kidney stones

Children dealing with the oftentimes excruciating pain of kidney stones are becoming increasingly more common around the world.  There have been some reports showing an increase of 500 percent in the United States over the past several years.

More people are becoming conscious about what they drink as well as what they eat which is a good thing – usually. Pop is becoming less popular because of its empty calories and high sugar content but unfortunately other drinks with a “healthier” reputation such as iced tea are gaining in popularity.

Kidneys are the master chemists of our entire body. Sitting on either side of the spine the two fist-sized organs are responsible for processing all kinds of chemical compounds and dealing with heavy metals, drugs, toxins and all other substances released through the urinary tract.
