Kidney Stone

A kidney stone (renal calculus) is a solid mass consisting of crystal aggregates and small amounts of proteins and glycoproteins. There can be one or more stones present at the same time in the kidney, bladder or ureter. Stone types vary in individuals in different parts of the world and dietary factors probably play an important part in the varying patterns.

What Causes Kidney Stones?

The pH of urine influences the formation of stones. Alkaline urine tends to increase precipitation of calcium phosphate and may be responsible for calcium phosphate stones. Kidney stones are formed when there is an alteration in the relative proportions of crystalloids and glycoaminoglycans in the urine.

Conditions associated with the formation kidney stones are:

• Obstruction of the urinary tract
• Infection of the urinary tract
• Climate or occupation giving rise to excessive sweating
• Inherited disorders like cystinuria and xanthinuria
• Gout, medullary sponge kidney

Types of Kidney Stones

• Calcium phosphate stones are very common and easily dissolve in Vitamin C acidified urine.
• Calcium oxalate stones are common. Oxalate is present in certain foods. Diseases of the small intestine increase the tendency to form calcium oxalate stones. These stones do not dissolve in acidified urine.
• Struvite stones (Magnesium ammonium phosphate) are not very common. Struvite stones are mainly found in women after a urinary tract infection. They can grow very large and may obstruct the kidney, ureter or bladder. They dissolve in vitamin C acidified urine.
• Uric acid stones result from difficulty in metabolizing purine (the chemical base of adenine, xanthine, theobromine [in chocolate] and uric acid). They may form in a condition such as gout.
• Cystine stones are rare and may form in persons with cystinuria. It is a hereditary disorder affecting both men and women due to an inability to reabsorb cystine. Children usually suffer from these types of stones.

Signs and Symptoms of Kidney Stones

• Kidney stones may not produce any pain or other symptoms until they begin to move down the ureter.
• Pain is usually severe and often starts in the flank region, and moves down to the groin. Pain in the back and flank may be bilateral or unilateral.
• Pain may be progressive, severe, colicky (spasmodic) or pricking.
• Vomiting and nausea may be present.
• Excessive and painful urination.
• Increased frequency or urgency of urination.
• Pain in the abdomen.
• Blood or abnormal color of urine.
• Fever with chills may be present.

Diagnosis of Kidney Stones

There may be severe tenderness of the abdomen or back. If the stones are big, persistent, or recurring, there may be signs of kidney failure or other kidney diseases.

The following tests help in diagnosing kidney stones:

• Routine analysis of the urine may reveal the type of stone, levels of calcium, phosphate and oxalate, and protein loss if any.
• Ultrasound scan
• Intravenous pyelography
• X-ray of the abdomen
• C T Scan of the abdomen
• MRI of the abdomen
• Retrograde pyelogram

Complications Associated with Kidney Stones

• Recurrence of stones
• Kidney damage – where the affected kidney becomes functionless with hydronephrosis
• Urinary tract infection
• Obstruction of the ureter, acute unilateral obstructive uropathy

The peer-reviewed published research quoted on this page represents some of the studies done on natural alternatives for Kidney Stone. More such studies can be found on pubmed or google scholar. Our doctors participate in or evaluate research from all traditions before formulating our precedent-setting kits. However, the laws on natural medicine vary, from country to country, and we, therefore, make no claims beyond those made by the FDA in your country who is the only authority that can legally make a claim to cure, treat, or mitigate a disease. You are welcome to discuss this research with your doctors. If they truly care about your health they too will take the time to study it with an open mind. You may then take our all natural products for Renal Support. Biogetica supports you in your right to know and chose and we vow to be with you every step of the way. No one will be turned away from receiving our natural supplements even if they cannot pay.

Kidney stone treatment depends on the type and cause of the stone formed. Most stones can be treated without surgery. Drinking enough water (2 1/2 to 3 liters a day) to produce a high urinary output and staying physically active are often enough to move the stone out of the body. Pain-relieving medicines may be required to control renal colic (pain associated with the passage of stones).

Depending on the type of stone, medicines may be prescribed to decrease stone formation and/or aid in the break-down and excretion of the material of the stone. These may include medicines such as diuretics, phosphate solutions, allopurinol (for uric acid stones), antibiotics (for struvite stones), and agents that alkalize the urine, such as sodium bicarbonate or sodium citrate.

If the stone does not get flushed out, surgical removal may be required. Lithotripsy may be an alternative to surgery. Ultrasonic waves or shock waves are used to break down the stones, for them to be expelled in the urine (extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy) or removed with an endoscope, which is inserted in the kidney via a small flank incision (percutaneous nephrolithotomy).

Diet modification is imperative in preventing its recurrence.

