Last Sunday Debbie and Justin were not in the pew behind us in our little country church in East Tn. The Pastor said that Debbie has a kidney stone and her doctor had given her a drug and told her to drink lots of water and come see him on Tuesday.
I call them after church and told them to go to the Earth Clinic site and read what they say.
Got to church today and Debbie hugged my neck and gave me a thank you card. She got immediate relief by drinking lemon juice and olive oil.
The doctor could not find a stone in his tests on Tuesday and canceled the hospital procedure.
I needed this Atta Boy after being beat up by the wemmins on this site who are more concerned about the moon and their menstrual period than the problem in Japan.
Requesting a get out of jail pass for bringing this up. Yo buddy ===ROBERT HENRY

Went to the urulogist and guess what: one stone left. I didn't even know I had passed the other ones. I guess that's a "yea". At the urulogist I asked him about lemon juice and olive oil and he answered begrudgingly, "... Lemon juice: yes. Olive oil: I can't say."
Can't say or won't say! It works. The only thing you have to lose are the stones.
Also, someone mentioned to keep it to 2oz of lj, and I will 2nd that notion. I tried two lemons of juice (about 4oz). That made me sick. Keep it at 2 & 2. Great site guys.

Day three: with the urulogist appointment fast approaching I am amping up the oo/lj combo. Results from last night were similar to the first night: some grit in my pee but no major activity. Today, with no meds, I am relatively pain free... Some minor discomfort but not the level I'd expect from having 6 stones out of my kidneys in ureter. Having to be at work for 11 hours a day, I can't always strain my pee so I don't know if I've passed any or not. Usually I know when they pass though, but without knowing for sure, I'd say I haven't passed anything yet.

Last night I drank it. So far today I have noticed little discomfort... Less than yesterday. After straining my pee I noticed a little grit, like a grain or two of sand, but almost microscopic. It's worth mentioning that I ran out of antibiotics yesterday and the antibiotics were almost like a pain killer... So that's good. I will update again tomorrow.

Well... Here goes. I'm currently in my 2nd bout with kidney stones, the first being 5 years ago. Last time I just drank tons of water and it was summer. After about 2 weeks of pain, I basically went crazy and started doing mad work around the house and pretty much "sweated" it out... Very painful.
So... It started up again about 6 weeks ago with the typical sign: hematuria. I knew what it was but went and had a CT scan to be sure. Guess what? It was a 4mm stone in ureter. I tried the lemon juice olive oil mix... And didn't really have any issues for a few weeks. Then the pain started up again, much worse this time. I went back for an x-ray and they found 6 stones this time! There were 3 in one ureter and 2 in the other and 1 in the bladder. I wasn't sure if the mix worked originally and that I possibly passed the original stone weeks ago or if it was one of the many new ones. Originally I thought the mix was an "old wives tale" and I had wasted my time, but after visiting this site and seeing all the testimonials it would be foolish to just wait for something to happen or go in for what might be an unnecessary surgery.
I go back to the uruologist on Friday (4 days). I am going to try lemon juice and olive oil mix again (and again) to see if it works for me.
I did notice that when I did it the first time (also drinking a lot of 15% lemon juice lemonaid) my urine seemed to have some grittyness to it, but didn't think too much about it at the time. Was this the 1st stone? Did the mix cause the exodus of the other stones? Of course no one knows, but I am going to see if the lemon juice and olive oil mix works. None of the stones is larger than 2-3mm, so I am thinking that the first stone passed or shrank or broke up. I will update you guys with my progress. Wish me luck and wide ureters (more the latter).

I had a 5mm stone stuck at the entrance to my bladder for the past month. (The pain actually feels much lower) This last week was the worst. Finally used 2 oz lemon juice/2 oz olive oil followed by LOTS of water for two days. Also used a prescription of Rapiflo from my urologist. Stone passed on the third morning. What a relief!

