Re: "Pissing into a jar, installing Linux"

On the other hand vit.C is absolutely necessary for the health. Personally I get 300mg per day, each day (actually I am putting it in my morning ACV, don't know if a good practice) and I hope it will be absorbed prior reaching the kidneys.

... and about relaxing the "smooth muscles" (which urethra consists of) I know 2 methods:

I am sure there are many more methods though

@coderwx, I wouldn't say kombucha 'worked', and maybe the opposite, only that I drank a lot of it, and then wound up at the ER. I still drink a lot of it, and it is likely not very relevant...

Maybe not relevant, maybe yes... In kombucha there is also some acid after the fermentation, I just do not know which type. My angle of view on ER is: you ended up there, but you managed to pop out the stone without medical intervention, so I count it as a success :) Anyway, the goal is next time not to end in ER...

Let's call it a success. If you missed my previous posts, I dehydrated myself for several years prior, have no kidney stone history before or after the ureter rupture.

There are many potential benefits of kombucha, but to be honest I drink copious amounts because I love the taste and it's low in sugar, so I don't feel too bad about drinking a lot of it. I think sugar is probably the biggest problem in modern diets.

Ah, sorry, eighter missed or forgot what I've been reading :) From too much work I am not focused on my leisure time :) But good thing you reminded me of kombucha! We have the kombucha culture at home, but it is now "parked" for few months (did U know it can be "parked" and sleeping? ) Now I am un-parking it and will start brewing some kombucha! Thanks! (about the sugar I agree with you also)

Pissing into a jar, installing Linux — The two activities are surprisingly compatible. You can't leave the house. It takes the whole day. It is stinky and sometimes embarrassing. You feel inadequate. I succeeded in installing void on my 'main' machine. I collected not quite 2L of piss. Why am I collecting urine? I am long overdue for a 24-hour test to see what kind of stones my kidneys are making, and hopefully, return to a diet which contains spinach, beats, soy, and tea. I may be better at...
