Update: 7-27-2005

This update is based on feed-back from users of methods described in this website. If you have experienced completely favorable results, by all means, continue doing what you have been doing. If you are considering use of the procedure for the first time please read the following observations and recommendations. 

If you have experienced less than favorable results in using the methods on this website or if you are no longer getting the favorable result you once did using these methods these recommendations, also, may help you. 

  • 373,000 "hits" on this website (mostly in the last 14 months)

  • The "bump" method, with the body bent severely forward from the hip-joints, is reported to be much more consistently effective than the "jump" method.  This should also be true if the procedure for immediate pain relief only is desired. The "bump"  method is reported to have better all-around results.

  • Drink only about 1-2 pints of water: larger amounts might make the procedure more painful and require more time to complete. 

  • Very important: start the 25-30 minute "prep" when you think you might be having an attack; Do not wait!!

  • Do not let the pain level go beyond about 4-5 (on a 1-10 point scale) even if you have to start the "bump sequence" before the 25-30 minute "prep" time has expired. Pain at the 4-5 level suggests a considerable accumulation of urine above the lodged stone.

  • The most dramatic success of the method seems to depend on the Great Natural Elasticity of the ureter. If much of this elasticity has been lost to scarring from instrumentations and other procedures of conventional medical treatment this natural method may not be as dramatically effective.

  • This method may not be effective on abnormal urinary systems. Even though we have had over-whelmingly  positive feed-back from users of the method, as always, we recommend you seek your Doctor's advice as to the safety of this procedure. Consider not only your stone situation but also your general health.
