After being diagnosed with kidney stones, passing three on my own and having two separate surgeries, I decided to take the advice of my nephrologist to prevent them from recurring. This book is a textbook of knowledge covering areas relating to how the stones are formed, causes and multiple plans of action to prevent them from occurring again. My book is "highlighted", paperclipped and "dog-eared" to easily locate golden nuggets of wisdom that I don't want to forget. Because this approach is a multi-faceted one, it requires multiple changes to be made in one's lifestyle. Some of the changes I had to make were diet (switching to low-oxalate), increasing consumption of water, calcium with meals, strict reduction of salt and the decrease of my diuretics. This book gives explanation and suggestions as to how to make the changes work for you. It does require a juggling act and this straight-forward "textbook" has been a great source for staying on course, that is to prevent future kidney stones. It is easy reading and comes in chapters by subject. However, I found it most helpful to mark the items (as you would mark up a "textbook") that specifically were important for ME to remember for easy quick reference.

After experiencing the pain of a kidney stone for the first time I
felt it necessary to research as much as possible and this book gave
me all I needed to know, plus things to do/not to do to hopefully
eliminate ever having it happen again. I would highly recommend this book.
