Remedy Description

Kidney inflammation (nephritis)



This and related kidney conditions, such as kidney stones, are the result

of excessive retention of uric acid in the kidneys, owing to an overload of

acid wastes in the blood from incomplete digestion of improperly com-

bined foods; left unattended, uric acid forms painful crystals or 'stones'

in the kidneys.





Asparagus: contains asparamid, nature's most effective kidney diuretic;

asparagus gives urine a strong odor of ammonia, which indicates that

excess uric acid is being rapidly expelled; asparamid breaks up oxalic

acid crystals in kidneys and muscles (cooked spinach and cooked toma-

toes leave oxalic acid in the system); steam a bunch of fresh asparagus

for 3 minutes or less and consume immediately, once daily.



Watermelon: for nephritis, the watermelon cure is an excellent adj

asparagus therapy; eat nothing but lightly steamed asparagus ai

of raw watermelon for 24-48 hours.



Cucumbers: raw cucumbers, in bulk or juice, are excellent kidney di

and alkalizing agents; may be mixed with carrot and beet juice,

daily.



Other beneficial foods: apple cider vinegar; barley water; parsley;

juice; lecithin; cabbage; black grapes.



Foods to avoid: salt and salt-preserved foods; soy sauce; shellfish;

coffee and tea; cooked spinach and tomatoes; alcohol; hot pep







Red beet juice: raw red beet juice has strong natural affinity for the

kidneys;



it is one of nature's best kidney cleansers, dissolving acid crystals and

quickly eliminating the 'gravel' from the kidneys; its affinity for kidneys

is reflected in red coloration of urine; take 8 oz raw beet juice, 2-3 tsp

at

a time, over a 24-hour period, with no other foods.
