Kidney stone is by far the most painful experience I've ever had. Drove myself into town in tears. By the time I got to urgent care, two male nurses met me outside the door in the parking lot and had to carry me in. Passing it was brutal. I'm tough, but I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone.
Absolutely agree. Freakin nightmare. It's been 8yrs and I still experience lower back pain from time to time. * I really think it had to do with a lifetime of sodas, fruit drinks and junk food.
My doctor ( urologoist who just gave me lithotripsy a day or two before ) told me to go to the hospital with my pain . He said someone will be there with some great pain meds for you. Got to hospital. He couldnt be found nor anyone with the key to the lock on the frig where the medicine was. I was literally BEATING on the door to get back into the area where that frig was. Had to be pulled away. Cant remember anything more than that.
Omg! I was gonna say lemon juice! I passed a massive stone all alone at home thinking it was my gallbladder because it was such a severe pain with a fever. Boy oh boy. I drank a cup straight of lemon juice in that little lemon bottle followed by 2 liters of water and later that day, boom I pushed...yes pushed, the stone was so big, I had to push the stone out...never seen anything like it and Im a nurse ..I never seen a stone so big. Yes, I got it from working long hard shifts while dehydrated.....but lemon juice definitely works.
As a nurse I’m sure you know that a fever is indicative of an infection. PLEASE see a urologist next time. (though I hope you don’t have a next time ♥️)
O just want to share my experience. My youngest sister 3 month ago had an episode of back pain for kidney stones. She did the 1 cup of volcano lemon juice for a week and everything disappeared. To the third day she was feeling perfect so thank you Dr. Berg 🤗
I have been battling with kidney stones for several months ( I was doing keto). My naturopathic Dr. advised chanka piedra/ lemon essential oil in capsules/ lots of water and avoid dairy. I recently passed a few kidney stones. One of them was 6mm . The pain is worst then childbirth. My problem is I like all the foods you are supposed to avoid.
At the first sign of a kidney stone I didn’t know what was causing the pain, only that it was in my back. I went to the local urgent care center and they said that based on the location of the pain that I probably had a kidney stone. Their prescription was to go home and pass it. So, I went home and began drinking all of the water that I could drink. The pain began moving around my side eventually groin area and eventually it was gone. My suggestion for what to do at the first sign of a stone is to drink all the water that you can to flush it out.
I was told not to try and force it out with liquids as it can cause damage to the urinary tract which can also cause infection. Mine is especially large though.
@@bradwilliams4921 If they didn’t do any imaging, they should’ve referred you to somewhere that did. It’s extremely dangerous to not know what’s go on with respect to size and location of the stone. My suggestion is to see a urologist if it ever happens again.
Mine came on suddenly. Vomiting & kidney pain that took me to the ER. Now I know lemon water daily & cut back in asparagus & spinach. I was eating both daily.
Pain started yesterday around 9 p.m. This girl told me to take ibuprofen and it worked. Within 30 mins I felt better . It allowed me to sleep . At 4 am.pain woke me up again .I didn't have another pain pill near me so I drank the water and did a selfhypnosis video for pain .it help. I felt about 40 percent better. I can't wait till store opens to go buy the suggested remedies. Thank God for this doctor. Keep yall posted. I'm going to do another round selfhypnsois for pain video . I hope it works . Yall this pain is something else!
I just wanna thanks. I watch all of your guides about kidney stones. Especially about oxalates. Been through this for a month and half. I pass the stone with size of a mung bean. Without surgery. But still i have to see urology specialist 2 times for the first 2 weeks. And got some medicine to help the stone pass. Drink a lot of water and drink lemon juice, and controling kind of food with oxalate. I'll remember this. Thanks a lot Dr Berg. Hope you always healthy.
I had my first & only kidney stone in my life 7 years ago at age 53. I created the “perfect storm” for kidney stones. I was eating Protein drinks, Beets, & Cola daily. I took 1tbs lemon juice & olive oil as many times as I could during the stone attack -3-4x’s per day. By the 3rd day I was “unclogged” my ureter. Worst pain ever resolved naturally.
My husband used to get kidney stones regularly but thankfully rarely does now. When he does feel like he has one he increases his lemon water intake and takes Chanca piedra (Phyllanthus niruri) also known as ‘stone breaker’ which has helped immensely, more than anything else he has tried. There are quite a few studies about it to refer to.
Oh! That's why there's a line in a poem that goes like "saxifrage! I am a flower that splits the rocks" I always thought it was in the sense of wild grass growing in the cracks of pavements but now i take it to mean "rocks" as kidney or gall bladder stones.
Can you post what products item or manufacturer who makes it. I'm not sure if it is a liquid, powder, pill, or oil or a plant. When I search the item it has so many.
I am so happy this video showed up in my stream. I started having pain from kidney stones a few days ago. Lot of great information. Thank for this! Not my first time but sure hope its over soon.
ΑCV is what dissolved mine.. never birthed the stone..once, it took the pain away in minutes.. best to take before the stone falls from the kidney along with lemon juice! one of the top remedies! thought it would be recommended in this video
@@beingsshepherd Hi there, well I can't remember exactly, I would take about 2-3 tbsp of unfiltered acv with some water at least x3 (throughout the day), sometimes even more depending on the pain.. I'd usually start with more, until the pain gradually faded within a few days. I'd also drink lemon juices as well.. they work fine too, first time I got a stone I stuck to those since I didn't know of acv.. but acv is more powerful if you can take it, so I combine both remedies.. Never passed an actual hard stone and I've been through this four times. I believe they dissolved as I 'd monitor my pee for a whole week even after the pain went away..lol what I got were the common calcium stones which are easier to break down but it's said to work well on the uric acid stones too Last time, I was feeling some mild familiar pulling back pain which only got stronger bothering me for about an hour.. had run out of acv so I rushed to the kitchen and sipped on some plain filtered vinegar, I could not believe my pain went away after 5 minutes! Saved myself the heating pad that night! You're extremely lucky if you catch it as long as it's still on the kidney, it sure works much faster in dissolving it before the pain kicks :)
@@beingsshepherd Happy to hear it helped you dear, hope it works for you! But I really wish we won't have to go through this ever again! Maybe o bit of acv with our meal daily would be a perfect preventative measure :)
I have had 4 or 5 kidney stones. Extremely painful. During my last stone I learned about lemon juice. That was 6 years ago. I haven’t had a stone since I started drinking lemon aid on a regular basis. Every time I get a little twinge in my back it still scares me thinking another stone. But so far so good. The most important advice is keep your kidneys hydrated!
@@tonzcantclimb I make lemonade from concentrated lemon juice. 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, two tablespoons of sugar, fill glass the rest of the way up with water and ice. The sugar isn’t good for you but lemon juice is too tart. I would suggest if you don’t want the sugar, to just add a few drops of lemon juice to your water every time you have water.
@@wiseguysavant Good, because most doctors only care about their pockets. They’re in the business of “sick care”, not health care. Medical school is funded by the pharmaceutical company. That’s why there are so many “bad” doctors out there.
Dr. Berg, I told my brother to drink more water, since he has bad painful stones, but he said, Dr. Berg said fluids 1:28 He understands "fluids" coffee and Pop, or juice, I don't understand why most of us think that plain water is not "fluid"
I had a kidney stone once. Brutal pain. I googled home remedies for kidney stones. You should see some of the home rems. I thankfully came across lemon juice!! 3 ounces of pure lemon juice. Pain was gone. It'll be my go-to remedy if I get another stone 😲 Edit: that was almost 15 years ago. All dark fruits, veggies are hi in oxalac acid. Blue berries, beets, dark green lettuces, etc.
I’m just getting over a kidney stone and they think it was causing my pancreatitis and it’s been two months and I’m finally getting better from my pancreatitis
