Enoughs enough
by: Michelle on Mon, Jun 22 2009

I have had kidney stones for the past 10 years. I am 31 and they still can only tell me that I have a low citrate level. I had the PCNL surgery on a staghorn stone that filled 80% of my kidney 8 weeks ago. I had a recently had an ultrasound and it shows that I have over 20 stones at this point in time(10 over 1cm). I do not want to do surgery anymore. I’ve tried raw apple cider vinegar, drink a gallon of water with lemon juice daily, etc. I am willing to try anything, except surgery.

I’m a 32 year-old man, and I’ve had stones for the past 18 months. I’m convinced that my bouts with these stones have been brought about by exposure to certain compounds in wood stain/varnish. [more..]
