Kidney Infection Symptoms
Kidney infection symptoms are serious. If you suspect a kidney infection please visit your healthcare professional. If you don't treat a kidney infection your kidney could fail. I know most people have 2 of them and you can live a normal life with just one. But why risk losing one of them. Just think of the doctor bills, the pain, the agony, and the needless risk.
A kidney infection is also known in the medical field as pyelonephritis. The cause is normally a bacterial infection that has spread from the bladder. So the moral of this story is if you have a bladder or urinary tract infection treat it right away. Otherwise it could end up in your kidneys. Kidney infection symptoms -sudden onset of chills and fever- -dull pain over either or both of the kidneys-this is in your lower back. -tenderness when the area over the kidneys is touched- -frequent urination- -burning sensation when urinating- The doctors will treat you with antibiotics. If this is the case taking a good quality probiotic is a must. The antibiotics kill the bad bacteria, but they also kill the good bacteria. Without the good bugs you can't digest food, and a yeast overgrowth is a given. More women than men get urinary tract infection and kidney infections. This is because of the difference in our anatomy, the way we are built. The best way to heal kidney infection symptoms is to deal with the urinary tract infection too. Of course the good old standby is cranberry juice. Make sure it is not sweetened. Sugar only adds to the problem. Cranberry also comes in supplement form, which can be stronger and better. But again, read labels to make sure the manufacturer didn't sneek some sort of sweetner in that too. Research tells us that cranberry prevents bcteria from attaching to the linings of the urinary tract. If you are a diabetic, don't drink cranberry juice, take the supplements. Another herb you can use is grape seed extract. This is highly anti-bacterial. Make sure you supplement with probiotics when you use this. Here are some herbs that can be found in combinations that are great for kidney infection symptoms and urinary tract infections. -cornsilk- a diuretic. Can be used with high blood pressure and diabetes. -parsley-keeps the body from reabsorbing salt, which makes it a diuretic. -uva rusi leaf-diuretic and disinfectant. Used to treat nephritis, kidney stones, and chronic cystitis also. -cleavers-mild antibiotic affect. Helps with inflammation and irritation. Also good for high blood pressure. - buchu leaf-increases the fluids and solids of the urine. Will cause an odor in the urine. -juniper berry-helps purify the blood and filter out the waste. Helps normalize blood pressure. Do not use more than the suggested dose. The result could be kidney irritation. -kelp-helps replace nutrients and electrolytes. -cayenne-same as kelp. Vitamins for kidney infection symptoms -B vitamins- -vitamin c- -vitamin E- Extra minerals needed for the kidneys -potassium- -copper- -magnesium- I have a friend that almost died from a kidney infection. She had a very high fever and had to lay in ice for a long time in the hospital. The doctors have put her on an antibiotic that they tell her to take for a year. The doctor also told her to take 1 probiotic a day. The result has been devastating. She has lost too much weight, her health has gone down hill fast. She just keeps developing other medical problems that they want to put her on more medications for. Which in my opinion stem from the antibiotics. They put her on the little purple pill, Nexium, for her stomach because she used to get ulcers. Well, without enough good bacteria in the stomach because the antibiotics are killing it off, she probably would have developed an ulcer. I did convince her to wean herself off the purple pill and take DGL (dehlycyrrhizinated licorice) instead. The moral of the story is to use your best judgement. The doctors only know what they have been taught, and most know nothing about natural healing. Your body can heal itself if you just give it what it needs. And in my opinion, that is not necessarily the current medical systems idea of just masking the symptoms. I believe that once you know the kidney infection symptoms and causes, you can help your body heal itself with your help. Mother Nature has given us some of the best medicine in the world. In fact most of the modern prescription drugs are synthetic versions of plants. But plants can not be patented, and unless drugs are patented, there is not enough money involved. So please take control of your own health and let nature help you heal the way it was intended.
