I was browsing and found this article. I had just passed a kidney stone BEFORE reading the olive oil and lemon juice suggestion. I tried it anyways to see whether it would bring up any additional stones. Guess what? IT DID!! The stone it brought up about 12 hours later was DOUBLE the size of the first stone. I have had no problems since and feel great. This was an amazing discovery. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I came across this remedy and thought what the heck I have a 4mm stuck kidney stone on my right side. I had already passed on that was there, but found this one is stuck. I tried the remedy, did not work the fist night,tried it again for two weeks twice a day, still no luck. now here is is two months after they were discovered, had a ct and found now insted of a 4mm stone it has growen to a 7mm I have to have it removed.This remedy might work on stones already moveing to help them move faster, but it did not shrink,disolve, or move my stuck stone just left me to hold onto it longer so it got bigger. Don't belive everything you read. The remedy was not that bad a taste, and it wont hurt you......

I tried the Kidney Stone remedy with the olive oil and the lemons. Used two ounces of fresh squeezed lemon juice and 2 ounces of extra virgin olive oil. It was the nastiest thing I ever had to drink before. But since I have had surgery on kidney stones before I thought what the heck...well it works, that simple. Pain went away and for the next 24 hours saw pieces of stone in my urine. This really is amazing. I feel like I was let in on a big secret. Thank you so much for posting this.

7/3/07 -- This past Sunday I spent 5 hours in the emergency room with a killer pain that was diagnosed as a kidney stone. I was stunned but not surprised since my dad, brother and nephew have all passed kidney stones more than one time. Nevertheless, it really came out of left field for me. The pain was unbearable but I was relieved to have a diagnosis. My stone they said was approximately 4mm and pretty close to the bladder, so they sent me home to pass it w/ some pain killers. Sunday day came and went, no stone. Monday morning...more meds because the pain began all over again, so I knew the stone was still there. Took more pain killers and decided to surf the web for info. I have 2 small children and can't afford to be bed ridden till the stone decides to pass, so I was ready to try anything that could help me pass the stone. The 2oz olive oil/ 2oz lemon juice formula seemed harmless enough and the positive feedback was overwhelmingly in it's favor, so I tried it but w/ 4oz of lime juice instead. That's all I had available and I was in no condition to run to the store. I decided on more juice simply because I wanted to make sure I chased the olive oil taste away. That was at 4pm, Monday, 7/2/07...before midnight I picked up a small little something in my strainer. I have not taken any pills since Monday morning and I feel like a million bucks. I know my kidney stone was close to being explused but I'd like to think this "formula" helped give it that last push it may have needed. Try it...it can't hurt.

This did not work, the stone is still there. I have to have it removed by doc. My stone is only 5mm sorry I really find it a bit hard to swallow that a stone any bigger then mine will come out with no pain. I wouldn't belive some of these stories. besides you can't make olive oil cold it solitafies. If you are haveing pain, the stone is already moveing.( on its way out) don't make yourself sick with large amounts of this mix. the two and two won't hurt you, but for a stone that is stuck it won't work. I know with this kind of pain you will try anything but I really hate to see people make them self sick listing to what other people say. Kidney's are not something to mess around with. I did try the two and two but it did not work. Good luck and be careful....

Last summer I had a stone attack, and honestly thought I was dying. When they finally put me on a gurney, just moments away from shooting me up with demoral, I blacked out. That is, my eyes were open and I momentarily saw nothing. At this point I demanded loudly to know whether I was dying, because I had never experienced a creepy sensation like this. No one yet knew what was wrong with me, they wouldn't even hazard a guess. A few years ago I had appendicitis. I promise you, I could do that again standing on my head, compared to the otherworldy, indescribable pain of a lodged kidney stone.
One stone was eventually passed, but they had to do a uroscopic prcedure for another that was too large to budge. To say this was miserable is an understatement. Especially when the day came to pull out the tube. It felt like I was kicked in the testicles by a mule.
Well, looks like I'm having problems again, almost a year to the day later: excessive urination with a slight burning sensation, and very slight and intermittent stomach and flank pain. This is very similar to how this got rolling last year.
I did the olive oil and and lemon juice thing this morning. No more burning penis after peeing, no more flank and stomach pain, pretty amazing. My urgent trips to the bathroom (or empty jar, laundryroom sink, etc) have subsided, and things seem normal. Like almost instantly after drinking this stuff, followed by a quart of water.
Thanks for the info!

My left lower back startd hurting, and I assumed it was a kidney stone.It was pretty intense, so I found your site and tried the olive oil and lemon juice remedy.I got pretty nauseus, but got up this morning and no pain. I don t know if I passed the stone or not, but at least I know how to get rid of the pain,and will use the magnesium and b6 remedy below to finish the job, as it does seem more pleasant. I would suggest to anyone if they have a serious problem, why not try all the remedys , one at a time, listed on this site. It seems it would be a much better alternative, and one would probably work.

