Thanks Shawn for the very good info. I printed off your post so we can work on these kidney issues. He has had pain in his kidneys on and off again for about 3 years. His reaction to the flush was a little nerve wracking.
You are not alone in your fight to get your health back. I admire your diligence at such a young age, taking responsibility for your health and educating yourself and now educating others!!
keep up the good work...getting better everyday( that's my motto)
