A road map to prevent kidney stones

I will never forget the experience of passing a kidney stone three years ago. And, I don't want to forget because I never want to go through it again. "NO MORE KIDNEY STONES" has become my bible. I read through it cover to cover at the time, and I have now reread the new updated edition. It gave me an in-depth understanding of what was happening with my kidneys and, more importantly, it gave me a road map for avoiding kidney stones in the future. All of the diet related information and the food group table in Appendix A (measuring oxalate content) are invaluable. I learned about the importance of oxalates in stone formation and limiting protein intake. "NO MORE KIDNEY STONES" changed my life. I have given the book to everyone I know who has had a kidney problem. Not one day goes by that I do not remember the health of my kidneys. So far this book has helped me avoid a recurrence, and if I do have one, I will be able to handle it better.

A truely helpful guide for kidney stone patients!!!!!

As someone who has worked for a number of years on providing laboratory results for stone patients I am intimately familiar with the challenges kidney stone patients face. As even some of the other reviews point out many in the medical industry have little information of value to share with those who suffer from kidney stones. This is all the more alarming when you take into account the fact that most people who have one kidney stone will have another in their lifetime.To date, this book provides the best overall review I have seen. It lays out in clear and concise language why different types of kidney stones occur, what steps can be taken to prevent them, and lastly provides examples of how to incorporate these steps. As for few the few negative comments posters have left:1.) This book is not a medical text, it is written for the patient, so additional detail would provide little value to the majority of readers.2.) This book is not intended as a complete diet guide as it size would have to be increased extensively to include all of the potential informtion. Rather the diet information presented here is intended to help the patient to begin establishing guidlines.I have referred this book to large number of poeple and have gotten nothing but positive feedback!!!

a must-read for kidney stone sufferers

I've suffered from painful kidney stones for some time. Despite changes to my diet and lifestyle, I could never completely rid myself of this problem. A friend recommended this book to me and I loved it! I've been stone free for almost three months. This is truly a must-read for anyone plagued with the pain and annoyance of kidney stones.

How little did I know ...

I'm a nurse and recently fell victim to kidney stones. My first reaction (after the pain) was to read everything I could get my hands on. I found this book and so far,it's the best one out there. I would recommend it to anyone that suffers from stones and will also share it with my patients. Thanks for the GREAT and easy to understand information!!!
