A CLOSER MOVE TO KIDNEY REPAIR AND REGENERATION BY THE HARVARD UNIVERSITY

Many Chronic Kidney Disease and Dialysis patients are eager to see progress from groundbreaking research which could offer them the opportunity to repair, regenerate or  potentially create a functioning new kidney in order to eliminate the need for Dialysis Treatments. While great progress continues to be reported, researchers at Harvard Univeristy have suggested that they figured out how to move Kidney Repair and Rejuvenation to the next level. To be more specific, the team from Harvard’s School Of Engineering And Applied Sciences is now printing functional Kidney Proximal Tubules. These kidney filters could be implanted into a chronic kidney disease patient. We are all eager to see this dream come through! http://bit.my/29LPXKg

 A 3-YEAR OLD CHILD FEELS HE REMEMBERS WHO KILLED HIM IN PAST LIFE AND TAKES POLICE TO BODY

A German therapist Trutz Hardo has shared an interesting case studies of children from around the world who remember details of their past lives. One child in the Golan Heights, a region near the border of Syria and Israel, has a tale that will shock you.

A three-year-old child from Druze ethnic group, a group of people for whom reincarnation is a core belief, told his elders that he knew what had happened to him in his past life: He was murdered. The boy, whose story was documented by Dr. Eli Lasch and then told to Hardo, was born with a long, red birthmark on his head. For the Druse birthmarks like these are an indication of death wounds, says Hardo, and children born with them are paid close attention to for anything they may remember of their past lives.

THE NUMBER OF PREGNANT WOMEN WITH ZIKA VIRUS IN U.S. INCREASED

Under the new counting method, a total of 279 infected women are being followed in the United States and its territories, according to two registries that have been created by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Only the cases of pregnant women who had Zika-related symptoms or pregnancy complications were being followed before now, said the CDC officials. These numbers represent all the pregnant women in the United States and territories who have any laboratory evidence of Zika virus infection, irrespective of whether they had symptoms.

How Chronic Kidney Disease And Dialysis Patients Can Fight Phosphorus 

 Fresenius Medical Care Inc. (Largest Dialysis Organization in the U.S.) calls the mineral a "Silent Disease," that "can kill!" Hence, managing phosphorus is crucial to a Dialysis patient's health outcomes. While Dialysis Treatments remove some phosphorus from the body, it cannot replace the kidneys and patients are at constant risk of high phosphorus (Hyperphosphatemia). This can lead to itching, brittle bones, painful sores which may not heal, Calcification (stiff or less flexible veins and arteries), heart attack, stroke, hospitalizations, and even death. However, with a few special tips, Chronic Kidney Disease and Dialysis patients can limit their phosphorus to safe levels, reduce negative side effects, and still greatly enjoy the foods they eat.


If it were easy to limit phosphorus, then every Dialysis patient would do so. The fact is, however, that it is very hard to limit phosphorus levels. High-protein foods, such as meats, dried beans, and peas tend to be high in phosphorus. "Double-jeopardy" foods (high in both potassium and phosphorus) include dairy products, nuts, seeds, chocolate, and whole-grain foods. 
Let's be clear, the goal is not to have your phosphorus levels at zero. Phosphorus is the most abundant mineral in the body after calcium. The two important nutrients work closely together to build strong bones and teeth (accounts for approximately 85% of phosphorus in the body) as well as assist with creating healthy cells and tissues throughout the body. Aim for phosphorus levels between 3.0 to 5.5 mg/dL. Your monthly blood tests will tell you if you are succeeding at achieving this goal. 

The best way for Chronic Kidney Disease and Dialysis patients to lower their risks of Hyperphosphatemia is to adopt a few basic dietary and lifestyle changes as follows:

1. Use substitutes. It is unreasonable to have Chronic Kidney Disease and Dialysis patients eliminate high phosphorus foods out of their diets without providing other options. A good way to limit high phosphorus items is to use alternative choices. For instance, substitute unenriched rice milk for regular milk and yogurt. A small amount of Brie or Swiss cheese is better than processed cheeses and cheese spreads. Similarly, English muffins are lower in phosphorus than pancakes and waffles. Popcorn and pretzels are better snacks than nuts and seeds. If you have a sweet tooth, then drop the chocolate for jelly beans, hard candy, fruit snacks or gumdrops. 

