One morning I woke up and everything seemed fine but an hour passed and the side of my back along with the stomach was hurting very very bad. It felt like a horible stomach cramp in my back but so bad I don't know how to describe it. I was also throwing up every 10 or 20 minutes and that seemed like the only thing that helped the pain. So I called the doctor and he did an x-ray. He found 8 of them in the Kidney and one that was stuck in the tube. It took me about 4 days to pass it.

I passed one today. It was quick, but so painfull I thought a terrorist crawled inside me, and blew himself up taking out a few innocent organs. I swor id never make fun of a womans peroid again, yea it was that painfull. It sucked. I learned my lesson. Karma is a bitch, I got that loud an clear. So drink water, not soda. water, not sports drinks, no processed foods, all natural. I got the message...

@NumberNile when you have a stone go to the hospital. if it's anything like what i had, you probably won't be able to keep down much water...

[NumberNile]

So, in other words, when you have a stone, don't drink water?

@whirlwindshadow: Well first there is a complete naturopathic approach for stones on my channel in the comment section - lemonade is not enough to break stones. Also as for the biopsy is it due to the belief of cancer. If so there will be a naturopathic approach for cancer posted later on my channel. Keep in mind that currently I  am only taking questions and requests from my subscrbers only. It is only fair. There is also a regimen for an enlarge prostate. Thanks

@4chango I've been drinking lots of lemonade. I've been told that works really well. Anyway, I've got to have a prostate biopsy next month. The fun never ends!
