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.