After going to the doc and learning I had my first kidney stone, my wife, who is all about natural cures, happened upon this site to learn about the olive oil and lemon juice remedy. When I returned home about 8:30 pm, I set up 3 shot glasses and into each one put half lemon juice and half OO. I downed all 3 in succession, and followed with 2 large glasses of water. After 30 minutes, I downed 1 more shot of the mixture, followed by 1 glass of unsweetened cranberry juice. For every hour after that, I drank another glass of water. By this time my abdomen was huge with liquids, but nothing was coming out- just the usual trickle and then it would stop, despite the urgent feeling of constantly needing to go.
After about 5 hours, I actually had the urge to go No. 2. I got on the throne and pushed for the bowel movement and immediately the stone shot out at the same time and I finally flowed with urination again. I never thought I would take that for granted, but I have a new appreciation for being able to urinate normally.
So Yes, I'm a believer in the OO and lemon juice, so if this feeling ever returns, I'll know exactly what to do.
Thanks to the people on this site who provided the information to get better. I would still be in pain without you!

I have a question's regarding the Olive Oil and Lemon Juice to dissolve Kidney Stones; I have a 15 year old dog who is having problems with his kidneys and has an ulcer, he is approximately 16 lbs now (he has lost 7 lbs since becoming sick for the first time). 1) Can you use this same remedy on dogs?
2) What can you do to neutralize the acid in the lemon juice so that it would not aggravate an ulcer?
3)Would you use the same mixture: 2 oz of olive oil and 2 oz of lemon juice, drink it straight down and follow with a large glass of water? Can you break this mixture down into smaller portions?
4) Can you use the Real Lemon Juice or should they be Fresh Hand Squeezed Lemons?
Regards,

My father has been using the Lemon Juice and Olive Oil to pass kidney stones for years now. It works within a week, depending on how large the stone is. This is well worth the risk in using as it cost less than a doctor visit and it is all organic.

Cindy G- I read what u said about your husband and his condition. I am as well a person who takes morphine for my stones which I have been getting the past 4 years. Just to give you some insight on how ive been doing with my own homemade remedies which like this one helps alot in the passing of the stone.
Also another thing you can try is mint green tea with lemon, olive oil, apple cider vinigar and some aloe vera juice as well as pomagranate juice. Do the 2 oz of lemon juice and 2 oz of olive oil everything else is 1 tablespoon. I noticed that after 24 hours with taking my pain meds I didnt need the meds anymore the remedy actually disolved the stone small enough I didnt even feel it when it passed. I took this for a couple of days now when I feel im going to pass more stones I do the same thing. Maybe he should try it. He should also get checked to find out if he builds to much calcium and not enough acid. I found out I barely produce any acid at all and too much calcium which will cause stones. Good luck and I hope this helps

Just been reading these posts for the last couple of days and I am very happy to hear that there is a cure or remedy for kidney stone. I had an attack 2 weeks ago and it was so painful that I needed to be rushed at the ER. Found out that I have some on my right kidneys and one on my left the size 1. 5cm. I was advised that I needed to have a shock wave done, well before I do I want to try this first and I hope it really works, so far I have downed 2oz of lemon and oil. I feel something tingly on my right kidney, I just hope that the big stone can pass. I sure want to save a lot of money. I will update you guys if it works.

It occurs to me that some of the "Nay" reports might be from people who do not have a Calcium Oxalate stone. The oil and lemon method is recommended for the most common type of stone - Oxalate but may not be so effective if you have, for instance, a struvite. Some reports suggest it is good for Calcium Phosphate too. If you successfully pass a stone you may take it to your physician and he can get it analyzed then you can tell how best to avoid stones in the future.