2. Swapping out your favorite main dish. Try to reduce your intake of higher-phosphorous meats, such as salmon, halibut, organ meats, sardines and pollock, by using beef, pork, lamb, poultry and other fish instead.

3. Where's the phosphorus? Manufacturers may add phosphorus when processing foods to thicken them, improve taste, prevent discoloration or preserve them. Thus, look for any ingredients on labels that contains the term "phos." This includes: Calcium phosphate, Disodium phosphate, Phosphoric acid, Monopotassium phosphate, Sodium acid pyrophosphate, and Sodium tripolyphosphate.

4. Monitor your phosphorus intake. The Mayo Clinic said, "For adults with kidney disease, generally 800 to 1,000 milligrams (mg) of phosphorus a day is the limit." To give you some idea, One slice of whole wheat bread has 57 mg of phosphorous, while enriched white bread has only 25 mg. Try to monitor how much phosphorus you are taking in throughout your day.

5. Not all antacids are good binders. Some calcium-based antacids may be used safely by Dialysis patients to bind extra phosphorus. Still, some may contain aluminum or magnesium. These can build up to toxic levels in Dialysis patients. "Always read labels and ask your doctor, pharmacist, or dietitian before taking any over-the-counter products," said Ultracare-dialysis.com.

6. Switch more than just the colas. Most Chronic Kidney Disease and Dialysis patients know that they should try to avoid colas and pepper-type sodas. Yet, patients should also drop some flavored waters, bottled teas, and some drink mixes with "phos" in the ingredients. Chronic Kidney Disease have a large array of other sodas that they can enjoy such as lemon-lime soda, ginger ale, root beer, plain water or some drink mixes that do not contain "phos" in the ingredients.

BENEFITS OF BAKING POWDER ( SODIUM BICARBONATE)

Baking soda has numerous uses, from home-cleaning and cosmetics to treating a number of health conditions.

Baking soda, or also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a crystalline chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. It is usually found as a fine powder with salty and alkaline taste. Baking soda has been used in ancient Egypt as paint to write the hieroglyphs. The first factory for producing baking soda was opened back in 1846 by the two New York bakers John Dwight and Austin Church.

Uses:

When combined with some water, baking soda acts as an antacid.

Paste made of baking soda and water can be used for treating allergic reactions from poison ivy or sumac.

It can be very effective in removing splinters.

It has numerous other health benefits. The pancreas also produces bicarbonate. Baking soda protects your kidneys.

How to Repair Your Kidneys Naturally Using Baking Soda

People who have kidney disorders have low bicarbonate levels, a condition known as metabolic acidosis.

“Switching a sodium bicarbonate solution for saline infusion prior to administration of radiocontrast material seems to decrease the incidence of nephropathy,” explains Dr. Thomas P. Kennedy.

Professor Magdi Yaqob stated:

‘It is wonderful.’

‘This is the first randomized controlled research of its type.’

‘This simple remedy can be very effective if used properly.’

There were 134 participants who suffered from advanced kidney disease. A randomly selected group was given a tablet containing sodium bicarbonate on daily basis for a period of one year. The kidney function in these subjects was gradually decreasing, just as in normal aging process. This group experienced 2/3 slower decay of wellbeing than the other group that wasn’t treated in this way.

Therefore, baking soda can be very beneficial in treating kidney disease. However, the dose must be controlled and monitored, says professor Magdi.

‘This inexpensive and simple method also enhances patients’ nutritional well-fare and is capable of improving the quality of life and the clinical results that can exclude the requirement of dialysis.’ Source: justnaturallife.com

Cashews are a Natural Anti-Depressant

Two handfuls of cashews have the same therapeutic effects as a prescribed dose of Prozac. They contain an essential amino acid known as L-tryptophan which is broken down has anxiety-reducing, snooze-inducing niacin. Furthermore, tryptophan is made into serotonin, which is one of the body`s most important neurotransmitters. Serotonin has the ability to calm your body and improve your mood significantly. These effects are almost the same as the effects that Prozac, Paxil and other antidepressants have. The chemical antidepressants mimic serotonin or artificially keep the body`s own serotonin levels high. Therefore, you should consume lots of beans, nuts, peas, wheat germ and cheese.
