In this video, we’re going to talk about the seven warning signs that your kidneys are toxic.

What is the purpose of the kidneys? Kidneys filter your blood to get rid of toxins and reabsorb useful nutrients.

The more your kidneys are damaged, the more they fail to filter out waste products and toxins.

Early signs of kidney damage can include:
• A metallic taste in your mouth
• Itchiness
• Ammonia odor on breath

Here are the 7 Warning signs that your kidneys are toxic:

1. Edema (fluid build-up) in legs or underneath eyes

2. Uremic frost (urea crystal deposits on the skin)

3. High blood pressure

4. Exhaustion

5. Excess protein in the urine

6. Acidic urine

7. Low vitamin D

These are the primary causes of kidney damage:
#1 Diabetes
#2 High blood pressure
#3 Polycystic kidney disease
#4 Glomerulonephritis

If you have end-stage kidney disease, it’s important to avoid having too much phosphorus and potassium.

If you don’t have severe kidney damage, potassium is one of the most important minerals to support your kidneys.

When you have kidney damage, you will likely have low vitamin D and calcium.

The best foods and nutrients for your kidneys are:
• Leafy-green vegetables
• Asparagus
• Kale
• Celery
• Fish/seafood
• Organic grass-fed meat
• Baja gold sea salt
• Renafood (Standard Process)

Avoid these foods if you have kidney problems:
• Spinach
• Almonds
• Kiwi
• Beet leaves
• Beans
• Grains
• All low-quality foods that contain chemicals, herbicides, pesticides, and GMOs

2.5 liters of water daily is ideal for supporting healthy kidneys.

The Healthy Keto diet and intermittent fasting plan is the best way to support healthy kidneys. If you’re new to this keto diet plan, check out my other videos on keto and IF to learn more.

Dr Berg, I want you to know that Hospital doctors here in Arkansas are telling patients to watch your videos. People need to know this!!! You are saving lives!!!

[prepperjonpnw]

Is anyone else seriously grateful not just for everything this doctor shares with all of us but for the fact that he does so without constantly bombarding us with some sort of sales pitch to buy some self-serving self-promoting “secret” formula
and/or product with his name and picture splashed across the label of whatever “snake oil” everyone else is pushing?
I for one am extremely grateful for everything he shares/teaches/warns with/for/us of with such professional non-inflammatory calm.

Dr Berg saved my life. I was pre diabetic. I lost 90 pounds thanks to Dr. Berg's advice! I'm on zero medication, and I am living life again! Thank you isn't enough!

[bholmes]

I'm in stage 4 kidney failure my doctors don't care about me at all so hopefully I can do this on my own I have two babies who need me!

[nikiciabee]

God bless you sir. My mom finished chemotherapy and radiation this year for breast cancer and we are desperately worried about kidney damage. I will look into all you have said. Anyone reading this, please pray for healing- not only for my mom, but the countless people all over the world who are battling disease.

My mom died the end of Jan this year due to Kidney Failure.
Too many prescriptions for pain... They gave her steroids for some of those symptoms listed...it destroyed her. And it happened so fast
She was 65. I love you Mami. ❤️
Please take care of yourselves. Hug your loved ones.

[houseofrosesnthedark]

Thank God my kidneys are now stage 2, I watched a lot of Dr Bergs videos and with the grace of God I went from stage 3 to stage 2 which is virtually healthy. God bless guys 🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲❤️

I just want to share my experiences. I had a bladder infection and diverticulitis, and refused to take out my bladder. Infections were eliminated but were associated with edema, high blood pressure, exhaustion and urinary tract infections. This went on for over a year which caused my legs to become weak and nerve damaged, spasms and cramps occurring frequently. The damage to my legs was not severe.
I took celery capsules, the Dr. Berg Formula bladder formula, garlic, oregano, potassium chloride 4800, sulbutamine and Tudca. And lots of prayers to Allah SWT.
Intermittent fasting 18 hours daily and meals restricted to eggs, temp, tofu, pork choy, asparagus, avocado, papaya, and other meals always start with KimChi. Some meat now and then.
Infections and edema disappeared within a month and gain leg muscles strength.

I've had swelling in my lower legs and my feet for 2 plus years. I've seen 3 different doctors for other things but I did mention my swelling to all of them. They all acted like they didn't even care. None of them even had suggestions when I would ask them. Thank you Dr Berg, I now know why I've been completely exhausted for the last 3 years!!!

My stepdad passed of kidney failure and my mom isn’t going to be too far behind him with the same thing. I’ve also taken care of many patients with kidney failure. I don’t think people understand the magnitude of how miserable a life with kidney failure is. Thank you for posting this. I don’t feel like there is enough attention to this issue.

So one day I went to an ENT. They told me my potassium was extremely low but I didn’t know why. I have bags under my eyes and this helped me to tie it together. My grandma suffers from diabetes and this information means so much to me. I have literally had a lifelong battle with sugar. This man is really blessed and he’s blessing others.

My mom was in renal failure for many years and I can attest all of these are spot on. Trying to take control of my health now so to avoid any of these issues in the future. Renal failure is awful. God bless everyone dealing with it and those who care for them! 🙏

[thebronxisspecial]

Dr. Berg is correct. My mom passed away with kidney disease and it was devastating to see her in that state. Everyone please take care of your kidneys.

If you want to live your best life you have to study about all your organs and understand the entire gut brain and the way the engine room works in your own unique environment and body core self.
D & A and all!
I’ve lost almost 50 kgs and reversed a lot of sicknesses within 18 months.
I’ll continue to keep keto intermittently fasting and OMAD for the rest of my days.
Thank you 🙏 Dr. Eric Berg

[genmar]

Dr. Berg, someone should give you an honorary Medical Doctor's degree! You have helped more people than any MD I know. You helped cure more people than any MD I know. You have helped me, my family, and my friends more than any Doctor that we have ever been to and that sir, is the truth, no one does it like you! You make complex easy! 👍🏽

[henryvargas]

Dr. Eric berg because of you I stopped drinking 4 months straight IF as well and lost 36 pounds already THANK YOU LOVING THIS SOBER LIFE AS WELL WITH FASTING AND EXERCISE

[donnabrooks]

I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I was told that my kidneys are full of cysts, one is barely functioning and the other only half functioning. I have no edema in my legs. Since I started following your videos my skin has gone from yellow to slowly it is turning normal. I seem to be improving with your help. This is frustrating. I found coconut milk is helping me alot too. I am not use to taking alot of medication and hate pain killer and turned down chemo. I wish I could pick your brain because my body seems to be trying to fight back. For the sake of us all don't stop doing what you are doing. Whether I win this battle or not, I feel empowered by your help. Thank you. How can I be improving?

[Seek_Him]

Thank you Dr. Berg !
I had kidney stones 3 years ago & You have told me more in this video than my kidney doctor.

[mondragonpaty]

I'm getting ready to possibly start dialysis when the time comes, I'm at stage 5 kidney failure. I feel doctors don't inform patients well about this issue for patients to take care of themselves. Telling us there's protein in the urine etc and not telling us why or how to avoid it doesn't help. Educating patients about their condition to me is the key. I've been managing my kidney issues with not much information from my doctors, my Dr. never really asked me the correct questions for me to know my kidneys were getting worse. until now that they're preparing me for dialysis I'm finally getting all the information I should've gotten when I started having issues. I learned a lot more watching this video today than all these past few year with my doctors 😞it feels like they really don't care. Thank you for all the information you're sharing.
