I am a big fan of the much successful television sitcom friends. It’s amazing how much fun and humor they brought to a lot of people’s lives and how much they bonded on and off camera.
I remember this episode, the one where Joey has kidney stones. Click here to watch the video since embedding has been disabled.
Joey, played by Matt Le Blanc, is in the hospital for kidney stones and is under a lot of pain. All throughout the experience his friends support him until he finally passes the stone. The director made it look like Joey was giving birth because of the pain he was in.
The audience of course found this hilarious.
In reality however, the pain one experiences from kidney stones is no laughing matter. Anyone who has ever had to pass a stone can attest to this.
The best way to avoid the pain is to prevent getting kidney stones. Drink 8 glasses of water daily or more and take Renalin every day.
Renalin uses only all-natural ingredients like banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa), sambong (Blumea balsamifera) and turmeric or locally called luyang dilaw (Curcuma longa) in its production.
Renalin contains unique combination of four specifically selected that support and promote kidney wellness.

Not all kidney stones are made the same. Contrary to popular opinion the material kidney stones are made up of depends on specific circumstances which led to their formation in the first place. So what are kidney stones made of? Let’s find out…
Calcium Stones
These are the most common type of kidney stones, consisting of calcium oxalate or a combination of calcium oxalate and phosphate. They account for 75-85% of all kidney stones and is linked to high levels of calcium and uric acid in the urine.
Uric Acid Stones
These types of stones are rare as compared to the more common calcium stones. Uric acid stones account for 5-8% of all kidney stones and are caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood stream and urine. Uric acid stones become more likely if the urine becomes concentrated with dissolved substances that increase its acidity.
Cystine Stones
Cystine stones are the rarest at 1% of all kidney stones. They result from a condition, usually hereditary, that causes an increase in the amount of cystine in the urine. Cystine is not easily dissolved in water and therefore cannot be reabsorbed from the urine into the blood which increases the chances that a stone will form.
Struvite Stones
Struvite stones account for 10-15% of all kidney stones, can be very large, and cause serious symptoms. They usually form because of infection which throws off the balance of acid in the urine.
Most stones are passed unnoticed from the body but there are some that becomes large enough to cause problems such as pain, fever, and nausea in some cases.
Prevention is still the best option in dealing with kidney stones, usually by drinking the proper amount of water and taking Renalin daily.
Renalin uses only all-natural ingredients like banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa), sambong (Blumea balsamifera) and turmeric or locally called luyang dilaw (Curcuma longa) in its production.

Most kidney stones can be treated without surgery. Most of the time, our bodies usually pass them without us ever noticing them. Stones that are smaller than 5 millimeters can usually be passed naturally by drinking lots of water and daily physical exercise. Sometimes the doctor may prescribe some medicine to assist in the passing of the stone.
There are cases however that the kidney stone in question cannot be passed naturally and treatment is necessary. There are several treatments available for such stones. They are the following:
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy, or ESWL for short, is a common method used. Done under local anesthesia, ESWL uses X-Rays and ultrasound imaging to locate the stone. A machine called a lithotripter uses target shockwaves to break the kidney stones into smaller particles that are small enough to be passed through the urine.
Ureteroscopic Stone Removal is also performed under local anesthesia in cases where the stone is lodged in the ureter. A narrow instrument called a cystoscope is passed through the urethra and the bladder which then captures and breaks up the stone using a laser beam or shockwaves generated by a device at the end.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy, or PCNL, is a procedure where the doctor makes a small cut in the patient’s back and uses a telescopic instrument called a nephroscope to pull the stone out or break it up with a laser or shock waves.
Let’s face it: none of these procedures sounds pleasant.
The best thing you can do is to prevent the formation of kidney stones.
Take Renalin daily.
Renalin uses only all-natural ingredients like banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa), sambong (Blumea balsamifera) and turmeric or locally called luyang dilaw (Curcuma longa) in its production.

Kidneys are one of the most important organs in the human body without which a human being cannot survive (you got to have at least one kidney to live).
Weighing 4 to 6 ounces, each kidney is about 4 ½ inches long. One of its functions is to filter the blood and balance fluids on a daily basis making it one of the busiest human organs. It also produces the hormone that tells the human body to make red blood cells.
“Kidney stones are an accumulation of mineral salts and mostly combined with calcium which can lodge anywhere along the course of the urinary tract.”
The biggest recorded kidney stone weighed at 1.36 kilograms. That’s got to hurt.
Renalin can also help you avoid kidney stones.

A little bit of salt is okay.
Salt helps us absorb nutrients and keeps your body fluids at the right concentration. Too much salt in our diet can push up your blood pressure which can lead to heart disease or stroke. Also, eating too much salt may cause too much calcium to stay in the urine which can also lead to the formation of kidney stones.
This is especially important if your family has a history of being prone to kidney stones.
Lessen the salt when cooking and avoid high sodium foods like processed meat, fast food, and other salty treats.
Renalin can also help you avoid kidney stones.

As All Souls and All Saints Day fast approaches, Halloween notwithstanding, most of us will be going on long treks to the cemeteries to pay our respects to our departed friends, family, and other loved ones. It’s a time honored tradition for Filipino families and a most welcome opportunity to see familiar faces which we haven’t seen for some time.
A day at the cemeteries however can prove to be taxing as the throng of humanity as well as the heat leave us gasping for air and dehydrated.
Make sure that you bring enough water for you and the entire family.
Soft drinks are OK but water is still the best in quenching the body’s thirst and replacing lost fluids from the heat. Drinking 7-8 glasses full is best especially if you want to avoid getting kidney stones.
Renalin can help with that.

Kidney stones incidence in adults as well as children is a rising problem that has been generally ignored over the years.
There are have been increasing reports of adults and children being afflicted with kidney stones and several factors are suspect such as drastic lifestyle changes, increased stress and pressure in school and the work place, and climate change.
The increase in kidney stones in children has doctors baffled. Some believe that fast food and other ready to go foods high on salt is to blame.
An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.
Drink at least nine glasses of water a day (more if possible), exercise regularly, and take Renalin daily.

It sounds like an outlandish theory but there may actually be a connection between the rise of the incidence of kidney stones and global warming.
What is global warming?
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation due to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are produced from the burning of fossil fuel which powers many of our industries and the rapid deforestation of many of the world’s rainforests.
Now it seems that global warming may also be partly to blame for more people getting kidney stones.
“Rising global temperatures could lead to an increase in kidney stones, according to research presented at the 103rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA). Dehydration has been linked to stone disease, particularly in warmer climates, and global warming will exacerbate this effect. As a result, the prevalence of stone disease may increase, along with the costs of treating the condition. “
