Sure is a lot of ing going on here
Im not saying they are not made of calcium.
Im trying to give ways to prevent stones, by lowering the stress load of the kidneys.
If you hydrate the kidneys and allow them to work properly, you will have a better chance of the crystals (calcium) not to lump together and form.
Salt is considered a crystal forming substance and if you have a greater number of these substances which is more than your body and dilute, stones form.
Take it from someone who works in the field
