Prevention, treatment and control of kidney stones
Kidney stones mainly develop in our kidneys because there are too much disposable minerals in our urine compared to the volume of the (water) urine. These minerals have to be disposed from our body. They are metabolism by-products inside our cell tissues. They are carried out by blood stream into our kidneys and our kidneys filter them out of the blood with some water, urine. So when we urinate these minerals go out of the body. But if the volume of these minerals is too much, when compared with the volume of urine, the urine cannot carry all the minerals out. Some will be left in the kidney. This gradually grows to become what is known as kidney stone.
So what is the solution? It is easy, just drink a lot of water to insure the volume of water, urine, always higher than the volume of disposable minerals in your kidney. This should prevent kidney stones grow in your kidneys. On the basis of a simple common sense, drinking too much water should also dissolve any existing kidney stones.
My weight is 70.00kg and I every day drink over 3.00 litres of ionised warm water. I drink 0.80 litres immediately after I walk up in the morning, another 0.8 litres at around 10.00am, another 0.80litre around 4.00pm and the last 0.80litre around 9.00pm. This is in addition each day to about 3.0 cups of tea and the liquid in my food, which is made up mainly from fruit and vegetable. So in total each day I drink at least 4.00 litres of water and liquid.
The story of kidney stone growth is similar to the growth of blockages on my kitchen sink, before, which has not been blocked for almost four years. But why my kitchen sink has not blocked for the last four years? This is because for the last four years after washing up, I open kitchen sink water tap and let it run for about 10.00 minutes. Before the only water went through my kitchen sink was the amount of water used for washing up. But this water was not enough to carry all the dirt out of the kitchen sink system. Whatever dirt left gradually grew after each wash to become big enough to block the sink. But now it doesn’t happen because when I open the kitchen sink water tap to run for a while, the water carries out all the dirt left and cleans sink pipes. This happens for two reasons: 1- too much water passes through my kitchen sink system. This guarantees to carry out all the loose dirt, 2- the water moves faster. This helps to rub and dissolve any hardened dirt and get rid of it.
The same logic applies inside our kidneys. Drinking too much water makes our blood thinner, which make it easier and quicker for the blood to pass through our kidneys. This also makes filtration of blood by kidneys quicker. This creates a larger volume of urine/per time, which has also to leave the kidneys quicker. In this situation three factors help to prevent or remove kidney stones: 1- Larger volume of water, urine, passes kidneys per unit time. This should help to carry all disposable minerals without leaving any behind, 3- The water, urine, leaves our kidneys faster. This should help to rub and dissolve any minerals, kidney stone, left behind and stuck to the kidneys, 3- The volume of the water is a lot larger than the volume of disposable minerals. This should prevent disposable minerals to stick to kidneys and grow to become kidney stones.
If you have kidney stones please first consult your doctor before starting to drink more water than your usual. If you are healthy, don’t increase your water intake all in one go, do it gradually. Try to increase your water intake at least by three times more on three consequent weeks. The first week double your water intake, the second week increase it with the same amount and on the third week again increase it with a similar amount like the first and second weeks.
By the way, parsley helps the kidneys a lot. I always have fresh parsley at home. Sometimes I steam it but most of the times I eat it fresh. Usually when I make fruit smoothy I add fresh parsley to it.
Wish everyone healthy kidneys.
