- Use fresh pineapple juice. Buy 7 whole pineapples, juice and drink one daily for a week. This works for liver and gallstones, and I'm sure that it will work for kidney stones, too.http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1755…
- I don't know about dissolving them, but fiber is key in helping to prevent them. Fiber attaches itself to other things in the body and helps them "out", because most fiber does not break down and digest. It is recommended that most healthy people get 25-35 grams of fiber per day. Most people don't even get half of the minimum. Men should be on the upper echelon of that number.
- Pure cranberry juice for sure. Good luck.
- To pass stones or cleanse your liver, kidneys or gallbladder, go to www.curezone.com & follow Dr. Hulda's advice ... here's the link directly to the info on Kidney Cleasing. I've done the Liver/Gallbladder cleanse & it works wonders! I've done it more than once & I would follow any cleanse recommended by Dr. Hulda! I know other Dr's that recommend these cleasnses as well. http://curezone.com/cleanse/kidney/defau…
- During an acute episode of passing a stone, drinking warm water to which you've added liquid extract of wild yam can help calm muscular spasms of the ureter, allowing the stone to pass more easily.
Vitamin B6 and magnesium are key nutrients for preventing the formation of calcium stones, by far the most common kind. Magnesium reduces calcium absorption and lowers urinary oxalate. B6 works well with magnesium. Stone formation is associated with a deficiency of both these nutrients. Magnesium also makes it easier for the body to dissolve calcium oxalate (one form of calcium found in stones).
A daily tablespoonful of flaxseed oil or of flaxseeds themselves can be added to your salad or to a fruit smoothie. If you're using the seeds, you will need to grind them fresh each day. Flaxseed can help reduce the amount of calcium in the urine.
Taking zinc inhibits the crystallization of minerals carried in the urine. (Zinc taken for the long term should be combined with copper.)
Cranberry, taken as juice or in capsules, acts to acidify urine and reduces the amount of ionized calcium in the urine, so is helpful to prevent both oxalate and uric acid stones from forming. You can also accomplish the same effect by drinking the juice of one lemon (diluted in water) each morning.
Traditionally, most doctors used to recommend restricting calcium intake for anyone prone to stones composed of calcium. But there is evidence that increasing calcium via supplements--for example, by taking calcium citrate--reduces stone formation by binding oxalate in the intestine so that it's not absorbed into the urine.
Vitamin A in higher than normal doses is used during the week or so after the passage of a stone to help heal the mucous membrane lining of the ureter. After about a week, reducing the dose of vitamin A to a maintenance level helps discourage stone formation. However, try to increase your overall consumption of vitamin A-rich foods instead, including apricots, cantaloupe, carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash.
Drink lots of water. To help prevent recurrences, drink at least three quarts of water per day--more in hot, humid weather. If your urine is not virtually colorless, you're not drinking enough water.
Reduce foods high in oxalate. Eat a healthy, balanced diet, but take it easy on asparagus, beets, beet greens, spinach, nuts, rhubarb, chocolate, and cola beverages.
Eat less meat. If you are a heavy meat eater, try to reduce your overall intake of animal protein. It encourages the body to excrete calcium, phosphorus, and uric acid in the kidneys.
Actually, the very best diet to prevent kidney stones is a basically a vegetarian one, high in a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and void of animal protein and processed foods, with plenty of fresh water, juices and herbal teas.
Increase your potassium intake. Foods that contain potassium include bananas, orange juice, fresh fruit and vegetables. Low blood levels of potassium reduces levels of urinary citrate, which in turn raises levels of urine calcium. Like zinc, potassium is a potent inhibitor of calcium crystallization.
Get more magnesium in your diet. Many vegetables, grains, and fruits contain magnesium, including almonds, peanuts, brown rice, avocado, papaya, and prunes.
If your stone was found to be uric acid, avoid organ meats, sardines, anchovies, and brewer's yeast. All of these are high in purines, which can elevate the uric acid in your blood and contribute to this type of stone formation.

I've heard lemons are very good for dissolving and breaking up any items in your kidneys. I've heard that if you mix lemons with water and drink it, it's very good for you. Lemons are acidic but in a good way and dissolve anything going through your system even kidneystones. I read this in a book published by a doctor who was imprisoned by the AMA for revealing all these homeopathic remedies that was putting the medical industry out of business. No lie. - Is It A Kidney Infection, Kidney Stones Or Just A Bladder Infection?

