KT learns about kidney stones...the hard way!

Regarding Beer... I had one Buddy who didnt drink a drop and got them, and another who drinks like everyday is Oktoberfest who got them, so beer aint a cause or a cure...:?: Maybe its Flouride in the water?

KT seriously doubts that Fluoride added to water is the cause. There are several types of Kidney stones, but the most common is composed of calcium oxalate, not calcium fluoride. There are various herbal remedy claims, but none that have yet been proven scientifically. KT does know he has very hard water, rich in Ca. The only study done years ago about drinking hard water, concluded that it helped prevent hardening of the arteries. Soft water may result in hardening of the arteries after many years! However, His Majesty has little doubt of where the Ca came from for His Royal Kidney Stone! :lol::lol:

Due to the size of this stone, it will take a couple of weeks to pass the pulverized bits of it.....got quite a few grains right now and still have over a week to go before stint removal.

This coming Tuesday KT will find out if the stint comes out then or has to stay put for a bit longer!
