My kidneys and liver seem quite unhappy. My creatinine & White Blood cell levels are off (creatinine high and WBC low) and I have been having a lot of back pain in the kidney & liver area. I don't get to see my doc again til March 8 and he is currently on vacation. I decided to take a 2-3 day med holiday and try to flush out my system. Did lots of water with lemon all day yesterday and it seemed like the pain in the liver area increased - which would seem to make sense if I'm flushing toxins through my system. Plan to do a detox bath today.

Anyone else have experience with this? I'm a bit uncomfortable off the meds because my symptoms have been flaring a bit but even more uncomfortable with the thought that my body is overwhelmed with all the drugs and screaming for a break.

Parsley for the kidney and kale. Blend it with something else to make it drinkable. Like a whole bunch of parsley

Thank you opugirl. Unfortunately, I can't eat parsley which is too bad because I really like it. I do eat kale regularly in smoothies but didn't know it was good for the kidney and liver.

Just from my last year's experience I would highly recommend adding one more health professional to your care line up. I was having the exact same trouble and actually ended up with an enlarged right kidney, occult blood in the urine and a cyst on top of the other out-of-whack test results. By shear luck of having been doing some marketing work for the doctor that runs the training facility, I ended up with one of his docs saving my life last year. The method taught is one the founder developed to save his own life called Nutrition Response Testing. You want to email or call Ulan Nutritional Systems to get a referral as there are a lot of people promoting that they do it and they really aren't properly trained. Their website is unsinc.info They will only recommend their top doctors and only their top guys are really able to help with the Lyme.

I hope this helps!

I would suggest finding a holistic practioner, reputable, who can help you support the kidneys and liver and body in detoxing in general. I have had to support both many times...very common as the body has to deal with a LOT of toxins in treating lyme. Even without treating it, the lyme and co-infections exude toxins and the body has a big burden.

Milk thistle supports the liver and dandelion also. There are other herbs, too. Lemon water first thing in the morning is very good for both.

good luck!
