Blasting Kidneys Stones - How Not Blasting Kidney Stones Could Be Better For You

Because surgery to remove kidney stones dramatically impairs its performance, new methods have been evolved to avoid the need for surgery to remove kidney stones. Unfortunately, solving that problem has now created different risks, because blasting kidney stones carries dangerous long term health consequences.

The alternative surgical procedure which - quite literally - blasts the stone into tiny fragments is called  "extra corporeal shockwave lithotripsy" (ESWL). This shatters the stone with a stream of shock waves, which pass painlessly through the body. When the stone is broken down into fine particles, these can be safely flushed out of the body in the urine.

But, whilst it this avoids cutting the kidney there is a risk of long term side effects in addition to the short term discomfort experienced after the procedure. So you would be wise to seriously consider a more gentle way forward.

Because this procedure does not involve any incision, you can be treated and return home the same day. But you will experience bruising in the surrounding area, blood in your urine and general minor discomfort for several days afterwards.

However, it is the longer term side effects that give real cause for concern. The Mayo Clinic monitored the future health of patients who underwent ESWL and compared them with patients who got rid of their kidney stones by other means. They found the ESWL patients were four times more likely to develop diabetes, compared with the level of diabetes developed by kidney patients who used other remedies. 

This is due to how the shock waves affect the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Insulin is an important hormone involved in regulating blood sugar levels. If this malfunctions, the patient develops diabetes.

Nor is the increased risk of diabetes the only bad news. Because another possible dangerous side effect of blasting kidney stones can be raised blood pressure (hypertension).

And hypertension is considered so dangerous because it is at the root of many strokes, heart attacks and kidney damage.

Again the shock waves of ESWL appear to reduce the kidney's ability to produce renin and other vital blood pressure regulating hormones. And hypertension is most evident where both kidneys have been treated with ESWL.

So if you want to avoid any risk of long term side effects, as well as the inconvenience, discomfort - and possible cost - of hospital procedures, you should seriously consider other, gentler, methods to rid yourself of the agony of kidney stones.

And the good news is you have on this web site some guaranteed alternative remedies, that work in an average of 80% of cases safely, swiftly and effectively - and without any unpleasant side effects. What's more you can do it all in the comfort of your own home. These methods are totally safe because they only use regular grocery items - which you probably already have in your kitchen.

Used as described, these safe regular ingredients act fast to dissolve the stone, which can then slip free, reducing and then eliminating the pain.

You can then move on to the second stage of this simple procedure. This is where the stone is gently flushed away into your bladder, where it causes no more trouble. It continues dissolving and getting smaller until it breaks right down into the original sand-like crystals that it was formed from. At that point the tiny particles are harmlessly washed from your bladder in your urine.

So, if you hear your doctor or surgeon mention a procedure that sounds dangerously like it involves blasting kidney stones, you should carefully consider if you want to risk that when you now have a simple, safe, fast and cheap remedy right here on this web site.
