Hi Dianna,

It may not mean kidney damage per se. What could have happened is that the Liver Flush has put a heavier load if you will on the kidneys as toxins are released.

Has your daughter done anything to help gher kidneys process all this stuff yet? Beyond the tea, might I recommend Dr. Sculze's kidney flush?

No matter what the reason the protein levels are elevated, this flush will help the kidneys function better and help them remove waste so as not to get overburdened. In the future, it is good to get optimal kidney function before doing the liver flush.

Blessings,

Ali

Schulze Kidney Flush/Detox

That's a very complicated issue, because altho a Liver Flush can stress the kidneys if an enema or colonic is not done immediately afterwards, it is more stressful to the kidneys to have elevated cholesterol and all the problems of a congested liver, over time.

When the liver is stressed so that there are a lot of lipoproteins (fat/protein combos) in the bloodstream, these will eventually damage the kidneys the same way a pimple will enlarge a pore. That "enlarged pore" in the kidney's filtration system then allows protein (albumin) to escape into urine.

The best indicator of the health of her kidneys is the Creatinine lab result on bloodwork, coupled with the urine test. If Creatinine is high, then that means ultrasound and even a biopsy to see why. If it's not high, then that's a good sign that this is a temporary condition, possibly due to hormonal changes affecting the urinary system as a whole. Hypothyroid, for instance, will cause proteinurea.

If her urine didn't get dark after the liver flush, if she didn't get any kind of swelling on her legs/ankles or under her eyes after the liver flush, then chances are good that it did no damage to her kidneys.

In the meantime, it would be a great idea for her to take a bit of Lecithin every day. This will help remove unnecessary lipoproteins and fats from her bloodstream and really help both liver and kidneys.

She should also be careful to only eat the amount of pure protein necessary for her and her baby and no extra. 2-3 eggs but nothing else in a single day, for instance, or 4 oz chicken or fish but nothing else. Veggies and grains have a lot of protein, more than people think. :)

Hope that helpes! :)

I don't think it has anything at all to do with the liver cleanse she did months ago. She is most likely spilling protein because many, many pregnant women do, and she needs to be watched carefully for preeclampsia. Did you, mom, have any problems with high blood pressure or swelling while you were pregnant? It tends to run in families. If she begins to swell and retain water in her feet and/or hands, develop a severe headache, severe heartburn, epigastric pain, and also if she has visual changes, seeing spots before her eyes, flashes of light and that sort of thing-----these are all signs of worsening preeclampsia and she needs to notify her doctor immediately.
Your daughter ought to eliminate all table salt s, only use Sea Salt . She needs it for the extra minerals. I would also suggest she takes a coral calcium tablet everyday as it has lots of usuable magnesium in it and that is a great supplement for a pregnant woman to take. Make sure whatever one you purchase has magnesium listed on the ingredients. She needs to drink 8-10 glasses of pure water a day, about 1 qt for every 50 # of weight. Clean up her diet and eat lots of fruits and veggies, she needs the fiber to combate constipation. It is very easy to become constipated while pregnant. Using some psyllium everyday would be beneficial for the extra bulk in her stools.
Eat good oils everyday like olive, flax and coconut oil. Avoid the bad oils, hydrogantaed oils, processed foods.
Good luck and keep us posted.
PS, make flowerchild happy and tell me she is going to breast feed!!!!!!!!!!!!
