(9,126 posts)If you get them a lot, drink it regularly. This was prescribed by a doctor to a friend who had a stone and was in so much pain for a week, he was asking me to kill him. He was uninsured and the doctor at Kaiser said basically, (off the record) we can operate and you pay or you can drink as much watermelon juice as possible and see what happens. Supposedly the acid breaks up the stone. Over the next week, he guzzled fresh juice and the pain went down. Not miraculously or all at once, but it did. He kept doing it another week and then stopped. Pain gone and never passed a stone.
I know this is anecdotal and complete woo, but it saved him upwards of $25k which he didn't have, fixed the pain that no painkiller could touch, and he didn't have to pass the stone. If I ever had one, you bet I would be all over that.
