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.

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?

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.)

Hi Bill, Sorry you are having kidney stone pain. This happened a few years ago to a friend and she was in so much pain, in desperation she searched online and found a "secret" that would dissolve stones. She paid the 30 dollars to find out the secret and then felt really stupid. But she did what it said and hasn't had any pain since. The directions? In the morning drink a whole 2 liter bottle of regular cola within two hours (she did a glass every 15 min.) then as soon as you finish the last of it eat 8 oz of pureed asparagus. She bought a can, added some seasoning and warmed it up before she ate it. She said when she urinated it smelled really strong and the directions said the stone would pass within hours. She said she must have passed the stone because she was in extreme pain when she started the cure and by the end of the day the pain was gone and she hasn't had any since. Obviously the chemistry of the urine changes and dissolves the stone. Not sure what's happening, but it seemed to work.

Well, I seem to be a yea after all. I feel foolish, having posted myself as a nay, but its now been 48 hours since I've had any pain. I've peeing through a strainer and have not passed the stone but perhaps it has completely dissolved. A urologist I just saw last week recommended drinking 3 oz of lemon juice in 30 oz of water daily as a stone preventative.
EC: Rating has been changed - thanks for the update!

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.

1/21/02 Kidney Stone Attack #2
My first kidney stone was in 5/97. I went to the ER, received medication for pain and after the pain subsided went home. About 3 days later the stone passed with no further problems.
My second Kidney stone was in 1/02 and about 18 hours after the pain began passed a dark brown irregular calculus measuring about 3x2mm.
My third kidney stone incident began on 1/4/10 with the familiar discomfort in my groin and lower back. I was driven home and took some leftover pain med.
Three days later, I finally got to the doctors. I didn't take any pain med and the pain began while in the waiting room and intensified while I waited in the exam room for the PA, ceasing a few minutes before she entered. She sent me to nearby hospital for a CT scan. Their report confirmed a 5mm stone at the opening where the urethra empties into the bladder, a common bottleneck for stones. The Urologist, who was able to see me right away, explained that 5mm is about the limit for stones to pass without assistance and there were two procedures available, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopy, where they insert a fiber optic probe through the urethra and break up and grab the stone in a basket. He said that the stone's position made the blasting not a good percentage option. I decided to give it about a week and set a followup for the next Wednesday. He gave me some Flomax and a strainer and told me to drink a lot of water.
The next few days the pain came and went. Monday, I called the Urologist to set up the operation as soon as possible. It turned out that I needed clearance and some additional tests. The earliest the procedure could be scheduled was Thursday, Jan 14. When I got home, I jogged & walked 2 miles in the park and jumped off of a picnic table several times, trying to dislodge the stone from where it was stuck and move it into my bladder. It might have worked because after that there was no more pain - even the back soreness disappeared.
Tuesday, back to the doctor for an EKG, more blood work, and a chest X-ray. I passed the time in the waiting room looking up kidney stones on the internet on my smart phone. I found an interesting site that promised an effective home remedy of a common drink plus a vegetable, for $40. Researching it at home later, I found it was reported as a scam and that the "secret" was 6 cans of Coke and pureed asparagus. Thankfully, I kept researching alternatives and found this web site that listed hundreds of testimonials for a simple mixture of olive oil and lemon juice.
I went to the store and bought some lemon juice - not from concentrate - in a yellow squeeze bottle. At 3:30 pm I mixed 2 oz of each in a salad cruet (how appropriate) and shook it up really well, then downed it, followed by 12 oz water. The taste wasn't as bad as some reported and other than some oily belches, there were no side effects. It might even have had a beneficial effect of loosening my bowels that were tight from the pain meds. But still no stone.
Later, I rode my horse with my wife and did a lot of sitting trot to keep working on jarring down the stone. We watched a movie until 10:30pm, at which time I made a second cocktail, about 2.5 oz each of oil and juice this time and downed it. I got up to urinate around midnight and heard a distinct clink as the stone passed and hit the bottom of the jar. I collected it with the strainer and it looked different from my previous stones, which were light brown and very jagged. This one measures about 3 x 4mm and is darker, sort of rounded. It's possible the potion partially dissolved it making it rounder and smoother - if so, that's a good thing because there was no pain or any sensation at all when it passed - nine days from the initial attack and about 9 hours after my first drink, 1 1/2 hours after the second.
I'm very grateful to the people who put up this web site. It is truly a godsend. I brought the stone to the Urologist today, to have analyzed, and, obviously, called off the procedure - saving thousands of dollars and unknown discomfort!
I'm convinced that the olive oil and lemon juice helped the stone pass, thus averting unwanted and unnecessary surgery. The urologist thought the jumping did more than the mixture, but admitted that lemon juice is helpful in preventing stones. I plan on taking the mixture periodically to help inhibit kidney stones, cause there's no way I'm going to refrain from all the foods in the big list my urologist gave me. In the future, if I experience kidney stone pain I will take the potion from the outset, combined with some serious jumping. Pain medication and flomax are also helpful.

I came across this website and decided to give it a try. What I did was squeeze some fresh lemon juice (approx. 8 ounces) and i drank it over about an hours time. I also had a couple spoonfuls of Olive Oil with my dinner. I drank about 1 liter of water in the couple hours following this.
Felt nothing at first, then about 4 hours later got bad stomach cramping and had diarrhea. Was also nauseous. Cramping remained for about an hour. Then had urge to pee and went. Didn't see anything.
No idea if this did anything for my stones...but i guess it didn't agree with my body lol. Will update to say if it worked or not!

The results were amazing,she passed a gelatinlike thing which we suppose was the stone and got instant relief.
After 5 days she started to look green when she saw the olive oil, but kept taking it 2x a week for a month. We have no proper way of thanking all of you, the result was a resounding succes. Thanks

I noticed that I was getting lower back pain for no reason, and it kept getting worse. I was having problems getting to sleep because of the terrible pain. I thought that it could be kidney stones, so I went to your site to see if there was a treatment. I gave it a try and was delighted when the pain subsided. I'm still drinking the Lemon juice/olive oil, and everyday I'm feeling better. Thank you for this wonderful site.

Within a half of and hour the pain had subsided somewhat although I still couldn't urinate. Throughout the course of the day I took several Hot showers focusing the hot water on my right rear flank. Additionally, I would jump up and down and shake it all about vigorously to dislodge the stone which eventually allowed me to urinate a bit. As the day progressed I would continue to drink more water (some with Lemon Juice added) with the result being that the pressure would build up, the pain would increase and I would return to the hot shower and jump about until I was able to relive myself.
At about 6 PM I drank another 2 Ounces of Olive Oil and 2 ounces of Lemon juice as I was convinced the treatment was working. Approximately a half hour later I threw up. By 8 PM my ability to urinate (almost normally) returned to my great relief and the pain had virtually disappeared. At bedtime I took another two OTC Naproxen Sodium pills just to be sure and over the course of the night I woke up several times to urinate, each time more freely than the last. I woke up this morning pain free and have taken one more shot of the Olive Oil/Lemon Juice mixture just to make sure I'm all cleared out.
This treatment absolutely worked for me and I am very thankful to have found out about it. THANK YOU!!
