MD Cause:  Unknown. MDs talk about “Risk Factors” such as eating a lot of protein, sodium, and high-oxalate foods, such as chocolate or dark green vegetables. But not everybody who eats these things gets a kidney stone. Hmm… Must be genetic…

MD Rx:  Surgery or Ultrasound treatment to break up the stones with sound-waves.

ND Cause: Calcium DEFICIENCIES caused by overly acidic blood which is caused by the 12 Bad Foods and not enough minerals in the body.

Discussion: Most conventional medical doctors have a juvenile understanding of the way that calcium is metabolized in the body. It is common for an MD to tell you that if your blood levels of calcium are high then you need to cut down on your calcium supplements or dairy products because you are ingesting too much calcium. Just the opposite is true blood levels of calcium are inversely related to nutritional calcium status. Your body will go out of its way to maintain a proper pH of your blood. If your blood becomes a little too acidic or a little too alkaline the body will adapt and adjust quickly to bring the pH of the blood back to where it wants to be. It is really quite occult to alkalinize the blood, but it is very easy to acidify it. The standard American diet acidifies the blood like nobody’s business. When the blood becomes acidic the body activates a buffering system which sucks minerals out of your skeleton especially calcium using them to neutralize the acid in the blood. If you are eating food all of the time that makes your body acidic, then the buffering system will be activated all of the time. You will be leaching minerals from your bones even when you’re sleeping. Invariably this constant stealing of calcium and other minerals from your bones will make the calcium levels in your blood increase. When there is relatively too much calcium in your blood for an extended period of time, the kidneys will become jammed up with calcium. This is how calcium oxalate stones are formed. They are the most common type of kidney stones. Therefore, anybody with a kidney stone must be considered to be extremely deficient in calcium and other minerals.

Remember that the body has wisdom. It takes a long time for kidney stones to form, and they can become quite large. The body understands that there are stones in the kidney that have no business being there. An under-nutrified body does not have the ability to eliminate the stones. Oftentimes when people follow my advice and their bodies become strong in neutral side – ostensibly for the first time in their lives – their bodies will attempt to eject the kidney stones (if they are not too big). This is a problem. The passage of even a small kidney stone is extremely painful and unless you understand what’s going on here it would be easy for you to mistakenly think that the nutritional supplements gave you a kidney stone and made your body pass it. This is only half true. The nutritional supplement program made it easier for your kidney to eject the stone, but it was there in the first place because of chronic long-standing mineral deficiencies. 

As part of my treatment program I have outlined an emergency “Oh my God, I am passing a kidney stone!” protocol which can potentially save you a trip to the emergency room. Be advised that if you do go to the emergency room while you’re passing a kidney stone the only thing that they will do is give you anti-inflammatory drugs, pain medication, and wait for the stone to pass. No pain is better than lots of pain - so for something like this, the ER is not a bad idea. But if we can avoid that, then we are ahead of the game.

 Years ago, a patient came to me with a rather large kidney stone. The MDs wanted to perform surgery on him to remove it. Since this was a non-life-threatening surgery, he delayed it for four weeks because of a vacation that he was planning to take. I put him on a medical nutrition program for the four weeks that he was away – one with an emphasis on kidney health. When he came back from his vacation, he went to his MDs office for a pre-surgery checkup. They did an ultrasound, and low and behold- the kidney stone was no longer there! My program helped his body to dissolve the stone and eliminated without any pain whatsoever. Not bad. Please understand that everybody is different. I cannot guarantee that the same thing will happen to you. Nonetheless, it is always a good idea to support and promote your body’s built-in God-given ability to fix itself, keep your fingers crossed, and see what happens. By the way – his doctors never called me to find out what I did…
