A member asked:

Would it be possible for someone to dissolve a big stone in the kidney with a home remedy of "normal" food?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Kidney stones can be pulverized with sound waves, lithotripsy, so that the small fragments can pass in the urine. Do not waste your time and money on "home remedies" as stone can damage the kidney.
