Health Protocols

Diet

There are a number of different types of stones and it is important to know which type you have a tendency to form. The most common form is calcium oxalate stones.

Drink plenty of water. Low-grade dehydration is one of the most important contributors to kidney stones. You must drink plenty of water to flush the kidneys and keep the minerals in a "dissolved" state.
Eliminate coffee, teas and colas
If your stones are uric acid based, avoid excess levels of meat
A diet high in citrus fruits may significantly decrease the risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones. 120 ml (4 oz) per day of lemonade can also work to decrease the risk of stones.
Replace wheat with buckwheat which has been shown to protect against gallstones
Limit sugar
Calcium rich foods have a tendency to decrease stone formation. Some resources and reports recommend calcium avoidance, this is an unfounded and likely unhealthy recommendation.

Lifestyle

Drink plenty of water.

Supplements

Potassium/Magnesium Citrate - 2 Capsules Twice Daily. This supplement has been able to decrease the risk of kidney stone formation by at least 85%.
