KIDNEY STONES 323 excert from my new book

A pool player can’t afford to get laid up in the hospital. Few have any insurance to cover an operation and when you are not playing, you are starving. You are like an African lion, a predator, you hunt to live, get hurt and can’t hunt, you starve.

A kidney stone can be one of the most painful things you can encounter. It will put you down and there used to be only one solution, an expensive operation, leaving long scars and a long recovery. If they are caught early, that can now be avoided in some cases using Lithotripsy
this procedure is most effective for stones in the kidney or upper urethra. Lithotripsy uses an instrument, machine, or probe to break the stone into tiny particles that can pass naturally. This procedure is not appropriate for patients with very large stones or certain other medical conditions.
Ultrasonic lithotripsy uses high frequency sound waves delivered through an electronic probe inserted into the urethra to break up the kidney stone. The fragments are passed by the patient or removed surgically.

This used to be a disorder of the middle age, but now kids are getting them as young as 5 or 6.
So let’s understand what causes them. Too much salt, and not drinking enough water to flush it out. You are getting too much salt in all the fast foods and junk you eat. Salty chips and fries, sodas, processed foods like sandwich means, canned soups which are loaded with salt, sports drinks like Gatorade which should only be drank in very hot weather and only when you are outside sweating. So cut out the junk and remove the salt shaker from your table. Do not add salt to anything you eat. You are getting too much already.

Kids don’t like to drink water because they don’t want to go to the bathroom at school, they don’t have the time, and so they drink less. Pool players are at great risk, because they have the same reasons, they want to stay at the table, and protect their cue or keep playing. They don’t drink any water at the pool hall and eat hot dogs and hammies and fries. It is a lethal combination. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Drink water while you play pool, water is oil to the joints.

Stay healthy. Live long and prosper.

Pucker up and kiss me, I just gave you something new to help you.

the salt shaker isn't nearly as bad as processed foods... those things are loaded

That is the main problem, you are getting too much salt, and not drinking enough water, to flush it out.
