Remarkable permanent cures for kidney and bladder trouble have been achieved with water in which the pods of kidney beans have been cooked. This was discovered by Dr. Ramm, of Preetz, Germany, around the turn of the century, and reported by him—after 25 years of research.
Dr. Ramm had been treating a woman for dropsy (accumulation of fluid in the tissues) following a valvular disease of the heart. Nothing worked. Suddenly, while making his rounds one day, he discovered that her swelling was gone! She told him she had accidentally drunk a glass of kidney bean water, and began passing large amounts of crystal clear urine—it happened every time she tried it. After three weeks of this her dropsy was gone!
Just to make sure, she continued drinking the kidney pod tea for a few weeks, then stopped. The condition never returned. Dr. Ramm said she was as healthy as a woman can be. Dr. Ramm tried it on other patients. In all cases of heart disease and other ailments, large quantities of clear urine were passed, and long-standing cases of dropsy were cured in a matter of days, and stayed cured.
He found that kidney blockage of long duration was completely cured with bean pod water, and that bleeding from any part of the urinary system was quickly halted! Stones and gravel were rapidly dissolved, and did not return! Diseases of the bladder and ureter were cured! Rheumatism and acute gout vanished! Even some cases of diabetes were cured! In severe cases, it took longer—but it worked if used faithfully! Dr. Ramm called it his "wonder cure."
In some cases, the kidney bean water caused nausea, in which case Dr. Ramm gave it in enemas instead (a half pint with a teaspoon of salt, every two to four hours) —and the results were just as good as the drink. In fact, the enema seemed to halt the convulsions of uremia, releasing large amounts of water.
Around the same time Dr. Ramm was experimenting with this kidney treatment, Dr. Isenburg of Hamburg was obtaining similar results, as reported by one of Isenberg's patients:
About nine years ago, in 1897, I began to suffer from a very disagreeable feeling of pressure in the region of the bladder, which increased to an intense pain through excitement or psychic depression. In the course of the next few years this state very slowly became worse, until in 1906 violent pains appeared in tire right ureter. At the same time the pain in the bladder suddenly increased considerably. My physician diagnosed an inflammation of both organs, but none of those I consulted were able to give any relief.
The urine showed pus, sometimes in considerable quantities. In 1905, sometimes before these last symptoms developed, other had appeared which consisted of severe pains in the small of the back. They tormented me constantly, and often I could not fall asleep. Cold rubs and liniments only brought a temporary improvement.
The pains constantly increased during the spring of 1906 and muscular rheumatism set in. This was so violent that I could hardly wash myself in the morning and evening. Rubbings with water and plasters hardly brought any relief. These various ailments finally became so very bad that I was never free from pains; and they increased constantly in violence.
At this time—in the summer of 1906—the tea of ripe bean pods was recommended to me… So I sent for five pounds of bean pods. I began the treatment according to directions. I did not have to wait long for results; large masses of uric acid crystals and albuminous matter were excreted, and that initiated a decrease of pain in the bladder and kidneys. The pain in the bladder disappeared entirely in about three weeks, the muscular rheumatism also diminished in the next few weeks, and disappeared entirely in seven or eight weeks.
I was soon entirely free from my very great sufferings and have not had any trouble since, as I have been using the tea off and on. The enormous excretion of uric acid crystals during the use of the tea was really remarkable (they often covered the bottom of the night vessel).
Dr. Ramm said that bean pod water must be freshly* made and taken the same day as it is prepared. If more than 24 hours old when used, he reported, it causes diarrhea. Dr. Ramm suggested that beans picked from the garden be used immediately to make a decoction from the sliced pods without the beans. (The beans themselves have no value.) Boil two ounces of the pods slowly in four quarts of hot water for four hours. Then filter the liquid through a fine muslin and store in a cool place for eight hours. After eight hours, strain again with muslin—slowly and carefully (too many fibers in the fluid can cause intestinal upset). It is then ready.
*Note: Fresh Bean Pods will be nearly impossible to locate and are a seasonal crop. Dried Pods are the only logical answer to it’s use as a tea.
Dose: one glassful every two hours. Used thus, says Dr.' Ramm, the remedy is completely harmless, and can be used indefinitely with excellent results. It drains out pounds of excess fluid.
Reported Results:
Mrs. B.D. writes: I developed kidney trouble six weeks (ago). The doctor kept giving me antibiotics but my kidney trouble wouldn't clear up. I went to the third doctor and he told me to come back for tests and x-rays. He found a kidney stone and diabetes. My sugar count was 326. He said I must have an operation if the stone didn't move… When I got home... I started taking the bean pod tea. I drank a quart a day. Two weeks later when I went back to the doctor my stone was gone and my sugar count was 128. He said 'your well. I no longer had a stone nor diabetes. He was as surprised as I. At no time was I given any medication for diabetes.
Mr. D.S. writes: My wife has had kidney problems for years ... I (prepared a liquid from the plant) taking care to strain and re-strain the fluid, since any extra particles of suspended matter might play havoc with a weaker digestive system. After getting it stand eight hours), I told my wife to consume an eight-ounce glass every hour. She said the stuff tasted awful and made a lot of faces, but you know what? The concoction worked. Her urine appeared crystal clear after she drank the juice, and she has reported no kidney pain or problems in the kidney area since.
Mrs. T.D. writes: I had dropsy for several years and was taking dropsy pills for swelling and fluid.... Then I started cooking these red kidney bean pods, boiling them (and drinking the water).... I began the treatment according to directions. I did not have to wait long for results. Seems I passed large quantities of urine real often (and some gravel). I continued taking the bean water for about 2Vz weeks and within two weeks I had no sign of dropsy. The swelling had left my legs and ankles. The fluid above my stomach had also left.
Miss K.B. writes: My urethra had been swollen for years. I've been to Duke Hospital and my own hospital and another one. They cut and treated, but nothing helped. I planted the beans and drank tea made with them for three weeks, and Fve never had such results. It took out the swelling all over the body and it was equal to a good laxative... Several swollen friends are going to plant some... (They) are desperate and glad to hear about it.

