Hyper-parathyroidism causes calcium Kidney Stones.

Kidney stones are formed for several causes, previously I wrote about it a post, and how diet changes can prevent hypertension because sometimes hypertension is the cause of kidney stones. My Mom, who has kidney stones and had surgery two years ago to remove some kidney stones, was tested for PTH levels in blood run by my sister Dr. Alejandra Chavez Rubio to find the cause of these recurrent kidney stones. It turns out that the real reason why her kidney keeps forming kidney stones is because a she has hyper-parathyroid-ism, this is also known as parathyroid tumor a parathyroid adenoma, this is a benign form of a tumor, not carcinoma, apparently one of the four parathyroid glands is over-producing the PTH Para-thyroidal Hormone, who is in charge of regulating the calcium and phosphorus in the blood stream, this hormone gives the signal for the bones to start releasing calcium out of the bones into the blood. The high amounts of calcium in the blood is known as hypercalcemia, Calcium starts accumulating in the kidney, the amount is so high that the kidneys or kidney is unable to get rid of all this calcium through the urine, and starts building the Calcium Stones, in this case it could be Calcium Oxalate or Calcium Phosphate. Normal size Parathyroid glands are the size of a rice grain, but an over reactive parathyroid gland is the size of an olive, this is removed by surgery with a known neck and head surgeon. There is a fairly new technique known as MIVAT Minimally Invasive Video Assisted Thyroidectomy, in this case; parathyroid adenomectomy. So hopefully this can be helpful for people out there wondering what causes the kidney to form this life threatening condition. Remember this is only one cause of kidney stones formed, so make sure if you have had kidney stones before, to tell you doctor about this type of test, which is level of Parathyroid hormone in blood and check your calcium in blood. Hyperparathyroidism is a lethal condition, that sometimes people doesn't realize that you have it, some of the symptoms are Fatigue Depression Kidney stones Insomnia Short of breath May God bless you and heal you!

Preventing Kidney Stones.

If you want to avoid having kidney stones watch your diet and your blood pressure, prevention key DRINK PLENTY of WATER. There are different types of kidney stones; some of the more common ones are the calcium oxalates and calcium phosphate. Kidney stones may be formed by Calcium Oxalate or Calcium Phosphate, Uric acid, Struvite stones, Cystine stones. Another common cause is Hyperparathyroidism primary causes Kidney Stones post.Click here to read the post. Struvite Stones are formed due to the result of kidney infections, preventing infections will prevent kidney stones to be formed. Cystine stones are due to a genetic disorder where the cystine leaks into the kidney and forms crystals that eventually accumulate into kidney stones. Calcium kidney stones can be prevented by eliminating salt from your food and use spices instead of salt, don’t add salt to your food and avoid salty foods. Because salt increases the quantity of calcium that our body eliminates through urine, which can eventually accumulate in the kidney, forming the kidney stones. Avoid Deli meat, canned soups, processed foods, fast foods, msg, sodium bicarbonate or baking soda, baking powder, nitrates. Stones of Calcium oxalate may be prevented by avoiding in your diet; salt, peanuts, nuts, Brussels sprouts, berries, oranges, avocados, tea, coffee, and spinach, rhubarb, and wheat bran. Uric Acid stones are formed when the ph of the urine is acidic. Avoid foods with high protein like eggs, meats, poultry, fish and shellfish. Uric Acid attaches to calcium in urine, so again AVOID SALT. (Salt increases the elimination of calcium in urine). If you have suffer from Kidney Stones and want to prevent getting them again, a dietitian that specializes in kidney stone prevention can write a plan meals that will lower the risk of your kidneys forming stones again, based on the specific type of stone that the person formed. Being overweight can be a risk factor to have kidney stones so the same change of diet can also help to lose the extra pounds. The nutrition and diets that are followed by people that want to avoid hypertension or so called (DASH) diet can reduce the risk of forming kidney stones, which includes fruits, vegetables, limited milk, cheese, yogurt and cream, and low on animal protein. Lower back pain is one of the most common sympthoms, if you suspect of having kidney stones see your physician. Diet can help at some degree once you have had kidney stones, but if you can prevent it, is even better. Blessings!

Prevent cancer with Alkaline PH Diet.

