Top 10 No Side Effect Foods for Toxic Kidneys | Kidney care Tips by Dr. Eric Berg DC
I want to share with you the number one best food for toxic kidneys. when you're diagnosed with kidney disease, especially at the end stage don't really have any good solutions that give you a good prognosis.
Doctors might say that you have to get kidney dialysis, that's just terrible to go through. Kidney is a filter so any drugs that they give you are going to be more toxic to the kidney. so, when we're dealing with a damaged filter we need to use something natural that has virtually no side effects.
Understanding the kidneys
The kidney filters out chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, heavy metals, plastics, and excess minerals and it recycles a lot of things too, it gets rid of excess sugar. Of course, if you're eating a lot of sugar it destroys the filter because diabetes is the number one cause of kidney disease, it also gets rid of excess protein byproducts. so, when we eat protein and that breaks down it goes to a chain reaction of things that end up with ammonia which is very very toxic to several parts of the body, especially the neurons in your brain, and this is why if someone has too much ammonia that goes up into the brain because it's too much in the blood it can end up with dementia.
Normally, what happens is the body has this urea cycle where this protein that turns into ammonia then turns into a lesser toxic thing called urea, that's supposed to be excreted through the urine.
The liver is also involved in this process, so if you have a really toxic kidney, chances are you also have a toxic liver because they work closely together. unfortunately, you are swimming in a sea of toxicity. What I mean is that there are over a thousand new chemical compounds created every single hour. so we are just getting hit from every different angle.
We need healthy kidneys and a healthy liver to deal with all this toxicity. the kidney is the main organ that helps activate vitamin D the liver is involved too but the kidney is even more important in the conversion of the inactive Vitamin D to the active form of vitamin D. I believe you know how important Vitamin D is to our body. As I said before diabetes is one of the main big causes of kidney disease.