@@livdouglas3410 Pretty much just drink water with fresh squeeze lemon and didn’t eat anything except for frozen fruit bars and I was on nausea medication and pain meds non-narcotic but are use the nausea medicine more than the pain meds. But basically I just did lemon water cut out all my sugars bad carbs and change my whole diet and I lost 40 pounds in two months but with pancreatitis you have to be very careful what to eat I eat the very minimum because the pain was so bad I was afraid that it would come back
Thank you for this video Dr Berg . I had no pain and no idea of a kidney stone until my doctor discovered one in a scan I was having done . My very first ever stone . Glad to find out there are signs I can look out for . Thank you .
You please watch Dr. Berg on what you need to change in your daily diet to reverse why you are getting one in the first place. Drinking Lemon juice and Braggs vinegar I make my own -personal - Lemonade using only Stevia - -NEVER USE SUGAR TO SWEETEN ANYTHING. 🎉 !!
I stopped consuming cow's whole milk and drank lots of lemon water when I had to pass a painful kidney stone. Plus switch to less stressful job and living on my own has help.
Just two small wedges of lemon in water daily helps keep to them away. Discovered some foods I may been over consuming 😒 that have high oxalates. I think I will be adding buttermilk onto my salads again, to help prevent stones.
Thanks for this interesting information. Just a precision, if you started a kidney stone crisis with obstruction you should not drink a lot at that moment, otherwise it will make the pressure increase with unbearable pain while the kidney will go on dangerously swelling ... when the crisis recedes, then you can drink again more but cautiously... in the case of milder crisis with smaller stones, non obstructing, then you can drink more ... I have a history of 23 years of kidney stones ( oxalates) and the preventive information in this video is precious. On the curative side, the solution is lithotripsy, breaking the stones by means of shockwaves applied externally, non invasive...
I made the mistake of removing gaulblatter, at 81 , I have no bile.Drs alwas giving me antbiotics. Take bile salts still have hard time eating. UGH! I suffered for 50 years until, Dr Berg told me about bile salts.
The lithropicy bought some relief but I only had one side done. I've noticed an upswing in pain and mild symptoms, this video is most timely. I strongly wish to avoid EVER having another hospital requiring visit!
Also, vitamin D and K2, they help place calcium carbonate in the bones instead of mineral deposits in the kidneys or gallbladder. I have also found that increasing my water intake eliminates UTI’s.
Thank you! I just went to the doctor for a UTI, had about half the kidney stone symptoms. I normally drink 2 liters of water a day, but only drank 2 or 3 cups of water for several days because I was distracted 🤪 Paid for that!
My stones are calcium oxilate. I’ve been told to avoid eating calcium foods at the same time as eating oxilate foods. You’re saying just the opposite. How do I know which is correct method? Confused 🤔
Just went through my first episode of having a kidney stone. It was 6mm. Worst pain ever. I think if this happens again, I'm going straight to the ER because at least they can give you the good pain meds that will last you until get the procedure done. But hopefully, there won't be a next time. I've taken steps to avoid ever getting another stone, one of which is increase daily fluid intake to at least a gallon a day. Also, 4 tbsp of apple cider vinegar a day.
I've apparently just overcome my agonisingly painful calcium oxalate kidney stones, without the dreaded _passing._ Here's what I did: 1) Minimised consumption of oxalate-rich foods (e.g. Tahini, tomatoes, watercress, soy protein isolate, mustard), 2) Applied reusable frozen ice packs to pains and carried them with me in public (alas paracetamol and Ibuprofen did nothing.), 3) Kept meal sizes LOW and thoroughly chewed food small (a stomach *full of food* exacerbated the pain immensely), 4) Took one 100mg capsule of the suggested _Potassium Citrate_ daily for maybe 3 consecutive days (really seems very effective. _Calcium Citrate_ on the other hand, didn't obviously help).
What if we have kidney stones and gallstones, along with GI inflammation and can’t consume lemon juice, citrus, oxalates herbs, and leaky gut, because these will irritate the gut further? What else can we do? Which do we heal first?
Thanks, this was really helpful. I've been doing a Keto diet for a month and started to develop pain in my left kidney. Whoops! I've been eating a dish of raw spinach daily. No wonder I've been craving lemons.
Dr please advise can I see the medical practitioner as I have already pee some stone with small black particles, the pain on my right stomach is itching nicely. Urine is no longer burning for a week now. Please advise Sir.
Dr.Berg I have kidney stone I just want to ask is it OK to drink almond milk? I don’t eat the almond but I want to know if it’s OK to drink the milk I love your program keep up the good work.
What are your thoughts on Chanca Piedra? I have taken this over the last 8 years and I have not had any kidney stones pass, that I could feel, if I recognized it and took the Chanca Piedra right away.
Off topic I know . Can you do a video on how to prevent Urinary tract infections . I have a lot of family members that are getting multiple infections per year ...
Chanca Piedra i found helped me. I found it on youtube and ordered it on amazon. I take one every day as a preventative but while I had my stone I took more. You can take it as a tea as well.
I suffer frequent kidney stones, im a type 1 diabetic and I've had 5 now, weirdly enough none of mine have ever hurt, I've had the whole lower back pain thing and frequent urination but that's really it, I consider myself lucky in this department.
I came down with my second kidney stone last wekeend. Drove myself to the ER and had to vomit a little. I was bawling like a little kid. I wouldnt wish that pain on anyone. I do like to eat almonds every now and then but i do love chocolate lol. I think my most recent stone was caused by drinking too much milk
I remember drinking all that water then the stone blocked off the tube. I was headed to the operating room then just before they came to get me it passed. Talk about pain. 😢
Question: Does paracetamol interfere with sleep? I find it helps me fall asleep more easily, especially when I have a headache, but I invariably wake up exhausted and tired, like I barely slept at all. It's come to the point where I've just stopped taking paracetamol. I no longer trust it. I rather fall asleep with a headache than have something mess with my brain during my sleep.
Good decision. My experince. Go to walk before sleep, or do some stretchings, especially with upper part of the body....close your eyes simetimes during the day and you will feel much better
I just passed 3 stones unassisted and with regular Tylenol back to back over past 6 months. All around 5mm in size. I have one more big one to pass. The thing that spurred the passage of my stones was increasing my water and lemon juice intake from 2 liters/day to MINIMUM 3 liters/day. I am sick of lemon water now, but there is no tasty other options. I gave up coffee, green tea, alcohol and juices because of oxalate levels. This sucks. 😫
I have genetic issues for developing kidney stones. Lots of pain, infections involved through the years. Lithotrypsy and even surgery to remove them. Now I have a 8mm stone that has developed in spite of the suggestions by Dr. Berg. Some people are just going to be a stone manufacturing machine. Those things Dr. Berg lists are all good and I would just also add Vitamin K2 (MK7) which has done more for me than anything. The lemon juice causes very painful acid bumps on my tongue so I have to limit the lemon juice.
Taking a holistic approach, also make sure you are getting enough walking exercise per day. The generally sedentary lifestyle we all have is a significant contributor to the pathway to kidney stones. From personal experience also keep off coffee and vitamin D supplementation if you aren’t hydrating enough too.
For the first time in my 67 years, I now have a kidney stone, 18 mm in size. I began drinking fresh squeezed lemon juice a few weeks ago after watching this video. I am curious to know if it has reduced it in size or not. I am in the process of setting up a date for removal of it at the hospital. I was having the first three symptoms Dr Berg mentioned. I had a routine urine test in October come back indicating something was wrong. But urine cultures were negative for infection. And because my pain was intense around my hip area and not around the kidney, my doctor didn’t think it was a stone. Plus my first ultrasound in November missed it entirely! I also had a constant dull ache in my lower abdomen. I went to a urologist in January. He saw my urinalyses and immediately said the results are really bad and I need to be on antibiotics. He had the ultrasound repeated but at his hospital. That is when the stone was found. There must have been an infection from it, because the antibiotics really helped me to feel better. And the pain in my hip is much better since beginning the lemon juice everyday. So we will see what happens when it is ultrasounded again before its removal. Grateful for the information in this video!
