I had a couple of terrible bouts with kidney stones in 2009. Then I had another couple in 2017. It wasn’t until much later I realized something. In the interim period I had moved to a house that had a lemon tree that produced big, beautiful, fantastic lemons. I squeezed them in water, on fish, anything I could think of. For 8 years, no kidney stones. After leaving that house, I became prone to them again. Most pain I have ever felt in my life. I started regularly drinking water with lemon again. Been stone free ever since. Okay, could be coincidence. But I can tell you, I’m not waiting for someone to do a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, crossover study to prove it works. My real life results are good enough for me.

[@lindagardenlady]

Good for you!! I agree--why wait❤❤

[@ronlearn]

Thanks For the info. I too have a very tough problem with kidney stones and looking for something to give a hand with them. I have found many real studies that show positive benefits from lemon juice. But beware Vitamin C is said to promote kidney stones where luckily lemons also have citric acid that helps even more to stop kidney stones. I am using lemon juice for other reasons so it will be a good test!

[@elaineharley5501]

​@ronlearn You need to first know what type of stone you make. Lemon juice is a urinary alkalinizer and can help deter calcium oxalate and uric acid stones but cause other types to grow.

[@elaineharley5501]

Dehydration is the #1 cause of stones. You need to keep the urine diluted of stone-causing substances and flush the crystals that could become stones. Lemon juice is a urinary alkalinizer so it can help deter calcium oxalate and uric acid stones...but it can cause other types to grow. Apart from getting a stone analyzed you can do a 24-hour urine test to see what's causing your stones. (You may have passed others without knowing.)

This post is worth its weight in gold for anyone listening because I swear I have noticed that pomelos or som o as they call them in Thailand are the best way to hydrate. I don’t care what anyone says, doctors or otherwise. Nobody knows what they are talking about. Pomelos have given me the best hydration, way better than drinking straight loads of water. It’s ok to mix in sips of water when you consume the pomelo. I know for a fact this works and am actually a very surprised pro athletes etc seem like all they do is drink loads of water which I do not believe is the best way to hydrate… it seems like it is but it’s not.

In the morning i take a spoon of virgin extra olive oil . And half limon together in a glass.

[@patriciacesare4608]

Interesting! Do you stir them together and sip OR do as a shot?

What about the LIVER! How does lemon water help cleans the liver?

I love to put half a wedge in my thermal mug of ice water. Mostly because it gives it just a slight lemon flavor and makes it more refreshing. And I figured what ever benefits I’m getting won’t hurt. I have heard that lemon in water helps your body absorb the water better. I didn’t hear that mentioned in your video, have you heard this?

[@TalkingWithDocs]

We have not heard of this but hey it gets you to drink more which is key.

[@oldschooljeremy8124]

No, no, no... you put de lime in de coconut and drink 'em both together. As doctors you are supposed to know that. :D

My city Tap water tastes gross, I always add a slice of lemon. We are very lucky to have a Meyer lemon tree in the garden, I love it! I squeeze them and pour into ice cubes, then grab ice cubes during the winter months, to marinate any protein, make salad dressing etc. it’s been wonderful.

Can you guys do Zinc 50mg. I've taken it ever since I was 17 for Acne and I'm 51 and I think I had to raise it up a bit to half of another pill. Sometimes I do break out but mostly when I've tried to stop taking it and mostly just see what would happen. I tried that a couple of years ago in the fall. I went off of it for 10-12 days and nothing in that time frame then I started to take it again and my face cleared up and every once in a while I would get one and I would increase it a bit and I could tell it would go down half in 5-8 hours. I'm totally not kidding either. And I take C-500mg. six days a week and Echinacea 350mg. Every day. And Melatonin it's hard for me to stop thinking before bed and because I can't do much because I have hips that take turns going out enough to have to go to the chiropractor right now the left side and my herniated disc. My dad would read health magazines all the time. Those are the main ones I take. What do you doctor's think about Zinc.

[@TalkingWithDocs]

We will add zinc to our list to research but we think the answer is it can help a lot of people

Interesting, I put a few drops in my water just to give it a hint of flavour, I use it to replace any other liquid like pop, OJ and other unhealthy but tasty beverages. But I will try and use it sparingly moving forward...thanks for the info!!

Not mentioned. Lemon water helps cleanse the liver. Yea or nea.

I drink 1/2 squeeze lemon and 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar on warm water before breakfast 4x a week and I lost 5 kilograms in 4 months but I also cut all sugars in my diet except fruits I eat 3x a day and 3 vegetables with protein daily! 👍❤️ I’m happy as I don’t put any more weight- stayed this weight I was aiming for without excercise except at work 3x a week- I’m a nurse 👩‍⚕️

[@fionaburton13]

Gin and Tonic must have a slice of lemon 😅

[@TalkingWithDocs]

I drink coffee on a hot day because I like coffee. The mass of a cup (350 g) vs the mass of a body (70 kg) is too small to make a significant difference. It cools somewhat while on the desk. The citric acid has no path to the kidneys. It gets processed and coverted to neutralize it. If you had acid in the blood, that would be a bad day. You're more likely to dissolve the teeth. I would squeeze it or use lemon juice instead of dealing with a piece of lemon pulp in my glass.

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Ha nice

[@Lisajen-h5u]

I blitz a lemon, peel and all minus the pips in my food processor and have 2 tablespoons a day

[@ingridrinaudo3215]

Me too.

[@dreamarichards4972]

Thanks for another great video! I love lemons.🍋I normally drink Fiji water every day and unsweetened ice tea. But, I do love lemonade, lemon pie, lemon bars, lemon cookies etc. But I eat them only once in a while. I did find Lemon Kit Kat Candy Bar. Limited edition. It was good. 😊 🍋💛🇺🇸❤️

[@user-cv2jh7pj1e]

I went from n size 13 to 7 because I drank a glass each night before bed its amazing

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Congrats! We suspect the weight loss can be attributed to a host of lifestyle changes rather than simply drinking a glass of lemon water per day. If it were only that easy …
