Per anatomy and physiology, the kidneys filter blood. What else does the book on anatomy and physiology say about the kidneys? There are a million nephrons in each kidney, the kidneys produce the hormone called erythropoietin and the enzymes called fructokinase and renin. Is this information enough to know all there is to know about our kidneys? No.
Since there is nothing a person can read in a textbook on anatomy and physiology to prevent cysts in the kidneys, chronic kidney disease, or complete renal failure, I will share some top-of-the-line facts about our kidneys so that people can be enlightened.
Cysts in the kidneys
PKD (polycystic kidney disease) refers to a situation where there are many cysts in the kidneys. Regardless of whether PKD is contemporary or hereditary, the causal factors are identical.
In contemporary PKD, the person has not been producing the lipotropic hormone, enzymes, pancreatic lipase, intestinal lipase, and alpha and beta globulins. It is the alpha and beta globulins that circulate fat molecules, it is the lipotropic hormone that splits fats and oils, and it is the enzymes that thoroughly digest fats and oils so that residues do not accumulate in pouches to produce cysts.
A person can eat the sources of saturated fat and oil, but they must produce the lipotropic hormone, and the above-mentioned enzymes to thoroughly digest what they are eating. If they don’t, they will increase their susceptibility to cysts in the kidney, liver, ovaries, etc.
In hereditary PKD, the person might have been born with an inability to thoroughly metabolize fat. This often happens when, during pregnancy, the mother consumed butter, eggs, and other sources of saturated fat that she could not thoroughly digest because she was not producing enough lipases.
Does this mean the child will also inherit his or her mother’s weakness? Not necessarily. Here is why.
We inherit only 10% of our mother’s genes and 10% of our father’s genes. The remaining 80% of the genes come from the ancestral gene pool. Therefore, if the child does not inherit his or her mother’s genes that cannot release the blueprint for lipase, they will inherit a gene that releases the blueprint for lipase, and this gene will come from the ancestral gene pool. For this reason, the child will not have PKD.
Therefore, to prevent PKD, or reverse it, two measures are recommended: 1) never stop producing pancreatic lipase, intestinal lipase, emulsification enzymes, and the lipotropic hormone, and 2) avoid avocadoes, eggs, nuts, olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil, butter, beef tallow, and lard. This is the recommendation people followed in addition to ionization to get rid of cysts including PKD.
If PKD runs in the family, it is because all the family members who have it have been making the same mistakes meaning, they have not been producing what they should have been producing, and they have not been avoiding what they should have been avoiding.
It is better to be properly educated on the diseases of the kidneys than to just walk blindly and ignorant on this planet. Cysts in the liver, ovaries, kidneys, etc. can be deflated and completely leveled.
Physicians have nothing on PKD other than empty theories, and if a person’s kidneys that are full of cysts continue to deteriorate, they will recommend dialysis. Dialysis is not a solution. It is a sentence to a life of misery. I will discuss dialysis in a moment, but first, CKD.
CKD (chronic kidney disease)
There are two ways to know whether the kidneys are struggling or not: 1) what is the GFR? 2) what is the creatinine level?
If the creatinine level is consistently above 2, and the GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is consistently below 30, it is an indication that the kidneys are struggling, and the filtration force is extremely weak.
Therefore, people who do not do urinalysis may never know how their kidneys are performing.
What weakens the filtration force?
Three factors weaken the filtration force: 1) cysts in the kidneys 2) stones and 3) collapsed capillaries.
I have already discussed PKD. Let me at this point turn my attention to stones.
Stones
People, especially vegetarians and vegans think all vegetables are safe to eat. They are making a big mistake. They are yet to know more about the invisible side of vegetables.
Chromatography reveals the presence of oxalates in Swiss chard, beets, spinach, bitter leaf, kotomire, kale, lettuce, collard greens, quinoa, eggplant aka aubergine or garden eggs, and amaranth. After digestion, oxalates will coalesce to produce stones (kidney stones and bladder stones).
Swiss chard is the worst of the greens because not only does it have oxalates, but its oxalates are also the growth factors of salmonella, E. coli, and listeria. Listeria monocytogenes also live in the refrigerator.
