Try Lemon Juice For Kidney Stones.

Kidney Stones truly are one of, if not the, most painful medical problems on
earth. This disabling illness sends tens of thousands to the Emergency Room in
excruciating pain each year.
But the research is clear: drinking a small amount of emon !uice e"ery day is
an effecti"e #ay to pre"ent these painful stones from e"er ha"ing to happen in
the first place.
$ne of the #orst pains that anyone can e"er imagine is a kidney stone. %omen
#ho ha"e experienced both natural childbirth and kidney stones say that the
pain of ha"ing a kidney stone is far #orse. &nd it is far scarier because it comes
on so suddenly, #ithout prior #arning and seemingly no reason #hy it is
happening. %ithout kno#ing #hat is going on, this frightening experience has
nearly anyone #ho experiences it going to the emergency room #ithin minutes
belie"ing that they are dying.
'et as painful as one is, it is simply a tiny crystal the si(e of a grain of sand or
smaller that has lodged in the urinary outlet that causes so much pain. )o#e"er,
the "ast ma*ority of stones actually pass out of the body on their o#n #hether
medical treatment is gi"en or not. $nce someone has had a kidney stone, the
probability of getting another is almost +,-. and some people get se"eral in
their lifetime.
/nfortunately, the only ad"ice that most doctors ha"e to gi"e is to drink lots of
fluids and a"oid calcium #hich is the usual component of kidney stones. But
a"oiding calcium is not only #orthless at pre"enting kidney stones, but it can
be dangerous. increasing the risk of osteoporosis unnecessarily.
)o#e"er, there is a cheap and easy #ay to pre"ent kidney stones from e"er
happening in the first place. !uice. particularly citrus *uice. has been sho#n to
be an effecti"e #ay to pre"ent kidney stones from e"er forming.
%hile pre"enting kidney stones seem to be an enigma to medical science that
doesn0t understand the connection #ith diet, there is really a "ery easy
explanation as to #hy this #orks. Kidney stones are formed #hen calcium in
the blood is unable to dissol"e into solution.
The undissol"ed calcium then forms crystals that end up passing through the
kidneys and into the urinary tract. causing pain #hen one is large enough to get
stuck. But *uices are usually acidic, and citrus *uices ha"e an acid called citric
acid that allo#s the calcium to dissol"e in the blood, be absorbed into the
digesti"e tract and therefore be unable to cause kidney stones.
Study after study has sho#n this treatment #orks, to the point that it is not
debated #hether *uice #orks to pre"ent kidney stones, but #hich type of *uice
#orks best. emon *uice and orange *uice, #ith their high content of citric acid,
seem to be the most effecti"e, #hile grapefruit *uice and cranberry *uice ha"e
sho#n mixed results and ha"e caused higher rates of kidney stones in some
studies.
E"en apple *uice, #hich contains malic acid, seems to #ork #ell. But make
sure that your *uice is *ust *uice and does not contain high fructose corn syrup,
as that has been sho#n to be a cause of kidney stones and could make your
problem #orse. So drink your *uice and pre"ent the most painful condition
kno#n to man from e"er happening to you.
