Lemon Juice and Olive Oil

Olive Oil Lemon Juice Works for Stones: I will be brief. Had my first kidney stone a month or so ago. Blood in the urine. Went through medical channels, urologist, tests to confirm 8mm stone, and then finall lithotripsy. It worked enough that the stone was dissolved and pieces came out. Calcium oxalate stone. Afterwards, though, I wanted to urinate all the time and had a painful feeling at times in my urethra. Went back to urologist, got an xray, and it seemed as though there was a large fragment left in my ureter. He put me on Flomax for two weeks to relax my bladder. I still had the sensation of needing to urinate a lot, plus no stone had passed. I found this site and read about the olive oil and lemon juice. I tried a smaller dose two nights ago, but nothing. I am approaching another doctor visit, so last night I took more. I did not mix them together, either. I drank the olive oil which, if you get a good brand of extra virgin, can taste good, then the fresh juice of two lemons, then drank a quart of water. This morning, after walking the dog, I passed a large fragment, what I believe was the last fragment. I am normally dubious of many home cures. I believe in Western medicine, but I also believe in organic food, Eastern medicine and lots of other stuff. I'm not pre-disposed, in other words to automatically go for the herbal cure. And this could have been a coincidence, but I believe it is what finally worked here. I am grateful.

I've had kidney stones before, and will probably continue to have them on and off the rest of my life (because I am /awesome/ like that). I'd never tried a remedy on my own before, because I'd always been on my parents insurance and could easily afford codeiene and a doctor's visit. I've been out of college for three years now, with no health insurance, and a kidney stone decides to rear its nasty head in my right kidney (as usual). I suffered it for a week and a half, through the initial agonizing aching and subsequent inability to urinate more than a tiny bit every 10 minutes or so. And I got fed up--I work two jobs and I can't afford to run to the loo when I need to, or stay home. So I messed around on google, and came across the lemon juice/olive oil treatment. I decided the ingridients were cheap enough to give it a go, and obviously not toxic. I upped the amount (2 oz each) recommended, because I wanted it GONE. Totally worked too. This morning, I peed like I'd never peed before and yah no more kidney stone. I think anyway, because I can't feel it anymore, there's no pressure in my tract, and I can pee uninhibited. A word of caution though--I had a hard time sleeping, and spent five hours thinking I was going to heave my guts up. But yes, thank you all who recommenended olive oil/lemon juice--I love you all!

This worked for me! I just had my first experience passing a kidney stone and hope I never have to do it again. I had a painful attack one Saturday that kept me on the couch all day. The painful symptoms came and went for almost a week until I decided to go to an Urgent Care facility the next Friday night. I was told I probably had a kidney stone or a bad kidney infection. I was given antibiotics and told to watch for stones to be expelled (gross). I read about using olive oil and lemon juice on this website. On Tuesday night I was desperate and decided to try it. I mixed 2 oz of olive oil and 2 oz of lemon juice at 8 pm on Tuesday. The following day at 1:30 I passed a stone. YEA!!!!!

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

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!

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.
June 23-2007 @ 6PM Central
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

am Pattabiraman, Indian, residing in Sharjah, UAE. I had my first stone removed (size - 6mm X 4mm) by Laser Lithotripsy in 2000. Two years later I had another one, came out on its own just few minutes before undergoing IVP diagnosis. This was like a crystal disk. On both the occasions the calcium oxalate stones stayed over six weeks at the lower end of my right ureter tube. On 14th of June 2007, again I felt severe pain on my right flank and I knew another stone had started to move. I was rolling with pain for half an hour. After that I passed urine stained with blood and all the pain went away. After this, for over a month every now and then I felt pain while peeing and the urine was with blood. Also I had a pricking pain at the tip of my penis and severe burning sensation at the time of urinating, especially at the start and end of urination. After carrying out Ultrasound Scan, X-ray and Urine tests, the Urologist confirmed that this could be another small stone still at the lower end of the ureter and prescribed to continue with Ural, Rowatinex and other antibiotics and pain killers. But it didn't improve my situation. My daughter who stays nearby, scanned through internet and found the Lemon juice & Olive oil remedy form your web pages and suggested me to have a try. I know that one of my colleagues removed his gall bladder stones using the Lemon and Olive oil Gall bladder flush method. My wife also encouraged me a lot to go in for that. So I wanted to give a try. I stopped all the medicines on 12th July. I wanted to keep my stomach empty to reduce vomiting and any other uneasy feeling. since I stopped all medicines my pain increase on 13th. Today (14th July, 2007), I got up around 5 'O' clock in the morning and passed motion and cleared my bowls. I took exactly 2 oz. of Extra Virgin Olive oil and 2 oz. of lemon juice and stirred them well. I was not sure of the taste. At 6.30 am I just drank this in one go in few seconds. Believe me, the taste was not at all bad. I didn't have any vomiting sensation or any other uncomfortable feeling. First half an hour I didn't drink anything, After that, every half an hour I took around 400 ml of water. I went for peeing around 7.15 am . I didn't pass anything, but the pricking pain & burning sensation got reduced a bit. After an hour, I felt a bit of pressure at my back around the area of both my left and right kidneys for a short time. Then I was watching TV and felt sleepy around 9.00. I slept for half an hour and when I woke up, my bladder was full, and hence had the urge to urinate. I went to the toilet and peed holding a strainer to filter any particle. There was no pain at the time of peeing and I felt something went through the urine stream. Yes it is the stone around 5mm. in size. WOW !! what a relief in just 3 hours!!. Believe me, it really & definitely worked. Absolutely I don't feel or have any sort of uneasiness through out this 3 hours. My stomach is very very normal and don't feel any problem with my digestive system. I am writing this email (12.30 pm) immediately after removing my stone (of course, proudly keeping the 5mm stone in front of me) with this Lemon Juice & Olive oil method. I definitely encourage those who are suffering from kidney stones to have a try in ths method, before undergoing surgery, Lithotripsy or Shock wate Lithotripsy treatment. Many thanks to your Web Page and Internet service. Regards

I just tried this suggestion (2oz lemon juice / 2oz olive oil )out about an hour ago and IT WORKED! I know there are non belivers out there and maybe you are justified if you tried it and it didn't deliver but it did for me. I went into the emergency room this morning at 1:45am, left the hospital loaded with dilotted (not sure about spelling)thereby confirming a 2mm stone. Read these success stories, tried the brew and I'm no longer a STONER!!!! Thanks to you all and God bless you!!!!
