Greetings, Eric Bakker, naturopath, coming back to you again. We're talking about kidneys today. So, we just did a little bit of a video previous on calcium oxalate, what that is and how calcium oxalate often is found implicated when it comes to kidney stones. In fact, the majority of kidney stones are calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate. It could also have a cysteine component which is a bit more rare. 

Some stones that we call staghorn, they're really weird crazy looking stones. These can form particularly in people who have a lot of urinary tract infections or blockages somewhere. You know they can get a lot of build up on minerals like calcium in the kidney. So yeah, so now we're gonna talk a little bit about a three week kidney detox or a three week cleanse that you can do quite regularly if you've got problems, at least once a year. I'm gonna do another video a bit later on about a bit of more of a thorough kidney flush which you wanna do annually. 

Now nobody talks about kidney detoxification. Have you noticed? It's all about liver detox. Liver detoxification! Bile detoxification! But what about the poor kidneys? The poor kidneys are poor little people that live in the lower back. They never really get any attention at all, do they? Well you wouldn't live long without them, so let's talk about how we can get them cleaned up a little bit. So, you'll find this actually on EricBakker.com, on my website if you look. 

So the three week kidney detox. So  run you through this. Well the first thing that you're going to do if you wanna get your kidneys in good shape is you're going to drink a lot more water. You don't need to be a brain surgeon to work that one out. Coca-cola is not gonna flush your kidney out too well, nor is coffee. 

Mountain Dew is not really going to clean your kidney, although it does look a little bit like radiator fluid when I look at that stuff in the shop. I was in the supermarket the other day holding up a bottle of Mountain Dew I thought, "What the hell? This looks like antifreeze!" You know, so how can people drink that kind of stuff is beyond me. 

So drink at least a liter, if not two liters of water per day over this three week period particular. You wanna drink a lot more water than you're drinking. Try and get a water filter. I really don't like bottled water. 

All this plastic crap that people have. You really wanna invest in a good water purification system for your home. If you work out what it's costing you to buy drums of water and bottles of water from Costco or wherever you buy, it's crazy how much you ... plastic that we consume, so it's good not to use it. But you need good water, so let's just count on about one a half liters minimum per day that I want you to drink. Reduce coffee and tea consumption. 

Now remember we spoke about this previous that lots of coffee, lots of tea, lots of highly acidic foods can increase the leaching or the reduction of calcium in your bone tissue. So when the blood pH is slightly changes, just fractionally changes, the body has to make that adjustment and it can do so because bone's not a static tissue. Okay? You've got osteoblasts that will break the bone down and release calcium and other minerals into the blood to adjust the pH of the bloodstream. You've got osteoclasts and other cells in the bone that actually build the bone health back up again. 

So bone's not solid. It's always moving in the body and depending on the quality of the blood and the pH of the blood so lots and lots of coffee and tea and soda drinks and acid foods are going to ensure that you're gonna leach more calcium and push you, potentially, into a calcium problem with your kidney. So just be mindful of that. 
Vitamin C can actually prevent the formation of kidney stones but there are some claims of vitamin C actually induces kidney stones. So I've written down here, "Human studies have shown that 10 grams per day of supplemental vitamin C for long periods never initiated or caused a problem." So I've looked up a few studies online. There are many studies that refute the ridiculous claim that ascorbic acid and vitamin C can induce your kidney stone problem. It doesn't happen. Especially if you're well hydrated...

Thanks for tuning in. I appreciate it.
