Question
My husband has recurring kidney stones (calcium), I asked his urologist if there was medication that could help prevent and he gave me a vitamin/mineral supplement named TheraLithXR which the main ingredients are Magnesium (Oxide & Citrate) 180mg, Potassium (Citrate) 99mg and Vitamin B6 (Pyroxidine) 7.5mg  The dosage is 2 tabs twice a day with meals.  The cost of this supplement will be around $20 for a month supply.  2 questions:  Is there another supplement on the market that is comparable and will my husband need to take this the rest of his life to prevent kidney stones?

Answer
Dear Sandy,

Thank you for writing, your question has now come through successfully. As for the supplement he is taking, i do not see the need for it. There is a much simpler, and yet, more effective remedy for this.

Mix 2 ounces of olive oil with 2 ounces of fresh lemon juice, and drink it all... this is to be follow with a large glass of purified water at the first sign of pain. The stones generally pass within about 24 hours.

As for supplements, if your husband was to take any, i could only recommend this one:

It is one of the best nutritional products on the market today. Please do research on the above website.
Taking this product is simply a means to overall good health, as it is really high in antioxidants.

General recommendations:

Cut out all soy products, soy causes thyroid degradation. Cut out pasteurized milk, take only certified organic or raw milk.

Cut out all artificial sweeteners: splenda, sucralose, aspartame, nutra sweet, equal, spoonful, saccharin, acesulfame potassium, sorbitol, cyclamate, alitame. These sweeteners are toxic.
Make sure you read labels on all products before you purchase.

Make sure you avoid everything that says "sugar free" on it. Cut out all sodas, reduce the intake
of sugar as much as possible.

Cut out the use of microwaves, they lower haemoglobin levels, deteriorate immune functions and produce high numbers of radiolytic compounds in foods. Replace your microwave with a nuwave oven when you can.

Avoid all hydrogenated oils, avoid margarine, canola, rapeseed, and soybean oil.

Replace with butter, ghee, unrefined coconut oil, sesame oil, and virgin olive oil.  

7-10 glasses of water per day is a good idea to help flush out toxins from the body. Warm or room temperature water, never cold. Never drink tap water or distilled water. Remember, drink purified water only.

If you are using toothpaste that contain fluoride, please replace with a herbal toothpaste that is fluoride free.
If you have dental (mercury) amalgams---get them removed by a dentist who knows how to remove them.
Never agree to silver amalgams either, as they are 50% mercury. The dentist must provide a bio-agreeable material
as a filling.
