Today is Sunday, April 22,2007.. I am in Pain as we speak. I have tried the Lemon juice and Olive oil 3 times now, every other day. The pain seems to be moving from my back, to my scrotum , to the groin, burning in the penis. ANT SUGGESTIONS?? I tried the coke and asparagus, and it did dissolve a 9mm about 2 yrs ago. But it takes 2-3 hrs of time, and I am on the run lately. Email me if you wish..

First let me begin by saying ,I was very skeptical regarding the lemon juice /olive oil remedy for kidney stones, but like other posters here when in the kind of pain associated with kidney stones one will grasp at anything for the hope of relief. I began with excruciating pain that lasted for 6 to 8 hr periods for 3 days before seeing a doctor. The doctor diagnosed me with kidney stones and sent me for an MRI. The MRI revealed a 8mm stone in the left ureter. When I returned home still in agony I mixed 2oz fresh squeezed lemon juice with 2 oz extra virgin Olive oil as instructed on this site and drank it down. It actually wasn't that bad. I followed it with plenty of water. For the first 48 hrs I had no change , still plenty of pain .At about the 48 hr mark just when I thought it wasn't working for me, the pain disappeared completely. About a few hours later I passed 3 small stones without pain . The next morning I passed another. A follow up appointment with a urologist and a few X-rays a week later (the soonest appointment I could get) confirmed the stone was gone. The doctor was amazed and said I wouldn't have passed a stone that big without knowing it, I told him I passed 4 pieces and he said I was lucky and somehow it must have broken up. I hope I never have the chance to test this cure again however I do think It was the reason for the stone breaking up.

my father is kidney stone patient from last 30 years.He have removed more than 250 kidney stones from size of 4 mm to 2cm by various operative methods of open surgery to PCNL to lithotrpsy .stone of size of 4mm to 8mm were flushed out easily by taking lemon water juice of 300ml after regular interval when ever the pain occured also if pain is more he would take a doctors prescribed pain killer which made the process more easy. also coconut juice helps in flushing stone out.

what a beautiful thing ! In the past 15 years I have had 3 surgeries for kidney stones. about every five years here we go again!well about a week ago the feeling came back again. pressure in my lower stomach.dam so i went to the internet and looked up kidney stones and vinegar cause id tired it before but it didn't work than so I thought maybe there would be something else I might find for kidney stones.thankyou thank you thank you who ever you are for the website on olive oil and lemon juice remedy for kidney stones!! In the morning i made up a glass of 2 oz extra virgin olive oil and 2oz of lemon juice.it seemed like alot to drink of this stuff but id drink allmost anything instead of having to go through my doctor visit to tell me to go to a urologist than he told me to get a mri than back to the urologisgt to tell me i needed ultra sound and also the good old trip up the penis to remove one that way too. after 17,000.00 missed time from work and all the doctors visits i felt good. that was 1 year ago.so anyway i drank it and also drank a large glass of water . i didn't eat or drink anything for 3 hours.in that time i urinated a few times and i felt a slight burning which told me fragments were coming out. I was so happy to know it was working at lunch after i eat oatmeal i did feel a little nausea but that went away.now another sign that it worked was now when i urinated the stream was stronger and before it was weak and id have to stand there and wait not anymore! it's a miracle that works thanks again I'm a very happy man!!!!

TRIED THE LEMON JUICE-OLIVE OIL REMEDY FOR MY STONES. AMAZING BUT THIS CONCOCTION WORKED. X-RAY REVEALED 4-5 STONES IN MY RIGHT URETER. A "STEINSTRASSE" AS MY UROLOGIST CALLED IT. THIS WAS THE RESULT OF LITHOTRIPSY TO BREAK UP A 12MM STONE. DOC CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ARE GONE. WANTS EVEN MORE X-RAYS AFTER HE AND RADIOLOGY DOCTORS COULDN'T FIND ANY STONES ON 10 X-RAY SHOTS WITH DYE. I'M NOT GONNA TELL HIM A DAMN THING ABOUT HOW I GOT RID OF 'EM. HEH HEH HEH.

