i want to share with you

the number one best food

for toxic kidneys in order to understand

that i have to give you a little

background information but the big

problem when you’re diagnosed with

kidney disease especially if it’s end

stage kidney disease

is that they don’t really have any good

solutions that give you a good prognosis

you know they might say well you have to

get kidney dialysis you know and that’s

just terrible terrible to go through

that and the prognosis from that is just

not good they’re not giving you any

natural solutions

the thing with the kidney is that it’s a

filter so any drugs that they give you

is going to be more toxicity to the

kidney so when we’re dealing with a

damaged filter we need to use something

natural that has virtually no side

effects

so this kidney filters out chemicals

pesticides insecticides herbicides

fungicides heavy metals plastics

excess minerals it recycles a lot of

things too it’s very very efficient it

gets rid of excess sugar and 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 they

can end up with

dementia

all sorts of really terrible things

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 and

that’s supposed to be

you know excreted through the urine and

so the liver is also involved in this

process as well and 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 our environment i mean

there’s over a thousand new chemical

compounds

created every single

hour okay so we’re just getting hit from

every different angle so we need healthy

kidneys we need healthy liver

to deal with all this toxicity also 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 d

to the active form of vitamin d and you

know how important d is and like i said

before diabetes is one of the main

big causes of kidney disease so what are

the symptoms of toxic kidneys okay well

you can have gout

which is uric acid building up usually

in your

the joint of your big toe and that

mainly occurs because the kidney is not

able to get rid of

this uric acid effectively

kidney stones where you have this super

concentrated

calcium oxalate stone that develops in

the kidney you can prevent stones by

consuming enough liquids so we don’t

have this super concentrated

solution

puffy eyes you can look at someone’s

face and just look around their eyes

and you can see kidney problems so if

it’s puffy especially underneath and on

top

usually they have kidney issues because

the fluids backing up they also have

edema in their lower ankles when you

press on the lower ankle it leaves an

indentation they might have itchy skin

they might have glucose in the urine or

protein in the urine their urine might

smell very very strong of ammonia and

like i said before if the kidney was

doing its job you would just have urea

but if there’s too much ammonia this

whole breakdown process is not occurring

because the kidney is damaged

and ammonia like i said before is very

very toxic to the brain your urine might

look very very dark and foamy that

usually means that this filter is not

filtering just like if you were to

change the oil filter in your car if you

haven’t changed it for for a couple

years it’s going to be really really

dark and filled with all sorts of things

now the foamy part is usually too much

protein in the urine because it’s not

being recycled properly

and you may even experience high blood

pressure

okay so now the question is what is the

best food out of all the foods

that can support toxic kidneys and i

looked at what the kidney is supposed to

do what occurs when you have toxicity in

your kidneys

and this is what i came up with right

here

bok choy

now why would bok choy

be the number one food well first of all

it is a cruciferous vegetable

and that means that it has enzymes to

help with something called phase two

detoxification now since we’re trying to

detoxify poisons from the body consuming

more cruciferous is going to help you in

that process because it takes these

poisons and it turns into harmless

particles so it takes the stress off

the kidney number two it’s high in

potassium potassium is very protective

to the kidney a lot of times people will

say well you need to avoid sodium

no you need to increase potassium

because potassium is a mineral it’s very

protective it’s also high in magnesium

which is also protective

and the thing about bok choy is it has

no oxalates like things like almonds and

spinach and a lot of other vegetables

and legumes and beans and grains and

things like that they’re high in

oxalates and eating too many foods with

oxalates could cause you to create

kidney stones so it’s low in oxalates

and it’s low in protein so if you have

protein in the urine

you don’t want to be consuming a lot of

protein why because it’s going through

you want to consume less protein but

just higher quality

protein but with bok choy it hits all

the different factors

so you can just steam it put some garlic

on it maybe a little sea salt and it’s

actually quite healthy

all right number two

consume apple cider vinegar with some

water okay through the day what is that

gonna do the acetic acid in apple cider

vinegar is kidney protective it’ll help

you okay it will also help your blood

sugars which again is the

big cause of kidney problems in the

first place and of course i didn’t

mention this but you would definitely

want to get on the ketogenic diet and do

fasting for sure okay lemon juice why

because lemon juice has citric acid and

that can reduce

the risk of getting stones

also lemon juice even though it’s an

acid turns into an alkaline solution in

your body

and that can help with gout too because

any time when you have these uric acid

crystals that are depositing into the

joint if you alkalize the body a little

bit

it’ll stop that process

okay

celery juice or just celery by itself

okay it decreases ammonia and urea it

helps detoxify this ammonia and it helps

decrease the risk of

stones

number five lower the amount of protein

like i just mentioned to about three

ounces of protein per meal especially if

your protein is high in your urine all

right number six make sure your diet is

high in potassium you need big salads

small to moderate protein huge salads no

grains or sugars or anything like that

but a high potassium diet would be

protective

to the kidney like i said before it’s

not about lowering your sodium because

you need certain amounts of sodium and

chloride but it’s you really need the

ratios correct so we usually need to

increase the potassium and not really

touch the sodium

distilled water is water without the

minerals and the other chemicals when

you consume distilled water it can help

detoxify

a lot of poisons

in your body it pulls things out that

way you can take the minerals that you

really need without the minerals that

you don’t want like excessive amounts of

things like calcium

and things like that so distilled water

is really good for

kidney stones it’s good for gout and

toxicity in general like the worst thing

you can do is to drink tap water when

you have bad kidneys because there’s so

many chemicals fluoride and chloride and

all sorts of things now number eight

probiotics

your gut contributes to making ammonia

so if you were to just consume

either foods with probiotics like kimchi

or sauerkraut or take a probiotic that

could take some of the load off the

kidney okay same thing with the liver

you could take like milk thistle that

would be a good thing to do to take more

stress off the kidney

zinc has been known to decrease ammonia

and urea in the urine so just make sure

you have enough zinc in the diet

and lastly there’s a great

product

by a company called standard processed

is called arginx i’m not affiliated with

that company but this product is

something i used to use in practice

arginx is basically arginase which is an

enzyme that helps convert some of this

byproduct of protein into something that

you can get rid of so it’s great to

detoxify the kidney and especially the

biochemistry that occurs at the end of

this

urea cycle okay so arginx is really good

for gout it’s good for kidney stones

it’s good for toxicity in the kidney and

you would take a good amount of this

per day so you can look it up stand a

process and order it now before you go i

have some exciting news i finally after

many many months actually probably took

us a year we finally upgraded our new dr

berg app that you can download for free

and this will allow you to carry me

around with you so anytime you have a

question you want to do some research on

a topic you’ll be able to get access to

all my videos because you’ll have the
