Kidney Stones Can Be Expelled By Riding Roller Coaster

In addition to causing a tremendous pain, kidney stones are also widely known to be quite difficult to cure.

This very hard stone clogs the bladder so that we can feel the tremendous pain when we want to urinate. In many cases, patients with kidney stones can also experience severe fever and extreme fatigue.

Luckily, two doctors from the United States recently found an easy way to overcome kidney stones, which is by riding a roller coaster.

How can Kidney Stones be Expelled By Riding Roller Coaster?

David Wartinger and his friend Marc Mitchell are health experts from the University of Michigan who discovered this fact in a unique way.

They found a strange fact that 10 years ago there was a patient who reported that three kidney stones came out of his body after riding on a roller coaster.
After searching for more data from other kidney stone patients, it was discovered that the patient was not the only one to experience that.

There are many other patients who report kidney stones came out after riding on a roller coaster or other extreme activity like bungge jumping.

Wartinger and Mitchell finally did more in-depth research on the linkage of kidney stones with this roller coaster.

They carry some kind of an artificial kidney made of silicon and then inserted real kidney stones and urine in it.

The artificial kidney stones are then brought to Disney World and they immediately rode the famous roller coaster, the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

After riding it 20 times, it is known that kidney stones can get out of the artificial kidney.

Wartinger says if the quick swooping and turning can make our body tense and involuntarily pushing the kidney stones out naturally.

From this artificial kidney, there are 4 kidney stones from the total of 24 stones that come out if we sit in the first row of the roller coaster.

Better result is if we sit in the back row on a more extreme roller coaster, we can even expel 23 of 36 kidney stones.
