Painful Kidney Stones, is Uriflow legitimate?

I HAVE TRIED URIFLOW OFF AND ON AS NEEDED OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS AND IT REALLY WORKED FOR ME. ANOTHER THING TO REMEMEBER IS TO CUT BACK ON THE SODA POP AND THE CAFFEINE AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER IF YOU DO THAT I PROMISE IT WILL HELP.

I was on Uriflow but when I went to re-order I could not get the product. They told me that is was out of stock for two Months??? I switched to a product called RENAVIVE. I love this product! and feel that it is more effective and they always seem to have it in stock. Most important for me it works. Renavive

Hello,

I used Uriflow when i had really bad stones and it did really helped me to dissolve them. My surgeon wasn't believing what was happening... As I was schedule for a fourth surgery to remove more of the stone and didn't need it anymore after i took that. Now i took it with some water that a friend gave me that I understood later on had helped tremendously the absorption and effectiveness of the product. It's called Kangen water, you don't buy the water you buy a machine. The machines seems expensive but i do not regret for one second my purchase as it prevented me from another surgery... email me at ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** private e-mails not allowed **

Hi there, 55 WM here. Had kidney stones since I was 25. Following the doctor telling me that my test results showed "multiple bilateral" kidney stones... several in each kidney at the same time, about three years ago, I started Uriflow. For whatever reason, using Uriflow has resulted in: nothing. No pain, no stones passing, nothing. The one time I ran out (BioNutrix isn't good about bookkeeping) I was into day four without the capsules, driving at the time, and got slammed with "that" pain. Found a rest stop and luckily peed it right out, and if you have them you know what a relief that is. Back on them, and: nothing.
I'm happy with Uriflow. But the distributor needs to be more diligent about keeping the folks who sign up for a long-term contract supplied ON TIME.

I used Renavive for my kidney stones, and the product definitely works. I am no longer suffering with the pain and now am actually stone free. Renavive is amazing and I highly recommend the product!

Uriflow is a scam to take advantage of people who are in pain and suffering. Same for renavite. These companies seem to have multiple website and con-artists on user groups pretending to be patients. For acute renal colic, there are some medicines that can help expel the stone (ask your doctor about Flomax (tamulosin) & Procardia XL (nifedipine extended-release)...these work by making the ureteral muscle relax. These are legitimate.

The best source is a nephrologist or urologist. For web education, google LithoLink. It's founded by a real doctor and has really good advice.

For "dissolving" stones....large stones aren't going to dissolve. But you can try to not let new ones form.

1) ****Drink lots of water so that the crystals that form stones don't have a chance form. DILUTE THE URINE. Always be sipping from a water bottle. Lemonade/Limeade once a day is good too--see step #5. ******
2) Ask your doctor to do a metabolic profile on your urine for: calcium, oxalate, phosphate, citrate, sodium, and potassium. This will help your doctor assess your risks for stone formation. LithoLink does a nice profile, but local labs should be able to do this.
3) If you catch a stone, ask your doctor to do a stone analysis. If you can pinpoint what stone you form, that helps design a strategy to form more stones.
4) If you are a calcium stone former, it is probably a combination of genetics & diet. You can't help the genetics part. This is the key to the diet: eat NORMAL calcium in your diet (not low, like some websites say). Eat LOW SODIUM diet and high potassium. This is the key to reducing calcium in the urine.
5) A lot of stone formers have low citrate in the urine. Citrate inhibits stone formation. This can be supplemented by medicine (UroCit-K). Also in your diet, you can drink high-citrate drinks: real lemonade, real limeade. You have to drink this on a regular basis, so sometimes it's easier to take a pill.

Nobody knows for sure why, but obesity is linked to stone formation. So lose weight!

If you are suffering from kidney stones, be in touch with an MD who is an expert in this. They can really help you.

hi,
I have stones in both of my kidneys right now
and really wish that these products worked,
I looked up the herbs singly and they do say
they work on the kidneys and so forth but
I dont trust the companys that are running
the Uriflow or other ones...its so unfair if
they are scamming us, thats plain wrong !
but im going to do more digging into it !
im so desperate to get out of the surgeries
they want me to do !

