Food for Kidney Regeneration
Nutritional and dietary factors are always involved when our kidneys show symptoms of degeneration, imbalance or dis-ease. These simple nutritional changes are some of the most important ones you can make to support regeneration of your kidneys, as well as all your organs, tissues, and body systems.

Kidney degeneration is the underlying condition behind many symptoms connected with a wide variety of chronic conditions and illness. Diabetes, arthritis, low blood sugar, and chronic fatigue all point to kidney degeneration. Symptoms of edema, lymph congestion and stagnation, anxiety attacks, excess body weight, emotional mood swings, chronic insecurity or fear, cellulite skin condition, and PMS are more indicators of kidney imbalance or depletion.

KIDNEY REGENERATING NUTRIENTS
There are four major points of change that are essential dietary aspects for regenerating from kidney depletion. They are:
1-SALT. Salt is an essential part of a healthy diet, and very important for the kidneys. Today our refined table salt is full of aluminum and other chemicals. It has often been treated with heat during the refining process, which damages the salt crystals and changes the way salt acts in our bodies.

Replace all refined table salt with unrefined salts. Celtic sea salt (gray in color), black salt, unrefined rock salt (various colors), Hawaiian alaea salt (pink in color), and Himalayan crystal salt all offer much healthier alternatives. The best and most unrefined salts can not be placed in a salt shaker. Free of anti-caking agents and chemicals, they consistently absorb moisture from the air and form a crust. Instead, place them in a small bowl with a little spoon for applying them to foods after cooking.

Salt should not be cooked, but added after cooking as a garnish. As you make the switch from refined salt to nature’s whole salts, you will notice that different types of salt have different flavors, based on the minerals that they contain. Salt cravings that are caused by refined salt consumption will disappear.

1-JUICES. Drinking one to several cups of fresh vegetable juice daily is an excellent remedy for kidney depletion. You can do this even if you do not own a juicer-even a blender will do.
2-SOUP. Soups are one of the most regenerating foods for kidney depletion.
3-SUGAR. Eliminating refined sugar and diet sweeteners from your diet is one of the keys to kidney regeneration. Refined sugar consumption leads to many other symptoms, and is very hard on the kidneys. The sweet flavor, very important for maintaining wholeness, should be taken at every meal, in a small amount. Replace all other sweeteners with stevia extract-an herbal remedy actually used in diabetes recovery-maple syrup and dehydrated maple syrup, agave nectar, or unrefined cane juice powder. Xylitol-a natural sugar extracted from from corn, and produced in fruits-is also beneficial when used in moderation.

SOUP
Soups are the kidneys’ friends! Vegetable soups are a powerful regenerative force for kidney and urinary system. Use fresh vegetables in broth for the most regenerative soup. Small amounts of meats, fishes, and poultry are also good, especially organ meats such as kidney and liver. Make a big pot of soup and reheat it for one meal every day. Use seaweeds, celery, beets, carrots, turnips, rutabagas, sweet potatoes, squashes, red or white potatoes, yucca, cilantro and Italian parsley. Use red onion, garlic, and peppers less often.

JUICES
Juices are nature’s divine high frequency medicine for regenerating the human body. For kidney regeneration, drink 1/2 cup of fresh vegetable juice three times every day. Some of the best choices include parsley, celery, beet, carrot, cabbage, watercress, grapefruit, and watermelon.

If you have a juicer, make a quart of juice once a day and store it in the refrigerator to drink small amounts throughout the day. Be sure to dilute with fresh spring water or purified water, since straight vegetable juices are too strong for most people.

If you have a blender, you can use it to make a juice. Cut your vegetables into small chunks and put them into the blender with water. Blend on high until the mixture looks even and has no chunks. Then strain the pulp and drink this juice straight-it has already been diluted.

BALANCING YOUR DIET FOR OPTIMUM NUTRITION
The following guidelines will help you return to a natural way of eating that can restore health and regenerate your body. Every food you put into your body becomes the raw materials for cells and blood. You become what you eat. This makes it so important to put vibrant, whole foods filled with life force into our bodies!

Eat lots of these foods:
Fresh vegetables, including greens; spinach, lettuce, chard, escarole, endive, cilantro, parsley, astragalus, kale, cabbage; root vegetables; potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, yams, squashes, beets, turnips, parsnips, yucca, jicama; and vegetables like eggplant, asparagus, peppers, onions, corn, peas, green beans, broccoli, zucchini, brussel sprouts, alfalfa and bean sprouts, beans, etc. AVOID canned vegetables! They have very little life force compared to frozen and fresh ones.

