=============================

Today's question for "Kidney Stone Alternatives" is a commonly asked question and a very common problem these days, yet the traditional westernized medical profession hasn't a clue how to truly ease a patients pain or to prevent kidney stones without painful surgery or lithotripsy. I'm giving you what I know to work in more than 100% of people when they have adhered to these suggestions.

I answer all health questions to the best of my ability using what I gleaned from 20-years as a Medical Office Nurse and Administrator along with my education in nutritional and alternative modes along with my friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland for many years now. I am not a doctor and you should not think of me as one. Just lived many years while observing the life and health of many in the world around me and the contradictions of the traditional medical world's idea of treating and watching those same schooled methods that weren't relieving illness and creating far more than they helped and people weren't told how to get healthy or prevent illness so I looked for something to change that premise and found and continue to find alternatives that really work when adhered to...

Thought is appropriate to address the problem of negativity!

QUESTION:
 
I am plagued by kidney stones from time to time and end up in ER and hospitalization, which I hate. Are there any alternative methods of dissolving kidney stones  and flushing the kidneys that you would recommend, including natural pain relievers, rather than traditional chemicals that kill our liver cells.  The last time I had kidney stones, I was cut open from side to side. This time, I want to be able to reduce the pain, flush the kidneys, and dissolve the kidney stones at the same time, if that is possible.

ANSWER:
 
I am publishing this one question but I continue to receive several inquiries monthly and has become a rather popular question! The nice part is that I get call backs telling me how successful my suggestions were in keeping them out of ER and/or the doctor's office. Too bad traditional medicine can't truly treat problems...
 
Kidney stones all have one thing in common; they start from a microscopically small acid crystal and grow slowly. Most people who have stones live a more sedentary life, which I believe is one good reason to make sure exercise is a daily ritual.
 
Different conditions cause the formation of stones and they are; calcium (hypercalciuria), oxalate (hyperoxaluria), or uric acid (hyperuricosuria) in the urine; a lack of citrate in the urine; or insufficient water in the kidneys to dissolve waste products. The kidneys must maintain an adequate amount of water in the body to remove waste products. People who drink alcohol on a daily basis or fail to drink sufficient water daily tend to suffer more kidney stones. Alcohol creates dehydration. Yes, that seems impossible given that it is liquid but the contents cause the body to rid itself of fluids creating dehydration. If dehydration occurs, high levels of substances that do not dissolve completely (e.g., calcium, oxalate, uric acid) may form crystals that slowly build up into kidney stones. The four most common types of stones are comprised of calcium, uric acid, struvite and cystine.
 
Calcium; 70% of all Kidney stones are Calcium stones, composed of calcium that is chemically bound to oxalate (calcium oxalate) or phosphate (calcium phosphate). Of these, calcium oxalate is more common. Calcium phosphate stones typically occur in patients with metabolic or hormonal disorders such as hyperparathyroidism and renal tubular acidosis. 
 
Uric acid; Approximately 10% of stones. The digestion of protein produces uric acid and when the acid level in the urine is high or too much acid is excreted, the uric acid may not dissolve and uric acid stones may form, which are more common in men. This Uric Acid buildup is often caused by a bad diet, high in animal foods which contain tons of uric acid along with processed foods, junk foods and alcohol consumption.

Struvite; Struvite stones are more common in women because they have urinary tract infections more often. The stones usually develop as jagged structures called "staghorns" and can grow to be quite large.

Cystine; Cystine is an amino acid in protein that does not dissolve well. Rare, but some people inherit a rare, congenital condition that results in large amounts of cystine in the urine. This condition (called cystinuria) causes cystine stones that are difficult to treat and may require life-long therapy and adhereing to stiff diet restrictions.
 
The most common traditional treatments for kidney stones are:
 
1) Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is the clinical procedure by which kidney stones are broken up (crushed) with acoustic shock waves. The shock waves are generated outside the body and focused onto the kidney stones. Although SWL is very popular, there is growing evidence that lithotripsy shock waves cause acute damage to the kidney and that some patients suffer long-term complications following SWL.  I believe SWL should only be used when a stone is stuck and not passing with other measures tried. Surgery removal, as a last resort!
 
2) Holmium Laser; a holmium laser is able to break up kidney stones of all types with 100% effectiveness. Side effects not yet known!
 
3) Analgesics (pain meds) and fluids, which is used in a waiting for passing mode!
 
Non-Traditional Natural healthy alternative treatment:
 
Most immediate natural relief and help with dissolving of a stone is a special juice;
 
Beet/Apple Juice
 
Proven many times over to work fast and help move stones out of the body without pain; 8-10 beets juiced! Juice from 2 apples (any kind but preferably a red one) Some people add 1 Tablespoon of White Vinegar, but it's not necessary except with Cystine stones! Drink a minimum 8 ounce glass two or three times a day! When in the throes of painful stone attack as much as 24 ounces of beet/apple juice can be tolerated immediately? Since this works quite fast pain relievers will usually not take effect before the juice does but if you wish to try a natural pain reliever, Solaray has one called Relief Blend SP-10 found at your health food store or any store that carry Solaray brand herbal supplements or Dr. Wayne Garland's Structural Lubrication Formula pain and inflammation reliever. A loading dose of both of these will be required. 4-6 of the Solaray or 8 of the Structural will do it but as I said they will take time to become effective and the juice will relieve the stones therefore relieving the pain faster...
 
If chronic stone builder you might want to go with a Flush to expel all types of stones that may already exist in your organs just waiting to give you pain? The flush that I'm aware of and know it has worked for friends I've put online because of it's length Click here for flushing instructions then proceed with prevention thereafter!
 
Prevention is always best:
 
Best forms of prevention; daily drinking plenty of filtered/purified water, staying away from alcohol, dairy products and meats, especially luncheon meats and adding more fruits and vegetable. Animal food is very high in calcium, but also very high in protein. When you consume it, as part of the digestive process of any high protein food, you often end up excreting out more calcium as your body attempts to utilize all this protein. All this calcium pouring out of your blood and flooding through your Kidneys actually overloads your Kidneys with Calcium.

Good Luck,
Lena

MORE LIGHT AND LESS NOISE

A great story from one of America's greatest story-tellers, Abraham Lincoln, was related by the president during those anxious days of the American Civil War. A delegation of well-meaning patriots tried to impress upon the president the gravity of the war. They implied that his administration was neither as wise nor good as it ought  to be. He listened carefully, then responded with a memorable anecdote.

He told them that he once had a neighbor who found himself in a tight situation. He was traveling home one dark and rainy night. There were few bridges in the country and he came to a stream that he would have to ford. But because of the darkness and the rain, he couldn't see well enough to know just where to cross.

Lightning flashed and he saw his way for the briefest moment. But the man was perplexed because there seemed to be more thunder than lightning. He was convinced that every lightning flash was followed by several loud peals of thunder. The poor man just stood at the edge of the stream in his confusion about how to proceed. He finally prayed, "O Lord, if it is just the same to you, give me more light and less noise."
 
The delegation clearly got the point that the president needed more solutions and less complaining - more light and less noise.

Some people are more like light and others are more like noise.

Some people shed light on solutions. Others only make a din about the way things are.

Some people help us to see the situation more clearly. Others just sound off about who's to blame.

Some people show a better way. Others clamor about the present course of action.

Some people offer to help. Others wail about the problem.

The sun rises every morning and sheds light, vanquishing the night's darkness. The rooster also rises every morning and makes noise, which does nothing about the darkness.

How could things be different if you were more like the sun than the rooster? What if you decided today to contribute to the light?
