Re: Kidney pain

Do stay on break. And before you start up again, salt load for at least three days, even a week or longer. It takes a while to normalize the "balance", bloating is common. You can try potassium chloride or magnesium chloride in lieu of, or combined with the Sea Salt ....
Also, drink LOTS of water. And eat LOTS of vegetables! Got to keep stuff moving:)
My feeling is that you upped your dose too quickly, ESPECIALLY given your dietary restrictions. Supplementing I will put the kidneys through a work out, fo sho.
I believe in upping dosage slowly, that way you can monitor and tweak your rate of detox....
There are suggestions for kiney support in our FAQ's:)
Can you take lemon at all? Lemon is good for the kidneys.
Also, this tea is GREAT, Bija "deep cleanse"(available at
