Dealing with Frequent Urination and Prostate Issues

Dealing with frequent urination and prostate issues

Hi, this is a question from a person in Ireland who wishes help his / her friend who is seventy-four years old, he is suffering from diabetes, is on medication and he has constant back pain, difficulties with bending, quite frequent urination that also prevents him from longer trips. He likes travelling but he is restricted in doing so. He has a diet that is typical for an average person – very, very high in dairy products, yogurt, milk, red meat, potatoes – typical diet of an Irish farmer and he may not be able to or have the energy or the enthusiasm to make changes to his diet.

Unfortunately that is going to be very difficult because diet has a lot to do with how the kidneys and the prostate work, for example, we know that a diet high in dairy products is responsible for many prostate issues and to help elevate the situation, I strongly recommend to desist eating any dairy products except unsalted butter to small amounts, because the dairy proteins, and particularly the lactose in the protein, can lead to major constrictive occurrences in the prostate and also in the kidneys.

Much of the lower back pain is actually caused by crystals, stones leaving the kidneys and passing through the ureters and particularly in the area where the ureters converge and combine, that is where the lower back pain occurs, and the reason for that is these crystals have very, very sharp edges to them and they are like… very, very sharp surfaces that cut into the ureter lining just like knives or razor blades would cut into it and that can cause an enormous amount of pain, dull pain and sharp pain which restricts the moving ability of that part of the body so bending would definitely become an issue.

But also, these crystals enter the bladder, the urinary bladder, and because of the urinary difficulties there will be retention of urine which will start backwashing into the prostate gland and the prostrate will accumulate those crystals and embed them in the tissues which can cause an enlargement of the prostate and lead to further urinary, frequent urination problems. So, I would suggest that that if he really is serious about improving his quality of life, that he does make changes to his lifelong dietary habits and perhaps make some lifestyle changes which I have discussed in my book “TIMELESS SECRETS OF HEALTH AND REJUVENATION

The bottom line is how much does he love and accept himself, how much does he value himself and his health, over some dietary habits that he may have become so used to, that it may be difficult to give up, but it will be in his best interest to at least give himself the opportunity to improve the condition, because it is not fun to be so limited in your lifestyle that it will actually deprive the person of even more of joy than having the pleasure of eating some of the things, some yogurt or cheese or red meat which otherwise can create many, many problems to the kidneys, to the digestive system, to the rest of the body.

Diabetes, by the way, can easily be caused by eating animal proteins and dairy products. So the amount of protein that is contained in meat is fairly concentrated, is fairly high, and in order to synthesis the amino acids that are broken down through during the digestive process from eating those foods will require an enormous amount of insulin and so many of the people that are suffering from diabetes now actually do not have diabetes because they have eaten too much sugar or starch foods, but, they are mostly diabetic because their body is forced to produce an enormous amount of insulin in response to eating concentrated protein foods such as dairy food or meat and once again, to synthesize the amino acids that are generated, when you digest meat for example, requires up to ten or sometimes twenty times the amount of insulin that would be required for eating a couple of tablespoons of, or even more, of white sugar.

So there is just no comparison, that is why there is a new study, a fairy new study that came out and was released by the National Institute of Cancer, studying five hundred fifty thousand Americans and they discovered that eating meat on a regular basis increased the risk of dying in these individuals, to the amount of twenty percent, that means, that the chance of dying increasing will also mean that the risk of developing other diseases will be the higher just as much or even more so. And the risk from dying from diabetes is very, very high when you eat meat according to the study.

So once again, you do not have… a person does not have to continue having diabetes and being on medication which has side effects of course, but that diabetes is reversible and so is urinary tract congestion, kidney congestion. I would make sure to drink the kidney tea so that these crystals are broken down and they do not accumulate in the bladder area, in the bladder walls, where they can backwash into the prostate gland, and also making sure that not any new crystals like uric acid are formed from overeating products like meat. Having said that, I wish that this beautiful, wonderful gentleman will recover from this ordeal and taking self responsibilities is one if the best and first steps to recovery.

Having a good life and making sure that during the summer period he is exposing his skin, his entire body to the sun, to at least get some amount of vitamin D generated in his body which will also be incredibly helpful for prostate issues as we now know. Prostate issues respond very, very well to increased amounts of vitamin D in the blood stream and in the tissues of course, and so this would be very beneficial for recovering from the prostate conditions.

Thank you.

Disorders of the Urinary System

By Andreas Moritz 

The urinary system is a very important excretory system of the body. It consists of: two kidneys which form and excrete urine; two ureters which convey the urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder; a urinary bladder where urine collects and is temporarily stored; and, a urethra through which urine is discharged from the urinary bladder to the exterior of the body (see Figure 1).

Figure 1: The Urinary System

Smooth functioning of the urinary system is essential for maintaining the appropriate balance between water and substances dissolved in it, as well as between acid and alkalis. This system is also involved in the disposal of waste products resulting from the breakdown (catabolism) of cell protein in the liver, for example.

