My husband has been having these symptoms-- I think it's his kidneys... help!?

Question

Since this morning, he has been having flu-like symptoms... chills, dizziness, fever, aches all over... but he has one kidney smaller than the other due to a childhood kidney infection. He called me crying a minute ago with pain in his side after he peed.... I can't leave for another 20 minutes... please tell me what you think it is!

Answer 1

Have you already gone through the full kidney and colon cleansing processes?

Kidney cleanse is any procedure that involves drinking a huge amount of liquid, and taking care what you are eating. Just a better diet with more water can be enough! But, also any form of bowel cleansing will also help kidneys! The Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet is also a Kidney cleanse, juice fasting is also a kidney cleanse, and any other form of fasting that incorporates a lot of liquids, will in the same time clean a kidney. Do you need special herbs? Only if you have acute lower back pain, clear symptom of Kidney stones (sharp glass like crystals, made of phosphoric acid, or sometimes may include other acids). In special occasions, you can get a kidney stone crystallized in less then a few days !!! To melt a stone/stones, you may need a few weeks, or one day with the Watermelon Cleanse.

Herbal Kidney Cleanse Designed by Dr. Hulda Clark from her book "The Cure for All Disease", explains in detail how to cleanse the kidneys, and her cleansing program will get rid of most if not all the stones, WITHOUT surgery.
Ingredients:

1/2 cup dried Hydrangea root
1/2 cup Gravel root
1/2 cup Marshmallow root
4 bunches of fresh parsley
Goldenrod tincture (leave this out of the recipe if you are allergic to it)
Ginger Capsules
Uva Ursi capsules
Vegetable glycerine
Vitamin B6 250mg
Magnesium oxide 300mg or 1/4 cup Green Drink Beverage

Measure ¼ cup of each root and set them to soak, Together in 10 cups of cold tap water, using a non-metal container and a non-metal lid (a dinner plate will do). After four hours (or over night), bring liquid with soaked herbs to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Drink a ¼ cup as soon as it is cool enough. Pour the rest in through a bamboo or plastic strainer into a sterile pint jar (glass) and several freezable containers. Refrigerate the glass jar.
Find fresh parsley at a grocery store that does not spray its produce (ask the owner). Boil the fresh parsley, after rinsing, in 1 quart of water for 3 minutes. Strain out the liquid, then drink ¼ cup when cool enough. Refrigerate a pint and freeze 1 pint. Put the cooked parsley in your compost bucket.
Dose: each morning, pour together ¾ cup of the root mixture and ½ cup parsley water, filling a large mug. Add 20 drops of goldenrod tincture and 1 tbs. of glycerin.

Drink this mixture in divided doses throughout the day. Keep cold. Do not drink it all at once or you will get a stomach ache and feel pressure in the bladder. If your stomach is very sensitive, start on half this dose.

Save the roots after the first boiling, storing them in the freezer. After 13 days when your supply runs low, boil the same roots a second time, but add only 6 cups water and simmer only 10 minutes. This will last another 8 days, for a total of three weeks. You may cook the roots a third time if you wish, but the recipe gets less potent. If your problem is severe, only cook them twice.
After three weeks, repeat with fresh herbs. You need to do the kidney cleanse for six weeks to get good results, longer for severe problems.

Also take:

Ginger capsules: one with each meal (3/day).
Uva Ursi capsules: one with breakfast and two with supper
Vitamin B6 (250mg): one per day
Magnesium oxide (300mg): one a day

Take these supplements just before your meal to avoid burping.

Some notes on this recipe: this herbal tea, as well as the parsley, can easily spoil. Heat it to boiling every fourth day if it is being stored in the refrigerator; this resterilizes it. If you sterilize it in the morning you may take it to work without refrigerating it (use a glass container).

There are probably dozens of herbs that can dissolve kidney crystals and stones. If you can only find several of those in the recipe, make the recipe anyway; it will just take longer to get results. Remember that vitamin B6 and magnesium taken daily can prevent oxalate stones from forming. But only if you stop drinking regular tea and cocoa. Tea has 15.6 mg oxalate acid per cup. A tall glass of iced tea could give you over 20 mg oxalate acid. Switch to herb teas. Cocoa and chocolate, also, have too much oxalate acid to be used as beverages.

Remember too that phosphate crystals are made when you eat too much phosphate. Phosphate levels are high in meats, breads, cereals, pastas, and carbonated drinks, eat less of these, and increase your milk (2%), fruits and vegetables. Drink at least 2 pints of water per day.

You can dissolve all your kidney stones in 3 weeks, but make new ones in 3 days if you are drinking tea and cocoa and phosphate beverages.
Cleanse your kidneys at least twice a year.

Answer 4

He needs to get to emergency ASAP! I'm not a doctor but it sounds like a kidney infection to me. I had a kidney infection a few years back with these same symptoms. The first thing I was given was orange juice which stopped my shaking (so bad I couldn't walk on my own). Have him drink a glass of orange juice. It is loaded with potassium. The potassium will help stop any shaking/chills and aches within a few minutes. Kidney infections progress very rapidly. I was bad enough to where I had to be in ICU for several days because of the uncontrollable fever....got to 106.9. Once he has recovered from the infection make sure he starts taking Cran-Max 1000Mg. You can find it at Kroger in the vitamin department. It will help prevent any future problems with kidney infections.

nmtgirl...a kidney infection that is not tended to quickly can be life threatening. I should know since I've been through it myself.

Answer 6

Which side? Upper or lower. He may have kidney stones or an inflammation of the kidneys caused by infection. Depending on where the pain is, it could also be hepatitis or appendicitis. It's impossible to tell without lab work, a physical exam, and an abdominal CT or ultrasound. I suggest you go to the emergency department.

Answer 7

If it was just his kidneys, he would not be having flu-like symptoms. I've had plenty of kidney stones and you don't have symptoms like that, just tons of pain. It sounds like his appendix. My aunt had those same symptoms a few months ago and we took her to the emergency room for the pain and it turned out that she needed her appendix removed. So, I suggest you hurry and get him to the doctor because if you wait it can rupture.

Answer 8

It could be a kidney infection. He does not necessairly need to see a doctor right away. As a society we are too dependent on antibiotics and can actually do more harm than good by rushing to the doctor every time we have the sniffles. Bacteria morph and change and adapt so that antibiotics are no longer effective. He needs to let his own immune system try to handle it first.Tell him to drink plenty of fluids and take over the counter meds to treat his symptoms as best he can. If this persists for more than 5 days, then there is a problem and he needs to see a doctor.

Answer 9

Sounds like a kidney infection and a BAD one. My husband had one like that once, same symptoms and everything, and he was in the hospital for a week. Take him to the emergency room asap. Good luck.

Answer 10

sounds like it could be either a urinary tract infection along with a kidney infection. He will need to be tested with a urine test and most likely be given antiobiotics. I'm sure he'll be fine. Good luck

Answer 11

probably a urinary tract or kidney infection. If he is crying due to pain i would go to the emergency room. This happened to me once when a urinary tract infection spread to my kidneys. IF he can get into the primary care doc asap i would suggest that. If its too late, go to the er. It will be a wait but it's important
