If we offered you a miracle remedy that cures and prevents "Kidney Stones/Gall Stones" would you buy it? Certainly you would. You won’t find it in a Pharmacy but at the Grocery Store.

Try the Natural Cures for Kidney Stones/Gall Stones.

The formation of stones in the kidneys or urinary tract is a fairly common disorder. The stones are formed from the chemicals usually found in the urine such as uric acid, phosphorous, calcium, and oxalic acid. They may vary in consistency from grit, sand and gravel-like obstructions to the size of the bird’s eggs.

Stones may form and grow because the concentration of a particular substance in a urine exceeds its solubility. This disorder occurs more frequently in middle age, with men being afflicted more often than women.

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, lying below the waist on either side of the spinal column on the back wall of the abdomen. They are soft, reddish brown in colour, and, on an average, measure 10 cm. in length, 6 cm. in width and is 2.5 cm. thick at its centre. They are filtering plants for purifying the blood, removing water and salts from it which are passed into the bladder as urine.

Symptoms: Kidney stones usually cause severe pain in their attempt to pass down the ureter on their way to the bladder. The pain is first felt in the side and thereafter in the groin and thighs. Other symptoms of kidney stones are a desire to urinate frequently, painful urination, scanty urination, nausea, vomiting, sweating, chills and shocks. The patient may also pass blood with the urine. Sometimes, large stones may remain in the kidneys without causing any trouble and these are known as silent stones.

Causes: The formation of stones in the kidneys is the result of defects in the general metabolism. They usually occur when the urine becomes highly concentrated due to heavy perspiration or insufficient intake of fluids. They are aggravated by a sedentary lifestyle. The other causes are wrong diet, excess intake of acid-forming foods, white flour and sugar products, meat, tea, coffee, condiments and spices, rich foods, and overeating. Lack of vitamin A and an excessive intake of vitamin B may also lead to formation of stones.

Types of Stones: Chemically, urinary stones are of two categories, namely, primary stones and secondary stones. Primary stones are ordinarily not due to infection and are formed in acidic urine. They usually result from alcoholism, sedentary life, constipation and excessive intake of nitrogenous or purine-rich foods. Secondary stones are due to local infection and are formed in alkaline urine. Most kidney stones are composed either of calcium oxalate or phosphate, the latter being most common in the presence of infection. About 90% of all stones contain calcium as the chief constituent. More than half of these are mixtures of calcium, ammonia, and magnesium, phosphates and carbonates, while the remainder contains oxalate. Uric acid and cystine stones represent about 4% and 1% respectively of the total incidence of stones.

Treatment: A majority of patients suffering from kidney stones can be treated successfully by proper dietary regulations. These regulations will also prevent a recurrence of the symptoms. Only a few cases require surgery.

The patient should avoid foods which irritate the kidneys, to control acidity or alkalinity of the urine and to ensure adequate intake of fluids to prevent the urine from becoming concentrated. The foods considered irritants to the kidneys are alcoholic beverages, condiments, pickles, certain vegetables like cucumbers, raddish, tomatoes, spinach, rhubarb, watercress and those with strong aroma such as asparagus, onions, beans, cabbage and cauliflower, meat, gravies, and carbonated waters.

In calcium phosphate stones, over -secretion of parathyroid hormone causes loss of calcium from the bones resulting in a high blood level of calcium with increased excretion of calcium in the urine. An abnormally high intake of milk, alkaline or vitamin D may also result in the formation of calcium phosphate stones.

For controlling the formation of calcium phosphate stones, a moderately low calcium and phosphorous diet should be taken. The intake of calcium and phosphates should be restricted to minimal levels consistent with maintaining nutritional adequacy.

The maintenance level of calcium is 680 mg. and of phosphorous 1000 mg. In this diet, milk should constitute the main source of calcium and curd or cottage cheese, lentils, and groundnuts should form the main sources of phosphorous. Foods which should be avoided are whole wheat flour, Bengal gram, peas, soyabeans, beets, spinach, cauliflower, turnips, carrots, almonds, and coconuts.

When stones are composed of calcium and magnesium phosphates and carbonates, the diet should be so regulated as to maintain acidic urine. In such a diet, only half a litre of milk, two servings of fruits and two servings of vegetables (200 grams) should be taken. The vegetables may consist of asparagus, fresh green peas, squash, pumpkins, turnips, cauliflower, cabbage, and tomatoes. For fruits, watermelon, grapes, peaches, pears, pineapple, papayas, and guavas may be taken.

On the other hand the urine should be kept alkaline if oxalate and uric acid stones are being formed. In this diet, fruits and vegetables should be liberally used and acid-forming foods should be kept to the minimum necessary for satisfactory nutrition. When the stones contain oxalate, foods with high oxalic acid content should be avoided. These foods include almonds, beetroots, brinjal, brown bread, cabbage, cherry, chocolate, French Beans, potatoes, radish, spinach and soyabeans.

