Even though I only scored 1000 on my SAT I'm still able to know the difference between creating a thread based on a TOPIC versus one's opinion.
Surely, stating one's opinion about Trump can be included in a thread that ALREADY EXISTS.
It should be OBVIOUS that "Diablo Valley" is a TOPIC.
Not merely an OPINION.

Not True!
I really like the Diablo Valley thread. It brings a sliver of a smile to my face, something much needed in this OT land.
Do you have a thread title that you've created that you think I might like?
Okaydo has the Breaking News thread.
Bearister has the Trump Grift thread.
Sluggo has the soccer thread.
DiabloWags has Worst President In My Life thread.
I've got Obituaries.
What signature thread do you have?
All I can think of is a bunch of distortion.

Good call!
I simply don't read some people.
The advice for kidneys stones is remarkably simple and is a fool proof solution, but is very difficult to accomplish unless one is very disciplined. I know. I've had kidney stones. And I don't like having to pee all the time.
Drink one gallon of water every day.
This constant flushing overcomes the diets which may produce a calcium oxalate stone, a uric acid stone, etc.
Escaping to pot smoking probably inhibits one's water consumption.
You're welcome.

Yeah you're wrong but good try. I drink more water than anyone you know, still get kidney stones. I stick to a strict diet as well. Thank goodness you're not a doctor

Short answer: Drinking one gallon of water per day (3.8 L) significantly reduces the risk of forming new kidney stones if it results in producing at least 2 - 2.5 liters of urine per day, which is the threshold shown to prevent stone formation. It is one of the strongest proven prevention strategies, but not a guarantee on its own.
---
Does one gallon per day prevent stones?
Yes - if it keeps your urine dilute enough.
All major medical sources agree that high fluid intake is the #1 most effective prevention method for kidney stones:
Harvard Health: Drinking enough water to produce 2 liters of urine/day reduces stone formation.
Cleveland Clinic: Recommends 96 - 110 oz/day (2.8 - 3.2 L) of fluid to prevent stones.
National Kidney Foundation: Staying wellhydrated dilutes stoneforming minerals and lowers risk. kidney.org
One gallon (128 oz / 3.8 L) is above these recommendations, so for most people it is enough to keep urine dilute - unless you sweat heavily, live in a hot climate, or have high urine solute loads.
---
Why hydration works
Kidney stones form when urine becomes concentrated enough that minerals (calcium, oxalate, uric acid) crystallize. Dilution prevents this by:
Lowering calcium and oxalate concentration
Increasing urine volume
Increasing citrate (a natural stone inhibitor)
This is why urine color is a practical indicator:
Pale yellow / clear = good
Dark yellow = too concentrated
---
But hydration alone is not always enough
Even with a gallon/day, stones can still form if you have:
High sodium intake (raises urinary calcium)
High animal protein intake (raises uric acid, lowers pH)
High oxalate intake without enough dietary calcium
Low citrate levels
Genetic predisposition
Certain medications
This is why guidelines emphasize a 24hour urine test to identify your specific risk factors. kidney.org
---
Practical target
Goal: Produce 2 - 2.5 L of urine/day
How to know: Urine should stay very light yellow all day.
For most people, this requires 2.5 - 3.5 L of fluid/day.
A gallon/day gives you a margin of safety.
---
Summary
One gallon/day is generally enough to prevent stones if it keeps urine dilute.
Hydration is the most effective single intervention, but not a complete prevention plan.
Diet (salt, protein, calcium, oxalate) and urine chemistry matter just as much.
A 24hour urine test gives personalized prevention guidance.
---
If you want, I can walk you through a personalized prevention plan based on your stone type, diet, and urine chemistry - just choose one:
calciumoxalate prevention
uricacid stone prevention
general hydration strategy

Suggesting that people get screened for cancer is not medical advice.

Getting screened = acquiring information.
Action that affects the body = medical advice.
Some people who like to just argue are not worth my valuable time or emotional energy.
