anyone successfully flushed/dissolved a kidney stone?

[Guest guest]

My SIL has a kidney stone that conventional methods have not been successful

at eliminating. She developed sever pain in the area of her kidney a month

or so ago and it was diagnosed as likely to be a kidney stone. Unfortunately

she does not have health insurance. She was treated in the ER initially,

then she was taken to a specialist who tried to break up the stone with

ultrasound, I believe it was. It didn't work. So her dr. pushed the stone up

deeper into her kidney where it wouldn't cause such acute pain. Then another

specialist reached up through her urethra to pull it out but he couldn't get

to it because it was too deep into the kidney. I may be remembering the

chronology wrong here, but the gist is that ultrasound and removal through

the urethra did not work.

The bills for all this are probably going to be much more than my brother

and SIL can afford. She hasn't been able to work due to the stone and my

brother is a lobsterman and there haven't been enough decent weather days

for him to fish much this winter so these sick care bills are really going

to damage them. That's why I suggested they check into natural flushes since

nothing else is working and since it's much cheaper than what they've BEEN

doing.

SIL had a similar problem last year, but it went away without treatment and

only returned now. I'm quite sure I suggested then that she do a flush

program and suggested she eat low oxalate foods. My brother says they *have*

been eating fairly low oxalate, but I'm not sure if he knows exactly which

foods contain oxalates so it's possible that she's not really on a low

oxalate diet. Also, she is from the Philippines so I don't know if dietary

changes might be the cause. She's only been here for about a year and a

half, IIRC. BUT, this stone she has now she got right after returning from a

two-week trip to the Philippines.

They do not know what *type* of stone it is. Has anyone here done a

successful kidney flush that eliminated stones? If so, which program? And

how did you know the stone was gone?

TIA :-)