I am half your age but facing the same issue, my stone is 8mm in size. The pain was at the hip area as well. The ultrasound missed it, but luckily the doctor had requested me to do the CT scan because there was blood in urine. It's been 1 month since i diagnosed with kidney stone, now the pain from hip is gone but the blood in urine remain. I will go back to check again to see what happens.
I have never drunk enough water and when I fast, my body has become even more acidic. As a result, I now have gout attacks on my fingers and I feel a little bit pain in my kidneys. I started drinking a lot of water and now I feel much healthier.
When I take vitamin c supplements it usually increases my oxalates because i always notices painful urination afterwards but I should drink more citrates to decrease oxalates?
Yes doctor this video helps a lot because the stuff that I was craving for it's on your list to avoid that's a big help and we'll keep in touch keep up the good job
It can be difficult to drink that much water. so I add Crystal light which actually has citric acid and potassium citrate in it. The raspberry version has more potassium citrate while the lemonade version has more citric acid. If you have a hard time drinking that much water get the raspberry flavored Crystal light and you will be drinking water plus the potassium citrate at the same time 👍
Your body requires a lot of potassium. The daily requirement for potassium is 4700 mg. Potassium is important for the sodium-potassium pump. The sodium-potassium pump is like a battery for your cells. Vegetables are the best source of potassium. One cup of leafy greens provides between 500 and 800 mg of potassium. If you consumed five to ten cups of vegetables daily, you would get plenty of potassium. In comparison, a banana only provides about 300 mg of potassium. Bananas also contain a lot of fructose. Unfortunately, the average person is not getting enough potassium from their diet-and potassium supplements typically only give you up to 99 mg of potassium per tablet. Potassium deficiency is often overlooked. It’s difficult to diagnose, and symptoms of a potassium deficiency are sometimes vague. Early symptoms often include difficulty breathing, fatigue, and heart palpitations. A more severe deficiency in potassium can lead to the following: • High blood pressure • Increased risk of stroke • Fluid retention or edema • Bone loss • Kidney stones Causes of potassium deficiency that go beyond a lack of potassium in the diet can include: • Penicillin • Diuretics • Steroids • Chronic stress • High insulin (high-carb diet) • Refined or processed foods Even the keto diet and prolonged fasting can lead to a potassium deficiency if not done correctly. You will lose potassium as you lose water weight on keto. Consuming enough potassium on keto and taking a potassium supplement while doing a prolonged fast is crucial. Eating too much too quickly after a prolonged fast or consuming too many carbs after a prolonged fast can also cause a severe potassium deficiency, which can be dangerous. My challenge for you is to start consuming a lot of foods high in potassium, like leafy greens, for one week and see how you feel. I think you're going to notice a big difference.
If some kidney stones are made of calcium, Is it fair to say that k2/d3 works like a kidney stone crusher ? Or k2/d3 is only affective on the arteries ?
I've been drinking a lot of water,like 5-6 litres per day as long as I can remember. I don't eat a lot of processed food. I don't drink soda. I work out. Have a normal amount of calcium and uric acid. In short I don't have any condition that could cause a kidney stone, still I got diagnosed with a 3.4mm stone last week 😢😢😢
Would K2, D3 and vit C help in dissolving kidney stones? And is it true that steamed spinach brings up potassium and lowers oxalates? Because right now I cannot take too much calcium as I am anemic and desperately need to bring up my iron. I have had a kidney stone in my left kidney for 10 years now could you do a video on what could happen to someone who has had a kidney stone in their kidney for that many years? They said it's 9 MM.
Drink Chanca Piedra tea. Also drink lemon water every morning on an empty stomach. Should be gone in a few week to months. But please rinse your mouth with baking soda water after the lemon water (do not drink it just swish around your teeth and spit it out)
D3 will increase your blood calcium, and vitamin C produces oxalates as one of it's metabolites, so neither are good for stones, especially D3, but vit C does help the absorption of non heme-iron I think. Why are you eating spinach for iron?! Get heme-iron from animal foods. I passed in 8 mm stone recently; tremendous pain, idk about 9, maybe it's borderline... Disclaimer: This isn't professional advice, just suggestions to think about.
Kidney stones are extremely painful. They won't kill you but you wish they would. For 1.5 days, I had to stand up and lie down every minute because of the pain. And as a result, I did not sleep for those 1.5 days, which made me feel even worse. Then the pharmacy opened, and I got the doctor-prescribed extra-strength painkillers.
What about staghorn kidney stones ? Is there a way to naturally minimize them after they’ve been formed inside? Apparently they are the hardest to rid of and doctor says only way surgery … Please let me know your thoughts :) Thank youu
I had Lithotripsy. Be careful. My blood pressure went through the roof after. Wasnt till after I saw peer reviewed studies online showing Lithotripsy can cause hypertension in 8% of patients. So I'm on blood pressure tablets for how knows long? Maybe forever
Absolutely! I bought Stone Breaker out of sheer desperation. It actually worked for me. That was before I knew of doctor Berg here. I will follow these steps now, and hope to never need it again. But, I have them handy just in case!
Is there in side effects in taking this ? I have renal concretions, is the stone breaker effective in taking out smaller stones ? How much (mg) should be taken ?
Apple cider vinegar for the win. ACV saved my mom from many, many trips to the hospital before she finally decided to change her diet and stop giving her body a reason to suffer in the first place.
@@nunurbusinez8644 I wasnt aware that there was more than one kind of kidney stone. But yes, shes very fortunate, and very grateful that apple cider vinegar helps her. We love that stuff!
@@hepzlawrence7710 definitely dilute it with water, always! Start with 1 tablespoon of ACV, but try to work your way up to 2 tablespoons of it per day... I always use a 16oz cup, put the apple cider vinegar in first, then just fill the rest of the cup with water and I'm good to go, I try to personally drink one of those each day, for various health reasons. It helps me with intermittent fasting, and also keeps my seasonal allergies away. But I've become use to the undesirable flavor of ACV. When I make this drink for other people I usually put a bunch of lemonade in the cup, and then fill to the top with water. Lemonade is a game-changer, it REALLY improves the taste! So I always suggest that people start off that way, just to simply be able to get it down your throat. Oh also, ACV cures a sore throat almost instantly, also heartburn too, that stuff is amazing!! Lastly, I suggest drinking it through a straw, in an effort to keep it from soaking in to your teeth. Vinegar can eat away at the enamel of your teeth if you let it, it's very acidic (which is great for your stomach, but not for your teeth) so I always personally keep a 2nd cup near by of just water. After I drink some ACV I chase that down with plain water, and swish it around in my mouth, just to be safe. And, I am not a doctor, this is not medical advice. But I do hope you'll give it a try. Theres plenty of websites that would have more information on this sort of thing. Good luck, I hope that helped answer your question!
I was on keto diet last year ended up with kidney stone. I went to emergency room and stayed there for few hours. It’s the worse pain I have ever experienced. Recently my family doctor did a ultrasound check on me. She found another (maybe the same stone) kidney stone from my right kidney. I’m so afraid of kidney stone now because of the pain. I stated drinking lemon water and ACV everyday. Try to drink more water. I’m planing to start my keto diet again but at same time worried about my kidney stone will get worse if I start keto.
I really appreciate this video as I need to be on Keto for inflammation and now think I have developed a kidney stone. Yay! One thing I found curious while working on drinking that cup of straight lemon juice was that the site on my shoulder, arm, and hand where I had shingles, and the place on my face and neck where I had no blisters but which continues to be sensitive seem to have fired up. Not sure what that was about but am grateful it didn't last. Thanks for the info, Dr. Berg!
One morning I woke up in blinding pain. It felt like my left ovary was about to explode. It took all my effort to get dressed to go to the ER. They told me I had an ovarian cyst and what was causing the pain was that I also had a kidney stone and the pain traveled to my ovary. After drinking an ocean of water, I passed the stone the next day

