Aunt Having Kidney Stone Problems

My aunt was having pain in her side followed by pain traveling into her thighs. She knew immediately what the problem was, as she had had kidney stones in the past. To pass a kidney stone is not an easy task. Unhappy with her previous medical treatment by her physician she decided to research other options on the internet. She read that she should not drink any coffee or tea, as well as other caffeinated products so she completely cut them out of her diet. She further read that she should be drinking at least 64-ounces of fluids each day. Water and cranberry juice seemed to work the best, she read. She starting drinking as soon as she stopped reading and it worked like a charm. After passing her kidney stone she was thankful and vowed to drink this much every day to prevent any further attacks of kidney stones.
