Re: Stage 5 Kidney Failure...
Jensen,
I was praying for you and all the sudden I remembered a book I read years ago. I remembered part of the name and did an online search and found it.
The title is honey, mud, maggots, and other medical marvels.
http://www.amazon.com/Honey-Maggots-Other-Medical-Marvel/dp/0333750381/ref=sr...
It was a fascinating book ---It also has a chapter on urine therapy but I don't remember it and this is before I really looked into it. There is a lot of info in UT and kidney disease..see the dialysis/kidney thread for some links.
But the part that applied was that one of the chapters talked about water.
The man became curious upon hearing of certain illnesses cured by people going into the water at Lourdes I think. He became to wonder if other water could help and he carted thousands of gallons upstairs into a pool and discovered that for this, any water will work.
He discovered that if people stood in water up to their necks, the water in their system would equalize..I think it lowered blood pressure and reduced water retention and some other things.
Something about the water in the body and outside the body going to an equal balance..like a magnet shape of a u with the water balanced equally. I remember in biology studying this principle but IO forget the name ..I keep thinking osmosis or something but it talked about the I am not sure if it was salt or water but it would be equal like a u..if one side was too high or too low, it would even out..anyhow, whatever it was I felt it would help my mom I recall and tried very hard to get er to go to a pool and do it but she never would as she had scarred legs from stepping on a landmine in WW2 and was embarrassed to swim.
Would really think this would be of help in your water retention issues. If you can a fresh water lake would be best in order to avoid chlorine, but...
Try to go frequently if not daily, maybe 3 times a week..if you found a health center with a pool and a dry sauna, this would be very good. to make it even better, start swimming and water jumping around to get some exercise as Schulze requires exercise and this way you could do the exercise, standing/swimming up to your neck and dry sauna all at once. I just feel that god was giving me this as I have not thought about that book in years and these water retention issues came up today on here and I was in the middle of fervently praying for you when it came to me.
Also for your breathing problems, I thought of this at the same time..I am not sure it would help buy eucalyptus essential oil. I have sleep apnea and use this when I have a cold to help me breathe better. It works by expanding the lung passages (alveola} and if it does that maybe it will improve your lung capacity and breathing....worth a try
