5 Summertime Tips to Prevent Kidney Stones

stopping kidney stones

I've had about 25 kidney stones in the past 29 years. Calcium oxalate stones, which account for about 80 percent of stones. I couldn't stop the formation, and the pain has been horrific over the years. I've had lithotripsies, a surgery of sound waves that can break the stones into smaller pieces to pass. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it makes you pass more (smaller) stones with more pain.

I finally found an herb that naturally eliminates the stones, both preventatively and even while in the kidney. In 3.5 years now, I haven't had a kidney stone, so I take four capsules a day, two in morning and two at night. www.NoMoreStones.com I suggest that anyone suffering from kidney stones, esp. the hard, calcium oxalate stones, to take this herb. It's clinically tested and safe... Works for me, and I've searched for many years for a solution.

CANCER TUMOR NOTICE BY A KIDNEY STONE

I HAD A KIDNEY STONE ONCE BEFORE AND KNEW WHAT THE PAIN WAS FROM THE FIRST TIME SO I WENT TO EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE THE PAIN WAS SO SEVERE. AFTER A CAT SCAN THEY FOUND A GROWTH OFF MY LEFT KIDNEY WHICH WAS A SURPRISE TO ME. AFTER A STENT WAS INSTALL ; I WAS TO RECEIVE A PARTIAL NEFROMETOMY. THE TUMOR WAS CANCEROUS BUT NOT INFECTIOUS. WELL I LOOK FORWARD TO MANY YEARS OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND IF IT WASNT FOR THE KIDNEY STONE . MY LIFE COULD HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT ENDING

Great tips

Thanks for the tips. A long time ago, a friend of mine started to pass a too-large stone while on a transatlantic air flight. I can't imagine many experiences worse than that. I wish there were a simple annual test to determine if you have stones forming (and a painless way to get rid of them).

My doc told me to drink at least 8 beers a night. So if I get a stone I'll pass out before the pain hits.

Hyperparathyroidism and kidney stones

I am a 34 year old female and started getting stones while pregnant at age 29. I had 5 stones surgicially removed!! Turned out I had a hyper-parathryoid. The parathyroid works with blood calcium. It was producing too much and instead of being absorbed into the blood and bones, it was being excreted... Have it checked!! I have not had a kidney stone since having the parathyroid removed 1 1/2 years ago.

stone prevention

I used to pass kidney stones about once a year. Five years ago a urologist told me to drink a full cup of water right before going to bed; and if I get up in the night to pass urine, drink another cup then. His reasoning was that the body gets dehydrated at night, and most stones form then. I haven't passed a stone since beginning this practice.

Also five years ago I had just moved to a new home that has very hard well water. I have a theory that the abundant calcium in the water may bond with oxalate in the digestive tract, forming harmless stones there, so that less oxalate reaches the kidneys.

My doctor told me to drink at least a beer a night to flush out the kidneys. More than one doctor's advise. Cheers to the stone