I surprisingly found that I had stage III and in one month went to Stage II following what my kidney specialist advised. I followed very strictly. It isn't easy but then neither is dialysis. See a good Nephrologist. No more than 30 to 55 grams of protein a day, no extra salt, no dairy, low potassium no alcohol. Lots of fresh fruits and veggies. This is what I do. Your Dr. will tailor a program to your needs. It is time to get serious.

I put a small pinch in my water glass to remineralize it.

I continue to search for answer on a zillion links with no answers. I finally came across doctor who said most ckd people die from heart attacks. I searched for which supplements used in kidney. They were all related to heart disease. I deduced from that it was blood clots in kidneys.
Nattokinase/serrapeptase didn't work. I needed a more powerful clot buster so tried Lumbrokinase, which I luckily bought 3 months before. It finally started taking down the swelling within 3 days. I was happy.
What pissed me off the most was that you have a zillion websites on kidneys and NOT one ever suggested that PAIN IN KIDNEY could be a BLOOD CLOT.
Have you ever tried to sleep with swelled kidneys. You don't easily.
I am currently trying to remove calcium from my soft tissues in hope of improving or regenerating my kidneys.
I use one capsule of Nutrusta Omega 3 DHA to help with proteinura and body.
I use 1 tsp of baking soda before bed. I have PH strips which tell me what urine is. This is so I can tell if I need more or less. I try to keep it above 7.0 or with some color of green.
I do think if excretions to kidney are too acidic, it will destroy kidney. That's why I think it stops progression. It has less to do with blood.
I used 2 capsules of Lumbrokinase 3 times a day until swelling subsided then try to eye ball it after that which is usually 0-2 capules per day.
I did not go to doctors for any diagnosis. I have no idea what stage my kidneys are in but I can feel when their under stress.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda for Kidney Disease Oldphart (IN) on 11/19/2020
My wife is a diabetic, with hypertension and COPD and deteriorating kidney function to go along with it, as it usually does as time goes on. Though I don't remember where I read it, we discovered how to IMPROVE her kidney function, not just stabilize it. I'm pretty sure it was a European study because the 'ingredients', simple as they are, were in metrics and had to be converted. Her kidney function was down to 20% at that point.
I started giving her 1/8 tsp of baking soda with 1 tbls of acv, in a glass of water... doesn't matter how much water. In 4 months of taking this most days, she was up to 31%. That's as high as we have been able to get it, but at least it stopped falling and the prospect of needing dialysis is no longer an urgent concern.
Why the acid and alkalizer combine to work so well, I can't say, but they work well together, and have for some years.

Fresh raw purple cabbage (with fresh lemon juice and miso dressing) eliminated the discomfort the same day I ate it. About two cups of cabbage. It also increased urine output.

You can try to eat only buckwheat all day, 2-3 days per week with 0,5 l parsley or horsetail tea, and after this day you will notice that your kidney responsive to food and some supplements ... so don't use in this buckwheat days even all supplements, except vitamin D because maybe some of them irritate kidney.
Also essential vitamin D (if your situations worsen, try larger doses - 10000 vitamin D per day), NAC (2*600 mg per day) (for my kidneys it's a miracle), necessary to stengthen immunity (one month echinacea, other month astragalus, siberian ginseng etc.) Q10
I don't eat meat and dairy, so I don't know if my kidney liked them or not, but sometimes I eat fish and eggs and my kidney like them. Also my kidney like apples.
My kidney didn't liked Pau'd'arco. I tried it for immunity, but two times after taking one capsule 500 mg, my kidney were in pain. Also be very careful with species - turmeric OK, but black pepper NO. Cloves - OK, ginger - OK.
For my very useful site for supplements is http://www.lifeextension.com/Protocols/Kidney-Urinary/Kidney-Health/Page-08
In this site I learnt about NAC and tried it. For my kidney NAC was very very useful - like miracle cure. Thanks to God. I bought the cheapest NAC from iherb.
Magnesium for Kidney Disease and Kidney Stone Prevention Violet (Co) on 11/01/2017
Here's the important part of my little story. I found out that calcium is hard and it needs magnesium to soften it, so it can get to the right places in the body that it needs to be in. Calcium can stay in the soft tissues, like the joints, kidneys, arteries, etc. I started taking a liquid ionic form of magnesium. I was on it for 6 mos. and when I went to the nephrologist he said that the percent usage of my kidneys was 39. It went up 4%. I went to the nephrologist 6 mos after this and the percent use of my kidneys was now 44. It went up 5% this time. In that year and 3 mos, now. I have not passed any stones. I had not had to go to the hospital either.
Sorry so long, I just wanted to put it out for people with stones or kidney disease. I understand that when you get close to having 20% use of your kidneys, doctor want to get you on dialysis.

First, take Ashitaba powder/tea (Assitant root/leaves) at least 2 times per day on daily basis.
Second, take gold sea cucumber supplement on daily basis (Luxor brand is very good: Many cured of kidney disease/kidney failure).
Third, daily take beenzyme and papaya leaves containing papain (Optional: Can add on bromelain enzyme supplement) that break down protein in your body. Especially after every meal take beenzyme tablet to break down protein. Daily take papaya leaf supplement too.
U will be on your way to improve your health. Your doctor will say "You are a miracle" like my mum's kidney specialist said to/told her so.

I suggest for the tooth and jaw pain, a plant-based diet sticking with your kidney disease dietary restrictions. This has helped me tremendously.
