Kidney cleansing while on medication...

Hey there.. (first off, sorry for all the questions, I know you can't answer much if at all... just going to give it a shot anyways).
I'm just wondering if kidney cleansing while on my benzos and HC is a safe idea? Cleansing and restoring the kidneys isn't going to affect medication levels in my blood?
Reason I ask, I've been drinking 4 cups of fresh parsley tea the past 3 days and have been getting a huge flair in my symptoms... dry mouth, dizzy, sweating, emotional issues, cognitive issues, exhausted... and my lower back is having a lot of sharp pains.
Should I continue... and is this a good sign?
I'm currently holding all meds.. (5mg Val, 15mg HC)
Thanks.

This is a reply to # 2,270,451That's a *lot* of parsley tea - especially when made with fresh parsely.
The lower back pain indicates (to me) that some kidney attention is needed.
The herbs in the kidney tea/tincture are primarily for dissolving build-up throughout the kidneys and increase urination. The amount of increase in urination varies substantially from person/condition to person/condition. That shouldn't have much (if any) effect on serum med levels. But increased urination can cause a need for common electrolytes, so fresh juices would be very beneficial (as tolerated, of course), as well as superfood.
If it were me, I'd start the kidney cleansing at 1/4 strength...and then work upward, as tolerated -- and maybe have a cup of parsley tea (well diluted) spread throughout the day until you start the kidney cleanse.

This is a reply to # 2,270,531I've definitely had more urination throughout the day... that's for sure... I'll cut back to a cup of parsley tea a day in the morning until I can get the kidney cleanse and then switch over to that.
ps: Is blood pressure a good indicator if my electrolytes are okay? BP has been okay.. around 120/80, maybe a tad bit lower, but I HAVE also been pretty weak and muscle twitchy.
Thanks Uny. - Re: Kidney cleansing while on medica... dpier1987

This is a reply to # 2,270,531Also, 1/4th strength as in 1-2 cups of the Kidney Tea per day... and work my way up?

This is a reply to # 2,270,581So this morning I felt like absolute hell... and it got worse until 10am when I felt like I was going to pass out, was disoriented, very weak, didn't know where I was, nauseated, muscles twitching, and it was hard to speak... thought I was going to collapse.
Went to a walk in clinic and they did a few tests... blood pressure was actually normal... but I went to hospital anyways to get checked over.
Blood Sugar was 58 in the ride there. It was about 11am at that point.. and I hadn't eaten anything yet.
I'm not sure what's going on. I stopped drinking the parsley tea, because it was causing me too pee too many fluids out (I had no idea that I was drinking too much of it)... and have a doctor's appointment in a few days.
No clue what I'm going to do with my meds anymore. Sitting at 5mg Valium and 15mg HC and don't know what to do. I'm very hypoglycemic when I don't eat on schedule and when I do too much activity (like walking, lol)
Should I even bother with the kidney cleanse right now? Do the herbs keep for a while so that I can save them for months down the road?
Any input welcome. I'm pretty defeated right now.
PS: Electrolytes were normal... but I was dehydrated and the blood Sugar issues are getting to be severe.
PPS: This is my fitday journal entry for the past like... 10 months.... for easy of prep and because I'm not very reactive to it.

This is a reply to # 2,270,653I'm also considering the fact that I may not have taken 32.5mg of my 48mg of Nature-Throid (they switched out for Armour Thyroid months ago) on Wednesday.
Wednesday morning I found one of the Thyroid pills (32.5mg) in my blue single pill container and wasn't sure if that was one that fell in their when I was fumbling with my medications or if I forgot to take it in the morning.
Would missing a dose cause that? Considering it's only 3/4 grain that I'm taking total?
Being on all of these damn hormonal poisons sucks.