Two thumbs up for the lemon juice and olive oil remedy for calcium stones (previous stones analyzed were confirmed to be calcium. ) I did add a squirt of honey and about 2 oz. Of cranberry juice to the mixture, just to be able to swallow it. Next day I had strange "worm-like" movement sensations from kidney all the way down to bladder with no pain. Hurray! I think I will drink the concoction weekly to ward off new formations as I must take calcium supplements for my osteoporosis. THANK YOU EARTH CLINIC! For saving me the pain and also thousands of dollars in doctor and hospital bills!!!

I was told the blood in my urine is from the crystal that make up the stone. These crystal cut up the bladder causing bladder infections. Calcium citrate and a low to medium oxalate diet can also help prevent them from forming to often. Research low oxalate diet.

My story: I have suffered with kidney stones since I was 16 yrs old. I had my first surgery for a 9mm last yr I recently found out there was more in both kidneys. I came across your site and decided what did I have to lose but hopefully some stones. I couldn't bring myself to drink 2 oz of each so decided to try 1 oz of each once a day along with the water afterwards and throughout the day low and behold the second day I passed 7 stones of good size the biggest being around 3mm with no pain also passed all kinds of small sand like ones. I'm still facing surgery as they want to know why there was so much blood in my urine but I will continue doing this on a monthly basis to keep the stones at bay. I can't thank you enough for having a site like this.

Hello Everyone, I am not that good in writing such blogs so I will keep it simple and sweet. One fine morning, I had a severe pain in my lower abdominal. I went to the doctor and he suspected that it could be the Kidney/Urinary Stone. I had my Ultrasound Scan done and found that I have got 3 Stones:
2 In the Kidney of around 4mm
1 In Urinary Bladder of 7mmX4mm
After 4-5 hours, my pain was gone and doctor gave me a medicine for 2 weeks and have told me to wait if I would pass it. If I would not, I would have to go for an operation. I tried those medicines for a week and nothing happened. NO pain though. So I started feeling worried about it. Because I knew if I would not pass it then I have to go through an operation which is ticking on my mind constantly. And by taking those medicines, nothing positive was happening so I was kind of loosing hope of passing my stones. So I started looking on Internet what would be the easiest way if I have to go through an operation. I did a bit of research and found that there is a Shock-wave Therapy and I thought of requesting that one for an operation. But then I thought, WAIT A MINUTE... Let me see what people has to say for the problem like this. Searched on net. And... FOUND THIS SITE!!! I read this blog and was surprised to know that Olive Oil and Lemon Juice was consistently effective on more than 200 people. I had decided to give it a try.... Went to a shop and bought a EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL and FRESH LEMONS. Went to home and before sleeping, I took about 60ml of Olive Oil and mixed 60ml of Lemon Juice with it as suggested by this blog. Drank it followed by lots of water at around 11pm. After few minutes, I felt my stone moving!!!!!! I thought it would start paining now so I went to bed immediately and slept before it starts hurting me. But got no pain that night. Woke up in the morning but didn't pass it. So before going to work, had another shot of the same at around 10am. I went to office, around like 5pm I went for a toilet and I felt it is moving and it is in the Urine Passage!!!!! But unfortunately the force of urine was not enough to push it outside as it was 7mmX4mm of stone!! But stone got stuck in my urinary passage and I was like.. Was not able to walk properly, was not able to even sit as it was stuck right there in the urinary passage!! SO drank lots of water.. Went to home.. Waited until I got good pressure in my urinary bladder... At around 8pm in the evening.. I thought I should give it a try again. Went to the toilet and pushed it hard and guess what???
IT WAS GONE!!!! I was so surprised!!!! Just 2 shots and my stone out!!! Amazing... Isn't It?
I was so happy, I called up all my friends and my family and told them about this. Went to the Doctor after two weeks from here for a scan and found that I have ZERO stones inside of me!!! Moral of the story is....
1) Olive Oil and Lemon Juice funda really works
2) I just had to take 2 shots so it is very effective and works straight away
3) It also cured my other 2 stones in my kidney
4) No pain and it was not at all bad in taste. It was just like drinking a lemon juice..
5) I felt I must share this so whenever I got chance, I share this around me
If you have a stone problem.. Please give it a try. You do not have to loose anything. It works!!! Give it a try!! Hope this would help!! Cheers,
SAM :)

