KIDNEY STONES
As a child I remember hearing a member of the family ( name Withheld) screaming in
pain in the toilet, then coming out in about 15 minutes, totally soaked in sweat.
I later discovered that he had passed a kidney stone.
For those of you that have never passed a stone, you don’t want to know the pain and torture of
it all.
Although I have never personally passed one, I had many people that did.
Most described it as a pain so severe, that it took their
breath away.
Some dropped right to the floor, crying and screaming. "ere is no running away from it and it feels like you are peeing a combination
of sharp broken glass and boiling acid.
From the amount of blood in some of my patients’ urine, it looked like they were bleeding to death.
Not a pleasant experience at all.”
Because the kidneys try to filter acids and minerals out of your
blood, but get overloaded as I
stated earlier, you can get a build-up of mineral gravel, stones, acid crystals and mineral plaque inside your kidneys. !is sediment can build up over years and turn into rocks, but it can also literally turn your kidneys
into petrified rock.
It can take over your entire kidney structure and eventually become fossilized. The vast majority of all kidney stones are made up of calcium.
Isn’t it interesting, that we always seem to be trying to get
more calcium into our diets?
In many people’s attempts to get
more calcium into their bodies,
ironically, they actually lose more instead. This often happens
when women, worried about osteoporosis, start drinking more
milk and eating more dairy products.
One culprit of breast cancer!
😳🤦♂️🤔
In addition,
Animal food is very high in
calcium, but also very high in
protein.
When you consume it, as part of the digestive process of any high-protein food, you often end up peeing out more calcium, because your body attempts to utilize all this protein.
All this calcium pouring out of your
blood and flooding through
your kidneys actually overloads
your kidneys with calcium.
So, what you want to do is not only get more calcium into your mouth, but also get calcium that will stay in your blood and eventually get into your bones, not getting urinated away.
why low-protein, but high-Calcium foods, are much better choices and we can retain the calcium in our blood.
So Carrots, citrus and greens are much better choices than high-protein milk and dairy products.
