1 4 Remedies to Dissolve Kidney Stones BUT Only One Works 4 Remedies to Dissolve Kidney Stones But Only One Works You re experiencing severe abdominal pain that s radiating to your lower back. You also notice blood in your urine and a persistent need to urinate, even though you can only urinate small amounts at a time. You have a history of kidney stones and are pretty sure you are experiencing them again. Not wanting to use medications or surgery to treat your kidney stones, you start to look for successful home remedies that dissolve kidney stones naturally and fast. FOUR treatments look promising: Jump to the One that Works 1.Lemon Juice and Olive Oil

2 2.Apple Cider Vinegar 3.Coke and Asparagus 4.Lab Grade Chanca Piedra Which ones work and which ones don t? We ve done the testing and leg work to sort out the success rates of each of these treatments. Why Do I Get Kidney Stones? Our kidneys are essential organs that filter out the waste in our bloodstream. The byproduct of this waste is our urine. Stones develop from buildup of mineral deposits in our urine that stick together in the kidneys. Typically, these stones develop because of a lack of water that dilutes the accumulation of these minerals on the lining of our kidneys. Certain medications, medical disorders (e.g., Crohn s Disease), and a family history of kidney stones can also increase your chances of suffering from them. Because they are known to cause a great deal of pain, it is no surprise that those who suffer from kidney stones are will to try just about anything to prevent them and to stop them from coming back. Known medicinal treatments include the use of alpha-blockers such as Flomax that relax the lining of the ureter to help stones pass more easily, and medications that treat the associated pain. Additionally, surgical procedures and other non-intrusive means of surgical treatment may be prescribed to break up both calcium oxalate and uric acid kidney stones. These treatments include ureteroscopy and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) Preventative measures used to halt the formation of kidney stones to begin with include dietary changes and behavioural changes.

3 These include things like decreasing sodium intake, drinking more water to stay properly hydrated, not working out excessively, not going into saunas (to prevent excessive sweating and dehydration), and eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. What are the Symptoms? Kidney stone sufferers may tell you that trying to pass a kidney stone is about the worst pain they have ever experienced in their lifetime. Some of the most common signs and symptoms of kidney stones include the following: Sudden, severe pain that comes and goes in intensity. Common areas afflicted include the back, groin, abdomen, side, and genitals. Nausea and vomiting Blood in the urine or abnormal urine colors Frequent and painful urination Though kidney stones are not normally life-threatening situations, they are typically a truly uncomfortable situations. And it s not unusual to experience so much pain that you make your way to the emergency room to Alternative Remedies for Kidney Stones Increasingly more people are interested in following at-home treatments for kidney stones to prevent the use of medicines and surgeries. A number of alternative remedies have been acknowledged for the treatment of kidney stones. We will present these below and discuss their likelihood in success.

4 1. Lemon Juice and Olive Oil Sounds awful, doesn t it? People do claim success in mixing a concoction of lemon juice and olive oil to help dissolve kidney stones as a popular home remedy. Proponents of this method claim that at the first notice of symptoms, mix five ounces of olive oil with five ounces of lemon juice. Drink this combination straight and then drink a glass of water. You should blend this concoction and drink it straight first thing in the morning and again in the late afternoon. Be sure to drink plenty of water as well and extra lemon juice, if possible. Continue this treatment for several days until the stone passes. It is thought that the lemon juice could break down the kidney stones and the olive oil would aid in lubrication to pass the stone more easily. Extra-virgin olive oil is thought to be the best olive oil ingredient to use because it is the thickest and healthiest. Warning: Lemons are very acidic and can destroy tooth enamel and contribute to heartburn or ulcers. Our patient surveying indicates some success in a limited number of kidney stone patients. We give it 2 out of 5 stars.

5 2. Apple Cider Vinegar Makes your mouth pucker just thinking of it. Some home remedy enthusiasts swear by the use of apple cider vinegar to treat kidney stones. The theory behind it is that apple cider vinegar is made of citric acid that which could play a role in dissolving kidney stones, helping the body pass the stones more easily. In addition, it is believed that apple cider vinegar helps in the prevention of kidney stones to begin with by alkalizing the effect on blood and urine and promoting the production of hydrochloric acid in the body to prevent the formation of kidney stones. Proponents of this home remedy recommend mixing two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with six to eight ounces of water and drinking the mixture frequently throughout the day, and especially before meal times to help dissolve kidney stones. Drinking ample amounts of fresh water throughout the day is also suggested to help flush the kidneys. If the stones are passed, you are advised to continue drinking this solution one to two times a week to prevent future kidney stones from forming. Warning: Apple cider vinegar is very acidic and can erode esophagus tissue, destroy tooth enamel and may be dangerous when taken with blood pressure and diabetes medications. Surveys indicate sporadic success in some patients who have been waiting long periods of time for a stone to pass. We give it 3 out of 5 stars.

6 3. Lab Grade Chanca Piedra Lab grade chanca piedra has shown high success rates in kidney stone treatment. This herbal remedy breaks down and prevents the development of new kidney stones. Allnatural, Chanca Piedra has been shown to scientifically crush the kidney stones to dissolve them and allow easy passing of remnant stone materials. Studies have shown almost instantaneous pain alleviation following the consumption of Chanca Piedra. It first grabbed the attention of the scientific community in a 2002 study on rodents which demonstrated it slowed or halted kidney stone growth. Further studies indicated lab grade Chanca Piedra actually interferes with the process that would normally cause stones to form. Treatment with Phyllanthus niruri strongly inhibited the growth of the stones and reduced the number of stones These results show that Phyllanthus niruri has an inhibitory effect on crystal growth How Do You Dissolve Kidney Stones and Get Them to Pass?

7 So you have one or more kidney stones lodged in the kidney and want to dissolve and flush them out fast? You ll need a higher dose than the normal maintenance dosing and many sufferers find they can fix the problem with pure chanca piedra and water. Here s how to dissolve kidney stones: 1. Take 400mg of lab grade chanca piedra when you wake. 2. Wait one hour before eating to ensure maximum uptake of the herb. 3. Take 400mg of lab grade chanca piedra at night. 4. Once the stone has left the kidney scale back to just 400mg per day. The name, Chanca Piedra itself translates literally to Stone Breaker, and scientists and doctors globally have praised the use of this herbal remedy in the treatment of kidney stones. The analgesic compounds in lab grade Chanca Piedra help ease pain while passing stones and reduce them in size so the particles can pass through your urine stream easily. In addition, lab grade Chanca Piedra builds a defense system, so to speak, so reoccurrence of kidney stones is drastically reduced. This is due to the herbal remedy s formation reduction of the very minerals that build in up in the kidneys to produce kidney stones excess oxalate, phosphorous, and magnesium.

8 You could spend days drinking olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, large amounts of Coke, and asparagus puree, with limited success, if any. We find far superior and consistent results from kidney stone sufferers who took lab grade Chanca Piedra and the science backs those real world findings.
