Ulcers & Kidney

Uncle Chuckie, What do you recommend for an ulcer and kidney disease?

For an ulcer I would suggest leafy green vegetables like kale, spinach, broccoli, cilantro, collar greens (cooked without the pork or red meat), etc. Drinking cabbage juice, about 2 to 4 oz per day will help heal an ulcer. Also whole leaf aloe vera gel would help to heal an ulcer. Take as directed, approx. 1 tablespoon up to three times a day. Vitamin K is needed not only to aid in the healing, it will help in blood clotting to help a bleeding ulcer. You get vitamin K from the leafy (dark) green vegetables as listed above. I also like a  supplement by Futurebiotics called Vital K. Herbs to help with an ulcer are; White Oak Bark, Goldenseal, Solomon's Seal, Cayenne, Slippery Elm Bark, Birch, Ginger the mint family-Peppermint, Spearmint and Wintergreen, White and Black Willow Bark. The mints, the willow barks and the birch used as anti-inflammatory. Goldenseal should never be used for a prolong period. Cayenne should be used sparingly because it is hot and will aggravate the ulcer a little. Marshmallow Root extract(non-alcohol)will help heal an ulcer also. I suggest taking about 60 drops per day on an empty stomach.
For the kidneys, Juniper Berries will rejuvenate and heal the kidneys. There is a blend of herbs that I like from Nature's Way called Bladder & Kidney that's works well. This blend should not be taken for no more than thirty days then stop for a couple of weeks. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water. To get the suggested water intake per day is to divide your weight by two and drink that amount in ounces. I would suggest a little more when dealing with your kidneys.