Dissolve Kidney Stones: This would be my second bout with kidney stones. It started on Monday (April 9th, 2007), two sharp pings. Couldn't be. No. It was. The next day I got the pain.
Man. I suffer from panic attacks. I have it mostly under control. No pills. Postive thoughts, it's not real. When I got them the first time I sought help from the internet. I ended up on some medical site. It should worse case scenario; surgery. I started to panic, got cold sweat and almost lost the abilty to walk. Add to that, I went blind for a moment. I have never had that happen before, nor since.
Under the help from my mom I visited one of my local botanicas. The fellow there gave me these herb pills and tea to drink to dissolve the stone(s). I could take the pills, but the tea made me feel lightheaded. So, I stopped drinking it. All and all, it took nearly two months for it pass. The pills took the pain away. So I was inclined to believe the rest. The pills were twenty bucks for a week's worth. So, about $160.
Since this is once again my reality. I decided to look at the Web once more. This time... different Google keywords. *smile* And I ended up here.
On Wednesday night I took the elixir and went to bed. It helped with the pain. One of my problems besides that was urine. I was drinking a lot of water, but releasing not really enough. Probably one of them was plugging up the exit. Thursday evening I took it again.
About an hour later I went to bathroom, very little coming out. Then less than half an hour later. BOOM! Gotta go, gotta go. Floodgates opened. I went again two more times. They're gone.
This stuff really works and saved me some serious greenbacks. I already have the lemons (lemon tree in the backyard) and the olive oil was less than four bucks.
Money saved which now goes back to DVD purchases (I'm a collector). We all have our addictions.
What needs to be mentioned in better detail is the formula itself. A warning. It's hard to swallow. I was on the verge of vomiting, trying to keep that stuff down. It works, it truely does - for me at least.
A bit of advice. Sounds simple, but it's important. KNOW your cups! I had two, one for the mix and one with water. I drank one and then the other. But refilled the water in the wrong cup. Putting that taste back into my mouth. Funny. I guess, but not at the time.

2 oz. olive oil, and 2 oz. of real squeezed lemon juice, helped me pass my kidney stone.
I woke up on a Thursday morning around 4:30 a.m. with excruciating pain, and knew right away that I had another kidney stone. This pain lasted for about four hours,and then subsided. I had pain off and on the rest of the day along with being sick to my stomach. I thought this time I would try and not go to the hospital, and so I looked on the internet for some folk remedies. The 2 oz. of lemon juice, and the 2 oz. of olive oil, followed by a lafrge glass of water looked like it was something I wanted to try based on the testamonials. It was Saturday now and about 7:00 a.m. I drank the solution. It was about 10 minutes later and the stone was moving again. I was in a whole lot of pain that lasted for about four more hours. After being totally exhausted I finally was able to sleep until about 4:00 p.m. I woke up went to the bathroom and passed my stone. Thanks for the remedy!

I have had several kidney stones over the years and let me start by saying I've never really believed in "home remedies and certainly never have added comments to a website such as this one. However, if my comments help one person to not experience the pain I have had over the years, my simple comments are well worth my time. Monday, I started experiencing the all too familiar pain of another kidney stone. Tuesday,I went to see my friendly Urologist. He said it was good to see me again. I unfortunately DID NOT feel the same. Another darn stone and this time it was the largest I'd had out of a half dozen or so. He said it was a very large stone but "passable". That is when I really knew tough times were ahead. Now, I know about the thought process that indicates most stones pass within 48 hours. Let me assure you that has never happen for me. Last night I figured I had nothing to lose and came across this website. What a blessing. The recipe tasted terrible, but as most of you know, taste is the last of your concerns if you're experiencing kidney stone pain. Anyhow, I passed it this morning at 3:30. It was not nearly as hard as the ones I'd had in he past. I could actually crumbled it between my fingers. Now, I am normally a very strong non believer in these home remedies, but this WORKED. p.s. No I do not work for an olive oil or lemon company (lol). Thank GOD for the lady that shared her home remedy.

On April 4th was taken to the ER via ambulance vomiting and in the worst pain ever! I thought I was dying. Six hours and a cat scan later, I was sent home with the knowledge that I was in for a rough time with kidney stones. The pain was unbearable and went on for the entire morning and afternoon of the 5th. The pain meds were little help. My sister googled dissolving kidney stones and came up with this site and forwarded the info to me. I was willing to try anything at this point and cautiously tried it. Within the first hour I felt considerably less pain. I took another dose at bedtime. I slept the whole night through. The next day I took another dose and rested comfortably. By the early evening of the 6th I was able to go on a planned fishing trip weekend (remedy in tow). I spent the entire weekend fishing with only a little discomfort, not enough to stop me from enjoying myself. In fact I only needed Advil twice the whole time. I don't know if or when the stones passed (the doctors didn't give me a strainer) but I am feeleing so much better and the pain is almost non existant! Who would have thought lemons and olive oil could be so GREAT!!!! If you are suffering, you have GOT to try this!!! It works!!!

I had a kidney stone last year and went to the emergency room only to get sent home and wait for it to pass three days later. I had the stone tested and found out I have Calcium stones. When I felt a sharp pain in my lower back two weeks ago I knew exactly what was happening. I took pain killers for two days and then decided to wait it out. A week and a half went by with no progress, so I started looking on the web for home remedies. I came across this website and went to the store and bought the lemon juice and olive oil. I took it at 9pm last night and at 9:30 this morning I passed a 3mm stone. This remedy worked for me and I would recommend it to any one who is suffering. By the way it only cost $4.00 for the ingredients :) Thanks for such a great website.

