KIDNEY DISEASE
Three items common to the modern diet are disasters for the kidneys: protein powders, microwaved food and commercial ice cream. Any form of concentrated protein puts a strain on the kidneys—that includes lean meat, egg whites and skim milk—and protein powders are unnaturally concentrated. Eat meat with the fat, eggs with the yolks, chicken with the skin and whole (not lowfat) milk, and don’t overdo the protein foods. Above all, avoid the powders, which not only are highly concentrated but contain proteins damaged in processing.

Microwaved foods can contain kidney toxins, and commercial ice cream contains propylene glycol, an antifreeze—said to be “food grade” but antifreeze is a known kidney toxin. In fact, propylene glycol is in many processed foods—one reason out of many for the kidney patient to avoid processed foods completely.

Gadolinium, given to patients before an MRI, is highly toxic to the kidneys. Mercury (as in amalgam fillings), gold, lithium, silicon (in a form found in grain dust), penicillamine, excess selenium, welding fumes, and gasoline and/or diesel fumes are all toxic to the kidneys. Eat only organic grains in order to avoid glyphosate, which interferes with detoxifying enzymes in the kidneys. In addition, diabetes can lead to kidney disease (see DIABETES).

The list of drugs that have kidney-toxic effects is a long one. These include blood pressure medications such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), cyclosporin, NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin), tacrolimus, aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, cisplatin, foscarnet, analgesics, anticancer drugs, lithium, calcineurin inhibitors, antivirals and antibiotics. Obviously, for healthy kidneys, these all need to be avoided.

Homemade bone broth and whole raw milk provide dietary support for the kidneys. The Raw Milk fast (page 22) was used traditionally for kidney disease. Avoid all processed food, eat plenty of grass-fed butter and take cod liver oil plus high-vitamin butter oil and/or Australian emu oil daily (page 54). Some kidney specialists prescribe the B vitamin niacin, 100-500 mg per day three times per day, although a methylated B vitamin complex (see SOURCES) may work just as well.

Renatrophin PMG and Renafood are Standard Process products that support kidney health.

Drinking structured water (page 26) is important for kidney health. A product called Divinia Water (diviniabottledwater.wixsite.com/divinia/buy-now), which is deuterium-depleted and highly structured, has helped many individuals reverse kidney disease.

Many have found urine therapy (page 64) to be helpful. Ditto for the baking soda protocol (page 49).

Herbs for kidney health include silver birch, European ash, nettle seed and milk thistle, taken in the form of tinctures or herbal teas. Strauss Naturals Kidney Support drops provide an excellent kidney remedy (straussnaturals.com).

Apis mellifica and Arsenicum album are homeopathy remedies for kidney health.
