Renal Failure/Dead Kidneys

[seriousfix]

I have a friend who has his original kidneys, they just don't work. He has had two transplants and both have failed and he has been on dialysis for several years now.

Is there anything that can make his kidneys function again?

Thank you in advance.

He needs another transplant. Hopefully he's still eligible for one.

Have you contacted a Nutripath Doctor about your friends situation?

This site has a lot of ideas, including "urine therapy" :eek: but the other things might give you started in the right direction.

With kidney failure combine the Ultimate Cleanse with Reflexology, diet, and drinking as much diluted lemon or grapefruit juice or (organic) cider vinegar as possible before meals without causing fluid retention. The citrus juices should be freshly pressed and diluted with water that has a low mineral content. If the body is or becomes too acid see if you can neutralize it with spirulina powder.

To recapitulate: Have a high fluid intake as unpolluted water (rain water, filtered or distilled), diluted herb teas or diluted wheat grass juice and fresh vegetable juices; minimise the intake of meat, sweet food, sodium, calcium and phosphates; use plenty of raw food, especially salads and acid citrus fruit. Have frequent and prolonged fasting periods on apples, citrus fruit, wheat grass and other vegetable juices, try urine fast; do the ultimate cleanse and test for food allergies.

The most important supplements are ascorbic acid, vitamin B6, magnesium and zinc, ground linseed, fish oils, and a mixture of kidney herbs,. Sanitise your front teeth, possibly spinal adjustment and stimulation at the small of the back, experiment with packs, colour therapy, reflexology and mind improvement methods.

To get rid of kidney stones, drink lemonade - per the Journal of Urology no less

Lemonade Medicine
Men and women who drink lemonade may be getting an added benefit ... protection from kidney stones. Lemonade concentrate is one of the most effective ways to stop stones. That's the finding of a study in the Journal of Urology. When patients drank two liters of water every day with concentrated lemon juice containing citric acid, they had an 87% decrease in kidney stone formation.

A little warning - citrus, especially grapefruit, will increase the absorbtion of medicines by as much as 5 times! So check out this list to see if she is on any drugs that might react with citrus.