Is volcano lemon juice a name brand for organic lemon juice?
Diluted?

Eating has become so confusing. I don’t know what to eat anymore. Geesh!
To keep it simple for a good start: eat eggs, meat and fish.
Thank you! I got what I feel is the most valuable info I have found for my situation. Lithotripsy and 2 months later still w pain. God have mercy!
Peel onions, boil water and leave the peeled onions in the water until cool or overnight. Drink the onion water. Got rid of kidney stones for me.
I have these symptoms today and was just suffering through them. Thank you so much for this guidance!
At the first sign of a kidney stone I didn’t know what was causing the pain, only that it was in my back. I went to the local urgent care center and they said that based on the location of the pain that I probably had a kidney stone. Their prescription was to go home and pass it. So, I went home and began drinking all of the water that I could drink. The pain began moving around my side eventually groin area and eventually it was gone. My suggestion for what to do at the first sign of a stone is to drink all the water that you can to flush it out.
I was told not to try and force it out with liquids as it can cause damage to the urinary tract which can also cause infection. Mine is especially large though.
@@Paige-Turnner that makes sense. Somehow the urgent care I visited must have known or assumed that mine was small.

If they didn’t do any imaging, they should’ve referred you to somewhere that did. It’s extremely dangerous to not know what’s go on with respect to size and location of the stone. My suggestion is to see a urologist if it ever happens again.

