Re: Things That Have Helped Me with Kidney Failure

 3. For Uric Acid and Gout: Lemon juice 1 glass every day (I hear that Cherry juice will also help this condition)

Tart cherry juice, not sweet cherry.  Raw apple juice from green apples will also work   It is the malic acid in the tart cherries and green apples that dissolves the uric acid.  You can also buy straight malic acid from wine making supply companies.  Another benefit of malic acid is that it raises ATP levels, which helps the cells to function and function properly.

6. For Problems Breathing and Heart palpitaions: Hawthorn Berries - 4 Capsules of 500 mg or 2 capsules 1000 mg when needed.

Look for a combination of the flowers, leaves and berries since they work synergistically.  The flowers are actually the strongest part of the plant, but it is not sold by itself.  You can find the combination though. 

There are better options though such as magnesium malate, which not only dilates the coronary artery to prevent the ectopic pacemakers that cause the palpitations, but it also dilates the bronchioles that help with breathing.  I also like coleus forskohlii, which also dilates the blood vessels and bronchioles.  Forskohlii also slows the heart contractions while strengthening the heart contractions making it a great choice for congestive heart failure.  Taking it with nettle leaf will prolong the effects.  Nettle leaf also strengthens the kidneys and reduces uric acid.
