Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Why could a remedy for EG help kids who took PEG unless it wasn't breaking down into it's original state??????----- Forwarded Message ----To: "miralax " <miralax >Sent: Sun, November 20, 2011 5:27:11 PMSubject: Fw: EG the same as PEG It's really sad when the people handing out this medication are ill informed on what to do when these children complain of stinging upon urinating and they don't have an answer and we have to result in animal studies and the breakdown of PEG. As a result, this was the ONLY thing that EVER gave our dd some relief when calcium oxalates came up in her urine JUST like the hundreds of other parents on here complain of? Thank you Nattalie for posting this..............we are forever grateful See below............................----- Forwarded Message ----To: miralax Sent: Wed, May 13, 2009 3:54:53 PMSubject: EG the same as PEG Jeanie take a look at this. Says here that they used eg to induce oxalates. Lemon juice removed them. Thought anyone who was trying to detox miralax should be considering lemonade. What do you think???? Nattalie Abstract Background The use of herbal medicines (medicinal plants or phytotherapy) has recently gained popularity in Europe and the United States. Nevertheless the exact mechanism of the preventive effects of these products is still far to be clearly established, being its knowledge necessary to successfully apply these therapies to avoid stone formation. Methods The effect of oral lemon juice administration on calcium oxalate urolithiasis was studied in male Wistar rats. Rats were rendered nephrolithic by providing drinking water containing 0.75% ethylene glycol [v/v] (EG) and 2% ammonium chloride [w/v] (AC) for 10 days. In addition to EG/AC treatment, three groups of rats were also gavage-administered solutions containing 100%, 75% or 50% lemon juice [v/v] (6 ìl solution/g body weight). Positive control rats were treated with EG/AC but not lemon juice. Negative control rats were provided with normal drinking water, and were administered normal water by gavage. Each group contained 6 rats. After 10 days, serum samples were collected for analysis, the left kidney was removed and assessed for calcium levels using flame spectroscopy, and the right kidney was sectioned for histopathological analysis using light microscopy. Results Analysis showed that the rats treated with EG/AC alone had higher amounts of calcium in the kidneys compared to negative control rats. This EG/AC-induced increase in kidney calcium levels was inhibited by the administration of lemon juice. Histology showed that rats treated with EG/AC alone had large deposits of calcium oxalate crystals in all parts of the kidney, and that such deposits were not present in rats also treated with either 100% or 75% lemon juice. Conclusion These data suggest that lemon juice has a protective activity against urolithiasis. Background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Old post wanted everyone to see................there's a low oxalate diet board and upon starting the diet they get symptoms of muscle pain, joint swelling, etc. while dumping, they call it, getting rid of oxalate which many suspect PEG has done to the body. ----- Forwarded Message ----To: miralax Sent: Wed, May 13, 2009 3:55:12 PMSubject: EG the same as PEG Jeanie take a look at this.
