I have family members that were vaxxed. Some up to 5 times (they didn't listen). Now they all have/had kidney stones. Stepdaughter has gallstones and having gall bladder removed. I've heard from other people that they know people with the same issues. I searched forum and found a lot about kidney failure but not stones. Concerning. Related possibly? Anyone else noticed the rise?

Never heard of this connection before. Kidney stones are typically calcium oxylate crystals that got too big to pass, often related to chronic dehydration plus some theories of a certain bacteria trigger the crystallization (which is a known thing to happen with certain crystals) explaining why only some people are prone to them with others eat massive amount of calcium and oxylates without ever getting one. There is some evidence that astaxanthin, which is found in krill oil and certain fish that eat krill, can prevent their formation as populations who consume those frequently have very low incidences of kidney stones.
Gallstones are a totally different thing and are formed mostly from cholesterol. The low-fat diets pushed make them way more likely as if you're not eating enough fat your gallbladder does not empty frequently enough and the bile can become too concentrated and sludges up and forms the crystals. Every person I know who ended up with gallstone was eating a lot of low-fat foods, never heard of anyone with a high-fat diet getting them.
I have a problem with gout sometimes depending on how I eat, I've changed diet a lot and it hasn't been an issue for a long while. I appreciate your response, just seems like a lot of it is going on around me, was wondering if others have noticed it too. Thanks.
Gout is uric acid building up to where crystals can form in your joints, it gets blamed on high-fat and high-protein diets and my dad used to get it. However he only got it when he was sedentary, when he got into the gym and became much more active he stopped getting the gout. I eat even more fat and protein than he does and am in the gym 3-4 times a week lifting and have never gotten the gout attacks he got. I also drink on average a gallon of water per day so there might just not be the right conditions for the uric acid to build up in my body.
I’m versed on gout, hit me years ago. Changed diet, Bernard Jensens Cherry extract is my remedy when I feel it try to flare. Wish I had time for the gym. I drink a good bit of water also to stay flowing.
You make time for it, you find a way to do it at home even. I kept making that excuse until one day I saw that I had a BP of 150/100 and I had somehow injured myself again just taking out the trash.
