I have a kidney stone and the pain is excruciating. I
have heard that lemon juice may help. Is this true?
Kidney stones are extremely painful. I do not think
there are many medical disorders that can cause such intensity of pain. You
will first need to take prescription strength pain pills and drink ample water
if you want to get rid of the pain and the stone. Some alternative health
practitioners often recommend drinking a variety of juices to help dissolve
kidney stones. Many juices have been recommended and most anecdotal reports
suggest that lemon juice works the best. You need to drink nearly 2 ounces of
lemon juice mixed with water. Some people also add cider vinegar to this
combination. Others may add orange juice, grapefruit juice or even lime juice.
Now to the facts- I am unable to find any scientific
study that shows lemon juice or any other juice works for kidney stones.
Alternative healthcare practitioners are not real doctors; nor do they have any
bona fide training in the basic sciences. Most cannot differentiate the mouth
from the arse. A kidney stone is like a hard crystal. You know the cement that
is used to build your home, some kidney stones are just as hard. Do you really
believe some darn juice is going to dissolve your home? If you do, you and the
alternative healthcare practitioner are both in need of some serious mental
care.
My advice is simple; you are free to try and drink any
juice you want, you can even add your piss in the combo. If it works, good for
you but my feeling is that you will need to see a real doctor and get some pain
pills, drink lots of water and wait it out. If the stone is large, it may need
to be removed with a variety of devices.