Complementary Natural Care

Kidney stones cannot be treated with over the counter homeopathy, Ayurveda or Supplements in most countries. No Natural products are approved by the FDA for Kidney stones treatment. Natural products at best can be used for improving and balancing the functions of your renal system.

Biogetica’s approach institutes a unique mixture of traditional Ayurvedic herbs, advanced resonance Homeopathic Nosodes and Sarcodes along with Natural dietary Supplements.

This combination is believed to focus on: **

• Using natural ingredients that support optimal renal functions
• Providing bio-energetic information on healthy organ functions to maintain a normal pH
• Providing Homeopathic attenuations to optimize the normal functions of the kidneys

Prevention of Kidney Stones

Preventive strategies include dietary modifications and sometimes taking drugs with the goal of reducing the excretory load on the kidneys.

• Drinking enough water to induce a urinary output of 2 to 3 liters, a day.
• A diet low in calcium, protein, nitrogen and sodium is beneficial.
• Restriction of oxalate-rich foods.
• Taking drugs (after consulting your primary care physician) such as thiaxide, potassium citrate, magnesium citrate and allopurinol, depending on the cause of the stone.
• Avoid certain foods that may increase the risk of stones such as tomatoes, spinach, grapes, rhubarb, okra, chocolates, peanuts, cashews, apples and berries.

Biogetica’s mission is to provide you with integrated natural solutions that target root issues across the physical, energetic and informational spectrum of your life. Our Doctors research all possible ingredients and combine them synergistically into kits to potentially lead you back to health and freedom.

Biogetica’s approach to healing is based on the following aspects:
1. Heal the Entire Being
2. Look for Natural Solutions
3. Balance Mind, Body and Soul
4. From Medication to Meditation

1. Heal the Entire Being:
Biogetica has a unique and comprehensive Holographic model of healing which synthesizes all the traditional natural health systems to simultaneously ease physical, mental, emotional layers of your being.

You, as a living, thinking, feeling, vibrating being, are much more than a collection of inter-related chemical processes. You are life itself. Life can never be reduced to a series of chemical reactions as chemical reactions cannot create life. Every thought, emotion, vibration or action leads to a series of chemical changes in the body. Biogetica recognizes this and balances the ENTIRE BEING, bringing mind, body, and soul into harmony. Treating an ailment on a molecular level alone, seldom has a lasting effect as the untreated social, emotional, mental, spiritual and energetic patterns cause the ailment to manifest once again on a physical plane. Holistic healing is necessary for lasting relief. Biogetica, therefore, uses Resonance Homeopathic to harmonize the entire being; flower essences to attune the mind; Ayurvedic, Tibetan, and Chinese herbs to balance the energetic and the physiological manifestation of the five elements; and nutraceuticals to coordinate cellular nutrition.

2. Look for Natural Solutions:
Our bodies are made of and supported by nature and therefore can only be healed by nature in the long term. Chemicals are often necessary for immediate change in an acute situation but tend to do the body more harm than good in the long run. Hence, Biogetica’s Doctors are dedicated to providing natural solutions that are supported by evidence and prior use. To us, the argument is fairly obvious: One would use wood to fix a desk made of wood or metal to fix a car made of metal, so why use chemicals to fix a body made of nature?

Nature has blessed the Earth with natural remedies and healing mechanisms. It would be wise not to ignore them. The intelligence of nature is much greater than that of man. Unfortunately, man still focuses on chemical medicines, as they can be patented and sold for huge profits. Allopathic attempts to treat chronic ailments by interfering directly with the chemical processes using man-made substances have essentially been a failure. We claim to be cracking the gene code, but we still can’t cure a cold with man-made substances!!! Homeopathic and Naturopathic methods are never studied and verified by governing bodies, as there is no one who will spend millions obtaining an approval on herbs, knowing that they cannot be patented and sold exclusively by them.

3. Balance Mind, Body and Soul:
Life cannot be recreated with chemical interactions and there is much more to life than molecular interactions. Our bodies are the most advanced pharmacies on the planet and millions of functions happen each minute with astounding precision. Biogetica therapies are designed to appeal to the balancing forces apparent in all nature by reminding and stimulating the body towards a certain function. The nutraceuticals in our kits provide specific nutrition for a function, the herbs in our kits balance the terrain of the body so that it is able to perform that function and the resonance homeopathies are designed to remind the body to be in resonance with that very function.

4. From Medication to Meditation:
Good health and freedom involve every aspect of our being including diet, lifestyle, exercise, emotional states, thoughts and energetic patterns. Biogetica Drs have therefore designed diet, nutrition, exercise, and meditation protocols specific to various life situations. We encourage you to actively partake in these for best results.
