Anon,

Have you been diagnosed with kidney stones? What has your doctor told you about them? Does she or he think they will pass without intervention?

I am not sure what you mean by "the three ingredients" for passing kidney stones. Is this something you have heard from a friend or family member?

Here's a very informative page on kidney stones, how they are caused, and treatment:

http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/stonesadults/

Here is an article on how to encourage kidney stones to pass, but it doesn't mention a specific three ingredients. It emphasizes drinking water, exercising, having a beer in the evening, and decreasing caffeine intake:

Does this help? Or can you be more specific about what you're looking for?