I just wanna thanks. I watch all of your guides about kidney stones. Especially about oxalates. Been through this for a month and half. I pass the stone with size of a mung bean. Without surgery. But still i have to see urology specialist 2 times for the first 2 weeks. And got some medicine to help the stone pass. Drink a lot of water and drink lemon juice, and controling kind of food with oxalate. I'll remember this. Thanks a lot Dr Berg. Hope you always healthy.
So glad it has helped!
I had my first & only kidney stone in my life 7 years ago at age 53. I created the “perfect storm” for kidney stones. I was eating Protein drinks, Beets, & Cola daily. I took 1tbs lemon juice & olive oil as many times as I could during the stone attack -3-4x’s per day. By the 3rd day I was “unclogged” my ureter. Worst pain ever resolved naturally.
May I ask. How did you consume the one tablespoon of lemon juice? Did you combine with the olive oil?

My husband used to get kidney stones regularly but thankfully rarely does now. When he does feel like he has one he increases his lemon water intake and takes Chanca piedra (Phyllanthus niruri) also known as ‘stone breaker’ which has helped immensely, more than anything else he has tried. There are quite a few studies about it to refer to.
Oh! That's why there's a line in a poem that goes like "saxifrage! I am a flower that splits the rocks"
I always thought it was in the sense of wild grass growing in the cracks of pavements but now i take it to mean "rocks" as kidney or gall bladder stones.
Awesome!
I try it. Where do you get from. Looking for organic quality
Can you post what products item or manufacturer who makes it. I'm not sure if it is a liquid, powder, pill, or oil or a plant. When I search the item it has so many.
I think it comes in liquid or pill form. Be careful about buying it in an alcohol base, as that tends to destroy it's effects.

I am so happy this video showed up in my stream. I started having pain from kidney stones a few days ago. Lot of great information. Thank for this! Not my first time but sure hope its over soon.
Thank you for this. Any thoughts on Chanca Piedra supplement?
ΑCV is what dissolved mine.. never birthed the stone..once, it took the pain away in minutes.. best to take before the stone falls from the kidney along with lemon juice!
one of the top remedies! thought it would be recommended in this video
What was the size of acv dosage?
@@beingsshepherd Hi there, well I can't remember exactly, I would take about 2-3 tbsp of unfiltered acv with some water at least x3 (throughout the day), sometimes even more depending on the pain.. I'd usually start with more, until the pain gradually faded within a few days.
I'd also drink lemon juices as well.. they work fine too, first time I got a stone I stuck to those since I didn't know of acv.. but acv is more powerful if you can take it, so I combine both remedies..
Never passed an actual hard stone and I've been through this four times. I believe they dissolved as I 'd monitor my pee for a whole week even after the pain went away..lol
what I got were the common calcium stones which are easier to break down but it's said to work well on the uric acid stones too
Last time, I was feeling some mild familiar pulling back pain which only got stronger bothering me for about an hour.. had run out of acv so I rushed to the kitchen and sipped on some plain filtered vinegar, I could not believe my pain went away after 5 minutes! Saved myself the heating pad that night! You're extremely lucky if you catch it as long as it's still on the kidney, it sure works much faster in dissolving it before the pain kicks :)
@@mialargo9388 That's very helpful (and comforting).
Thank you Mia.
@@beingsshepherd Happy to hear it helped you dear, hope it works for you! But I really wish we won't have to go through this ever again!
Maybe o bit of acv with our meal daily would be a perfect preventative measure :)
I have had 4 or 5 kidney stones. Extremely painful. During my last stone I learned about lemon juice. That was 6 years ago. I haven’t had a stone since I started drinking lemon aid on a regular basis. Every time I get a little twinge in my back it still scares me thinking another stone. But so far so good. The most important advice is keep your kidneys hydrated!
Lemon diluted in water? Just lemon water or did you add something?
@@tonzcantclimb I make lemonade from concentrated lemon juice. 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, two tablespoons of sugar, fill glass the rest of the way up with water and ice. The sugar isn’t good for you but lemon juice is too tart. I would suggest if you don’t want the sugar, to just add a few drops of lemon juice to your water every time you have water.
I've passed so many my left side stays tender all the time. If someone touches me there I jump. Dehydration is the main cause of them.

