Need a Kidney Detox? Answer these important questions.

I recently did two liver cleanses. I ended up with some kidney symptoms afterward. That’s not so unusual actually.  When toxins come pouring out of their hiding places, the kidneys can get quite overloaded trying to expel all the toxins. I’m now going for a kidney/bladder cleanse.

You may need to cleanse your kidneys and bladder, too. We should cleanse these hard-working organs at least once a year. Find out if your kidneys need some cleansing.

Do you have any of the following symptoms?

• dry skin, skin rashes, hair loss
• inability to focus, fuzzy vision
• fatigue, lethargic feeling, drowsiness
• heart palpitations, high blood pressure
• incontinence, kidney stones, urinary tract infections
• decreased urine flow and increased nightly urination
• burning or painful urination, dark-colored urine
• itching, sleep problems, metallic taste in the mouth
• nausea, coldness, fever
• swollen joints, stiff neck, cramps
• abdominal or lower back pain
• poor appetite, anemia

Here’s what you can do to cleanse your kidney and bladder:

Kidney Nourishing Juices and Foods

Kidney Nourishing Juices and Foods 

I just had a foot zonology appointment this week.  Zonology is a technique that utilizes the signal system in our feet to rejuvenate, balance, restore, and detoxify the entire body while assisting in the natural healing process.  I was surprised to learn during that session that my kidneys aren’t being nourished well resulting in poor blood flow in and out of the kidneys.  Strong, well-nourished kidneys are needed to support good blood flow through them.

Baking Soda for Kidney Disease

Baking Soda for Kidney Disease

Sodium bicarbonate is not only an excellent agent for natural chemotherapy, bringing as it does higher O2 levels through increased alkalinity to the cells, it is also one of the most basic medicines we have for kidney disease. New research by British scientists at the Royal London Hospital shows that sodium bicarbonate can dramatically slow the progress of chronic kidney disease.[1]

Bicarbonate acts to stimulate the ATPase by acting directly on it.[2] The simple household product used for baking, cleaning, bee stings, treating asthma, cancer and acid indigestion is so effective in treating kidney disease that it prevents patients from having to be put on kidney machines. The findings have been published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. Bicarbonate is a truly strong universal concentrated nutritional medicine that works effectively in many clinical situations that we would not normally think of. It is a prime emergency room and intensive care medicine that can save a person’s life in a heartbeat and it is also a supermarket item that you can take right off the shelf and use for more things than one can imagine.

Dr. S.K. Hariachar, a nephrologist who oversees the Renal Hypertension Unit in Tampa Florida stated, upon seeing the research on bicarbonate and kidney disease, “I am glad to see confirmation of what we have known for so long.  I have been treating my patients with bicarbonate for many years in attempts to delay the need for dialysis, and now we finally have a legitimate study to back us up. Not only that, we have the added information that some people already on dialysis can reverse their condition with the use of sodium bicarbonate”.

Dose used to slow the rate of kidney decline in patients with CKD

• Approx. 600 mg  baking soda three times daily given orally in tablet form  (increased as necessary to achieve and maintain blood levels) – 600 mg is equivalent to ~ ¼ teaspoon baking soda powder, which can be taken dissolved in a small glass of water or juice for consumption.

Fruits and vegetables improve your kidney function. Such fruits include grapes, cranberries and blueberries; vegetables include fennel, onions, celery, beets, spinach, string beans and asparagus. If you are suffering from kidney disease, make sure the fruits and vegetables you eat are low in potassium.
