- m - n Kidney StonesKidney Stones are formed when minerals in the urine crystallise into stones in the kidney and bladder. These can cause excruciating pain, and sometimes even kidney failure. Kidney Stones can be caused by inadequate fluid intake, nutritional problems such as gout, too much animal protein or Calcium in the diet, or kidney infection. If the stones are small they can be treated by ultrasound, which break them up into smaller pieces that can then be passed in the urine. If they are larger, however, surgery might be suggested to remove them. However, there are a variety of complementary treatments which many help in the recurrence of stones and some use substances that help to break them down. Tip: if the stones are found to be caused by excess Calcium, a nutritional therapist will recommend use of Magnesium, Vitamin B6, Lysine and Vitamin A to lower levels of Calcium. Treatments: Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Herbal Medicine, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Nutritional Therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine.
