5.0 out of 5 stars How little did I know ..., October 9, 1999

By A Customer

I'm a nurse and recently fell victim to kidney stones. My first reaction (after the pain) was to read everything I could get my hands on. I found this book and so far,it's the best one out there. I would recommend it to anyone that suffers from stones and will also share it with my patients. Thanks for the GREAT and easy to understand information!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Many helpful ideas, but perhaps too much nutrition., May 27, 1999

By A Customer

The book is certainly readable and at least mentions many medical conditions associated with stones, but it lacks details on stone surgeries and emphasizes diet to the point where sample menus are half the book! There is no comprehensive review of methods for managing kidney stone pain or specific details about the various surgeries. While many medical problems are listed, they often have inadequate explanation or details. The new edition of "The Kidney Stones Handbook" by another author (just published) is much better.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must-read for kidney stone sufferers, April 6, 2000

By	JRM (PDX) - See all my reviews

I've suffered from painful kidney stones for some time. Despite changes to my diet and lifestyle, I could never completely rid myself of this problem. A friend recommended this book to me and I loved it! I've been stone free for almost three months. This is truly a must-read for anyone plagued with the pain and annoyance of kidney stones.
