Nephritis Remedy Summary

Nephritis (high protein in urine) - Summary of Remedies from Ted and the Earth Clinic Community
Often bacterial in origin or the body has an infection.
1. Alkalize (raise immunity and reduce bacteria): Drink two tablespoons of Apple cider vinegar plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 a cup of water twice a day (morning and night) on an empty stomach for four to five days a week. Or two to eight teaspoons lime or lemon juice plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 cup of water twice a day. You can alternate between these two formulas.
2. Zinc: Take 50 mg of zinc gluconate per week.
3. Magnesium: Take 250 mg of magnesium citrate five days out of the week -- increases the body's defenses against bacteria, thus reducing the high protein in the kidneys.
4. Sea Salt: Add 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt in one liter of water and drink throughout the day -- will raise the salinity of the urine somewhat and the antibiotic effect of the salt will reduce the bacteria thus reducing the protein buildup in the urine.
5. Oil Pulling: See here https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/oil_pulling.html
6. Lecithin Granules: One tablespoon lecithin in a cup of water one to three times a day, 30 minutes before eating -- reduces excess fatty liver and reduces the liver's congestion.
7. Clove Oil: Mix one drop of clove oil in one liter of water and drink through the day - kills the bacterium in the liver, thus reducing the high protein in the kidneys.
*For cloudy urine, taking a vitamin B complex for a couple of days may help clear it up and reduce the protein buildup.
*Also discontinue drinking carbonated beverages

Nephrotic Syndrome Remedies
★★★★★
I have been doing some research for natural cures for Nephrotic Syndrome for kids. I saw in the website of Dr. Andrew Saul about the use of vitamin C in kidney problems. It says and I quote:
"Nephrotic Syndrome. This condition results from tissue damage and impaired nephron function. Its association with collagen diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, etc. ) is hardly accidental, for chronic deficiencies of vitamin C (and vitamin C's helpers, the bioflavinoids) cause the very event described by Williams on page 851: "The primary degenerative lesion is in the capillary basement membrane of the glomerulus which permits the escape of large amounts of protein into the filtrate." This is because capillaries, those tiniest and most numerous of all the blood vessels, get leaky in the absence of ample vitamin C."
I want to know if anyone has had any good outcome from this. A lot of cases I've read mentioned that they usually have attacks or relapses after a cold or flu, which meant they did not have enough Vitamin C.
Could it be that vitamin C can help? Has anyone known of any real life case?
Thanks for your help.

Dear Taurusmum: concerning your question about your son's kidney problem... Nephrotic syndrome; you make the argument for supplementation of Vitamin C splendidly yourself!
Remember it was Dr Linus Pauling who wrote and researched the effects of Vitamin C. And the quote from the book on the subject is quite convincing.
So what do you have to lose? Vitamin C can't hurt him. Just a few observations: if you take a lot of ascorbic acid (C) at once that is not time released the result will be a case of diarrhea. So give him a time released. And also if you give him large doses, remember ascorbic acid is acidic. Some prefer buffered C. You could experiment with what works best for him. If this were me, I'd try a time released in the AM and PM AFTER meals.
Okra
★★★★★
People with bad kidney try this and this works too. Buy fresh okra from food store but you will be using only two a day for every day till you feel better. Take two and cut both ends then split from one side leave them in glass of water for over night. In the morning squeeze them good and drink the water. You don't have to eat okra. Do it and let other people know.

I do know that Okra is excellent for diabetic patients and also aids in cleaning the gut.
Radish Leaf Juice
★★★★★
Dear GP
Please take a lot of radish leaf juice without adding water, sugar or salt every morning and evening, about 40 minutes before your meals. Radish leaves are excellent in melting your kidney stones. It is also very safe and excellent for chronic renal failure patients. There are absolutely no side effects. I am praying for you.
Stage III Kidney Failure
Hello; Suddenly found myself in Stage II kidney failure, big surprise. Been taking mild herbs, organic tea (marshmallow root and Cornsilk) for 2 months and I'm now in Stage III. Have always fought acidity, drinking only mineral water for years. Cannot tolerate Apple Cider Vinegar. I appreciate all the comments, is there a place where specific remedies are given. Thanks Gail

