Save The Kidneys, Naturally
Nutrition is the key to a healthy life
It is time to get the right informa
tion about what health is, and what
constitutes a healthy choice I bring
to clients the newest and best infor
mation on how to stop the progres
sion of illness, and where possible
to reverse illness. We have been
able to bring considerable, measur
able results in nearly 100percent of
clients. We can help you, too! Call
me, let’s talk about your health!
As you may well know,
the kidneys are part of the body’s
filtering system, where toxins
are picked up by the circulatory
system, carried to the kidneys to
be removed from the body. This
is important for maintaining our
overall health.
High blood pressure, and
high blood sugar are two of the
main causes of kidney disease
which makes kidney failure a
lifestyle disease, totally prevent
able by diet.
Eating lots of acid produc
ing foods such as micro-waved
foods, tap water, boxed or instant
foods, chips, processed foods,
soft drinks, artificial sweeteners,
meats, and also many prescrip
tion and over-the-counter drugs
tax the liver and, in turn, the kid
neys.
In the presence of a
poor diet, eventually the kidneys
become over burdened by the
heavy toxic load. To help with
the filtering process, the heart
increases the flow of blood plas
ma to the kidneys, which in turn
elevates blood pressure.
As the kidney cells die, the
risk of kidney disease increases
dramatically. End stage kidney
disease occurs when about 90
percent of kidney function has
been lost. People with kidney
failure may experience nausea,
vomiting, weakness, fatigue,

confusion, difficulty concentrat
ing and loss of appetite.
The right foods prevent
heart disease and diabetes, and
therefore prevent kidney failure.
Also today there is clear evi
dence that a vegetarian diet free
of chemicals and artificial ingre
dients can actually reverse kid
ney disease and thereby circum
vent kidney failure.
In order to restore healthy
kidney function, we eliminate as
much toxic acid waste from the
body as possible. This is a real
detox, which allows the kidneys
to rest, and with proper feeding,
to regenerate.
The alkalinizing diet will
re-balance the body’s pH level,
which is the beginning of restor
ing health. The vegetarian diet,
vegetable juices and the right
combination of supplements will
neutralize the acids and dissolve
any kidney stones, and any
clumps before becoming stones.
What to eat: Eat only
organic, naturally grown foods,
mostly raw. Cooked veggies
should only be lightly sauteed in
coconut oil and seasoned with
herbs and spices, Sea Salt and
pepper, (no salt substitutes, noth
ing with chemicals). Try adding
more beans, and unsalted nuts,
seeds, and organic almond butter
to your diet.. Fresh fruit and veg
etable smoothies, nothing artifi
cial, no meat, milk, chicken, deli
meats, no pork.
For the smoothies, use
almond milk or rice milk, organ
ic carrot juice or organic apple
juice with frozen fruits and fresh
cut and washed veggies. Make
up your own recipes using only
fresh organic ingredients.
Eat wild caught fish, fruit
salads, green leafy salads and no
pickles.
Drink bottled purified and
filtered water, tea made at home,
no sugar and no artificial sweet
eners. Have a glass of organic
cranberry juice daily to disinfect
the bladder to discourage infec
tions. ( and empty the bladder as
needed, no holding).
Eat at home, no eating out until
your body is healed!!!.
It seems extreme, but it works. Is
your health worth the work?

Jenkins High School Students Receives

By: Malissa Smith, Tribune
Intern, Jenkins High
School
On Wednesday April
13, HV Jenkins High School
students gathered on the
track field as the Teen Maze
Program reenacted a scene
from an actual accident that
injured one driver but killed
the other.
The plan was to
demonstrate how risky
behavior such as drinking
and driving can crucially
impact your life as well as
the lives of others. As part
of the reenactment, one teen
entered the car intoxicated
and began to drive home.
The teen driver then crashed
into another car in a head on
collision.
One teen was rushed
to the hospital in an ambu
lance, seriously injured. The
other driver was pronounced
dead at the scene of the acci
dent.
The Teen Maze
Program is designed to help
youth understand the choic
es and consequences they
encounter in their everyday
lives.
The program encour
ages teens to make informed
decisions by providing a
safety net to explore real-
life situations with real con
sequences. The ultimate
goal of Teen Maze is to
stimulate teens to think
about the potential effect of
reckless behaviors such as
speeding, driving under the
influence of drugs or alco
hol, lack of seatbelt use, etc.
Exposure to this information
will help teens make safer
choices when faced with
risky situations.
The purpose of the
Teen Maze is to show
youths that the decisions
they make now have long-
lasting, far-reaching effects
on their lives and the lives
of people around them.
Those who participate
examine the consequences
of life's choices in a realis
tic, educational, creative and
fun way.
Memorial Health Bariatrics Again
Named Center of Excellence
Memorial Health
Bariatrics, the weight-loss
surgery program at
Memorial University
Medical Center, has been
renewed as a Center of
Excellence by the American
Society for Metabolic and
Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS).
The program was first desig
nated a Center of Excellence
in 2008.
Memorial Health
Bariatrics is a comprehen
sive surgery, education, and
support program for people
who are morbidly obese. To
earn the Center of
Excellence designation,
Memorial Health Bariatrics
went through a series of site
inspections in which its sur
gical processes were closely
examined. Memorial Health
Bariatrics also submitted
data on its patient outcomes.
The ASMBS Centers of
Excellence program was cre
ated after clinical evidence
showed that the most experi
enced and best-run bariatric
surgery programs have the
lowest complication rates.
The program recog
nizes facilities that perform
well and encourages sur
geons and hospitals to con
stantly improve the quality
and safety of the care they
provide.
"Receiving this designation
for a second time is a great
honor. It’s also a reflection of
our commitment to provid
ing the highest level of care
and safety for our patients,"
said Oliver Whipple, M.D.,
bariatric surgeon and med
ical director of Memorial
Health Bariatrics.
According to the
ASMBS, there has been a
substantial increase in the
total number of bariatric sur
geries performed annually in
the United States. In 2004,
there 140,640 bariatric sur
geries and in 2008, the num
ber increased to 220,000.
The ASMBS is the largest
society for this specialty in
the world. Founded in 1983,
the purpose of the society is
to advance the art and sci
ence of bariatric surgery.
Memorial University
Medical Center is a two-state
healthcare organization serv
ing a 3 5-county area in
southeast Georgia and south
ern South Carolina.
The system includes its
flagship hospital, a 530-bed