Stones are like cysts in the kidneys. They are so obstructive that they will jam the glomerulus, thereby weakening the filtration force and reducing the filtration rate. Then, they will make the renal tubules so porous that creatinine, salts, phosphates, water, potassium, etc. would leak in large amounts.
It is said that beets have nitric oxide and that nitric oxide enhances circulation. What has never been written about beets is that they also have oxalates. It turns out that it is oxalates that make the legs heavy, the arms heavy, and the whole body heavy, and sluggish.
Gravel
The oxalates that do not coalesce to produce stones will remain in the kidneys and bladder as gravel.
Gravel in the urethra may cause itching in the urethra, drop-by-drop urination, delayed urination, pain during urination, dribbling urine, split-stream urine, extremely foamy urine, and the inability to completely empty the bladder. Gonorrhea feeds on gravel in the urethra.
Gravel in the bladder may cause pain in the bladder or pubic area, the production of only a small amount of urine, wetting the underwear when sneezing, laughing, excited, or coughing, chronic UTI (urinary tract infection), ammonia-smelling urine, fish-smelling urine, frequent bedwetting, or the inability to hold urine for 30 seconds.
All these individuals who wear pull-ups or adult diapers have gravel in their bladders.
Gravel can fan out into the cornea to cause sand in the eyes, ulcers on the cornea, and dim vision or it can cause annoying black dots, gray dots, etc. in the vision. Therefore, diagnosing an eye symptom as keratitis, or iritis is not good enough. People are now interested in what causes keratitis, iritis, glaucoma, cataracts, floaters, etc.
Stone vegetables have been ruining people’s kidneys, eyes, and bladders for thousands of years.
Per the National Kidney Foundation, “Over 2 million people worldwide currently receive treatment with dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive, yet this number may only represent 10% of people who actually need treatment to live”. The number could be as high as 600 million worldwide. In Iran, the situation is so dire that it is not illegal to sell a kidney. This is how many poor individuals make a living.
Chronic constipation
Countless individuals are chronically constipated, and they do not know why. Gravel in the colons can make it impossible for elastin to cause peristalsis for bowel movement. Therefore, taking stool softeners, doing an enema, or purging, are just methods of convenience that do not remove the source of the problem, which is gravel.
People should know the difference between good greens and bad greens, and the difference between good vegetables and killer vegetables aka stone vegetables.
Lower back pain
Lower back pain does not require a trip to the massage parlor. It is a serious symptom that requires hydrolysis or ionization to remove gravel from the kidneys or the trunk.
Pregnant women who often complain of lower back pain and do not remove gravel from their kidneys will experience extremely severe lower back pain during childbirth. As a matter of fact, the pain would be so severe that even screaming and grinding the teeth will not bring any relief. Eaters of stone vegetables beware.
Stone vegetables are partly responsible for the high rate of Caesarean sections in the world. Also, they are partly responsible for so-called natural paralysis, and locomotor ataxia (loss of balance when walking).
Pain in the trunk area
A dull and nagging pain on the side between the underarm and hip indicates a massive accumulation of gravel in the left or right kidney. Eaters of stone vegetables beware. Hot water application to the area, bedrest, or massage will not help. If this continues, sciatica may occur and the pain could run all the way to the heel. Now, a word about catheterization.
Catheterization
Gravel in the bladder and in the urethra will completely shut down the process of urination, thereby compelling hospital staff to catheterize the person.
Catheterization would make the person susceptible to frequent infections, and septicemia or toxemia. Septicemia (blood poisoning) would weaken the heart and dirty the blood even more. It is spinach and other stone vegetables that cause susceptibility to catheterization.
Collapsed capillaries
Each capillary that is in the nephrons is as tiny as a hair strand, and there are dozens of them in one nephron. There are a million nephrons in one kidney. Since there are dozens of capillaries in each nephron, and there are a million nephrons in each kidney, how many capillaries are in each kidney? The answer is hundreds.
