Having kidney stones should go to rollercoaster?

The roller coaster helped about 70% of patients with kidney stones to remove stones naturally without surgery.

Recently, urologist Dr. David Wartinger, emeritus professor at Michigan State University has published a new study and said: Going rollercoaster will completely eliminate kidney stones. out of the body .

Medically, kidney stones are formed when urine contains easily crystallized components such as calcium compounds, oxalate compounds, uric acid . more than the liquid can dissolve. Meanwhile, these compounds will "shake hands" with each other and create many extremely obnoxious pebbles.

Naturally removing kidney stones, or in other words letting them move from the kidneys out through the urinary tract is really painful. According to Dr. Wartinger, many patients described the process as being like . "spawning a hedgehog" .

In addition, where he works in East Lansing, Michigan, USA, each spring vacation will have more than half of the population traveling to Orlando, Florida. After each vacation, there were quite a few patients returning to Dr. Wartinger and saying they had successfully removed kidney stones from their bodies.

At first, Dr. Wartinger did not really pay attention to this. However, after hearing some patients talk about removing a kidney stone when riding a roller coaster , and continuing to remove the other 3 tablets as they continue to go more and more, Dr. Wartinger decided. plan to find out details.

To investigate the effect of rollercoaster on the removal of kidney stones, Dr. Wartinger conducted a 3D printing of a fake kidney, stuffed into 3 kidney stones and urine and immediately moved to Orlando city to conduct experiments.

Here, he and his colleagues "concealed" a fake kidney in a backpack and began to experience more than 20 rollercoasters Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - the glider that many patients "responded positively" Best at Disney World Amusement Park.

And surprisingly, the roller coaster really works to remove the kidney stones from the body.

According to Dr. Wartinger, the structure of the kidney is like a tree with a branching system. Kidney stones usually form at the edge of the kidney, and must move through a dense network of labyrinths so that they can go back to the "roots" before falling down completely to the bladder.

The roller coaster will create a rather strong vibration force , which helps kidney stones move more easily toward the bladder. Of course, in the excitement of experiencing strong feelings, the patient will not feel the pain as described above.

Sitting in the last seat when riding a roller coaster will bring the best effect for people with kidney stones.

Dr. Wartinger added that the removal of kidney stones also depends on the different types of roller coaster . If the faster the ship moves and the stronger the jolts, the higher the effect will be obtained, but when it moves too fast or "stompes" vertically, it will counteract because the centrifugal force will push the stone out on the edge of the kidney.

Currently Dr. Wartinger's research has only been done at rollercoasters inside Disney World Amusement Park, because this is the only place where the manager, and also a pretty serious kidney stone patient. on the explanation from the American doctor.

In the future, Dr. Wartinger hopes that many other amusement parks will accept cooperation so that he can complete his research. At the same time proving that this method of removing kidney stones is much more amazing than having to drink lots of water and painkillers so that the stones "find their way out" today.
