Detox for Liver and Kidneys

[Ebersolk]

Can someone advise what detox they are using for kidneys and liver? My daughter had a raised bun/creatine level.

We use Liver Balance and Kidney Rescue from the company Pure Body Institute of Ventura. I think these are great products!

We use milk thistle and garlic capsules. My son's BUN/creatine levels are usually fine by themselves but the ratio is almost always out of range. Yasko thinks this is very relevant, my LLMD thinks that in kids, it doesn't mean much. The milk thistle and garlic haven't helped his ratios but they make us all feel better and with all the abx, I'm certain the milk thistle is helpful.

Laura, what does Yasko think it is relevant to? Lyme, Pandas? I don't believe DD was tested for it but when I brought DS to Dr. B, his was a high ratio. But the two alone were in normal range.

[LNN]

My memory's rusty on why Yasko thought it was relevant. It was one or two sentences amid a 2 hr DVD. It stuck out in my mind because of my son's experiences, but there were so many things in the DVD that I took note of that I can't remember what she was talking about at that moment. Her main focus is Autism, so I don't think she was talking about Pandas at that point in the video and she usually only mentions lyme in passing. I think she was either talking about chronic infection in general or else it was during her discussion of heavy metals. The only thing I remember thinking was "Hmmm - she thinks the body is telling her something but our LLMD has always said he doesn't pay attention to the ratio in kids"

 

Sorry I can't remember the details. Shortly after (this was the Dec '11 time frame) my son's ratio was normal for the first time. It was right after we'd done some brief mercury chelation with DMSA. But when we did another test this past spring, the ratio was out of range again. Yet, symptom-wise he was good. Aside from Yasko, I've never found anyone who focuses on the ratio, so I don't know what to make of it.

Sometimes a high Bun ratio can mean dehydration.

We use Milk Thistle & NAC 2caps of each every day.

 

We also have color coded cups with lids and straws - everyone has their own color - they are 24oz each and everyone in my house is required to drink at least 3 cups/day. Controlling, I know, but both of my children are on MANY meds for Lyme/co-infections including 25 IV infusions each per week and we have maintained liver and kidney health with these simple things.

DD has struggled with high BUN, high creatinine, and high ratio - all on and off when she has been in a flare. Her levels are definitely linked to dehydration, as we increase her fluid intake, the levels slowly return to normal. It took us a while to get a handle on it though as she has always had a great intake of fluid - it seems when she is in a flare up however, her fluid intake needs to be almost doubled or else her body registers as dehydrated? Don't know the science behind why that is, just that she needs way more fluid during those times, and then we are able to keep her levels within normal ranges.

 

Sorry, I'm not much help on the detox portion though....

 

Good luck!

Maybe that explains the frequent urination issues.... Your body is getting rid of fluids which would lead to the excessive need to urinate and then registering as dehydration. Wierd pattern. Then the more fluids you take in resulting in more urination. Huh... Don't know just thinking.
