I have calcium oxylate stones. Had one out in 1984 and now have two in one kidney and three in the other. Largest is 4 mm. I was in for a shockwave treatment at the hospital yesterday. They hit it 3000 times the report says. They just went after the big one. thankfully I am in Canada so the medical expense is paid. However - before that I tired UriFlow. I would say it doesn't work on calcium phosphate stones. Personal opinion. Then I tired Chanca Piedra to no avail either. So - those of us with Calcium Phosphate stones wish we were oxylate stone formers. Now I am looking at the lemon juice and olive oil thing. If the lemon juice works on breaking apart the stones - maybe a person should wait to take the oil so they have some time to break down? any thoughts on that? I am due back at urologists in two weeks. Would love to be free of these by then. However, the prospect of passing 5 stones in a few hours is very daunting. AND what if this is yet another solution for the oxylate crowd! LOL . All the best, everyone.

Dear Bruce: You need to find a way to STOP any stones from forming in your kidney. The theory of stones formation is really simple. If you eat food rich in oxalic acid, the oxalic acid goes into your bloodstream, reacts with the body's calcium and becomes calcium oxalates in your kidney.

It is the same with calcium phosphates. Phosphoric acid enters the blood stream via the intestines or stomach, reacts with the body's calcium and it forms calcium phosphate.

The easy way to prevent calcium oxalates OR calcium phosphate from forming the first place, is to get the body with enough buffers to protect the acids from entering your body in the first place.

If the body's intestines have SUFFICIENT sodium bicarbonates, the sodium bicarbonate will react with oxalic acid to form sodium oxalate and these will excrete out in the feces instead of going into the blood stream as the buffer will neutralized them before such entry. The same is true for phosphoric acid, the sodium bicarbonate will react with it to form sodium phosphate and this will prevent the formation of calcium phosphate and will quietly rid from your body via the feces.

The trick is to take between 1/4 -1/2 teaspoon of baking soda twice a day. Once in morning and once in evening on an empty stomach. It takes a week for the body to have sufficient buffers and your body will no longer have stones.

As in all cases, excess calcium is also indicative of magnesium deficiency. SO you need to take both vitamin B6 and magnesium, so the body can properly utilize the calcium as well.
