What kinds of teas should I avoid to prevent kidney stones??
This is a very controversial matter. Some say that drinking tea creates oxalate stones because it contains oxalic acid. But you should know that not only tea contains oxalic acid. For example green beans, chocolate and spinach contain oxalic acid.
The problem is that it seems that 3 quarters of all kidney stones seem to be made out of calcium combined with oxalic acid. So in fact you should avoid drinking tea while eating goods rich in calcium. If you have kidney stones you should avoid mixing foods that contain lots of oxalic acid with foods containing lots of calcium.
On the other hand it seems that a recent study proved that green tea actually helps reduce the size of kidney stones. It seems that the antioxidants contained in green tea helps neutralize the free radicals that can form urinary stones. Basically green tee inhibits the formation of urinary stones it seems.
This makes me angry. The internet in general, when it comes to the topic of kidney stones, makes me angry. The patient is given no help when most resources that are read are generalized rather than giving target diets and healthy foods for different types of stones. I'm 20 years old and have already passed about 6 EXCRUCIATING stones because no doctor or health expert or average Joe or whoever can give me information that doesn't conflict with someone else's. And here, nuts are great for you while I read elsewhere that they contain oxalate (my condition's main offender) and therefore it cannot be said that 'nuts' in general are any good for stone prevention. I am willing to so that pretty much every single food item I can put into my body, besides maybe lemonade (although I read too much vitamin c can potentiate stones "in general" as well), can/will contribute to my stones. Can someone, anyone, PLEASE give me some real, tested medical advice on what I ACTUALLY should and shouldn't eat to help prevent myself from getting these oxalate stones? If so I've included and email and it will be so greatly appreciated, thank you.
I hear you Pat. Unfortunately in the medical world there isn't a consensus when it comes to kidney stones and what generates them. There are many theories flying around.
The truth is that no two people are identical when it comes to their inner workings. Something that might work for Joe might not work for you. You have to do your own research and experimentation to find out exactly what works for you. You should also consult many doctors until you find one that makes sense to you.
Once I had a dire health problem and the more doctors I saw the worse my condition got and the number of operations were piling up. Finally I found a great specialist that told me that my problem was minor and one of his apprentices could fix it quickly for me. The whole procedure lasted only 2 hours and I was home the same day.
You should also check a documentary called "Food Matters". It gives a lot of cool advice about curing all sorts of diseases using super foods. All of the information cited in "Food Matters" is based on scientifically researched papers.
You have to use your common sense and seek tailored advice for you. No one can give general advice that applies to all in the same measure. The more general the advice is the less effective it is.
Hope you will get to rid yourself of your kidney stones problem. I wish you all the luck in the world.

I think the best thing you can do for ALL of your organs is eat a vegetarian diet with emphasis on as many raw veggies as possible and lots of fruit (never in the same meal together). Avoid all meat and limit fish and egg intake.
