Easy Pass
An HSI member named John writes: "Forty-six years ago I was having to pass a kidney stone about once a month."
No doubt, that simple comment probably sends shivers down the spine of anyone who's endured the passing of a kidney stone. But John found a way to easily alleviate his problem.
Apples & honey
John states that the pain of passing each kidney stone was "excruciating." But then everything changed.
John: "I then read Dr. Jarvis's book 'Vermont Folk Medicine' talking about apple cider vinegar and honey being so beneficial to changing the PH of the body to prevent kidney stones. I immediately went on this regimen by taking a half bottle of honey and filling it up with apple cider vinegar. Then I put about an inch of this mixture in a glass and filled it up with water. I did this every morning since and have not had another stone in 46 years.

One of the main benefits of apple cider vinegar is the fact that it is very effective in detoxicating both the blood stream and various organs in the body. Aspects of apple cider vinegar act, therefore, as a purifier where this drink has the ability to break down fatty mucous and phlegm deposits in the body. In turn, apple cider vinegar therefore promotes the healthy functioning of the body’s vital organs by preventing your urine from becoming excessively alkaline.

Vinegar-- Good Prevention“When the human individual taking two spoons of the vinegar in a glass of water each meal passes urine in a vessel at night, the following morning it will be noted that no red dust-like deposit is present in the vessel; this shows that a marked chemical change has taken place in the urine.“If there is inflammation in the kidney called pyelites, in which pus cells are present in the urine, generally the condition will be cleared up by taking a mixture of two teaspoonfuls of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water.“For fifteen years a married woman forty-eight years of age had been subject to attacks of pyelitis. Attacks came sometimes as often as every six weeks, and never was free of them for more than two or three months. She began taking apple cider vinegar and found she was free2Disclaimer: The information contained in This Insight Resource Library is for educational purposes only.

When she had been free for one year she discontinued the apple cider vinegar, believing she no longer needed it. Four weeks later the pyelites developed again, with chills, a temperature of 103 degrees, and pin in the region of the left kidney. She returned to taking the apple cider vinegar and the clinical condition quieted down. —D.C. Jarvis M.D.

#1 REMEDY: LEMON JUICE AND OLIVE OIL THE RECIPE: 1/7/2006: Cyndi from Durham, NC writes, "I have suffered intermittently from kidney stones for nearly 9 years. One was so bad I had to have surgery to remove it. Later, my grandmother was hospitalized with a kidney stone and told me about a home remedy given to her by a nurse and believe me, this really works! Mix 2 oz of olive oil and 2 oz of lemon juice, drink it straight down and follow with a large glass of water at the first sign of stone pain. The stone(s) will pass within 24 hours. I have eliminated at least 8 stones with this remedy and have not gone back to the urologist since I started taking this."

[YEA] 04/26/2006: John from Hesperia, CA writes: "I took Apple Cider to dissolve Gallbalder and kidney stones. I stopped getting kidney infections and can take vitamins again; I had to stop taking vitamins because it increased kidney discomfort. It appears as a side effect that my hair is growing back on my head."
