Consume a diet composed of 75 percent fresh raw organic foods. This includes

fresh garlic, organic potatoes, asparagus

parsley, watermelon, celery,

cucumbers, non-gmo papaya, and bananas. Watermelon and pumpkin seeds are also

beneficial.

Watermelon should be eaten by itself so that it passes through the system

quickly.

 

It is beneficial to eat organic sprouts (alfalfa is good) and many dark green

leafy vegetables.

 

Include in the diet unprocessed beans, lentils, legumes, seeds, and organic

non-gmo soybeans.

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

the kidneys.

`

Reduce your intake of phosphates in carbonated beverages. Do not use any

refined salt or potassium chloride, a salt substitutive.

Also avoid beet greens, chocolate, cocoa, 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 split peas, beans, lentils, millet,

organic soybeans and organic whole grains.

 

Avoid all diary products except for organic soured varieties, such

as Stoneyfield organic 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 use coffee

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 and destroy

bacteria buildup. These berries 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,

they contain large amounts of sugar.

 

If natural cranberry juice is not available, cranberry capsules from the Health

Food Store 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
