Kidney ProblemsThe problem with the kidneys is that they are very resilient organs, capable of regeneration - in other words they can grow new tissue and reverse limited damage. On the down side, problems are extremely difficult to determine, as symptoms will tend not to show until such times as less than a third of the kidney is functioning. Dr Martin Goldstein argues that the principle cause of kidney problems are vaccinations and the use of synthetic cortisone. There is also some evidence that excess protein may be contributing to the problem. Excessive protein results in nitrogen wastes which in turn convert to ammonia which is very toxic. The use of chemicals in food may be another significant player in the degradation of the kidneys such as chemical colorings, flavorings and preservatives. Signs of kidney failure are well documented but it is worthwhile restating some of them here – increased thirst and urination are the classic symptoms. The kidneys fail to reabsorb water back into the blood as they’re eliminating waste thus the water is urinated and dehydration results.
