Kidney Disease

 

Consume a diet composed of 75 percent raw foods. Eat fresh

garlic,organic potatoes, asparagus, parsley watermelon, celery,

cucumbers, papaya (non-gmo) and bananas.

Watermelon and pumpkin seeds are also beneficial. Watermelon should be

eaten by itself so that it passes through the system quickly.

 

Also eat organic sprouts and most green vegetables.

Include in the diet legumes, seeds, and organic soybeans.

These foods contain the amino acid arginine, which is beneficial for the

kidneys.

‘

Reduce your intake of potassium and phosphates. Do not use any refined

salt or potassium chloride, a salt substitutive.

 

Also avoid beet greens, chocolate, cocoa, eggs, fish, meat spinach

rhubarb, Swiss chard, coffee and tea.

Drink six to eight ounces of steam distilled water every waking hour.

Quality water is essential for urinary tract function.

 

Reduce your intake of animal protein, or eliminate it altogether.

A diet high in animal protein puts stress on the kidneys.

 

Excess accumulation of protein can result in uremia.

 

Protein is easiest to utilize if it has been broken down into free form

amino acids.

 

Other good protein sources include peas, beans, lentils, millet, organic

soybeans and whole grains.

 

Avoid all diary products except for organic soured varieties, such as

low-fat yogurt, buttermilk and cottage cheese.

 

Try a raw goat’s milk diet for two weeks, consuming nothing but 4 quarts

of raw goat’s milk, warmed to body temperature, each day. Add 1

tablespoon of crude blackstrap molasses to each quart. During this

period take 1,000 IUs of vitamin E and 75,000 IUs of vitamin A

emulsion.

Go on a three day cleansing and juice fast, and coffee or catnip tea

enemas.

If you are taking antibiotics for kidney problems do not take iron

supplements as long as the problem exists.

 

Lead and other metallic poisons are very harmful to the kidneys. A study

at the pharmaceutical department of Chiba University in Japan found that

spirulina reduced kidney poisoning caused by mercury and drugs.

Researchers discovered that adverse effects of certain drugs on the

kidneys also may be decreased by the use of spirulina.

High doses of the painkiller ibuprofen, (Advil, Nuprin, and others) can

lead to kidney dysfunction.

 

Herbs

Celery and parsley seeds are natural diuretics. These two herbs help

keep uric acid levels in check.

 

Cranberries contain substances that acidify the urine, destroy bacteria

buildup and promote healing of the bladder.

Drink at least 8 ounces of cranberry juice, three times daily.

Use only pure, unsweetened juice.

Do not substitute a commercial cranberry juice cocktail product, there

contain large amounts of sugar.

If natural cranberry juice is not available, cranberry capsules can be

used as a substitute.

 

Dandelion root extract aids in excretion of the kidney’s waste products

and is very beneficial for nephritis.

 

The herbs hydrangea and uva ursi are excellent natural diuretics. One of

the best first steps in cleaning out the urinary tract and keeping it

healthy is to help it flush itself.

Voiding the urinary tract keeps harmful deposits of calcium or other

mineral salts from forming obstructions.

Uva ursi is also slightly germicidal so if there are any bacteria

present, they will likely be destroyed by it.

Marshmallow (herbal) tea helps to cleanse the kidneys. Drink 1 quart

daily.

SP-6 Cornsilk blend from Solaray helps reduce water retention. KB

formula from Nature’s Way is also a good herbal diuretic.

Other herbs that are beneficial for kidney problems include goldenrod

tea, juniper berries, marshmallow root, nettle, parsley, red clover, and

watermelon seed tea.

 

Helpful supplements:

 

Cranberry

Acidophilus

Vitamin B6 plus choline and inositol

 

Vitamin C with bioflavonoids

Dandelion root

Multienzyme complex plus hydrochloric acid

Vitamin B-complex

Zinc
