Urine ph seems confusing. If morning urine ph is alkaline (8-ish),

doesn't this mean the body is actually acidic --meaing alkalinity is

being excreted and acidity is being held in the body? Would someone

set me straight on this please?

Thanks for all the help.

Dean: Kidney herbs are not part of Andy's protocol. As far as I remember he

recommends magnesium for pain in the kidney area.

I personally believe they are essential , esp. if you have low back pain. You

don't have to be on them permanently, just for 6 weeks to get the kidneys

moving.

Parsley water; Uva Ursi and Ginger are the most common herbs used (there are

many others and even kidney teas abound).

But they must be maintained for six weeks, and if you want to dissolve away

kidney stones a certain combination of certain herbs is needed, as each one

works on different sets of crystals e.g. Oxalic acid crystals.

Hulda s organ cleanses are excellent in my opinion:

But please note her liver flush is not recommended by Andy for mercury toxic

livers.

I don't know if he would be against the kidney cleanse? I don't see anything

worrying or unusual in the ingredients and I have never known even one person to

have side-effect with it after seeing hundreds through it (except for the taste

of course :-))

I have found it to remove completely or lesson significantly the pain of 95% of

lower back pain.

Liver herbs: Andy advises Milk thistle herb.

Amino acid Taurine is also useful to get the bile flowing (alone with others). I

have found this to be very helpful.

I have also found the Liver Phase 2 supplements like TMG (and Taurine) and

especially Sulfate to be helpful.

>What is the difference in saunas --why not FIR saunas?

I don't understand why. I think it is because FIR's are not regulated or

standardised. I don't know? He just says don't do 'em. That is good enough for

me most of the time.

I have had problems with alkalinising my urine. It seems to prevent me clearing

my ammonia. I know this because when my ammonia is high I don't sleep well at

all. I take ornithine to clear ammonia from my body and help me sleep. Ammonia

is 'smelling salts' and was used to wake people from a coma in the old days!

A couple of capsules of ornithine is magic and I keep it by my bedside. Ammonia

is also only produced by bacteria.

Cortisol also activates the enzyme Glutamine Synthesise (in Andy's book) which

clears ammonia from the brain. I have not tried supplementing glutamine (no

space on my supplement shelf :-)) , but I know from my adrenal issues that

cortisol output is a problem.

Mercury not only makes one a perpetual patient, but also keeps the medical and

supplement industry booming.

You can find some of Andy's comments on sauna in the Files.

It comes down to the fact that he has had lots of reports of

people having significant increased symptoms with FIR sauna,

and not with regular sauna. The source of the problems is

partly the glues used in construction and other toxins present

in the material, partly the heaters which cause the body to

heat unevenly, and partly false advertising about the foregoing

information by the companies that sell them.

As I understand it, Andy says in the Hair Test book that alkalinizing

the urine is only necessary if you are chelating certain metals -

cadmium, silver, and (I think) gold. These metals are more prone to

be dropped in the kidneys causing damage. Alkalinizing the urine is

meant to prevent this.

This is distinct from the issue of alkalinizing the body by reducing

intake of acid foods and taking more alkaline foods in an effort

to get rid of acid wastes.
