My dad recently had a kidney stone and his chiropractor told me this way to get rid of it.
All this done has to be done within 15 minutes.
Drink 6 classic cokes
and eat 2 baby food cans of puréed asparagus
It is supposed to disolve the stone.
Hope that helps anyone who ever has a kidney stone.
Color me skeptical; if this was at all true, he'd have patented a drug containing the nutritional contents of 6 cans of Coke and some baby food, marketed it, and made all sorts of money. Like dem said, chiropractors are not real doctors, and their knowledge of general physiology is, by way of comparison to an MD, extremely limited, to say nothing of their lack of pharmacological knowledge. Sure, it may have worked for someone he knows, but did he then administer this concoction to dozens of people to test its efficacy? Doubtful.
My dad had a kidney stone, and from the looks (and sounds) of it, it's incredibly painful. All of a sudden one night I hear him go to the bathroom across the hall and all of a sudden I hear him moaning, so I ask him if he's ok and he said he's throwing up and has piercing pains in his stomach. So we advised him to get to the hospital ASAP and it turned out that he had a stone. It runs in my family on his side, which is scary, because I used to drink a LOT of soda; my dad drinks nothing but water (for his whole life, not just since the stone), yet he still got one. He said it was the most painful thing he'd ever experienced, both when it was inside and when he eventually passed it. I've known of women, too, who've said that kidney/gall stones are worse than childbirth in terms of the severity of the pain. Very frightening.
