The Kidney Cleanse
Kidney Care and Function
Unlike the liver and the gut, the kidneys are often overlooked, and are rarely mentioned as needing support. Yet, they are continuously filtering our blood, participating, with the liver, in the safe detoxification and elimination of multitudes of biotoxins, maintaining water balance and blood pressure, ensuring that blood pH is kept tightly controlled, electrolytes are available where required and more generally that homoeostasis is maintained.
Kidney function is a good predictor of cardio-vascular health and is negatively affected by the typical western diet. Kidneys are particularly sensitive to sugar, especially high fructose corn syrup, and the preservatives used in processed foods, and also to excess protein.
Even if you are careful with your diet and lifestyle, the kidneys can sometimes show signs of difficulties and fatigue, and will always benefit from regular support.
Typically, symptoms that point towards kidney health and will benefit from a kidney cleanse are:
- Elevated uric acid
- Joint pain and gout
- Smelly urine, urgency or pain on urinating
- Kidney stones and kidney pain
- Hypertension
- Water retention
What is the Kidney Cleanse Programme?
The programme is a 21-day protocol designed to alkalise tissues, improve kidney output and improve lymphatic flow.
It combines:
- a strict dietary protocol
- daily skin brushing
- a daily herbal alkalising drink
- weekly colonics to support elimination and to enhance the effects of the protocol
