More than 12% of men and about 7% of women will have to deal with kidney
stones at some point in their lives. Once you have suffered through
them, statistics say you're more likely to have them again. Statistics
say they've got an 80% chance of recurrence.
Kidney stones have a tendency to open people's minds to natural medicine.
Conventional
doctors will tell us that common causes include too much calcium, too
many vitamin supplements, too much animal protein, and genetics.
Genetics
can lead to a predisposition to kidney stones, but learned behavior
(diet) within the family is the reason the stones run in families. Some
drugs, cheap supplements, soda, factory farmed animal products, table
salt, tap water, and an acidic diet can all lead to the formation of
kidney stones.
A diet of fresh, unrefined, whole foods prevents kidney stones.
