The kidney has vital functions with regards to the processing and excretion of water-soluble toxins and heavy metals. Kidney Plus from Omega Alpha is traditionally used in Herbal Medicines to help as an alternative to help remove accumulated waste products via the kidneys, skin and mucous membranes and to treat uncomplicated infections of the lower urinary tract. Omega Alpha’s unique blend in Kidney Plus includes premium herbs like Burdock, Uva Ursi, Dandelion and Stinging Nettle just to name a few. Kidney Plus from Alpha Omega can help stimulate the flow of digestive juices with Burdock such as: stomach acid, digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver. The root of Dandelion works to stimulate the release of bile from the liver and gallbladder, which helps the body to digest fats. It also helps to flush the gallbladder and support the release of toxins by the liver. [VCAP]

URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS & BLADDER HEALTH
Urinary tract infections can be frustrating and downright painful. While anti-biotics are useful for severe cases, the right supplements and herbs can give you long term relief for recurrent UTIs...
Infections of the urinary tract are quite common, especially in women. Infections usually begin when bacteria colonize the bladder lining and cause inflammation (cystitis). The infection may spread up into the kidney causing nephritis or to the prostate causing prostatitis.
Interstitial cystitis
is a chronic infection between the bladder lining and muscular layer. Its exact cause is unknown but it is usually non-infectious and occurs subsequent to several cystitis episodes.
Factors that predispose an individual to bladder infections are poor hygiene, the use of perfumed of coloured hygiene products, antibiotic use, oral contraceptive use, catheter use, sexually transmitted diseases, stress and poor nutrition.
Symptoms of cystitis are urinary frequency and urgency with burning pain on urination. Emptying the bladder may not relieve the symptoms. The urine may be cloudy or “coke coloured”, due to the presence of blood. Lab testing of the urine reveals the presence of bacteria. Symptoms can be mild, with gradual onset or severe, with a quick onset. Fever and lower back pain signal that the kidney is affected. The symptoms of interstitial cystitis are the same but are usually recurring and lab testing is negative for bacteria.
Conventional treatment of cystitis involves the use of antibiotics to clear up the current infection. However, the body becomes susceptible to subsequent infections if friendly bacteria are not replaced. The overuse of antibiotics has also lead to antibiotic resistant strains of urinary tract pathogens. Individuals can help to minimize resistance by using antibiotics sparingly and always taking prescriptions until they are finished.
Good personal hygiene habits can go a long way in preventing cystitis. Women should never wipe back to front when using the toilet and both men and women should urinate following sexual activity and intercourse. Any
feminine hygiene
products and toilet paper that are scented, coloured or contaminated should be avoided and underwear should be breathable and not too tight. Some products that might cause irritation of the bladder include lubricants, spermicides, douches and latex condoms.
Dietary interventions to prevent cystitis include drinking 2-2.5 litres of filtered water or unsweetened
cranberry
juice daily. This flushes the urinary tract.
Cranberry juice inhibits bacterial growth and prevents the binding of the bacteria to the bladder wall. Carrot and watermelon juices also flush the urinary tract. Eat garlic for its antibacterial properties. Avoid spicy foods, acidic foods, refined carbohydrates, sugar in all forms, coffee, black tea, tomatoes, spinach and yeast because they may irritate the bladder. For interstitial cystitis maintain an
alkaline diet. Read the article entitled “
Acid/Alkali balance
” for more information.