Gail Here is Teds answer to your problem. This email covers the whole picture and has exactly what to do. J
Thank you very much for your answers. I am sorry to hear about Ted. I am a nurse and unsure of the reason for the sudden kidney problems. I did have very high pressure before an aortic valve replacement; but it has been OK since then, I take one BP pill, and an herbal collection of remedy and it has been stable; my blood sugar results have been prediabetic, with a sudden spike. So, I am not sure of which direction to begin a natural healing; the obvious will be complete rejection of dialysis. MY other question is about mineral water. I knew I had acidity years ago, many UTI's and a kidney stone; led me, not ten doctors, to realize the stone was acid based. I did herbal and mineral water alkalinization; since I learned that mineral are very alkaline. But now I read that mineral may be hard to process in kidneys under stress. I am taking a supposedly herbal formula for kidney health, but it is not at all helping. I will try the Sodium barcobonate, should I stop the mineral water? Thanks again. Gail
Thank you very much for referral to Ted's remedies. To be honest, there are some complications which may make this more difficult
One is the fact that I have Barrets Syndrome; I tried to control it with cold pressed aloe vera gel, but it gave me severe diarrhea which increased my irritable bowel syndrome I believe caused by internal hemmorhoids since childbirth. So, I had to take Nexium, yes, I know bad, but when I stop the Nexium I can feel burning in my esophagus.
I BP has been controlled after 2 aortic valve replacements with one pharma pill and an herbal remedy for 2 years. And I have just found out I also have osteoporosis.
Does anyone know if mineral water which is alkaline is OK for the kidneys. I drink it for alkalinity but have heard the minerals may be hard on the kidneys.
I did take sodium bicarb for a while but found it burning my esophagus and stomach, same with apple cider vinegar.
As well, I am prediabetic and have always had high genetic cholesterol; but, I am boiling a soup of Leeks, parsnips, turnips, 2 potatoes, carrots and celery and my HDL is now fabulous my MD says. Thank you Janet for your reply. My my, it's soooo complicated. Gail

Gail, Ted's remedies seem complicated. I was very ill when I started. My husband was sick, it drove me. For myself it did not. It was his blood clot and the results of the remedy in the first 24 hours. Using baking soda reacted with lime. Not taken separately.
Truthfully it takes some studying. I had to reread and reread. My mind was not working my health was poor.
May I suggest that you do the first things to give your body an optimal platform to build your health.
Ted's remedies are information dense. In 5 years we have seen a pattern of things that work. Yet if I had begun with the basics I would have had quicker and better results.
Because I like you had multiple problems and diagnoses. I found it overwhelming. You can write a response, so your in good shape. I would have been unable. I had to have no light no sound and everyone in bed to come upstairs to use the computer, I wore sunglasses as the screen hurt my eyes, the whir of the fan hurt my pain addled brain. I wrote every word I read as I had no short or long term memory.
Here is the culmination of my experience with utilizing Teds information.
First and foremost....remove fluoride from your body. This also removes excess estrogen, from our environment. Which inturn gives your body the opportunity to heal.
4 days a week. For women 1/8 tsp of borax in 1 liter of spring water. Use this water, to add to or make beverages throughout the day.
Detox and heal soaks. This is ideal in the tub, foot soaks help too. 1 cup of borax, 2 cups epsom, 1/2 cup baking soda, 1 cup hydrogen peroxide. 1 capful fish tank dechlorinator. Chlorine steam is deadly to the heart. Your largest organ is your skin. It absorbs nutrients readily and effectively.
That 20 minute or more soak. Removes fluoride, adds non acidic boron, magnesium sulfate, oxygenates your blood, bicarbonate helps alkalinity.
Your information sounds like you are desperately low on magnesium and trace minerals. Buy magnesium flakes. In a mason jar, 60% flakes, 50% spring water, cap an leave sit 1/2 hour, shake it you have magnesium oil. I fill a 4oz spray bottle and a 2oz dropper bottle. This applied to skin stings if you are low so if it does, you can do a few things to stop it. Apply castor or almond oil first or after. Add some water to site. Or add more mag oil and wait it will stop. It is uncomfortable but doable. Magnesium is involved in every system in your body, organs, bones, connective tissue, muscle, elimination and absorption.
Take mag oil 4 to 5 drops in water 2x a day. Provides approx. 250mg of magnesium chloride per dose. Or mag malate for runny stool types or mag citrate for constipated types. At least 250mg 2x a day.
The benefits are endless. In your case, needed. The sphincters that open and close in esophagus and organs need to be supple and strong. To keep acid in your stomach. To optimize your gallbladder, liver, pancreatic action, correct elimination in kidney, bladder. It further adds supple action to arteries and veins. It optimizes your heart muscle. Improves heart and therefore kidney function.
Chlorine in water and environment must be reduced. Sodium thiosulfate crystals, purchase online. From photographers supply. Some take a crystal, like a pill, before showers. Some take it before bed to sleep better. I used to add a crystal to every gallon of water for kitchen use. This was how we take borax too. 6 of us. I keep a gallon of water on sink I add 1/4 tsp borax to it in the am. 4 or 5 days a week. Just the first am one. The rest just get s.t.
I suggest you read Teds chapters for, Barretts and you other issues. You will find a repetition of of the same things that Ted recommends for 1 it will repeat in the next. The beauty of it is often the writer of question to him often has your issues or problems. Sometimes asking the question of Ted as if he were able to himself, answer.
Trace minerals, my favorite is 1/4 tsp of sea salt in a glass of water. If you do not like that, then you can purchase trace minerals as a liquid online. You will find your efforts improve with these in place.
Elimination is important. 1/4 tsp cilantro 2x a week in food or off a spoon removes metals. 2 tbsp lecithin at the same time removes bad vegetable oils and fats if taken at the same time. S.T. for chlorine. Borax for fluoride and excess estrogen. Apple cider vinegar reacted with baking soda to emulsify stones and debris in g.b. and other organs. The baking soda is needed to raise levels the g.b. cannot, due to our poor diets. Which then helps create the amount of bile needed to digest properly. Stopping bile duct obstruction. Then the baking soda lime or Apple Cider Vinegar drink goes further to clean out bladder and kidney. All this without herxing.
There is more. But these are foundational to health.
I also recommend Teds and Bills book on alkalizing to really understand human health.
Dr. Michael Holicks you tube video about vitamin D3 it is the first and foremost depleted nutrient in the world today. It changed our lives.
No aspartame, no msg, no vegetable oils, sugar, avoid all aluminum, plastics, coated pans.
This may help. Janet
In reply to Gail (Kingston, Ny),
Melatonin may be of help for you as it is kidney protective, can help to restore circadian rythyms which are often disrupted in CKD, antioxidant boosting and it can help with GERD associated issues while having an excellent safety profile and very low probability for allergic reaction because it is naturally produced in the body. Melatonin has many health benefits in the human body and does much more than just act as a sleep aid.
Here is an article discussing melatonin and esophogeal injury:
https://www.karger.com/Article/FullText/369656
Another article discussing melatonin and the kidneys:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5411918/
This should be worth discussing with your doctor to see if it is something you can take. Given the seriousness of your illness, your doctor's approval is needed and important to make sure melatonin will be compatible with the drugs and supplements you are currently taking.

