i want to talk about a surprising way

to cleanse toxic kidneys what you have

to realize is that the kidney

is just as important as the liver in

detoxification in fact they work

together because the liver does

something called phase 1 phase 2

detoxification

and this is where you have various

enzymes that are turning

fat soluble poisons

into harmless water soluble

particles so both the gallbladder with

its bile

and the kidney help to eliminate these

water soluble

particles that used to be fat soluble

poisons so if there’s any problem with

the liver where you don’t get this water

soluble breakdown product then it

overloads the kidney and the other parts

of the digestive tract so it’s very very

important to have each detoxification

organ to be working

to share the load

so the liver gets hammered with

xenobiotics which are just like

chemicals in the environment uh

pesticides herbicides fungicides

things like that steroid byproducts

from your own body’s production of

steroids that would be like estrogen

progesterone cortisol things like that

and then drugs okay medications

just hammer the liver and the kidneys

then we have glyphosate which is an

entire food supply not to mention it’s

in the water it’s in foods it’s all over

the place then you have things like pcbs

which are chemicals in plastics so the

water bottle that you drink the the

plastic that you microwave your lunch in

all can leech out these um chemicals

and your liver and your kidney have to

deal with them so each year more

chemicals are being pumped out and our

environment is becoming more and more

toxic so our bodies are having to deal

with this and detoxify them

so the kidneys

get rid of certain protein byproducts

and eliminate urea

ammonia and uric acid and so if there’s

kidney weakness those things can build

up and create

toxicity and so the kidney really is

just um a composite of

millions of tiny little

filters okay just filtering things out

and so a really good way to test these

little filters is to check something

called the gfr

glomerular filtration rate

and that just measures how fast things

are being

filtered through the kidney the kidney

has to do with heavy metals

the worst heavy metal would be cadmium

because the kidney has a very difficult

time getting rid of that heavy metal and

cadmium usually comes from smoking

because it’s in the fertilizer that they

use to grow tobacco it’s also in

commercial soybeans

so cadmium hits the kidney the most out

of any body tissue in fact 20 of

osteoporosis is caused by

cadmium toxicity then you have mercury

right very toxic to the kidneys um

mercury fillings which i had all mine

removed i think every single tooth in my

skull had silver mercury fillings also

when you consume uh larger fish it can

be

pretty toxic with mercury now as you age

you lose the ability to filter a

nine-year-old has like 50 percent

of kidney function compared to a 20 year

old and these

chemicals that were exposed to in the

kidney destroy the mitochondria then you

lose more and more ability to detoxify

and then these chemicals accumulate and

they recirculate through the body then

you have nsaids right so many people

around those for inflammation

before you had a good prescription but

as soon as those patents ran out they

became over the counter and so a lot of

people are taking way more of those than

they really should

and there’s no long-term studies

on the chronic

exposure to nsaids on different body

tissue especially the kidney but we do

know that if you’ve been exposed to

nsaids over three years

it can cause irreversible kidney damage

now the other very important thing i

want to talk about

is the consumption of too much sodium

and not enough potassium

when people think about potassium they

immediately think that it’s

bad for the kidneys but it’s not there’s

a lot of new

science that shows that potassium is

kidney protective it’s called

nephroprotection

and i put a lot of the research down in

the description so you can check it out

but an average person at least in the

u.s consumes between 3.4 grams to 4.9

grams of sodium every single day that’s

49 100 milligrams okay

as far as potassium goes

an average person only consumes 2.1

to 2.6 grams of potassium when they

actually need at least 4 700 milligrams

every single day and when you have too

much sodium

and not enough potassium there’s three

big problems number one

you potentially can get high blood

pressure number two heart disease and

number three

chronic kidney disease you know many

doctors tell patients focus on sodium

sodium sodium but they’re they don’t

talk about potassium the sodium

potassium ratio is way more important

than just one of these minerals

if you have enough potassium you’re

protected against the excess amount of

sodium so in reality those ratios should

be completely

reversed you should have at least twice

as much potassium as sodium and this is

mainly due because of low potassium

diets

the three things that affect you

especially the kidney when you are on a

low potassium diet is number one you get

inflammation of the kidney number two

you get a lot of oxidation and free

radical damage on the kidney

and the third thing is fibrosis of the

kidney you’re basically going to lose

the function of the kidney now

the other thing that is also very

