This is all new to me, I have no clue about it, but he is in deffinite pain, 24/7 as I'am sure all you guys must know about. How long can this last? He's working on 2 weeks now and I feel so awful for him. The doc offered to take him in tomorrow to do the thing, that thing that is barbaric and hurts really bad, Jimmy declined and is willing to tough it out for the time being. He's nauseated, fever, can't eat, but is trying to drink lots of water. The doctor told him today to try and walk around more as that might help move the stone. I feel so sorry for him that I could cry, but there's nothing I can do for him. I think tomorrow I'll make some home made soup for him as he can't seem to eat much of anything. If there is one time in my life that I am grateful for being a woman, it is now... Any and all help would be so greatly appreciated. BTW, he is taking drugs for the pain, I don't know what they are but do seem to help. thanks for any and all help.

Calcium deposits are "usually" related to a lack of magnesium chloride in the body.
Magnesium chloride is used to transfer messages between nerves. When our body uses up Magnesium Chloride our body seeks another substance to use and the closest thing is calcium which leaves deposits in the fleshy parts of the body, often the kidneys.. Magnesium chloride(in liquid form) will "boost" your nervous system and send the built up calcium back to the bones and teeth where it belongs.
As for kidney infections I would suggest Olive Leaf Extract ( the substance from the movie Lorenzos Oil) with a small amount(maybe 5 drops) of 3% or 5% Hydrogen Peroxide(should cost less than $5 per bottle) daily as this will raise your sons immune system and help fight any infections and reduce the frequency of pain.
My last bout of kidney pain lasted for 3 months of intense pain. That all came about when I stopped taking the medications I have just told you about. Now im back on these medications my pain is almost insignificant and at worst lasts a couple of days and not weeks.
Ive also used Norspan patches for the pain which are an opiate patch as ive been using panadiene forte for over 20 years and was worried of my liver function.
Hope this information helps....Andrew
