How much water do I have to drink to cleanse my kidneys? How do I know that I am finished with cleansing?

Answer 1

You should drink at least 8 glasses of water (64oz) daily. your kidneys are clean when your pee is not yellow and it's clear!!!

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

There are a lot of urban myths about detox. The first is that you need large quantities of water to 'flush out toxins' from the kidneys. The body is well regulated and you should drink to keep the equilibrium, but drinking two litres of water just makes you visit the loo all day and has no more benefit than having 4 or five drinks the entire day. The second myth is that it must be water. If you have a cup of tea, this is fine - if not better than pure water. The answer lies in drinking normally so that your urine is not dark - it should be pale straw colour. Drink too much and it goes colourless, i.e: you are simply passing all the pure water back out again and probably overloads the kidneys rather than allowing them to function normally.

Answer 4

The fact is you cannot cleanse your kidneys. If you drink 2 to 3 liters of water or anything per day that is just fine. If you drink lots of water you will simply produce a dilute urine. The yellow color is due to your body breaking down old worn red blood cells.

Answer 5

You never are. Most every thing we eat has some form of contamination. Fertilizers, pesticides. Or in the case of recent contamination at Taco Bell the scallions and the contaminated spinach. Of course growth hormones in meats.

Up your water intake every day. Add lemon to it, lemon is good for helping keep your sugar levels even.

We drink about 6 t0 8 16 ounce bottles of water daily. Now I have a hard time not drinking it. We don't drink sodas and rarely alcohol or coffee or tea.

Your kidneys and liver will be great. You will Peep a LOT.

Answer 10

Hi Maha

Here are some ideas to heal the condition.

Cause
Kidney stones are more common during the summer, possibly due to concentrated urine caused by increased sweating and insufficient fluid intake. In general, mild chronic dehydration can play a role in the development of kidney stones. Chronic stress can also play a role. In addition, kidney stones may be due to genetics. If one parent had kidney stones, there is an increased risk in his or her children. Cadmium poisoning may also play a role and needs to be considered if other treatment methods fail.

Kidney stones that are high in calcium may be a signal of hyperparathyroidism (excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone). In serious cases of kidney stones an ultrasound that fractionalizes and breaks down the stones may be advised.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Hyssop and juniper essential oils can be helpful.

Ayurveda: Cumin, coriander, and fennel tea. Drink one cup three times a day.

Diet: Diet alone cannot get rid of the stones. Higher-than-normal levels of oxalate related to a diet high in oxalic containing foods, such as rhubarb, spinach, leafy vegetables, and coffee, can promote kidney stone formation. High levels of dietary refined carbohydrates can also cause kidney stones. Sugar stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, causing increased calcium excretion through the urine. Other dietary factors that cause increased calcium excretion in the urine and promote stone formation are increased intakes of coffee, colas, acid-forming diets (such as high protein and grains), insufficient water intake, and excessive salt consumption. Soft drinks containing phosphoric acid can also encourage the formation of kidney stones and should be completely eliminated.

The most important dietary actions are to increase your intake of pure filtered water, fiber, and green vegetables, and reduce refined sugar consumption. Foods that are helpful in decreasing kidney stone formation include cranberries, black cherries, rice bran, kombucha tea. In addition to avoiding sugar, also avoid or reduce your intake of salt, dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, refined carbohydrates, nuts, chocolate, pepper, and animal proteins.

Herbs: Combine the tinctures of gravel root, cornsilk, wild yam, and blackhaw in equal parts and take one teaspoon of this mixture three times a day. Or drink one cup of an infusion of nettle three times a day. Other useful herbs include uva ursi, horsetail, and dandelion root.

Homeopathy: Berberis, and Sarsaparilla are both useful homeopathic remedies.

Juice Therapy: The following juices can help stimulate the overall health of the urinary tract and potentially flush out the stones: lemon juice; carrot, beet, and cucumber juice with a dash of garlic and/or horseradish; and/or cranberry and watermelon juice.

Nutritional Supplementation: Helpful nutrients include: magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin C (keep your total daily intake below 6 grams to avoid increasing oxalate formation), vitamin A, proteolytic enzymes (away from meals), raw kidney glandulars, fat-soluble chlorophyll, lipoic acid, and the amino acids glutamic acid, lysine, and methionine.

Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating kidney stones: Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Detoxification Therapy, Reflexology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ultrasound

Best of health to you