If a substantial number of the kidney’s capillaries are jammed, there will be four consequences: 1) the filtration pressure will be extremely low 2) the filtration force will be extremely weak 3) enough renin will not be produced, and 4) blood pressure will be either high or too low. This is how jammed nephrons tend to raise blood pressure or lower blood pressure considerably.
Therefore, hypertension or hypotension has nothing to do with cholesterol and plaque as we have been led to believe. Hypertension is a kidney problem. Plaque, as an obstructive factor, has a lot more to do with the cardiovascular system than with the kidneys.
If the capillaries have been jammed for years, they will collapse because the vascular nerve and the splanchnic nerve that sustain them collapsed, and they collapsed under the weight of gravel.
How is blood pressure regulated?
It is the proteolytic enzyme called renin from a pair of healthy kidneys that connects with angiotensin in the liver to properly regulate blood pressure. Can pharmaceutical drugs regulate blood pressure? No, they cannot. All they do is mimic the function of renin. By mimicking renin, they leave the vagus nerve and nephrons in tatters. This is how blood pressure-lowering drugs worsen a person’s kidneys.
My mother was on blood pressure pills for 30 years. Eventually, she died of congestive heart failure and renal failure without her blood pressure being ever lowered. I lost many family members not to hypertension, but rather to high blood pressure drugs.
These drugs are toxic, and physicians know it. Therefore, no one should tell me about pharmaceutical drugs lowering blood pressure. I know better.
Blockages
Blockages are the kidneys’ worst nightmare. Circulation in the nephrons should not be hindered in any way. Unfortunately, capillary circulation everywhere is often blocked by sludge, lithiasis, gout, casts, crusts, calculus, stones, gravel, blood clots, calcium deposits, debris, or tophus. This is terrible.
All it takes is for a few gout deposits or a few gravel from spinach or cast to jam five to ten capillaries in one nephron, and it is over. The kidneys will start to struggle.
Wax is another nightmare for the kidneys. Fruits and vegetables in supermarkets are often waxed to preserve freshness and gloss. The following are routinely waxed: apples, oranges, cantaloupe, eggplant, peaches, grapefruit, rutabagas, persimmons, squash, cucumbers, carrots, sweet potatoes, and all the tomato varieties.
Therefore, eating a lot of persimmons and raw tomatoes, carrots, peaches, and cucumbers over several years may cause chronic kidney disease or renal failure because of the wax. The base of chewing gum is made from paraffin wax. Also, certain cheeses are waxed.
People erroneously assume that because they stopped eating waxed fruits and vegetables, the wax in their bodies would disappear. No. This is not how wax is removed.
The chemical bonds of wax must be broken. Who will break them? Herbs, vitamins, and pharmaceutical drugs don’t break the bonds of wax. Do you know a Doctor of Symptometry who can break and liquefy wax for you? Now, is the time to talk dialysis.
Dialysis
I have nothing against the dialysis enterprise. They are employing technicians and physicians all over the world, they pay rent, taxes, overheads, etc. Therefore, they are a cog in the economic wheel.
My point is life is about making choices. The dialysis promoters are free to market their dialysis machines and prolong the lives of individuals who would have died of renal failure had dialysis not been available. This is excellent.
Symptometry is also in business providing a unique service. This service is the kind of science-based education that is not available anywhere, and we are licensed to do what we do.
Having said that, it makes perfect sense to allow people who prefer scientific truth to confusion to make the best of the scientific information they are getting from Symptometry. Then, those who do not want the scientific truth about dialysis should also be allowed to continue to do what they want. That is their choice.
People who are on dialysis did not intend to be on dialysis. They are on dialysis because they made costly dietary mistakes. Therefore, they should not be denied the total truth about dialysis.
More facts about dialysis
Once a person’s kidneys are treated with dialysis, they will never get off dialysis unless they have a kidney transplant.
Let people know that dialysis is not a disease that can be cured. It is an artificial device that is set up with tubes to draw blood and return blood to the person after the machine has used dialysate to filter it.
Quoted below is the written testimony that was emailed to me, and I had the person’s permission to publish it without mentioning her name.
