Kidney & Bladder

Your entire blood supply is filtered through your kidneys 65 times a day (about once every 20 minute), keeping your blood clean & chemically balanced, by filtering out about 2 quarts of waste products and water which become urine. Your kidneys also regulate other functions, such as blood pressure through release of the hormone Rennin.
What Harmful Deposits in your Kidneys have to do with Heart Disease
At the point of exchange - between the blood stream and your Kidneys - as with any filter, it can become clogged. In your Kidneys it occurs at 'Bowman's Capsule' in picture to right. Your industrial environment enters a chemical mix it did not evolve to handle. Preventing the Kidney from doing its job can result in throwing off blood chemistry, as well as affecting the regulation of blood pressure. Concentrations caused by chemicals from your industrial environment, reduce kidney function which lead to an improper chemical balance of sodium, potassium, phosphate, calcium & other chemical levels in your blood, further irritating the lining of the walls of your arteries.

Additionally your Kidneys are not removing Urea, Lactate and other waste products of your cells which are also irritatants to the walls of your Arteries. These high concentrations rise to toxic levels in the cardiovascular system, because they are not filtered out by your Kidneys as they should be.

Your kidneys also regulate blood pressure by introducing a hormone that causes your arteries to constrict. Any interference in proper kidney function - could interfere with this critical kidney function.

Additionally when you filter something out you are concentrating it. Concentrations of chemicals filtered from your blood can solidify & form deposits that block the kidneys. We have all heard of Kidney Stones, of which there are many types (one pictured to left above). This can also prevent the Kidney from doing its job.

Bladder stones (endoscope picture of bladder stones to left below) are also a cause of urinary infection & scarring, when they make urine to back up into the Kidney.

Over 10 million people a year have kidney & bladder trouble serious enough to go to the doctor. Harmful deposits are the home for the bacteria that cause infection. 35% of women 65 & older & 22% of men 65 & older have urinary incontinence (they have to wear diapers/can't control their bladder). As aggravating as these conditions are, they are just an indication the Kidneys are no longer functioning at the level they need to clean your blood of waste, maintain proper chemical levels, filter out toxins & perform their regulatory functions.

Well before these symptoms surface, harmful deposits in the kidneys are affecting their ability to properly perform functions for the rest of your body.