It works! It truely works! I experienced major flank pain on my Left side late night June 21-2007. I knew what it was because I have now had two very large stones (one 14mm with the cage/basket method, and one (12mm with Lithotripsy method) and 4 very small (2 thru 4 mm) stones (feeling like sand burrs come through). On June 22-2007 at about 3 PM I mixed the "FORMULA" in a Larger quantity then called for. I knew my stone was HUGE from the Flank pain so I decided that a big stone needed alot of "FORMULA" I mixed 10oz Cold pressed Olive oil and 10oz of Lemon Juice, followed by 3/4 gallons of water in a 4 hour period (needlessly to say I did not get much sleep that night). Within a few hours I could feel my left kidney (gurgling) processing the stone. I had a little bit of sand like pieces come through in about 6 hours. By the afternoon of June 24-2007 I could feel the stone move however it felt spongey. June 25-2007 same feeling however, it have move into my bladder and into the final canal. Today, June 26-2007 at 9:20 I had to go, and out the stone came, After a close inspection of the stone, it measured about 10mm (no jagged edges) and it was indeed "spongy" soft. I was evident to me that the "FORMULA" works. I will start taking this FORMULA in smaller quantities once a month or every other month as a preventative.
Thank you for this post and the information you shared on this site. I believed it because all the ingredients could be purchased in any grocery store thus no singular motive was evident. Since no one person had the ability to gain, I figured it would work.
The stone of 10mm+ came through just fine, I didn't even buckle to my knees. It happened at work, and I was up and running in no time at all.
As a kidney stone sufferer since 1997, I will pass the information on to anyone who is experiencing these jewels.

Hello Earth Clinic and members. I had my first kidney stone in 1997 for a period of 7 months (5 hospitalizations). After finally experiencing kidney poisoning I went to the emergency room and it was remove using the BASKET/CAGE method follow by a Stint for two seeks. In 2004 I had a kidney stone on my other side removed by lithotripsy. I have passed 2-3 small stones since then. My large stones have been 14mm and 10mm.

The stone I have now is smaller but stuck. I found this site and went to the store to get the needed supplies.
I like olive oil and use it often in my cooking. I like lemon added to water. So I got home with everything and mixed 8oz Lemon juice with 8oz Olive Oil, and 2oz Lime juice. The hairs on my chest grew in magnitude as I drank what should be know as the "FORMULA - KIDNEY, NASCAR" As I write this, I have just started drinking water and will soon take a very long hot bath. I figured that if the 4oz FORMULA works, I would drink about 20oz and then it should work for sure. No Nausea experienced however the Heart Burn was something else. I drank this FORMULA over the course of 30 minutes. I will report more when there is more to report.

Remedy: 2oz Olive Oil & 2oz Lemon Juice followed by lots of water. Ailment: Kidney Stones:
Add me to the "Yea's". I had pain in my lower back for several days that I've identified as a precursor to passing a kidney stone (I'm very familiar with the warning signs as I'm a recurrent stone former). I tried the treatment and a few hours later the pain abated and I passed the stone. I collected it and it wasn't even hard and "stone-like" anymore. It had softened to a state like a jelly bean.
I gave this cure to my wife's boss but it didn't work for him. I imagine that it all depends on the chemical composition of the stone and I am one of the lucky ones that it works for

I tried the olive oil / lemon juice concoction to try to prevent a ureteroscopy to remove a 6mm stone that was located just outside my kidney. I tried it first on a full stomach and then the next day on an empty stomach. Although I didn't pass the stone, some debris was eliminated during each of the following voids after ingesting the solution. It didn't taste that bad and I did not get sick drinking it on an empty stomach. However, I did burb a little and each burp tasted like olive oil, but it wasn't the end of the world. When the day for my surgery arrived, they found the stone just outside my bladder. It had moved all the way down from my kidney to my bladder without the severe pain that everyone thought I would have. I had flank pain and took Vicodan a couple of times to deal with it, but 600mg Ibuprofen would probably have been sufficient. I would have liked to have passed the stone but I think the juice made the trip easier for me. Good luck to all of you.

06/07/07 Saw lemon juice/olive oil mix on line and decided to try. I have had 8 invasive proceedures since 1992. There are over 20 stones in left kidney and 15 in right. Lithotripsy, grabbing and laser have not worked. I have passed one stone in 15 years. The drink wasn't bad at all. Within 5 minutes 95% of the pain was gone. Five minutes later I was running to the toilet where I spent the better part of the night with burning diarhia. It's been 12 hours and I still have diarhia and the pain is still subdued. I am concerned about another 2/2 drink as I am afraid I will end up dehydrated from the massive fluids coming out. Lemon Juice/Olive Oil definately relieves the pain, just stay close to the toilet!
