Kidney disease and kidney stones can be caused by a variety of infections, toxins, and nutritional excesses (i.e., hypervitaminosis D) and deficiencies (i.e., deficiencies of vitamin A, selenium and zinc). Kidney disease can be secondary to cardiovascular disease or diabetes. Kidney stones, contrary to popular belief by the orthodox doctor, are caused by calcium and magnesium deficiencies which cause a depletion of calcium from your bones which is the source of the calcium found in the kidney stones. Prevention of kidney stones includes adequate levels of supplementary calcium and magnesium (impossible to get enough from your diet especially if you are a big consumer of inorganic phosphorus-- meat and carbonated soft drinks). Excess vitamin D (suntanning, fish oil, and supplementation) concurrently with a calcium deficiency will accelerate the depletion, thus, increase the risk of stones. Check for cadmium (metallic inorganic) toxicity with hair analysis. Treatment of kidney disease and kidney stones should include supplementation of calcium and magnesium at 2,000 mg and 1,000 mg per day, reduction of your phosphorous intake, adequate vitamin A 25,000-30,000 IU vitamin A per day as beta carotene, B-6 at 50mg t.i.d., lysine and glutamic acid and herbs including dandelion (Traxacum officinale), dwarf elder (Sambucus ebulus), goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea), java tea (Orthosiphon stamineus), parsley (Petro Selenium crispum), horsetail (Equisetum spp.), mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) and cranberry juice. Chelation will help kidney disease, kidney disease that is secondary to cardiovascular disease and... ...possible causes for kidney dysfunction:
2. Chromium toxicity 3. Selenium toxicity Toxicity of these minerals is in the "metallic inorganic form" as opposed to the Organic colloidal form. There is a big difference between the two. I hope that you find this data useful, and relevant to your situations.