Dr. Berg, I told my brother to drink more water, since he has bad painful stones, but he said, Dr. Berg said fluids 1:28 He understands "fluids" coffee and Pop, or juice, I don't understand why most of us think that plain water is not "fluid"
I had a kidney stone once. Brutal pain. I googled home remedies for kidney stones. You should see some of the home rems. I thankfully came across lemon juice!! 3 ounces of pure lemon juice. Pain was gone. It'll be my go-to remedy if I get another stone 😲
Edit: that was almost 15 years ago. All dark fruits, veggies are hi in oxalac acid. Blue berries, beets, dark green lettuces, etc.
Stone formation is probably exacerbated by our generally sedentary lifestyle and then the lack of significant hydration because of that.

Thank you for this video Dr Berg . I had no pain and no idea of a kidney stone until my doctor discovered one in a scan I was having done . My very first ever stone . Glad to find out there are signs I can look out for . Thank you .
How big?
You please watch Dr. Berg on what you need to change in your daily diet to reverse why you are getting one in the first place.

then why dosent he address this???? for kidney stones?? GET YOUR CALCIUM LEVELS CHECKED AND YOUR PARATHYROID CHECKED
I'm a fan, but I'm wondering if you're going to add a disclaimer to your older "smoothie" videos, which recommended spinach.
Just two small wedges of lemon in water daily helps keep to them away. Discovered some foods I may been over consuming 😒 that have high oxalates. I think I will be adding buttermilk onto my salads again, to help prevent stones.
Thanks for this interesting information. Just a precision, if you started a kidney stone crisis with obstruction you should not drink a lot at that moment, otherwise it will make the pressure increase with unbearable pain while the kidney will go on dangerously swelling ... when the crisis recedes, then you can drink again more but cautiously... in the case of milder crisis with smaller stones, non obstructing, then you can drink more ... I have a history of 23 years of kidney stones ( oxalates) and the preventive information in this video is precious. On the curative side, the solution is lithotripsy, breaking the stones by means of shockwaves applied externally, non invasive...
I made the mistake of removing gaulblatter, at 81 , I have no bile.Drs alwas giving me antbiotics. Take bile salts still have hard time eating. UGH! I suffered for 50 years until, Dr Berg told me about bile salts.
Phoso food by standard process
The lithropicy bought some relief but I only had one side done. I've noticed an upswing in pain and mild symptoms, this video is most timely. I strongly wish to avoid EVER having another hospital requiring visit!
You actually are the best.
Also, vitamin D and K2, they help place calcium carbonate in the bones instead of mineral deposits in the kidneys or gallbladder.
I have also found that increasing my water intake eliminates UTI’s.
Thank you for such valuable information, Dr. Berg!
Very glad to be of help.
Thank you! I just went to the doctor for a UTI, had about half the kidney stone symptoms. I normally drink 2 liters of water a day, but only drank 2 or 3 cups of water for several days because I was distracted 🤪
Paid for that!
is apple vinegar cider good?
Yes, it's good coz apple cider vinegar is a good source of citric acid.
Yes
My stones are calcium oxilate. I’ve been told to avoid eating calcium foods at the same time as eating oxilate foods. You’re saying just the opposite. How do I know which is correct method? Confused 🤔
Just went through my first episode of having a kidney stone. It was 6mm. Worst pain ever. I think if this happens again, I'm going straight to the ER because at least they can give you the good pain meds that will last you until get the procedure done. But hopefully, there won't be a next time. I've taken steps to avoid ever getting another stone, one of which is increase daily fluid intake to at least a gallon a day. Also, 4 tbsp of apple cider vinegar a day.
I had kidney stones removed many years ago as a female. I’ll try to drink more water each day.
I've apparently just overcome my agonisingly painful calcium oxalate kidney stones, without the dreaded _passing._
Here's what I did:
1) Minimised consumption of oxalate-rich foods (e.g. Tahini, tomatoes, watercress, soy protein isolate, mustard), 2) Applied reusable frozen ice packs to pains and carried them with me in public (alas paracetamol and Ibuprofen did nothing.), 3) Kept meal sizes LOW and thoroughly chewed food small (a stomach *full of food* exacerbated the pain immensely), 4) Took one 100mg capsule of the suggested _Potassium Citrate_ daily for maybe 3 consecutive days (really seems very effective. _Calcium Citrate_ on the other hand, didn't obviously help).

What if we have kidney stones and gallstones, along with GI inflammation and can’t consume lemon juice, citrus, oxalates herbs, and leaky gut, because these will irritate the gut further? What else can we do? Which do we heal first?

Thanks, this was really helpful. I've been doing a Keto diet for a month and started to develop pain in my left kidney. Whoops! I've been eating a dish of raw spinach daily. No wonder I've been craving lemons.

Dr.Berg I have kidney stone I just want to ask is it OK to drink almond milk? I don’t eat the almond but I want to know if it’s OK to drink the milk I love your program keep up the good work.

