Kidney Stone Relief: The Surprising Cure Found at Disney World
Kidney Stone Relief: The Surprising Cure Found at Disney World.
Let’s get one thing straight, kidney stones are nothing to joke about. But who knew that a roller coaster ride at Disney World in Orlando could be the ultimate cure for them? Apparently, the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad coaster is THE ride that’ll make those stones roll.
But hold on, this discovery wasn’t made by a bunch of thrill-seekers. According to OutKick.com, it was actually researched by the smart folks at Michigan State. Professor David Wartinger decided to investigate the connection between roller coasters and kidney stones after hearing from his patients about their experiences on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Talk about a ride that’ll really shake things up!
The research shows that sitting at the back of the coaster has a 64% success rate in passing kidney stones. That’s a higher success rate than some prescription drugs! It’s no wonder people are flying in from all over just to experience the coaster and say goodbye to their stones.
Kidney Stone Relief:
One woman from New Jersey, Steph Fallon, was so determined to get rid of her kidney stone that she booked a trip to Disney World just to ride the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. She even got herself a celebration button for “Passing a Kidney Stone.” Now that’s what I call a real victory lap!
Fallon and her partner rode the coaster twice before heading back home, and the next morning, she woke up to find that the stone had passed. Mission accomplished! And of course, she documented the whole wild ride on TikTok, which has since gone viral.
