Warm water with lemon will dilute the stones. The stones are deposits of residues of chemicals, pills or any prescription or drugs or others we take daily or for some short term. Warm water that body temperature is the best because it acts immediately.Lemon is the greatest detox known to man.Use it for one month and you will notice the pain go away.

Lots of things can cause kidney stones. What you can do is make sure you drink lots and lots of water including cranberry juice, ...sugar free works best.