Uric stones occur in patients who have an increased uric acid in the blood and increased uric acid exertion in the urine. Since uric acid is an end product of purine metabolism, foods with a high purine content such as sweet bread, liver and kidney should be avoided.

Kidney beans, also known as French beans or common beans, are regarded as a very effective remedy for kidney problems, including kidney stones. It was Dr. Ramm of Germany, who first discovered the value of kidney beans as a medicine for kidney and bladder troubles. He employed it for over 25 years with beneficial results. The method prescribed by him to prepare the medicine is to remove the beans inside the pods, then slice the pods and put about 60 mg In four litres of hot water, boiling slowly for four hours. This liquid should be strained through fine muslin and then allowed to cool for about eight hours. Thereafter, the fluid should be poured through another piece of muslin without stirring.

According to Dr. Ramm, a glassful of this decoction should be given to the patient every two hours through the day for one day, and thereafter it may be taken several times a week. Dr. Ramm also says that this decoction will not work if it is more than 24 hours old. The pods can be kept for longer periods but once they are boiled, the therapeutic factor disappears after one day. The basil, known as tulsi in the vernacular, has a strengthening effect on the kidneys. In case of kidney stones, basil juice and honey should be taken for six months. It has been found that the stones can be expelled from the urinary tract with this treatment. The celery is also a valuable food for those who are prone to stone formation in the kidneys or the gall bladder. Its regular use prevents future stone formation.

Research has shown the remarkable therapeutic success of vitamin B6 or pyridoxine in the treatment of kidney stones. This treatment has to be continued for several months for obtaining a permanent cure.

The patient should take a low protein diet, restricting protein to one gram per kg. of food. A liberal intake of fluid up to 3000 mL or more daily is essential to prevent the production of urine at the concentration level where the salts precipitate out.

The patient should be given a large hot enema, followed by a hot bath with a temperature of 100 o F, gradually increased to 112 degrees F. The head should be kept cold with cold application. Hot fomentation applied across the back in the region of the kidneys will relieve the pain.

Certain yogasanas such as pavan-muktasana, uttanpadasana, bhujangasana, dhanursana, and halasana are also highly beneficial as they stimulate the kidneys.

Hope this helps, Good Luck.

there is magnesium in powder form that you mix with water.. i was told to take just enough until i got diarrhea and i did so everyday for about 3-4 weeks i also Drank a warm cup of lemon water every morning to help flush the kidneys and liver.the dr. here wanted to blast the stone to pieces to help pass but it was very costly and i had no insurance at the time.so i had to do research and a local chiropractor told me about this magnesium. it worked well. the other Dr did not believe i dissolved the stone but at the same time he said the stone was so big he knew i couldn't have passed it without major pain or blockages. then i had another stone in the other side and it worked for me twice. my stones were from pregnancies so i had a stone after each child.hope it helps! i still drink lemon water daily for preventitive and have been stone free for3 years.

I don't know if this works at dissolving a kidney stone your size or not - but I do know that this is an excellent preventive measure for people who do get kidney stones. Once you get them, you know you're prone...

-- Every 30 minutes, drink 8 ounces of water with the juice of half a lemon. Alternate lemon with fresh apple juice if desired.

-- Aloe Vera juice can help reduce the size of a stone during an acute attack and help prevent stone formation.

-- Uva Ursi herb helps relieve pain and bloating.

If you don't want to do the lemonaide/lemon juice - you can use Potassium Citrate to help dissolve and prevent future stones from forming...

When I was trying to pass a small kidney stone, I did internet research like you are doing.

I found in a couple places that you should mix olive oil and lemon juice (about 2 tablespoons of each), stir it together (it looks like salad dressing) and drink it.

My urologist told me to drink lots of real lemonade (not the flavored drink, but lemon juice mixed with sweetener and water).

I did both of those things over a period of a week or so.

When they went in after the stone, it had already passed.

It's painful. Drink cranberry juice and water and take some pain meds. When it starts to pass from the kidney to your bladder it hurts like heck (worse than labor). If you are a male you will have more pain from your bladder out. (I assume you are male by your name.) If you are a female, mine didn't hurt from bladder out since we have a larger opening then men. Just a warning, at first the pain is crampy and comes and goes but eventually (for me) the pain stayed and I couldn't get in a good spot to make the pain ease up, I finally had to go to Redi-med and get a pain shot. Then I could relax!

Sorry you have to go through this, I wouldn't wish this on my worse enemy!

Drink tender coconut as much as possible and check the passing of kidney stones by placing a towel at the time of passing urine.

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.

They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!

This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.

It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.
