If you have ever suffered from the pain of kidney stones and you want more information about exactly what is causing it ... and more importantly, how to get rid of them and help prevent it from happening again... ...or even just what your different treatment options are... ...then this book was written just for you. Here's the story: Totally and unexpectedly, I started getting horrible pains in my stomach. You know the feeling...the burning, the involuntary bending over. It's ten times worse than any stomach ache. The pain gets so bad you know that you got some serious issues going on... I tried aspirin, lying down, and cold ice packs. But Nothing Seemed To Help It got so bad I had to see a doctor. He told me I had kidney stones and they were still small and could be treated with prescription drugs. But I'm weary of prescription medications side effects and decided to hold off before I read more about the different medications. As it turns out, I found out that there were a lot of other options I could try first before using the prescription meds... most of them work to treat the symptoms (not the actual cause of your kidney stones) Plus, there can be side effects. All I am saying is... How I became a kidney stone expert Ok, I'm not really an expert-but I've done WAY more research on kidney stones than the average person. I started my research on the internet...And I spent a lot of time in the library looking through health books, magazines and articles... Not only did I discover a ton of information about how the body works and what causes kidney stones I also found out about all the different options to treat or prevent kidney stones. After pouring over hundreds of articles... reading tons of web sites... and flipping through a truck load of books I finally discovered a natural remedy that worked for me! Relief with this natural remedy was safe and extremely easy, and it's so SIMPLE that most people completely overlook it. After just a few weeks I was starting to feel relief... a few more and there was no pain at all... and in just months I visited my doctor again to hear the kidney stones had completely dissolved. After everything was better again, I realized something else. I had learned a LOT of information that could help other people who were suffering like me. So I compiled all my research and created the straight-to-the-point, simple guide I wish I could have found when I was looking for a solution to my kidney stone problems.
