I have suffered with kidney stones for twenty years. About six months ago I felt another one strike. Those of you that suffer know the pain well and the location based on the pain. I suffered with this pain for almost six months and finally went to the hospital. I found that I had two stones the size of a dime in the left kidney and about a 5mm on the right side that was basically hung before going into the bladder. The doctor scheduled me for surgery with fear that one of the kidneys would get blocked. In desperation, I came home and found this cure using lemon juice and olive oil and thought what do I have to lose. I took the dosage and went into prayer. The next day I once again took the dosage and prayed. That night the stone came out easy as you please. You have to understand that I believe in prayer very much, but felt that God led me to this page. It will work, and you are welcome to e-mail me as I am truly an honest person.

4 ounces of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and 4 ounces of lemon juice to dissolve Kidney Stones: Ever since my husband, Steve had his first kidney stone attack back about 8 years ago anytime there was a CT scan or ex-ray or anything like that he was told he had a Stag horn Kidney stone in his left Kidney. The Doctors always told him that it would probably not ever move and not cause any trouble. A Stag horn in the kidney shoots out horn like arms and fills all the little crevices in the Kidney. They are not going anywhere. Having said that....
He's been prone to kidney stones that long and has had 4 lithotripsys and two surgeries to get rid of them. He started having kidney stone pain before Thanksgiving but he was trying to pass them on his own. The pain was bad but not unbearable with a little Demerol in him most of the time. After he took that first Dose of that Olive oil/lemon juice cocktail the pain got a little better. So he did another dose the next day which was a Sunday. That night he started hurting so bad but he roughed it out until the next day and I took him to the Urologist. When they ex-rayed him this time that stone was shining like a dime about a quarter the way down the tube. Anyway, after the surgery the doctor said he got it all and we came home. He was still hurting and actually passed several more stones after we got home. We had a post-op appointment one week after the surgery but when we got there, his regular doctor wasn't there. I went in the exam room with him.They asked him for a urine specimen and he deposited a stone in that specimen. The doctor that he saw did an ex-ray and said there shouldn't be any more stones and he was surprised that he was still passing them. He said to give it one more week and come back. In that week he was still in pain and still passing more small stones occasionally. Sometimes he said it felt like what he was passing was grainy and sandy. So after a week of that we go back to the doctor and see his regular doctor. He told Steve that is urine sample was good and clear and he couldn't understand why Steve was still passing stones and hurting. He wanted to do another CT Scan that day but they were behind. He asked us if we would hang around for another 2 hours and do the scan because he had the OR the next day and if he found something he'd go ahead and put him in the hospital and do another surgery on him then. Soooooooo That is what we did. Mind you, we never told that doctor about the concoction Steve had drank. Ok after the CT scan was done we were in the room where they look at the results. The Doctor was showing us that everything looked clear. Steve told him to scroll up to his left kidney and let's just look that old Stag horn stone. The Doctor said ok but he was sure it would be unchanged because he didn't get anywhere close to it during surgery.They can't get to those anyway. Well......He scrolled up there and about fell off his stool! It was GONE! Me and Steve just looked at each other and I knew we were both thinking the same thing. We never did tell that Doctor what we had done. We figured he's just poo poo it because those doctors don't want you to know stuff like that! How would they make any money .

I'm a Believer! Thanks so much for this website. I was afflicted on Christmas Day with excruciating pain in my right side. After being rushed to urgent care I was diagnosed with kidney stones, given some pain meds and a pee strainer and sent home. I was stuck in the bed for the first week. The pain meds don't take away the pain, they just make it barely bearable. After 2 weeks of no change I decided to search for home remedies. I had previously read about apple cider vinegar, and then the olive oil and lemon juice concoction. I decided to try 2 oz of all 3 ingredients. I was desperate! I drank it down in 2 gulps followed by a glass of water and then cranberry juice and went to bed. The next morning the pain was actually bearable without pain meds. Within a few more hours, all the pain was gone. As far as I know I have not passed the stone or stones, but I am pain free! When I went to urgent care they scheduled a ct scan for 4 weeks away; Next week I will go and have it. I don't know if the stone dissolved or just found a nice place to hide. I guess I will find out next week. Thank you thank you thank you for this site!

O.K whattup peoples? If you wanna get rid of your kidney stones, let me show you how. First you try the lemon juice and olive oil for about 2 to 3 days, after that mix 2/12 ounces of lemon juice with only a little water,follow with a whole bottle of water. Do that every 2 to 3 hours but make sure you drink one bottle of water an hour.The goal is to drink 10 bottles per day, AND you'll start to see that your urine is cloudy and sandy like so if you see that, that means it's working. The lemon juice helps break down the stones,,it worked for me cause I had a stone on each side and I've done it for about a week now and I just got back from the hospital an hour ago and my doctor told me that I got only one stone left and the other one is almost in my bladder ready to pass....the remedy works but make sure you drink the lemon juice and water until your brain turns into a lemon.(STOCK UP ON LEMON JUICE AND WATER CAUSE YOU'LL NEED IT)!!!!!

