Today we’re going to talk about what causes kidney stones.

It’s odd that kidney stones even form in the first place, but calcification can occur in many parts of the body.

97.2% of the people with kidney stones in a certain study also had tiny bacteria (nanobacteria) in the kidney stones.

These nanobacteria eat calcium and form bone-like crystal structures—a type of calcium that’s in bone. They’ve also found nanobacteria in calcium deposits in other parts of the body.

The problem is that the immune system has a difficult time detecting nanobacteria because they protect themselves with biofilms. But, the immune system will detect a problem and will trigger an immune response. An immune response can create a lot of inflammation, leading to complications.

Before using any natural remedies to break up biofilms, take TUDCA and have activated charcoal on hand.

How to help prevent kidney stones:
1. Drink 2.5 liters of fluid per day
2. Take calcium citrate and consume lemons
3. Take potassium citrate
4. Take garlic
5. Get on Healthy Keto® and do intermittent fasting
6. Decrease stress on yourself and your microbiome

Merry Christmas doctor; ever since finding your keto videos, I went from 90kg to now 74 kg in just five months! In addition to avoiding sugars, carbs of all kinds and just eating breakfast and dinner skipping lunch, I would walk at least 5km a day. I put on the weight due to anti depressants and used to be 63kg and thought I would never get back to my normal self, but I'm half way there so thanks very much

I was getting a stone about every 2 years and ended up in the ER twice. The last one I had was 7mm and the doctors told me I wouldn't be able to pass it so they scheduled me to see a Urologist to put me under while they ran a scope through the ureter to break it up. While waiting for the appointment I read up on every natural remedy I could find. I did the lemon remedy and also apple cider vinegar treatments. After doing these my pain was completely gone within about 4 days. I still had to go to the urologist appointment which was a week later and they did another scan that morning but didn't tell me the results. I was feeling wonderful with no pain but just a little tired. I wasn't sure if the stone was still there though so I went along with the doctors who went ahead and did the scheduled procedure. When I woke up from the anesthesia they told me there was nothing there to break up. The stone had apparently dissolved due to the lemon water and apple cider vinegar. Ever since then I try to drink water every day with a couple of capfuls of organic apple cider vinegar. I haven't had a stone in over 8 years now. I tell every one I can about apple cider vinegar's wonderful benefits. I used to drink a lot of soda (Mountain Dew especially) and so I was often dehydrated from the sugar and caffeine. Dr. Berg is right in that you need to stay hydrated. My doctors had told me that from their experience they have a saying "Once a stoner, always a stoner" implying that you are going to be stuck with these things the rest of your life but that is not true. You can find natural remedies to prevent or heal your body if you get them. The lemon remedy works as follows: buy about a dozen lemons or so and in the first hour squeeze them to fill a cup of 6 to 8 ounces. Drink this down undiluted in the first hour. For the next hour and every hour afterwards throughout the rest of the day squeeze a lemon in with a cup of 8 ounces water. Drink this diluted lemon water every hour. You can also do apple cider vinegar mixed with water which is what i do now to prevent them from forming, or dissolve them if formed. I've also heard asparagus helps with the urinary tract too. Anyway, Merry Christmas and God bless everyone who reads this. Kidney stones are horribly painful and I pray you never get one.

I have had 1 very painful kidney stone years ago and passed it by drinking large amount of water. My sister gets them often and I will pass this on to her also. Thanks Dr Berg.

[AimeeAimee]

Thank you! Everything you described applies to my mother. (caretaker)
She just had gallstones removed last week and one was 10mm! They had to use a “balloon” in two areas due to her diverticulitis.
She doesn’t drink enough water which drives us loopy. She has sinus issues, stress from the loss of her daughter (2019), poor diet and ulcers. She’s also a cancer survivor. Will do my best to help change her habits as much as possible.
You’re a wonderful Dr. and person.
Wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season and New Year.

My very first experience with kidney stones was in August of 1978 and by January of 1979 they were surgically removed. That was only the beginning, however, because since then I have developed stones no fewer than 22 times - passing some and having some removed by cystoscopy. Needless to say, the chronic problem started to affect my kidney EFGR reading. Previously, all I was told was to drink plenty water daily. Within the last two years I started seeing a Nephrologist who put me on Potassium Citrate twice daily.
Dr. Eric, I truly appreciate the information you bring to the public. Be blessed Sir and have a wonderful holiday season.

You are not only an excellent doctor but a first class communicator. Your advice is understandable and direct. Thank you for all you do, it is VERY helpful.

I see this as a chain reaction of chronic illnesses that all start with digestive stress. Imagine that digestion is like the Earth and the creatures living in it are not in harmony, when everything is neutral they suddenly become enemies of each other. I think the treatment starts from the initial reaction, which is to restore harmony to the environment and prevent stress from the beginning so that the micro-organisms in it do not feel threatened. The environment (and the environment in the gut) may be the key.

[babymlo]

I was just in the hospital yesterday passing a stone for the first time. The pain was so intense :( thanks for this video. Good info.

[MarvinMcDougle]

Very Informative. Glad the algorithm suggested this video.

[PippiLong]

I use the whole 🍋 and peel. Also wild oregano essential oil. I suffered twice in 3 years and started a regular regime with includes plenty of water.

[dawngonzalez]

Thank you for another great video. Can you do one on the role of oxalates in gut issues, and also oxalated dumping? I think eating a lot of swiss chard, almond products, and other high oxalate foods contributed to me getting Microscopic Colitis a few years ago.

2.5 litres per day is now where near enough water to consume it may be enough in the middle of winter but if you live in a country with a warm climate on the hottest days and especially if you do physical work you should consume approx 4 times that amount, the rule of thumb is you should drink enough water to urinate 2 litres per day regardless of climate.

[kathym]

GREAT video doc. You are the firstest with the mostest!

[norrisfromthenorth]

I boil 1 lemon 2 chunks of garlic and a finger size chunkof ginger make 1 gallon put in fridge and drink before bed every night you will never need a doctor again

Decreasing animal protein intake can decreases the risk for forming kidney stones. Alternatively increasing supplemental foods, lemons/garlic etc etc helps as well. For uric acid crystallization, switching to a vegetarian diet can reduce the risk by 93% within a few days.

[bryansmith]

Dr. Berg you are invaluable. All of this info free. And we pay thousands to doctors to miss diagnose and just give painkillers. Thank you I was able to lower my stabbing pain in my kidney with information from your videos 🙏

[kareng]

Realized today that I'm dealing with a kidney stone...first place I came for help was Dr. Bergs channel. He is beyond brilliant

[Turkeysammich]

I take Kidney C.O.P. When I was 18 I was trying to win a prize by drinking a lot of mountain dew, i drank a bottles everyday, and then I got my first stone. Which I had to have sound wave surgery. But my dad had stones too, so it could be hereditary.

Every now and then, I love to have a coca cola, but as soon as I do, I develop a stone just about the same day of drinking a coke.
