About the Authors.
This is an okay book from the standpoint of advice from a urologist. After all such doctors should be the experts on kidney stones. I was diagnosed this past spring with two 8mm kidney stones - one in each kidney. So I found and read this book. While reading it I thought it was extremely good and was prepared to give it five stars but now a couple of months later I realize that this book has really missed a lot of information that people like me need.
I may be wrong in some of the things I'm about to say because I really need to reread the book to remember what it said and what it did not say. The advice on staying hydrated is always a given. The second point the author made was to limit animal protein to what I remember to be about 12 ounces a day. I believe this to be a valid point because while I once made stones every 2 years my recent experience with them was the first I had in the past 9 years. During that time I was eating a lot less animal protein and for part of the time I was vegetarian or mostly vegan. Last October I went on a low carb diet and began eating a lot of animal protein. I don't doubt that that had something to do with my recent kidney stone problem. [By the way, low carb diets are not suppose to be high protein but rather high fat with moderate protein.]
So what is wrong with the book? After reading it I continued to research the topic. I found out that if you keep the alkalinity of your urine close to 7 [at least above 6] you will likely not make any kidney stones. Rather than avoid all the healthy high oxalate foods that the book mentions like spinach and kale it makes a lot more sense to me that you should be more concerned with the PH of your urine. I learned that lemon juice is a great way to alkalize your urine.