I tried the Lemon Juice and Olive Oil remedy this weekend. THe stone has been there for a year now and finally decided to move this weekend, so pain pills were not doing the trick, so i tried the Lemon Juice and olive oil remedy..It totally helps!!!! I took it after a big dinner and it just sat in my stomach but the pain was gone and i was able to sleep. The next morning i got pain again so i drank it again, on an empty stomach. Don't do that. I felt sick the whole day, pain was gone but sick to my stomach. And i feel 100xs better today still a bit sore, but nothing like what i would be feeling like. So try it!! But take it with food makes a big difference.

I am 38 years old and am going on two weeks with my first kidney stone. And, like others have stated, the pain has been unbearable. When I read the comments on the olive oil/lemon juice remedy, I thought the passing was pure coincidence. My stepfather often said about headaches: If I take aspirin, they go away. If I don't take aspirin, they go away. I wondered if the same was true with kidney stones. About 12 hours ago, I thought I would give it a try. No stones have passed yet, but it did seem to stop the pain (coincidence?). I suffered through some pain today at work and did not have the remedy. Will try again tonight if the pain hits. Meanwhile, I am hoping for the stone to pass. Question for those with multiple stones. My pain has been on the right hand side of my body and a cat scan confirmed the stone. I don't have pain on that side any longer. It may have passed; I don't know. But now I have pain on the left side only. Would it be another stone?

Wasssup peoples, to those that have kidney stones or had them should know about the agonizing pain.One day I was at work and all of the sudden I felt a sharp pain in my lower left side of my back and then the next day the right side was hurting like hell.I didn't know what to do. I went to see a kidney specialist and he told me that I had kidney stones and that scared the living daylights out of me.For about the next two years or so I dealt with the pain It kept me in and out of work so I just couldn't take it no more.So I 've browsed almost every site about kidney stones(this was 1/10/07) and found this site. At first I was like yeah right so I just figured might as well try something since I don't have insurance.tried the lemon juice and olive oil about 9:30a.m 1/10/07,about half an hour later the pain was gone!!!!.I was surprised but still aint passed the damn stone yet.I've took about three doses in one day and it still aint passed but my urine looked kind of grainy.So it's 01/11/07 took another dose at 9:00 this morning hoping to pass the thing,but I know one thing the pain is gone for now.Somebody wish me luck!!

Okay, so I went to the doctor cause I was in major pain all day Christmas and they think it was a Kidney stone, I have never had one before but they run in my family, I went searching yesterday afternoon looking for a Home remedy and I came upon this site, I figured what the heck, let me try it before they do all those invasive tests at the hospital. So I get home and I am a little nervous about trying it because so many people said it tasted horrible, but I had to do it, bottoms up. It did not taste too bad to me but I have a strong stomach. I was fine for a while and then about 2 hours later I had to fight the urge to vomit, I usually can keep myself calm enough not to, then I slowly started to feel better, I felt a few little pains in my Kidney through the night but no where near what I had been feeling. I got up this morning, very tired cause I did not sleep too well last night but I have only had a couple little minor flutters in my Kidney and that was this morning, no pain at all now. I am truly AMAZED! I am also so glad I found this site. I have not passed the Stone that I know of but If I do you can be sure that I will be back here to tell about it!! Good luck everyone!

I took this concoction (2oz lemon juice, 2 oz olive oil followed by 2 8 oz glasses of water( on tues at about 9pm,and now it is Thursday 9----AM and nope no kidney stones passed yet. After about an hour of taking this I had flank pain and still have the flank pain... So I guess maybe it made it move some but not enough :( I'm not one of the lucky ones... Both are tough things to swallow lol.

I tried this mixture of lemon juice & olive oil to alleviate the pain and possibly help pass my stone. Aside from repeating the taste of olive oil continuously for about eight hours, it also made me quite sick to my stomach. I fought off several attempts to heave the whole thing back up. After enduring an entire night of non-stop stomach turbulence, I was rewarded with a very good case of the runs. Not an overall pleasant experience, and more than 34 hours later I still have my stone. Oh, and the pain that evening was later controlled by tylenol with codeine.

Hi! all, I'm 18 weeks pregnant, and 9 days ago I was admitted to the hospital with an excruciating in my left flank. I was told I had a 4mm kidney stone. Being pregnant, my husband and I were quite worried about the Tylenol 3 I had been prescribed and worried about how the whole ordeal could affect our baby! As luck would have it, I found your website, and drank the olive oil/lemon juice mix and about 12 hours later, I was peeing little grain of sand and the pain had diminished. 3 days later I drank the mix again thinking the stone would still be in my kidney, and the next morning the pain had vanished. That same day, I was schedule for my second ultrasound, and they checked to see where the stone was located, and it had literally vanished from my system!! Thank Goodness as my baby is one and didn't have to take any pain killers or go through agonizing pain... Don't hesitate to try, it's drinkable, it's natural and it works!! Cheers

Just an update to my post of 10/01/06. Here it is, nearly two months later and my ex-husband has had no more problems. He drank three doses of the 2 oz lemon juice/2 oz olive oil *cocktail* and the pain disappeared. Then, during a pre-op test, they could no longer find the kidney stone. Thanks to Cyndi for posting this cure. I love this site!
