Greetings Dear Readers,

If you have kidney stones or are worried about possibly having them, here is a self-care tip:

Asparagus.

Go down to your local market and pick yourself up 2 or 3 bunches.

Eat one cup of asparagus (steamed or juiced) each day for 3 or 4 days.  You’ll know this is working when you see the appearance of a white sand in your urine or cloudy urine .  This is the dissolved kidney stone material leaving your body.

Asparagus dissolves the oxalic acid crystals as well as the calcium stones caused by too much calcium supplementation either in pill form or from drinking calcium-fortified soy or almond milk, etc.  Read the labels. The body only needs a set amount of calcium at one time and will deposit excess calcium in various places in the body such as the arteries (arterial plaque) , bone spurs, and the kidneys (stones).  The body will also deposit  calcium into these tissues because it lacks various co-factors such as vitamin D which assists in the absorption of calcium into the bones, vitamin K2 and magnesium, which is extremely deficient in modern diets owing to poor soil quality.

Yours in health,

Cynthia