Good morning
What are your thoughts on Chanca Piedra? I have taken this over the last 8 years and I have not had any kidney stones pass, that I could feel, if I recognized it and took the Chanca Piedra right away.
It’s excellent!
Awesome Dr. Berg, ✌️
Wonderful information, thank you for sharing 🙏
Lemons are amazing.👌
Glad you found it useful!
Off topic I know . Can you do a video on how to prevent Urinary tract infections . I have a lot of family members that are getting multiple infections per year ...
Chanca Piedra i found helped me. I found it on youtube and ordered it on amazon. I take one every day as a preventative but while I had my stone I took more. You can take it as a tea as well.
I suffer frequent kidney stones, im a type 1 diabetic and I've had 5 now, weirdly enough none of mine have ever hurt, I've had the whole lower back pain thing and frequent urination but that's really it, I consider myself lucky in this department.
What is the alternate of lemon juice i m allergic to lemon and citrus my throat hurts when i eat sore.
I came down with my second kidney stone last wekeend. Drove myself to the ER and had to vomit a little. I was bawling like a little kid. I wouldnt wish that pain on anyone. I do like to eat almonds every now and then but i do love chocolate lol. I think my most recent stone was caused by drinking too much milk
After taking lemon juice in one go then 2 litre water shohld be taken immediately after lemon juice ???
You are a good guy! The world needs men like you.
Hello Dr. ERic how many days to take Lemon juice a day? thanks in advance.
1 cup.
I remember drinking all that water then the stone blocked off the tube. I was headed to the operating room then just before they came to get me it passed. Talk about pain. 😢
Question: Does paracetamol interfere with sleep? I find it helps me fall asleep more easily, especially when I have a headache, but I invariably wake up exhausted and tired, like I barely slept at all.
It's come to the point where I've just stopped taking paracetamol. I no longer trust it. I rather fall asleep with a headache than have something mess with my brain during my sleep.
Good decision. My experince.
Go to walk before sleep, or do some stretchings, especially with upper part of the body....close your eyes simetimes during the day and you will feel much better
Paracetamol with or without caffeine?
I just passed 3 stones unassisted and with regular Tylenol back to back over past 6 months. All around 5mm in size. I have one more big one to pass. The thing that spurred the passage of my stones was increasing my water and lemon juice intake from 2 liters/day to MINIMUM 3 liters/day. I am sick of lemon water now, but there is no tasty other options. I gave up coffee, green tea, alcohol and juices because of oxalate levels. This sucks. 😫

I have genetic issues for developing kidney stones. Lots of pain, infections involved through the years. Lithotrypsy and even surgery to remove them. Now I have a 8mm stone that has developed in spite of the suggestions by Dr. Berg. Some people are just going to be a stone manufacturing machine. Those things Dr. Berg lists are all good and I would just also add Vitamin K2 (MK7) which has done more for me than anything. The lemon juice causes very painful acid bumps on my tongue so I have to limit the lemon juice.

No, those are high in oxalates
Taking a holistic approach, also make sure you are getting enough walking exercise per day. The generally sedentary lifestyle we all have is a significant contributor to the pathway to kidney stones. From personal experience also keep off coffee and vitamin D supplementation if you aren’t hydrating enough too.
Thanks for your comment. Have a nice day!
For the first time in my 67 years, I now have a kidney stone, 18 mm in size. I began drinking fresh squeezed lemon juice a few weeks ago after watching this video. I am curious to know if it has reduced it in size or not. I am in the process of setting up a date for removal of it at the hospital. I was having the first three symptoms Dr Berg mentioned. I had a routine urine test in October come back indicating something was wrong. But urine cultures were negative for infection. And because my pain was intense around my hip area and not around the kidney, my doctor didn’t think it was a stone. Plus my first ultrasound in November missed it entirely! I also had a constant dull ache in my lower abdomen. I went to a urologist in January. He saw my urinalyses and immediately said the results are really bad and I need to be on antibiotics. He had the ultrasound repeated but at his hospital. That is when the stone was found. There must have been an infection from it, because the antibiotics really helped me to feel better. And the pain in my hip is much better since beginning the lemon juice everyday. So we will see what happens when it is ultrasounded again before its removal. Grateful for the information in this video!
I am half your age but facing the same issue, my stone is 8mm in size. The pain was at the hip area as well. The ultrasound missed it, but luckily the doctor had requested me to do the CT scan because there was blood in urine. It's been 1 month since i diagnosed with kidney stone, now the pain from hip is gone but the blood in urine remain. I will go back to check again to see what happens.
May we have an update please Sandra?
I have never drunk enough water and when I fast, my body has become even more acidic. As a result, I now have gout attacks on my fingers and I feel a little bit pain in my kidneys. I started drinking a lot of water and now I feel much healthier.
Fasting spikes uric acid; that's been proven.
When I take vitamin c supplements it usually increases my oxalates because i always notices painful urination afterwards but I should drink more citrates to decrease oxalates?
Yes doctor this video helps a lot because the stuff that I was craving for it's on your list to avoid that's a big help and we'll keep in touch keep up the good job
Very glad to be of help.
Thank you Dr Berg 👍🏾
You're welcome, Georgina!
I love Berberene !! 😊 it helps so many things !!! Thanks Dr
It can be difficult to drink that much water. so I add Crystal light which actually has citric acid and potassium citrate in it. The raspberry version has more potassium citrate while the lemonade version has more citric acid. If you have a hard time drinking that much water get the raspberry flavored Crystal light and you will be drinking water plus the potassium citrate at the same time 👍
Execellent! This is the video I've been waiting for. ❤ Thank you.
How many mg of potassium citrate do you recommend? I'm seeing everything from 99mg to 275mg.
Your body requires a lot of potassium. The daily requirement for potassium is 4700 mg.
Potassium is important for the sodium-potassium pump. The sodium-potassium pump is like a battery for your cells.
Vegetables are the best source of potassium. One cup of leafy greens provides between 500 and 800 mg of potassium. If you consumed five to ten cups of vegetables daily, you would get plenty of potassium. In comparison, a banana only provides about 300 mg of potassium. Bananas also contain a lot of fructose.
Unfortunately, the average person is not getting enough potassium from their diet-and potassium supplements typically only give you up to 99 mg of potassium per tablet.
Potassium deficiency is often overlooked. It’s difficult to diagnose, and symptoms of a potassium deficiency are sometimes vague. Early symptoms often include difficulty breathing, fatigue, and heart palpitations.
A more severe deficiency in potassium can lead to the following:
• High blood pressure
• Increased risk of stroke
• Fluid retention or edema
• Bone loss
• Kidney stones
Causes of potassium deficiency that go beyond a lack of potassium in the diet can include:
• Penicillin
• Diuretics
• Steroids
• Chronic stress
• High insulin (high-carb diet)
• Refined or processed foods
Even the keto diet and prolonged fasting can lead to a potassium deficiency if not done correctly. You will lose potassium as you lose water weight on keto. Consuming enough potassium on keto and taking a potassium supplement while doing a prolonged fast is crucial.
Eating too much too quickly after a prolonged fast or consuming too many carbs after a prolonged fast can also cause a severe potassium deficiency, which can be dangerous.
My challenge for you is to start consuming a lot of foods high in potassium, like leafy greens, for one week and see how you feel. I think you're going to notice a big difference.
Thank you very much. Please can you do a gall bladder one if it has not been covered. Thank you again

