Thanks Dee, he started feeling better yesterday! I am not sure of the reason the leafy greens were listed as being culprit in one of the 3 catagories of types of stones. However, I do know that spinach for those of us that feed raw diets to our dogs and cats, is not recommended as a food to feed very often. The reason there is that it can leach calcium from their bones. Maybe someone else can clairfy there if it's the same for humans. Oh..that reminds me that I wanted to post to this group, to ask if EIS will in anyway help strenghten bones. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dee To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 11:44 AM Subject: Re: CS>TJ garland ando anyone-kidney stones and lemon juice
I am amazed at this! We are being constantly told to eat *loads* of leafy green vegetables, and here we are being told that they can cause kidney stones! What is the truth? I suppose the old adage of moderation would apply, but it is surprising, none the less. Dee PS I do hope your poor husband is better soon Lin and I'm sure the good wishes of the group go out to him. -------Original Message------- From: jlgregel Date: 02/19/08 19:03:41 To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: CS>TJ garland ando anyone-kidney stones and lemon juice My poor husband has just been through 2 weeks of misery from one kidney stone that was lodged just an inch from dropping into the bladder. We've spent 4 nights in the ER, with complications from dehydration, vomiting and diarreaha. We've learned much about this problem during this episode. There are 3 types of typical kidney stones and each is unique in what it is composed of. Having a lab analyze your stone is a big plus to knowing how to prevent them for you in the future. There are many foods and meds that contribute to the formation of stones. Of course plenty of fresh water helps in all cases. We were very surprised when a hospital nurse showed us a list of several "culprits" for a specific type of stone. Dark leafy green veggies and brewed tea were high on the list for one of the three types of stones!
