What does fear, poor hearing, loss
of hair and sore lower back have in common? What
about low libido, bone and/or joint problems, teeth
problems and poor memory? If you said kidneys, you
are 100% correct. In natural medicine, the kidneys
are much more than a filtering unit. The kidneys
are considered the energy source or "battery pack"
of the body. Quick lesson in natural medicine theory.
We are born with a specific type and certain amount
of energy call Jing. We will use the analogy of
Jing being pure gold. Through proper lifestyle good
eating habits, exercise, ample sleep etc.), we can
maintain the gold and add a lesser quality of gold
to our supply. Conversely, through poor life habit,
we use our gold supply. When our gold is gone, we
then visit the Great Banker in the sky so to speak.
As mentioned above, if a person is experiencing
any of these problems, look at the kidney energy
as being weak. As with virtually everything else,
given the right environment, the body will correct
itself. So what is the correct environment? ====================================

====================================
Warm hearty soups, whole grains and
roasted nuts are highly recommended as are small
dark beans, seaweeds and steamed winter greens.
Cook foods longer, at lower temperatures and with
less water. The kidneys affect the ears and hearing
so the ability to listen clearly is heighten by
the sounds of cooking and voices from the kitchen
will stimulate the appetite. The key flavors are
salty and bitter in this order. Cold water fish
is the ideal food with almonds, celery and Japanese
miso soup forming a great compliment. There are
a number of supplements that can strengthen the
kidney energy. At the top of the list is call an
herbal formula called Shou Wu Chih. It is based
on an herb called Polygoni Multiflori. This is known
as the "honeymoon herb" in that it is a strengthener
of the libido and the Jing. It is very inexpensive
and can be found at any Herb Store. Shou Wu Chih
(pronounced "Show - Woo - Ch-er") is in liquid form
and has a strong herbal taste which you will never
confuse with ice cream. Other supplements which
strengthen the kidney energy are Chlorella, Spirulina,
RNA, Vitamin B12, Nettles and Royal Jelly (which
I will go into detail about in a future eNewsletter).
Traditionally, if you want to strengthen your kidneys,
do something that you are afraid of. As mentioned
prior, fear is the emotion of the kidneys. When
fear is address or conquered, the kidney energy
is powerfully strengthened.

QUICK TIP: Pork and ham are 2 of the major contributors
and/or possible causes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Avoid these or at least keep at a minimum. If you
have joint problems, drink or eat pineapples/pineapple
juice. Probably the best natural substance for joint
problems.
