Had kidney stones last year - doctor prescribed FLOMAX which
did nothing. Ditched the FLOMAX and drank cranberry juice
instead - cleared it right up

But I bet your prostate appreciated the Flomax,

My husband is a stone “producer.” He can pass the small ones on his own but for the big ones, he gets a lithotripsy, lots of Dilaudid and Flomax to help the fragments pass. I’m not sure that cranberry juice would have any serious effect on a kidney stone that’s actively on the move. I’m glad you got some relief, though.

P.S. Although these studies come up with different results all the time, there is evidence that cranberry juice can increase the chance of kidney stone formation in those who are prone to get them. http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/kidney-stones/prevention.html

I think it's still recommended for help against UTI's and all but if you are concerned about future kidney stones, I think the juice you need to be drinking is orange juice or lemon juice. http://www.webmd.com/kidney-stones/news/20060907/orange-juice-fights-kidney-stones