To Janet about the above.
so drinking 1/8 borax plus the borax baths is not too much?
I have hign BUN and serious systemic Candida. I have started on les then 1/8 borax in a liter and I take Mesosilver. Hope these are okay together. I also take bs morning and evening.
In reply to Becky (Ca),
If the colloidal silver you are using is not capped, the borax will cause it to agglomerate which will cause the silver to form into larger particles which are just about useless in terms of antibacterial and antiviral activity.
Add borax to a small amount of colloidal silver that you have and stir it well. If the CS changes color in any way, it is not capped.

I have never had any problems with Borax.
There are some that do. In our family of 6, none.
We have used it as the basis for all following therapies. Including Silver.
The thing I believe is problematic that most do not address is calcium. It is the devil. I have seen and experienced great things with the elimination of excess calcium and adding D3 and magnesium. Magnesium just displaces the candida. D3 gives the foundation to build on.
In our case, calcium was preventing anything from moving forward. Excess calcium exists in your circulation and joints. Without good circulation you prevent the remedies from working.
So, if you were my daughter, this is what I would do.
Take your borax water. In beverages or in a glass of water through the day. This removes excess estrogen from our environment and food and water. It provides boron a critical trace element. Fights candida. Helps displace some calcium.
I take baths all the time. Borax 1 cup and 2 cups of Epsom. Fish tank dechlorinator. 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide. H2o2 oxygenates the body providing further relief from symptoms. We just came back from a trip. Our hot tub in the room was where I resided as often as possible. Double amounts to soak. Big tub!
My skin and hair are amazing for an old lady. Never have to exfoliate or any treatments of any kind. I had cystic acne and hamburger face for years. My girls use borax for every skin and beauty treatment...it is first. Saturated borax water. Their friends are amazed at the difference it has made these last 5 years. We buy a case of borax. Dogs and people. All bathe in it. Since we put a fluoride filter on the shower they love their hair too. I realize these are not your issues. It illustrates how much we need that in and on our bodies.
Ted and Bill's book on Alkalinity and Bill's book on Candida are truly treasures. Real help. Real facts. Life changing information. These are the guides to overcoming the mess of ill health. They saved myself and my family.
Borax made all the difference for each of my family. From 19 yrs old...to my Mom who just turned 81.
Saturated borax water recipe. About 2/3 cup of Borax in a 2 gallon bucket. Let stand for an hour or so. Dip fill spray bottles. Put some in a storage jar or 2 for washing hair or last rinse. Leave in hair to dry. To clean I add 5% ammonia for around the house or 1% hydrogen peroxide. I have thrown away all commercial cleaners. Including and especially bleach.
So every therapy we have done has always had borax water as part of the equation. We have not encountered any problems.

Nephritis Summary Revised...
Excess protein may be linked to taking too much protein and lack of digestive enzyme that digests the protein, such as protease, and may be supplemented with pancreatic enzymes, bromelain enzymes and to some extent papain. The total protease should be 50 to 100 mg taken before meals 3 times a day, bromelain 2500 GDU, and papain roughly 250 to 500 mg also three times a day. There was a case where a doctor gave patients 10 white eggs a day plus steroids as a way to reduce urine protein but that actually made it worse. Milk powder also worsened. An excess urine protein can also be lack of amino balance such as arginine or glutamine, for example.
A simple test is possible. A protein free diet or caloric restriction for 3 days to see if there is improvement.
