of stones.
My History of Kidney Stones:
I had my first attack 1994 about 3:30 in the morning. Since I didn't know what it was I decided to go to the ER after 30 minutes of pain. Once I got the ER the pain had stopped. They kept me there and did CT scan and X-rays. That's when they discovered that I have kidney stones. After that I never had another attack until 2004, ten years later. I think I had about 3 attacks in 2004, went to the ER once again. Then another CT scan and x-rays, that's when they discovered both of my kidneys are filled will small stones, they were anywhere between 2mm - 4mm. I am still trying to get an estimate on exactly how many stones are actually in there. The stones that I have are calcium oxalate. They sent me to a nutritionist to explain about the foods to avoid. Which were nuts, berries, chocolate and etc...They also did every single test that you could imagine to see if my body was producing high levels of calcium oxalate. Which it wasn't, they had no idea of how I got them and told me that my body is not producing the levels of calcium oxalate that could form the stones. The only thing I can figure out was that it must have been something that I ate or drank a lot of or(lack of) in the past, maybe about 10 years ago or so. When I lived in Arizona back in 1994 for 6 years (now looking back at it) I can remember when I didn't drink that much water and I would take in high levels of workout supplements such as weight gainer and creatine for about 1 year. I am not sure if that had anything to do with it or not but I think something that I did in my past must have contributed to me forming the stones. I am 36 years old health male and eat fairly health foods (no junk foods). I don't over eat too much of one thing. Since 2nd episode in 2004 I started making sure I drink plenty of water. I have water at every meal and throughout the day. I would say I have about (4 -6) glasses of 8 oz of water a day. I know that isn't enough but I bump up my water intake when I start passing stones to 10 -12 glasses of 8oz water a day. Since 2004 drinking more water especially over the last 2 years my attacks are happening more frequent, so I am guessing the water is flushing out my stones. In 2006 I had 3 attacks as well and went back to the doctor again and they said that the stones were still there in both kidneys but had not grown at all in size at all. One thing that is really strange is that ALL of my attacks have been on the right side; I have never had an attack on the left side. I know the left side is due so I am hoping to find some good remedies. Thank God I have free medical benefits from the military or this would have cost me a fortune every time I went to the ER and doctor. The only way I could cope with the pain was to go the ER and have them give me Demerol. The doctors tell me that my stones are too small for surgery and that I will have to pass them.
The last CT scan as of September 21, 2007, found small stones still in both kidneys, 2mm-3mm. My task is to try and get the remaining stones in my kidneys resolved by following what "4/23/2006: Bertha from Phoenix " wrote about in her post- However, I am going to take on a daily basis 400 mg of Magnesium, 1 gm Calcium and (B-Complex 2 times daily). I believe this only works if you have calcium oxalate stones. I don't know if this would work on the other types of stones. I am hoping this well dissolve the stones since my kidneys are not forming them anymore.
Wish us all the best with our stones and remember "Try to Jump up and Down or may go for a jog the next time your passing a stone". Just make sure you do it in room where your neighbors don't see you.

Found recipe of 3 oz Extra virgin Olive Oil and 3 oz of lemon juice. My adult son started feeling the pain of his first kidney stone at 6AM and he got into doctor at 10:30, in extreme pain, got a shot in office, then a CT scan to confirm that is what is was. At home at 1PM he started the lemon juice and olive oil and in 24 hours it passed and he said it didn't hurt when it passed. I am guessing the lemon juice must have helped dissolve the edges perhaps. Directions we got was 3 X a day with the oil and lemon.

Lemon Juice/ Olive Oil (remedy) -- I recently had my first run in with kidney stones. After suffering with the aganizing pain for a few days i went to the er for an xray and it was noted that i had a 5mm stone in my right kidney. The doctor said it may pass on its own or futher action may be required. I decided to wait it out since i didn't have insurance and pain medicine seemed to be getting me thru my day. Then upon reading this remedy on this site I decided to give it a try. I drank the mix on a wed. night before i went to bed. I was pain free all day thursday, friday when woke up there was slight discomfort but nothing that needed pain meds. I then went from sat. to wed. afternoon pain free. Early wed. evening i passed the stone with no pain. I would like to think this remedy was the cause. I would give it a try -- you have nothing to lose.

Hi, will the 2 oz of olive oila nd 2oz of lemon juice help with a 5mm stone that is lodged/stuck in the mid ureter? The stone has been lodged/stuck for 3 years. What can I use to dislodge or help dissolve the calcium stone naturally? I appreciate any suggestions.
