Five years ago, I had my first experience with kidney stone pain. Back then I spent an entire night writhing around on the bathroom floor in agony, clutching my side and trying not to vomit while searing pain shot from my back and side all the way into my groin. 

Over the next month, I endured days of pain, unpleasant side effects from prescription pain-killers, sonic blasting of the stones, and installation of a stent to keep the ureter open wide enough to allow passage of the stone debris. I was in pain for a month and ended up paying several thousand dollars (after my insurance paid its paltry share) for the privilege.

I woke up a few weeks ago with the same kidney stone pain, but this time I decided to try a home remedy before undergoing another month of modern medical care. I found a kidney stone removalreport online and was treating my kidney stones within a couple of hours after buying the report. My experience does not represent a valid scientific test (a clinical trial would involve millions of dollars, several years, and hundreds of volunteers — the pharmaceutical companies would never pay for such a trial since there would be no money in it for them) but my single anecdotal experience convinced me that the home treatment was worth the cost and then some.

The treatment used ingredients in stock at my local supermarket that cost me less than ten dollars. I got immediate relief from the pain and never had to use prescription pain killers. The report says that many people pass their stones within a day or two, but in my case it took a couple of weeks to pass several small stones and then finally a very large one (to me it seemed large with a length of 7 millimeters). I am sure that my urologist would have recommended sonic blasting to remove a stone that large, but by using the treatment outlined in the report, I passed the stone on my own with very little discomfort.

I lost several weeks of work five years ago going the traditional medical route, but this time, by using a kidney stone home remedy, I was able to function almost normally during the time I was passing a kidney stone. The home treatment report includes tips for preventing future kidney stone attacks, but if I should ever have another one I will use the home treatment again.

High tech medical treatments are normally not required for treating most small kidney stones, as natural cures for kidney stones are available.