Kidney stone prevention
All individuals who have experienced kidney stones should take some specific preventive measures to prevent recurrence. The following are some general observations:
• The most important dietary recommendations for reducing the risk for calcium stones are increasing fluid intake, restricting sodium, and reducing protein intake.
• A lower risk for calcium stones is also associated with higher potassium intake.
• A high calcium diet does not appear to increase the risk for kidney stones as long as it also contains plenty of fluids and dietary potassium and phosphate. (Increasing calcium alone may pose a modest risk for stones.)
• Patients should try to correct any dietary habits that cause acidic or alkaline imbalances in the urine that promote stone formation.
Because kidney stone types may require specific dietary changes, patients should work with their physicians to develop an individualized plan. It should be stressed that nutritional considerations are very important in preventing recurrence, and patients should be vigilant in complying with the proper diet.
Fluids (Water, Juice, and Other Beverages)
Good voiding habits, particularly frequent urination, is important. Therefore, of all the preventive recommendations, drinking enough fluid is the most important guideline for people with any type of kidney stones.
• In general, patients with calcium or uric acid stones should drink at least 10 full glasses of fluid each day (at least half should be water). This includes one with each meal and drinking fluids at night, even if it means getting up from sleep. Fluid intake should produce at least two and a half quarts of urine each day.
• More water (over a gallon, or 16 8-ounce cups, every day) is needed to prevent cystine stones, and it must be drunk at regular intervals throughout the night and day.
In all cases, more fluid is needed after exertion and during times of stress. If fluid intake is sufficient, the urine should be pale and almost watery, not dark and yellow.
Water. Although water is best, it may vary depending on its source. Variations in water itself may have different impacts. One study reported that drinking hard tap water increased urinary calcium concentration by 50% compared to soft bottled water. On the other hand, mineral water containing both calcium and magnesium may reduce several risk factors for both calcium and uric acid stone formation.
Juices and Specific Effects.
Other beverages have various positive or negative effects, depending on the type of stone:
• Lemon Juice. Drinking one-half cup of pure lemon juice (enough to make eight glasses of lemonade) every day raises citrate levels in the urine, which might protect against calcium stones. (While orange juice also increases citrate levels, it does not lower calcium and it raises oxalate levels. It is, therefore, not recommended.)
• Cranberry and Apple Juice. Apple and cranberry juice contain oxalates, and both have been associated with a higher risk for risk for calcium oxalate stones. Cranberry juice has properties that may increase the risk for both calcium oxalate and uric acid stones.
• On the other hand, cranberry juice helps prevent urinary tract infections and so may be helpful for reducing the risk for struvite and brushite stones. (These stones are far less common, however.)
• Blackcurrent Juice. In one study, blackcurrent juice reduced acidity and was associated with protection against uric acid stones.
• Grapefruit Juice. A number of studies have found a risk for stones from drinking grapefruit juice. In one study, just one 8-ounce cup of grapefruit juice per day increased the risk for forming stones by 44%.
Other Beverages and Their Effects on Stone Formation.
• Soft Drinks. Cola can severely reduce citrate in the urine and should be avoided. Many soft drinks contain phosphoric acid, which increases the risk for stones. Some research shows that drinking one quart (less than three 12-ounce cans) of soda per week may increase a person's risk of developing stones by 15%.
• Alcohol. Wine may be protective against kidney stones. A study conducted in Finland, however, suggests that the risk of developing stones decreases with beer consumption. It should be noted that beer is high in oxalates. Beer and other alcoholic beverages also contain purines, which may increase the specific risk for the less common uric acid stones in susceptible people. Binge drinking, in any case, increases uric acid and the risk for stones
• Coffee and Tea. Some research as reported a lower risk for stones with tea and both regular and decaffeinated coffee.
Low-Salt and Low-Protein Diets
In a long-term 2002 study of men with calcium oxalate stones and high levels of urinary calcium, a low-sodium, low-protein diet containing normal levels of calcium dramatically reduced the recurrence of stones compared to a diet that was simply low in calcium.
Salt Restriction. Because salt intake - Do I Have Kidney Stones/infection?
It could be a kidney stone. If you go to the hospital instead of your regular doctor they can find out right then and there. They will give you an ultrasound or CT scan which is a painless procedure to see if you have a stone. They will also give you some Morphine which will take away the pain. If it is a stone and it is small. You will be drinking a lot of water to get the stone to pass through your system. If it is to big then there are other methods they can use. Error on the side of caution and go to the hospital.