“When on hemodialysis, I went to the hospital 3x per week for 3.5-4 hrs. per day. Due to the weight gain from the steroids, the nurses would ignore the weight gain and try to pull off excess fluid via the treatment. As a result, I would pass out during treatment and they would then add back the excess fluid withdrawn.
I got tired of that happening so I requested a change in modality to PD -Peritoneal dialysis.
For years I used 1.5% dialysate during the day and 7.5% at night. Earlier this year (2022) they insisted I use the 2.5%. I had a terrible cough for months.
The other reason I did not like hemo was the spike in energy levels. I would feel good on the day of treatment but the next day, I felt like crap, and then the treatment (feel good and then feel bad the next day) became an ongoing cycle.”
A closer examination of the dialysate
Dialysate solution commonly contains six (6) electrolytes: sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+),magnesium (Mg2+), chloride (Cl–), and bicarbonate. A seventh component, the nonelectrolyte glucose or dextrose, is invariably present in the dialysate.
There are 8 electrolytes, but there are only 6 electrolytes in a dialysate in addition to glucose or dextrose, salts, and pure water. Countless individuals do not respond favorably to dextrose even though it is a monosaccharide. Hence, their tendency to retain fluid, and look puffy. Then, a higher concentration of dialysate can cause spasms.
There are over 400 blood impurities including recombinants. What is in the dialysate solution that removes some of these blood impurities? There are many blood impurities that the dialysate would not touch because it cannot break their bonds.
This analysis of the dialysate clearly shows why the dialysate does not do what the kidneys do such as 1) produce renin to regulate blood pressure 2) produce erythropoietin to stimulate the red bone marrow to manufacture the different lines of white blood cells, platelets, and red blood cells 3) produce fructokinase to digest fructose and 4) produce enzymes to convert bilirubin to urobilin.
The truth is the dialysate solution in the dialysis machine was designed to provide token support to kidneys that are failing, and this will continue until a kidney donor is found.
Therefore, to assume that the kidneys will become strong on their own, and the person will no longer have dialysis, is like living in a fool’s paradise. This will never happen. The only way out of dialysis is a kidney transplant. Now, a word about kidney transplants.
Kidney transplants
What are a person’s chances of surviving a kidney transplant?
“For patients that receive a living donor kidney transplant, 99 out of 100 patients are alive after one year, and 86 out of 100 are alive after ten years. For patients that receive a deceased donor kidney transplant, 96 to 97 out of 100 patients are alive after one year and 72 to 76 out of 100 are alive after ten years.”
Source: Mayo Clinic
Here is what the Mayo Clinic is not sharing. Being alive after a kidney transplant should never be synonymous with being healthy. Those who do not have Symptometry after a kidney transplant will have a tough road ahead of them. I will elaborate.
They will have to deal with the side effects of the anti-rejection drugs, steroids, antibiotics, anti-virals, antifungals, etc. for a few years, and in truth, the side effects of these drugs are no joke. They include:
- Tenderness or pain over the kidney transplant.
- A general achy feeling.
- Swelling in the hands and feet.
- An elevated temperature.
- A rapid weight gain.
- An increase in blood pressure.
- An increase in blood creatinine.
- A decrease in urine output.
Also, the kidney recipient will become extremely anemic, will cough a lot, will not be able to sleep soundly, will feel cold and exhausted, and there will be fluid around their heart, in their lungs, legs, ankles, etc. Why? The answer is the renal tubules are leaking a lot of water, which is causing edema everywhere.
Even though the recipient now has better kidneys, his or her endocrine system, respiratory system, and other systems are taking their time to adjust to the transplanted kidneys because the DNA of the transplanted kidneys is not consistent with their DNA. Basically, there are two different DNAs in the person. These DNAs do not know each other, but they have to live with each other. The truth is it takes time to live harmoniously with another DNA from a different ancestry.
Having said that, the excellent news is people who received a kidney transplant years ago did not have Symptometry. Now, Symptometry is available to make transitory life more comfortable, livable, and pleasant for the kidney recipient.
Eventually, the recipient’s DNA will accept the donor’s DNA, and life will be good again.
