seconds to allow some of the chunkier herbs to
better infuse into the water. However, to retain freshness, don't grind more than you will use in a few days;

How to
PREVENT calcium oxalate stones
Magnesium
and B6
will dissolve calcium oxalate kidney stones.
Due to a lack of
magnesium , this type of stone is produced when
calcium precipitates and fixes to oxalic acid in such as potatoes, spinach and
tomatoes; Studies have found that
magnesium and B6 help prevent recurrence of calcium oxalate kidney stones by
increasing the solubility of calcium in urine . Lack of
magnesium is also indirectly
responsible for
rampant tooth
decay, poor bone development, osteoporosis and slow healing of broken bones and
fractures.
Magnesium against Calcium oxalate kidney stones
Magnesium -
Missing Miracle Mineral
Transdermal Magnesium Chloride
Note:
Magnesium is not involved in the production of uric acid or phosphate stones
Eat less acid-forming protein and more alkaline-forming fruits and vegetables to lower
blood calcium level.
High-protein foods utilize calcium to
neutralize their acidic effect on body fluids, including the blood. A better choice
for calcium intake is low protein /high calcium /alkalizing foods
Do
not supplement more than 1 g/day of vitamin C. Excess
vitamin C in the body undergoes chemical
conversion into oxalate leading to a rise in the levels of oxalate in the urine.
Since accumulated oxalate gives rise to kidney stone formation, it is advised
that people with kidney stones not exceed 1 gram /day of supplemental vitamin C .
Avoid refined carbs, drinking pasteurized
milk and a sedentary lifestyle - which increase blood calcium levels

How to
PREVENT uric acid stones
Alkalinization of
the urine through diet can dissolve uric acid crystals /stones.
The best alkalizing diet
includes:

vegetables - (raw is best) and juices is ideal - Limit or eliminate all animal based food.
- A daily
"green" drink supplement.
- Refined sugars, junk foods, alcohol, soda,
coffee, milk, or teas except for kidney cleansing teas.
Avoid a high protein diet
Limit alcohol consumption
Do not consume more than 25g fructose/ day.

Foot relexology
Foot reflexology on the bottom of the feet has been used successfully to move
kidney stones. However, you must work the
area HARD -
i.e. make a fist and
use your knuckles to dig in deep to the area, or have someone
use their elbow.
To see exactly where to
"dig in":