Olive oil & lemon juice seems to have cured my ureter stone. 5 days ago a CT scan revealed the stone. Today was my follow-up x-ray to see if the stone moved positions. This morning a friend emailed this link, so I made and drank the cocktail 2.25 times prior to my appointment scheduled 4.5 hours later in the day. I figured it couldn't hurt to try. My first dose was around 10am. My x-ray was at 3pm. When I consulted with the urologist immediately after my x-ray he said the stone was gone. Twice I used the full recipe of 2oz of each ingredient and one time I used 25% of the recipe because I ran out of lemon juice. I went on an empty stomach until the x-ray. I'm scheduled for a follow-up in 4 months.

What has worked for me and many others for kidney stones is hydrangea root. I buy it in the capsule form. They have it at most health food stores. There are many articles on the internet about kidney stones and hydrangea root. It's an old Indian remedy. It works for gall stones too. I have personally used it as well as my husband after being diagnosed with kidney stones. The hydrangea root dissolves the stones within days. I now take a few capsules monthly just for maintenance.

I have been in pain for almost a month. The initial kidney stone problem led me to a the ER and I was given pain meds and a "good luck on passing it". The pain continued and I found this page. It is now a month later and I still have the stone (probably hung up on scar tissue from where I had a stone removed a few years ago by surgery)but I swear the lemon and olive oil helped the pain. Maybe it was in my head, I don't know but it helped the pain. Even though I may still have to have surgery this time, I will, the next time I get one, start lemon juice and olive oil right away. It also didn't taste as bad as the vinegar and water did either.

If you can pass a 9mm one then, I can certainly pass a 7 that is stuck in my ureter. I don't want that surgery! The stent sounds horrible, and I already have an irritated bladder. I keep reading that a 7mm one won't pass, but some people say this is not true. Thanks.

After reading the reviews I am excited to read about the lemon juice and olive oil remedy however I have the same concerns as Mhillqt. I am a petite lady, only 5'0" with a 12mm kidney stone! I am also afraid that if I start using the remedy that it may pass, reaking havoc to my ureter. Has anyone used this to pass large stones? Any answers would be helpful since I have already had lithotripsy and scheduled to do it again in 2 weeks since the stones did not pass the first time.

to Mhillqt from New York, Ny. I have no direct experience with a particularly large stone but I have had a couple of painfull kidney stone attacks over the years.
I found that drinking about 2 litres of pure unsweetened apple juice a day for 2 consecutive days alkylized my system enough to shrink the stone size so that they could pass painlessly through my system. I could then use whatever method I wanted to flush my kidneys and be back to normal.
This has proven effective on three different occasions when I let my diet drift to too much animal protein and fat for a prolonged period.

I suddenly had deep pink-colored urine, no pain. Went to dr. and after testing, was told it was either kidney or gall stones. I had no insurance, but knew my last round of having kidney stones removed had cost plenty. Went surfing and found this wonderful website. I tried the lemon juice and olive oil treatments (2oz of ea plus @ 1/4 cup water twice a day, but also increased magnesium from 400 mg to 800 and the next day the urine was clear again. Repeated the doses for 2 more days. That has been 5 weeks ago, and I have been symptom-free ever since. Just read that B vits and l-lysine can help. I already take 1200 mg of calcium. (It is a shortage of calcium that causes these, not too much as most doctors have been taught.)