Whole grains like bulgur, quinoa, millet, rice (if you like only white rice, try blending it with brown, Thai red, or black rice), oats, rye, barley, buckwheat, spelt, kamut, amaranth, etc. AVOID refined white flour and pure white rice. Limit wheat products, pastas, breads (even whole grain), refined baked goods such as cookies, pastries, and granola bars.

Lots of raw seeds-put them on top of salads, vegetables, in burritos, casseroles, meatloaf, anything after it has been cooked, so you keep the whole nutrients available. Sesame, hemp, plantain, flax, fennel, cumin, anise, poppy, sunflower, etc. Nuts are great too-but soak them over night before eating. They will be much easier on your system to digest-and taste better too. AVOID nuts and seeds that have been roasted, heated, or salted.

Fresh fruits, including melons, apples, pears, peaches, grapes, plums, all kinds of berries, star fruit, lemons, oranges, grapefruits, pineapple, limes, pomegranates, bananas, nectarines, etc. Dried fruits are great-only if you soak them over night before eating! Soak all your raisins, dried apricots, dried cherries, etc. for better digestion and hydration.
AVOID canned fruits!

Protein foods such as tofu, fish, poultry, sesame butter, shiitake mushrooms, eggs.

Soup! Nature’s best regenerator is soup that contains fresh vegetables. AVOID canned soup-it is devoid of the life force you will find in home cooked soups. (There are some ready-made soups available in cartons that are fairly vibrant).

Eat moderate amounts of these foods:
High protein foods, chicken, poultry, lamb, beef, shell fish, pork. Some of these foods are necessary for most people moving from a modern diet to a natural way of eating.

When you eat these foods, eliminate the refined carbohydrates that they are often served with: Eat the hamburger without the bun, eat the roast beef without the roll, salad, and potato. Your body will handle the digestion process much better if you do not combine other foods with meat.

Better digestion means less toxic by-product and no fermentation in the intestinal tract. Then your skin, lungs, liver, kidneys, and colon do not have to work so hard to neutralize and eliminate these toxins.

Limit or eliminate entirely these foods:
*Carbonated soft drinks-especially DIET! Replace with juices, teas, nutmilk.
*All diet sweeteners-replace with maple sugar or maple syrup, stevia extract, honey, or xylitol.
*Milk-replace with nutmilk. If you have access to real goat’s milk or cow’s milk that is unhomogenized, you can consume it in moderate quantities. It is the pasteurization and especially the homogenization process that creates a challenge with milk.
*Coffee. This completely upsets the acid balance and burns out the adrenals and nervous system, especially if you use it every day. It is very hard on the liver as well, which must neutralize the toxic by-products of caffeine in our system.
*White sugar and refined flour products.
*Alcohol. Alcohol is taxing for kidneys, liver, and spleen energies. Those with severe or chronic organ degeneration will not feel healthy and vibrant until they eliminate it entirely.
*Non-essential fats. Lard, animal fats, butter, cream, margarine, refined oils, salad oils; and products containing these oils, such as salad dressings, chips, deep fried foods, pastries and baked goods, any items containing hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats or oils that are not cold-pressed.

FOOD AND THE ASCENSION PROCESS
It is important to realize that somewhere through the personal process of regeneration, one reaches a state of balance and clarity from which the vibrational and energetic qualities of all foods become obvious. At this point one is no longer drawn toward foods that are unhealthy for the body. They simply don’t taste or feel good. At this point, body, mind, and spirit are in such alignment that one automatically desires the food that will best sustain and enhance the whole being.

There are many possible stages along the way to reaching this point of consciousness. Most people in our culture today are consuming denatured foods with lower life force and some degree of chaotic vibration. One can be eating all the “right foods”, yet if we are unable to discern the vibrational quality of the foods, we may still not be getting the regenerative effects that we desire. For this reason, I encourage people to develop muscle testing (kinesiology), dowsing, or other intuitive and sensory oriented ways of discerning the life force and vibration of foods. The testing will often give surprising and unexpected results.

It is important to follow your heart on which changes to incorporate and when. One must satisfy the need of the body from a nutritional standpoint. Eliminating many favorite foods without allowing sufficient time for adjustment creates an emotional void that can sabotage our efforts toward change. I suggest that changes be incorporated a little at a time. Gradually start replacing denatured foods with organic whole foods. Eliminate one or two at a time and let your body adjust to the new program before attempting the next change.
