Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Could I tell you stories about kidney problems! I have a defect in the tube running from my kidneys to my bladder. This has caused numerous infections and I now have scar tissue on my kidneys because of them. I have been to the hospital so many times I am on a first name basis with the ER staff. LOL Water, water and more water is great for them. It flushes out the toxins and keeps them working properly. Protein in your urine is one of the signs your kidneys are not functioning properly and you could be headed for kidney disease. It is not usually caused by consuming too much protein. If you are drinking enough water, a normal functioning kidney will flush out what it does not use. Just my 2 cents worth. ~Laury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 I haven't seen a kidney flush, just liver ones. I would be interested in the kidney flush as well...

Cut back on the amount of garlic and only gradually increase it. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark circles under your eyes do not necessarily indicate kidney issues. Dark circles are mainly caused by an overload of toxins in your body, and if you have candida they will include candida toxins, which includes over 79 different kinds, most of which are alcohol. There is a lot of misunderstanding " out there " about a proper balanced diet, particularly with regards to protein. It is well-known that protein in and of itself does not cause kidney problems. It is when the diet is lacking in other nutrients that diseases like kidney problems occur, i.e. low and bad fats, minerals, omega-3 and the oil soluble vitamins A, D, & E, and a good ocean sea salt which provides sodium plus chloride = salt (2 of the 7 macrominerals required daily) and over 84 other minerals, including trace minerals, and they all work together to absorb and utlize all nutrients in foods, including protein. In fact meats, eggs, and good fats I recommend are the very easiest foods for the body to digest compared to any carbs (any foods not classified as protein or fat). That is why this diet plus supplements works so well for any health issues, not just candida. Therefore it is a " healing program " which improves anyone health because it provides the body with all of the nutrients it requires (according to Mother Nature) in order to heal itself naturally. The type of salt recommended here is just like the body's fluids, i.e. tears: You need salt to live! A healthy, active lifestyle demands sufficient salt intake. Human life is dependent on the presence of sodium. If you were to ask anyone to pass the salt, it is a given that in most restaurants you would receive a shaker full of processed sodium chloride. This modern salt is not what it used to be. It is not, in fact, the composition that it was when it became our condiment of choice. Today's table salt is 98% sodium chloride - no trace minerals, no natural balance. Ordinary table salt is a chemical as clean as Heroin or White Sugar. It almost always contain additives, like 0.01% of potassium-Iodide (added to the salt to avoid iodine deficiency disease of thyroid gland), sugar (added to stabilize iodine and as anti-caking chemical), and aluminum silicate. However sodium, in the form of sodium chloride, plays an important part in the primary processes of digestion and absorption. Salt activates the first enzyme in the mouth, salivary amylase. Sodium chloride is used to make hydrochloric acid, a secretion needed for digestion. Sodium functions best when other minerals, such as magnesium, calcium and potassium, which are also contained in good ocean sea salts like Celtic and Himalayan. We need salt to live. Our own cellular makeup is very similar to sea water. Much more than a solution of salt water, the ocean's waters contain a complex combination of minerals and elements. It is this coincidence that has likely made salt, which is essential to life, the condiment most used for thousands of years. " Salt " is actually a chemical term for a substance produced by a reaction of an acid with a base. The terms, " salt " and " sodium " are used interchangeably, but technically this is not correct. " Salt " is sodium chloride. By weight, it is 40% sodium and 60% chloride. Sodium is an essential nutrient, a mineral that the body cannot manufacture itself but which is required for life and good health. Human blood contains 0.9% sodium chloride, or salt -- the same concentration as found in saline solutions used to cleanse wounds. That coincidence is why we crave it and why man came to covet it. Dr. Bernard Jensen, author of Come Alive, stated, " All cellular structures become alive through electrolytic activity. Life begins with electrolytes. Trace minerals carry the life force in our bodies more than any other substance. " Mineral salts create electrolytes. Electrolytes, often called the spark of life, are what carry the electrical currents throughout our bodies - sending messages to the cells in all of the different systems.

Also for the truth about protein see our Group's Files; " Candida Diet & Shopping Lists & All About Foods > Protein (meat & eggs) Facts & Info " .

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Pain, Swellness and Numbness in my lower extremities This is crazy but the pain in my buttocks always tells me if I have a kidney infection or not Trips to the hospital and doctors - always proved I was right I explain my butt is hurting so bad - I have a kidney infection The doctors are baffled - when the results come back that I was right My buttocks swelled up after getting implants My buttocks still feels like it's sitting on my back The pain is mostly in my right butt The problem is my buttocks hurts all the time. When the pain gets so bad it hurts to sit down. I know at that point, I have a kidney infection. I have on hand and just started taking last night. Ciprofloxacin HCL 500 mg Took one tablet last night and one this morning I can now sit down without my buttocks without it hurting I am wondering if my symptoms are all kidney related, knees and all. I have decided not to put any food in my mouth. only drinking water for a day or two. What name brand of Cranberry Juice has no sugar in it ???