Alleluia for lemon juice & olive oil! I have endured the passage of kidney stones since I was in my 20's. I am now almost 50 and just recently suffered another kidney stone attack. After using the usual pain meds and massive amounts of water, I was still in tremendous pain, nauseated, weary, and still no stone after 6 days. I chatted with my naturopath and he recommended I start taking magnesium supplements. I did this and it definitely helped ease the pain level so that I could get by on over-the-counter pain meds. But still no stone. I then found this website and the many testimonials for the lemon juice & olive oil remedy. I thought I would give it a try - far better than going through another surgery. I used 3 oz of lemon juice & 1 oz of olive oil (just couldn't quite get myself to do 2 full ounces). Followed that with at least 32 oz of water in about 10 minutes. I did 2 oz of lemon juice and 1 oz of olive oil followed by 32 oz of water again the next day - twice. Went to bed without any pain, woke up in the morning and passed the largest, most jagged stone I've ever passed. What a relief. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to tell their story - you gave me the hope & gumption to try something new. I hope my story can do the same for someone else.

Yes it WORKS!
I had an MRI done and it showed Gall stones and my Doc was ready to remove them. I was very skeptical about the lemon juice and olive oil. But it worked, you can see emerald green stones.
Start in the morning and drink lot of apple juice (softens the stones so they can pass). Don't eat meat or any fat. Eat only fruit and vegetables. It is recommended not to eat anything after 2:00p.m.
At 6:00p.m.:
Add 1 Tbsp. of Epsom salt to an 8 oz. glass of water and drink. (I add cranberry-apple juice to cut the metallic flavor.)
At 8:00p.m.:
Repeat the Epsom salt and water drink.
10:00p.m.:
Add 1/2 Cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice to 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil. Drink and go to bed. Lay on your right side with you knees tucked (fetal position). Stay in bed as long as possible.
In the morning:
Repeat the Epsom salt and water drink. You will have diarrhea somtime during the day after your flush. Look in your stool and you can see them.
After cleanse:
eat simple after the cleanse- like potato, chicken noodle soup etc. but no fried foods.
This was an answer to my prayers and a God send. Hope it helps.

I was taken to the emergency room for pain in the groin. After a few tests including a CT scan, I was diagnosed with kidney stones. I had a 4mm stone (in my kidney) and I was given medication to help it pass and to help control the pain. All this happened on a Tuesday. By Friday morning, I had been drinking over 90 fluid ounces of water daily, pain had been on and off (in groin and lower back), there was no obvious improvement and I had given up on the prescribed medications (meds). During this time, I had been reading about kidney stones and low and behold, stumbled upon earthclinic.com on Saturday evening (had not taken any of the meds since Friday morning). I saw all the 'yeas' for the olive oil and lemon juice concoction and decided to give it a try. And I'm glad I did.
I measured exactly 2 fluid ounces of extra virgin olive oil and 2 fluid ounces of freshly squeezed lemon juice, mixed it up, drank it (tasted great, the aftertaste is especially delicious - maybe it's just me) and drank 32 FL OZ of water over the next 3 minutes or so. In about 60 minutes the pain subsided. I later went to bed and slept all night with no pain. Sunday afternoon, I took the same mixture, and drank 40 FL OZ of water in about 3 minutes. Sunday evening whiles in bed it seemed like something was moving in the general region. I could feel it so I got out of bed, drank some more water and went back to bed (only second night of pain-free sleep since Tuesday). Monday morning, I took the same mixture followed by 32 FL OZ of water. By about 12:30pm, during one of the multiple urges to urinate, I could tell something was stuck somewhere. With almost no pain, the stone passed and I was absolutely overjoyed!! I am grateful for the mixture of olive oil and lemon juice, and the over 30 FL OZ strong backing of water!! And for Earth Clinic for relieving me of my agonizing pain. Thank you all!! I should also add that I drank about 100 FL OZ of water through out each day and I am in my 20's.
To summarize: a 4mm stone was in my kidney and it passed in less than 48 hours (Saturday evening to Monday afternoon) of drinking a teaspoon-stirred mixture of 2 FL OZ of olive oil and 2 FL OZ of lemon juice (3 times) and immediately following, about 30 FL OZ of water (3 times). I am in my 20's and very happy today. A big thank you to Earth Clinic and to everyone who shared their stories!!!

