    I have gotten kidney stones frequently since 2006

    Cut out tea, nuts, potatoes, chocolate, whole grains, carrots, spinach, and everything else. Keep my sodium around 1500mg/day

    I still form them prolifically

    I had a 2cm stone back in March that they tried blasting and ended up getting chunks of the stone stuck between the stent and the wall of my ureter. After keeping the stent in for 3 months my urologist gave up and another one picked me up. When he went in to laser the stones, he had to laser chunks that had adhered to the stent before he could get it out

    They shockwaved my other side last month and got the newer stent out and had my follow up today and there’s two more little ones on the left side already forming up

    Next step is an endocrinologist

  • A lot of purely positive are against “balance” training where we use tools like eCollars and prong collars

    Probably because science doesn’t support

    their

    use

    and

    documented

    their

    harm

    many

    times

    over

    But do go on with how anecdotally “they work and people just don’t use them right and all these are different things”

    I think most reasonable dog owners will stick with proven science-based training and their vet recommendations. Anecdotally my vet said they are horrible. I even asked another because I had a friend who swore by them at her training school. Anecdotally two vets said the same thing .

    Anecdotally one of that trainer’s personal dogs she used prongs and ecollars to train mauled a kid and another dog at her training school so now she’s getting sued

    Anecdotally, of course