I found UriFlow after my 2nd attack in 4 months about 6 years ago which cost me over 5 grand at the emergency room. I knew I had to do something because ER visits (in extreme pain, no less) were not acceptable. I was desperate and tried it. I swear it was a miracle! It worked exactly the way they said it would. And the reason I am replying right now is because my supply is low (I only take it when I need it, when I feel a stone coming on like right now (No kidding, blood in the urine and the telltale pain of a stone as I type) ) and I was looking for their website again. I think this time I'm going to get enough for a once a week maintenance dose. The blood this morning scared me a little. I don't know if others will benefit like I did. After all, not everyone benefits the same from meds the doctor gives, right? Some people can't take aspirin. I can't take Ibuprofin myself. Gives me a headache.
Anyway, I say try it. It helped me. A LOT.

I take exception to your calling Uriflow a scam. It truly did help me when the doctors didn't except for giving me a strong pain relief cocktail at an exceptionally high cost. It would be difficult to prove to you just what a benefit it has been to me and you do have some good recommendations in your post but to recommend Flo-max and other meds of that sort with their myriad side effects while calling a product that actually works well, probably without any first hand knowledge, is...unfortunate for people that suffer from stones and naturally distrust anything not endorsed by doctors or approved by the FDA. Personally I hope they don't and allow any pharmaceutical company to get their greedy little hands on the formula just so they can jack up the price 100 fold.

It most certainly works. It is a life saver. I passed a 7mm stone which the doctors told me that I would have to have surgery for. I passed it in 6 hours and never felt a thing. Not a thing. I am never without. I have used it four times and it has work everytime. Now I just take it every once in a while to keep my kidneys clean. I have passed it on to three other people and it has been a miracle for them also.

It was a miracle for me, especialy after several surgeries. My doctor was reluctant at first so he did a before and after ultrasound on my kidneys. The result was that Uriflow completely cleaned my kidneys out. No more stones to pass! No more pain! I've given away several bottles to friends in pain due to kidney stones and so far it has worked on all.

 

I've been using Renavive for over a year and remain kidney stone free. I have called them multiple times and have talked to reps whom have been more then helpful. This company is far from a "scam". In fact, I've even referred them to co-workers who have not stopped thanking me. Highly recommend Renavive.

Is anyone familiar with the product for dissolving kidney stones called uriflow?
I have had reoccurring calcium oxcalate kidney stones since I was 17, I am 56 years old now. So it's been a long hard battle and this uriflow sounds like a real medical miracle but i don't know anyone who has used it.
All I want to know is does it do what it claims to do.

I have been using uriflow for over 2 years now. I have suffered with kidney stones for about the past 16 years. I started taking it knowing that I had small kidney stones that were just sitting in my kidneys. I lived in fear that at any day they would start to pass and cause the severe pain that I had come to know. After just a month of uriflow the stones were gone. I take one capsule daily, now, and no longer suffer with the problem. If I do get a kidney stone, which is rare anymore, I dissolves an passes quickly and easily with little to no pain. I agree that it is pricey, but well worth the money. I wouldn't dream of skipping a day!!!

uriflow a very good product i had a stone bleeding and i took this product and it pass a very good product

I had my first kidney stone about 4 years ago. It was large enough that lithotripsy was required. Then I had a second, then a third stone, then a fourth, all large enough to require lithotripsy (all were 8-12mm). These all occurred with 18 months. After all this, a surgeon that I play tennis with suggested Uriflow as he takes it because of kidney stone problems. Despite the negative press that the product gets, I tried it. Since that time, I have passed at least 50 small stones ranging from 5mm down to less than 1mm, but no more lithotripsies. There is pain for the larger ones but it rarely lasts more than a day and 90% pass with no pain. A few months ago, I had a 24 hour urine analysis done and the doctor simply said to increase water (I was already drinking 100+ oz a day), cut down on added salt, take sodium bicarbonate (to reduce acid in the urine) and cut down on foods high in oxalate. Since putting these changes in my diet, I have only passed a couple small stones in 3 months so I think it is working. I believe Uriflow works but it seems to prevent the formation of larger stones more than it breaks up large existing stones. I wouldn't stop taking it now for any reason.

I had two kidney stones in 204/2005. One was 4mm. I bought Uriflow and used it. I was given a strainer to catch whatever came out. Nothing ever came out. And in about a week, no more pain. It worked for me. As a matter of fact, I am getting ready to buy another bottle to keep on hand just in case I ever get them again.