If some kidney stones are made of calcium, Is it fair to say that k2/d3 works like a kidney stone crusher ?
Or k2/d3 is only affective on the arteries ?
You're right

@@عبداللهأيمن-و8و
You should consult a urologist or nephrologist.
Boron helps with calcium metabolism so hopefully calcium wouldn't be used in stone formation but, rather, bone formation.
I've been drinking a lot of water,like 5-6 litres per day as long as I can remember. I don't eat a lot of processed food. I don't drink soda. I work out. Have a normal amount of calcium and uric acid. In short I don't have any condition that could cause a kidney stone, still I got diagnosed with a 3.4mm stone last week 😢😢😢
Have you tried Increasing Fiber?
Would K2, D3 and vit C help in dissolving kidney stones? And is it true that steamed spinach brings up potassium and lowers oxalates? Because right now I cannot take too much calcium as I am anemic and desperately need to bring up my iron. I have had a kidney stone in my left kidney for 10 years now could you do a video on what could happen to someone who has had a kidney stone in their kidney for that many years? They said it's 9 MM.
Order from your God to cure you

Drink Chanca Piedra tea. Also drink lemon water every morning on an empty stomach. Should be gone in a few week to months. But please rinse your mouth with baking soda water after the lemon water (do not drink it just swish around your teeth and spit it out)
@@は私です彼の名前
Spit?
Can you tell me what are the meanings of spit and spot and spit out ,rinse
What are the meanings these?
D3 will increase your blood calcium, and vitamin C produces oxalates as one of it's metabolites, so neither are good for stones, especially D3, but vit C does help the absorption of non heme-iron I think. Why are you eating spinach for iron?! Get heme-iron from animal foods.

Apple cider vinegar for the win. ACV saved my mom from many, many trips to the hospital before she finally decided to change her diet and stop giving her body a reason to suffer in the first place.
Well then she was incredibly fortunate to have the kind of stones that respond to ACV, wasn’t she?
@@nunurbusinez8644 I wasnt aware that there was more than one kind of kidney stone. But yes, shes very fortunate, and very grateful that apple cider vinegar helps her. We love that stuff!
@@KtCleansAlot how much did she take per day and she dilute it with water?
@@hepzlawrence7710 definitely dilute it with water, always!
Start with 1 tablespoon of ACV, but try to work your way up to 2 tablespoons of it per day... I always use a 16oz cup, put the apple cider vinegar in first, then just fill the rest of the cup with water and I'm good to go, I try to personally drink one of those each day, for various health reasons. It helps me with intermittent fasting, and also keeps my seasonal allergies away. But I've become use to the undesirable flavor of ACV. When I make this drink for other people I usually put a bunch of lemonade in the cup, and then fill to the top with water. Lemonade is a game-changer, it REALLY improves the taste! So I always suggest that people start off that way, just to simply be able to get it down your throat. Oh also, ACV cures a sore throat almost instantly, also heartburn too, that stuff is amazing!!
Lastly, I suggest drinking it through a straw, in an effort to keep it from soaking in to your teeth. Vinegar can eat away at the enamel of your teeth if you let it, it's very acidic (which is great for your stomach, but not for your teeth) so I always personally keep a 2nd cup near by of just water. After I drink some ACV I chase that down with plain water, and swish it around in my mouth, just to be safe. And, I am not a doctor, this is not medical advice. But I do hope you'll give it a try. Theres plenty of websites that would have more information on this sort of thing. Good luck, I hope that helped answer your question!
@@KtCleansAlot is there a time frame on when you start seeing/feel results?
I was on keto diet last year ended up with kidney stone. I went to emergency room and stayed there for few hours. It’s the worse pain I have ever experienced. Recently my family doctor did a ultrasound check on me. She found another (maybe the same stone) kidney stone from my right kidney. I’m so afraid of kidney stone now because of the pain. I stated drinking lemon water and ACV everyday. Try to drink more water. I’m planing to start my keto diet again but at same time worried about my kidney stone will get worse if I start keto.

One morning I woke up in blinding pain. It felt like my left ovary was about to explode. It took all my effort to get dressed to go to the ER. They told me I had an ovarian cyst and what was causing the pain was that I also had a kidney stone and the pain traveled to my ovary. After drinking an ocean of water, I passed the stone the next day
