Overlooked Cures

 

Millions suffer from health problems that can be inexpensively remedied by

nutritional therapies. The problem is that these nutritional cures are not put

into practice by modern medicine. Health journalist Bill Sardi reveals

nutritional or simple practical cures for ten different health conditions,

complete with references from the National Library of Medicine, in his latest

series of health tips.

Kidney Stones and Rice Bran Extract

 

About 500,000 Americans suffer from kidney stones each year. Some of the

high-technology methods utilized to eradicate kidney stones are " extracorporeal

shock wave lithotripsy " (shattering a stone with a shock wave produced outside

the human body); Retrograde intrarenal surgery which inserts a scope into the

bladder and ureters leading to the kidney to crush or evaporate the stones; PNL

(percutaneous nephrolithotripsy) removes large stones by puncturing the kidney

through the skin; and open surgery under anesthesia to remove stones. These all

seem like harsh methods of stone removal compared to a proven natural remedy

that is entirely overlooked by both conventional and alternative medicine.

 

It has been known for some time that adults who consume more whole grains that

provide a calcium-chelating (removing) molecule called phytic acid have fewer

kidney stones. [scandinavian J Urology Nephrology 34: 162-64, 2000] In a

published report entitled " Phytic acid is a powerful agent for preventing

calcifications in biological fluids: usefulness in kidney stone treatment, "

researchers in Spain point out that test-tube studies, lab dish studies and

human experiments " demonstrate that phytic acid plays an important role as a

crystallization inhibitor of calcium salts in biological fluids and becomes a

clear alternative

 

in the treatment of calcium oxalate kidney stones. " [Anticancer Research 19:

3717-22, 1999; Archives Esp Urology 52: 94-99, 1999; Scandinavian J Urology

Nephrology 32: 261-65, 1998] The effectiveness of phytic acid in clearing kidney

stones has been known since 1996. [Nephron 73: 561-68, 1996]

 

Phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphate) is sold in health food stores as IP6 from

rice bran and about 3000 milligrams taken daily with water only on an empty

stomach would be recommended to kidney stone formers (plain rice bran doesn’t

 

work). IP6 phytic acid dissolves these calcium stones and eliminates the need

for expensive and more invasive procedures.