KIDNEY STONES: 2 oz lemon juice, 2 oz olive oil, 1-2 x a day for 3 days until stone passed. (Don't do more than this or you might get sick/nauseous. Absolutely no pain. AMAZING!! CURED!! I don't need to add to the hundreds already here, but here's the story. My husband is a physician, we KNEW what the pain was. It was 3 days of intense pain for my husband. The only thing that helped was breathing exercises. My husband was in tears, he felt intense nausea, and we finally broke down and went to the ER to get something for the pain b/c he was missing his first day of work in a new job. Even after getting morphine, he was crumpled on the floor in screaming pain. my mother called to tell about Lemon juice, we asked the Dr. and of course he had no idea about it, so we left with a $5,000 bill...for nothing. Went straight to the store, with my husband crying in the car (he NEVER cries), got the lemons, and there was no more pain and it passed 3 days later. Crazy. His was about 3 mm, calcium stone. THANK YOU EARTH CLINIC!

In my opinion, the reason your stone moved only a bit (without passing) in 5 days on using this "treatment" is because you only followed it with the cup of water. In all other posts of positive results, they all drank close to 1L= 32oz of water. Lemon juice is acid and breaks down the calcium stone (80% of kidney stones are made of calcium) and plenty water is used to flush it out fast. But you could as well be the 20% case where this remedy might not work.

I've used fish oil gels as a substitute for olive oil and have had mixed results with it. The best way to drink the olive oil without gagging - is to mix 1 ounce with 2 ounces of chilled (cold) lemon juice. This gives the concoction a "lemon meringue" flavor.

WOW - you people on this website are amazing. I really think this had to be a bunch of pookey dust (i.e., lemon juice and olive oil). I've had the weirdest symptoms for 2 weeks (first week was a weird combination of fever and chills every night followed by a second week of great discomfort and finally absolute pain last night down somewhere in my urinary tract.). At first I thought may be I was having a problem with my prostate and then for last several days I figured I was having a bad uirnary tract infection). It's now 4:30 a.m. (as I write) and at 3 a.m. I finally work up (again with the pain) and thought, maybe I'm passing a stone or something. So I found this website and thought, 'what the heck i'll give this crazy potion a try' before heading off to the hospital later today. So I squeezed out a lemon through in a bunch of olive oil, chugged it, and then chugged about 4 large glasses of water behind it(thinking these people on the website must be nuts, those that say something'll happen in 30 minutes) and honest to god, not even 20 minutes later, I had to pee and watched carefully and out plunked a 'thing' with my pee, looked to me like an old filling from a tooth but a little smaller, so I guess this is a stone, eh? I never would've believed this nonsense would work. All I can say is thanks-a-billion for this website. These past 2 weeks have been a real pain (honestly I was thinking I had something really bad and that it probably wasn't something as simple as a stone). I'm 50 years old - so i guess I probably should've figured it out sooner, but what can I say this was my first one, so the thought didn't occur to me. You guys are brilliant.

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.

I have many stones in both kidneys (largest is 13mm) and I'm trying to avoid Lithotripsy (have bad reactions to anesthesia). I don't know if I can get myself to swallow 2oz of olive oil. I've found 1000mg olive oil gel caps, do you think if I swallow them with the lemon juice, it will work the same way?

A couple of months ago I had passed a 5mm stone using this remedy of olive oil and lemon juice concoction.
2 weeks ago, I had more discomfort - mostly in my bladder and urinating caused my penis to burn. Again I used the Lemon/Oil mix and finally pissed out a 9 1/2 mm stone..... my biggest rock to date!!!
I've noticed that the size of my stones have been increasing in size, probably due to a high intake of sugary foods and coffee.
This remedy definately works..... have been a regular user of this remedy for a couple of years now.