Found this site very helpful & want to share what worked for me since I am pain free now. I don't have insurance and was desperate for relief. My back pain started dully on Wed 4/4/07 but by Thursday I could hardly walk & Friday I was ready to die. The pain was jolting, shooting, radiating, debilitating, unbearable. Thank God I had hydrocodone 7.5/500mg to somewhat dull the pain-took 4 painkillers Thurs, took 3 Fri & 2 on Sat. Also used ice packs on my back from Wed - Sun. Friday afternoon I started multiple approaches to eliminate what I believe were kidney stones (have a family history) but this was my first experience & I pray the last.
First, I went to grocery store & bought 3 items: #1-100% #2-pure cranberry juice, #3-extra virgin olive oil & 10 lemons (total cost about $10)
Then went to herb shop & bought: #1-hydrangea 100 capsules 325 mg ea, #2-Kidney Activator ATC 50 capsules 448 mg ea (contains juniper berries, parsley herb, uva ursi leaves, dandelion root, chamomile flower) #3-PDA enzyme supplement 200 capsules(contains betaine hci 325 mg ea & pepsin 20 mg ea)**total cost about $60 & these items distributed by Nature's Sunshine www.naturessunshine.com
Late Friday afternoon I started with the 2 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice (ate pulp too) & 2 oz olive oil, took 3 hydrangea capsules, 1 kidney activator capsule & 4 PDA followed by a glass of water. Later in the day I drank about 8 oz cranberry juice.
Saturday morning I followed the same routine - waiting a little bit to drink the cranberry juice so my tummy could settle. Around noon I took the 3 hydrangea, 1 kidney activator & 4 PDA again. Around 6:30 pm took the lemon juice & pulp, olive oil, 3 hydrangea, 1 kidney activator, 4 PDA & cranberry juice again. During the course of the entire day drank at least 2 gallons of water. Mid morning started seeing grainy reddish brown things when urinating (A LOT OF THAT WENT ON DUE TO THE MASSIVE QUANTITIES OF FLUIDS) and some blood but not too bad.
On Sunday I did all the same things as on Saturday. When I first woke up, had virtually no pain & attempted to catch up on some housework-that lasted about an hour before the shooting pains started again. By 11:30 I was pain free again and still am.
I will continue with the PDA (4 capsules 3 times a day)for maintenance since I believe the stones were caused by my body not digesting proteins properly. I'll reduce the hydrangea to 2 capsules daily & the kidney activator to 2 capsules daily. I think I'll do the lemon juice & olive oil once a week to be on the safe side.

I think I've got stones again - started the olive oil, lemon juice and herbs last night. Did the same again this a.m. and about to have the noon dose of herbs only. Am feeling a little better with the pain and am happy to report it's not nearly as bad as the 1st time 4 years ago. At least I can walk and I don't have any pain killers anyway except for over the counter types. My 4/9/07 post lists the herbs & dosages that proved successful back then.

As a toxicologist I have a strong background in biochemistry, physiology, etc. and could not see why or how the lemon juice/olive oil remedy for kidney stones could work. However, I did not think it could do any harm either so, since I was hurting, I gave it a try. It was not unpleasant to drink and did not upset my stomach as some have reported. Unfortunately, it did not move my stone either. Oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained.

Just last Saturday, March 31, I came accross your website while looking for a remedy for kidney stones. I have been suffering with stones since last Fall. I went through Lithotripsy twice to blast a 14mm. Both times I was given the maximum amount that can be given. Still not enough to make the pieces small enough to pass into the bladder. So, Saturday night I went to the store to pick up the lemons and olive oil. At 9:p.m. I downed the mixture of 2 oz each. Sunday nothing happened so I mixed up another cocktail and drank that by 9:p.m. Here it is on Monday afternoon and at 3:p.m. I passed 2 stones. 30 minutes later passed 2 more stones. Another 30 minutes and passed the biggest stone of the 5. I think that is all that I have. Surgery was scheduled for 2 weeks from today. I am confident that all is well now. As a preventative measure I think I will use this remedy once a month. I am a happy man!

This simple solution really works! But, make sure and buy fresh lemons and squeeze them yourself. Don't use lemon juice from a bottle. My first mixture with bottled lemon juice helped, but I could tell it wasn't going to do the trick. Eight hours later I drank the mixture again, but this time I used fresh squeezed lemon juice with the olive oil. Two hours later I passed the stone! I've been pain free ever since!