Most diseases of the kidneys and other parts of the urinary system are related to an imbalance of simple filtration in the kidneys. About 26-40 gallons (100-150 liters) of dilute filtrate are formed each day by the two kidneys. Of these, 34-52 ounces (1-1.5 liters) are excreted as urine. With the exception of blood cells, platelets and blood proteins, all other blood constituents must pass through the kidneys. The process of filtration is disrupted and weakened by poor performance of the digestive system, and the liver in particular.

Gallstones in the liver and gallbladder reduce the amount of bile necessary to digest food properly. Much of the undigested food begins to ferment and putrefy, leaving toxic waste matter in the blood and lymph. The body’s normal excretions, such as urine, sweat, gases and feces do not usually contain disease-generating waste products; that is, of course, for as long as the passages of elimination remain clear and unobstructed. Disease-causing agents consist of tiny molecules that appear in the blood and lymph, and can be made visible only by powerful electron microscopes.

These molecules have a strong acidifying effect on the blood. To avoid a life-threatening disease or coma, the blood must rid itself of these minute toxins. Accordingly, it dumps these unwanted intruders into the connective tissue of the organs. The connective tissue is a gel-like fluid (lymph) that surrounds the cells. The cells are ‘bathed’ in the connective tissue. Under normal circumstances, the body knows how to deal with acidic waste material that has been deposited in the connective tissue. It releases an alkaline product, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), into the blood that is able to retrieve and neutralize the acidic toxins and eliminate them through the excretory organs. This emergency system, however, begins to fail when toxins are deposited faster than can be retrieved and eliminated. Consequently, the connective tissue may become as thick as jelly; nutrients, water and oxygen can no longer pass freely and the cells of the organs begin to suffer malnutrition, dehydration and oxygen deficiency.

Some of the most acidic compounds are proteins from animal foods. Gallstones inhibit the liver’s ability to break down these proteins. Excessive proteins are temporarily stored in the connective tissues and then converted into collagen fiber. The collagen fiber is built into the basement membranes of the capillary walls. Consequently, the basement membranes may become ten times as thick as normal. A similar situation occurs in the arteries. As the blood vessel walls become increasingly congested, fewer proteins are able to escape the blood stream. This leads to blood thickening, making it more and more difficult for the kidneys to filter it. At the same time, the basement membranes of the blood vessels supplying the kidneys also become congested. As this process of hardening of the blood vessels progresses further, blood pressure starts to rise and overall kidney performance drops. Ever-increasing amounts of metabolic waste excreted by kidney cells, normally eliminated via venous blood vessels and lymphatic ducts, are held back and, in turn, increase thickness of the cell membranes.

Through all of this, the kidneys become overburdened and can no longer maintain normal fluid and electrolyte balance. In addition, there may be precipitation of urinary components that form into crystals and stones of various types and sizes (see Figure 2). Uric acid stones, for example, are formed when uric acid concentration in the urine exceeds the level of 2-4 mg %. This amount was still considered within the range of tolerance until the mid-1960s. Uric acid is a by-product of the breakdown of protein in the liver. Since meat consumption rose sharply at that time, the ‘within the norm’ level has been adjusted to 7.5 mg %. Yet this adjustment does not make uric acid less dangerous for the body. Stones formed from excessive uric acid (also see ‘Bladder stones’ in Figure 3) can lead to urinary obstruction, kidney infection and, eventually, kidney failure.

As kidney cells become increasingly deprived of vital nutrients, including oxygen, malignant tumors may develop. In addition, uric acid crystals that are not eliminated by the kidneys can settle in the joints and cause rheumatism, gout and water retention.

Symptoms of impending kidney trouble are often deceptively mild in comparison to the potential severity of kidney disease. The most observable and common symptoms of kidney problems are abnormal changes in the volume, frequency and coloration of the urine. These are usually accompanied by swelling of the face and ankles, and pain in the upper back. If the disease has progressed further, there may be blurred vision, tiredness, falling off in performance, and nausea. The following symptoms may also indicate malfunctioning of the kidneys: high blood pressure, low blood pressure, pain moving from the upper to lower abdomen, dark brown urine, pain in the back just above the waist, excessive thirst, increase in urination, especially in night time, less than 500ml urine per day, feeling of fullness in the bladder and pain passing urine, drier and browner skin pigment, ankles puffy at night, eyes puffy in morning, bruising and hemorrhage.

All major diseases of the urinary system are caused by toxic blood; in other words, by blood filled with tiny molecules of waste material and excessive proteins. Gallstones in the liver impair digestion, cause blood and lymph congestion and disrupt the entire circulatory system, including that of the urinary system. By removing the gallstones, the urinary system has a chance to recuperate, rid itself of existing accumulated toxins, stones, etc., and maintain fluid balance and normal blood pressure. This is necessary for all the processes in the body to run smoothly and efficiently. There may be a strong need to also cleanse the kidneys (see The Kidney Cleanse in Chapter 5 of The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush).