important and you may already know this

if you watch my other videos

is that the number one thing that

destroys the kidney is a high carb

diet because if you take a look at

diabetics for example

they have four main big problems

they usually always have kidney problems

because glucose

destroys the kidney filter high levels

of glucose of the kidney crave massive

oxidation and destroy the kidney that’s

why diabetics have such a high risk of

being on kidney dialysis long term i

mean the big push is to control your

blood sugars

but not to control the diet

the high sugar if you’re controlling the

blood glucose medications where do you

think this glucose is going when you

take the medication is it evaporating

no it’s just going from one place to

another it’s being shoved in different

parts of the body unless you get off

these carbs i don’t care how much you

try to regulate the glucose in your

blood

it’s going to create a problem in

another place

but the four places that

high glucose either being a pre-diabetic

or diabetic effect is number one the

kidney number two the brain and the

nerves

three the vascular system and the heart

and number four the eye but diabetic

nephropathy

is a very common condition with

diabetics

and it’s destruction of the kidney

because you’re a diabetic you have high

glucose flowing through your bloodstream

now overall the common symptoms for

kidney problems would be anemia

high blood pressure we’ve already talked

about that itchiness

edema foamy urine because you’ve lost

kidney function and if the kidneys can’t

filter out the protein it starts getting

foamy and then you have ammonia breath

it’s another symptom and then a metallic

taste in your mouth

and frequent urination which usually is

occurring because

you have too much glucose in the

bloodstream

this is why the best thing to do for

frequent urination

is to give up your carbs and stop

snacking at night

it produces dramatic effects within days

okay you won’t be getting up through the

night i’ll put that video down below

and then the last big symptom uh that

occurs with kidney problems is darker

urine okay your urine is darker brown

because you’re getting more byproducts

that are going through this filter

that’s damaged all right so this is the

list of what to do to start cleaning

the kidney and i think a better word for

that would be to improve the

detoxification pathways of the kidney so

number one the most important thing is

to eliminate the toxic exposure on your

kidneys so you need to start eating

cleaner or going on an organic diet

getting a water filter

making sure that you’re on the least

amount of medications possible basically

eliminating the things that are

destroying the kidney and it could be

just giving up smoking and it could be

also making sure you don’t consume any

more soy products right all right number

two going on a low carb diet it’s going

to give the kidney a tremendous amount

of relief because now there’ll be a

whole heck of a lot less oxidation going

on in the kidney all right number three

you need to correct your sodium

potassium

ratios okay now i’m not telling you to

lower your sodium all you need to do is

make sure your potassium is at least

twice as high as your sodium how do you

do that start eating more avocados start

having bigger amounts of salad

ideally between seven to ten cups every

day now if you’re doing other vegetables

you don’t have to do that much salad but

you need to start increasing more foods

high in potassium but potassium is

protective on the kidney

and i’m going to put all that data down

below as well all right number four if

you have a lot of kidney stress okay

you don’t want to overload it with too

much protein you want to go on a

moderate protein diet

when you overload the kidneys with too

much protein you can end up with foamy

urine

you can put a little more stress on the

kidneys because your body can only deal

with so much protein it doesn’t store

protein

like fat in carbohydrates it has to deal

with this excess protein so it either

has to turn it into

urea

as a waste product or it has to turn it

into glucose as fuel

so too much protein is not a good idea

for the kidney all right number five

there are foods that you should be

eating to naturally enhance

the detoxification of the kidney

and let me just go through the list

garlic garlic will increase the

clearance of urea and other and other

byproducts from the kidney then we have

asparagus okay now when you eat

asparagus you have this weird smell

going on in your urine that’s not toxic

material it’s something else

for another video but asparagus is

really good to help you detoxify the

kidney and then we have celery another

good detoxifier and then parsley awesome

parsley is also good to help eliminate

heavy metals from the body

cilantro is also good as well then we

get turmeric which is awesome for the

kidney

cruciferous vegetables those are good

for the liver but they’re also equally

as good for the kidney berries

especially blueberries are really good

for kidney detoxification and then green

tea the phytonutrient in green tea can

really help the kidneys detoxify

effectively now if you haven’t checked

out my video

on the best way to clean the liver

i think that would be appropriate check
