Hello,

You have been diagnosed with kidney stones. Nutrilite Double X from Amway is a food supplement having antioxidants that may aid kidney heath but no research evidence is there to proof that the product can dissolves / breaks kidney stones. No harm in taking it as it has antioxidant and aids kidney health. The key is to take adequate amount of water and fluids everyday.

You can take apple cider vinegar with water twice or thrice daily. Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid that can dissolve kidney stones. It also helps to ease pain caused by the stones. Do not ingest it in large amounts as it can cause damage to tooth enamel, acid reflux, and sore throat. Taking Basil juice will help to maintain kidney health as it has antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties.

Celery juice and pomegranate juice also help to flush out kidney stones but do not take all at a time as it can interact with medicines, apple cider vinegar and treatment being given and cause unwanted effects. Never consume all as a mixed drink, it will cause harm. Take apple cider vinegar regularly and get a USG or CT done every 25-30 days, improvement will be seen in 3-4 months.

Alpha blockers like Tamsulosin (Flomax) help to pass smaller kidney stones. In case you get very uncomfortable with pain and symptoms then get it removed at the earliest by a surgeon. Do not waste time, larger kidney stones may cause symptoms to get worse.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