Make sure that you are taking the necessary steps to alkalize your body, it is important if you want to keep your body away from harmful growing bacteria or a chronic inflammatory process. Acid ph in your body weakens your immune system, and is the perfect habitat for multiple bacteria and disease, to maintain your body with a alkaline ph we should start by having in your diet fruits and vegetables and organic grains and fiber, less red meats and more fish, poultry, more legumes, also avoid all refined sugars and flour, never ever drink soda, limit or avoid alcohol and also avoid as much as possible all processed foods, canned foods, frozen foods, I know it sounds like an impossible dream, but making healthy meals with fresh organic foods will pay off. The way to treat localized acid ph is to use baking soda in your dental cleaning and even on your bath sometimes you can pour a spoon full of baking soda. One of the reasons why cancer thrives is because we don’t pay enough attention to our diet and we live in with acid ph until a get a disease, the best medicine is your food, the best medicine is the preventive medicine, try not to get sick in the first place, is not easy but we should keep trying every day. Being healthy is not a one day thing or a one a day pill is making big changes in the ways we live. Blessings!

Severe Flu or Cold Symptoms.

It has been a long time since I got a cold with severe symptoms like this time, plus having to take antibiotics because of the debilitating nature of this specific viral infection that it seem have incubated for a week and make me feel tired untill it hit me hard and then got formally sick. There are more than 1000 different cold viruses and viruses mutate all the time, if our immune system is working properly, it should be able to heal itself after the viruses have reached their life cycle, which most of the time ends in self destruction because of an over population. I take zinc and equinaccea, I try to eat balanced diet to get all the minerals and vitamins but it seems like sometimes we do need some more help, I like the multivitamins because is only one pill and make sure it contains calcium and iron, I take it at least 3 times a week. Omega 3 in fish oil is great too. If you ask me about the vaccines, well I don’t like to say that I recommend that you do not take it, but I don’t get it because the times I did got it, I got sick and feel miserable, and doctors and pharmaceutical companies may say otherwise but I am a scientist and the proof of something doesn’t change because of what someone is advertising or saying. If you are experiencing a severe cold or flu and feel you are not going to make it, please visit your doctor because in my case I got an ear infection (bacterial) as a complication of a regular cold or flu, that needed of antibiotics and then I recovered much faster, my kids recover in three days and I was so miserable for about two weeks and feeling lethargic. Thank God He provided us with an immune system to fight all kinds of viruses and bacteria but getting some extra help sometimes is needed. I drink lots of liquids and juices, hot beverages like chamomile and equinaccea tea with honey, also an expectorant like mullion bark if you want tea. Your doctor can prescribe some expectorant in my case two days were good enough to clear my sinuses and throat; some over the counter are good like Mucinex, always read and use properly with the recommended dose. If you have asthma make sure you have your inhaler and don’t take expectorants which may aggravate the asthma symptoms, better to pay a visit to your doctor and make sure you don’t need antibiotics. I pray that you recover soon and hang in there soon you will rise and shine again! Just like I did, thanks to God!

Austin, Tx

We had the chance to come to visit Austin, TX for a few days while coming with my husband to a business trip, we had a great visit to the Texas State History Museum, that was a lot of information, my kids love to learn about the real cowboys and how dangerous it was to be a cowboy. It was perfect for my two kids especially for my 3rd grader that is learning about Texas and other states, I think this experiences are awesome because they absorbed so much information and a way that visually can remember, not only in their imagination when you are reading a book. This is our second year homeschooling and so far so great! I think I need to open a homeschooling blog... Anyway I hope you are all doing great!

What is referred pain?

I am sure you have heard the term, but what does this means?
When you have a referred pain, means that the source of the pain is not the area that is hurting, it means that the pain is being referred to a different part of the body, it could come from an organ or another soft tissue in the body, also pinch nerves.
This can happen in many parts of the body that share the same nerve pathways, for example the pain that is felted when someone is having a heart attack it may be feeling pain in the left arm, even the cheek.
Some other pain sources that you may experience is your liver or gallbladder can give you a pain in your shoulder; a heart affection could be felt as pain in neck, shoulder or upper back. An injured of your wrist can be felted in your shoulder, a kidney problem can be felt as a pain in your back below the ribs.
A problem in your abdomen can be felted as pain in your upper back or right shoulder. Also a lung affection can give you referred pain in your back.
 A pain that goes from the lower back all the way down to your foot or from the lower back to the back of your knee is most of the time the famous sciatica pain, which means that your sciatic nerve is being pinched or got hurt somehow, maybe an spinal injured that is putting to much pressure on the nerve, this kind of pain  also can be felted in the frontal part of the leg and this means an even more serious damage.

Thanksgiving.

Why do we grow old? Why does our skin starts to harden and our bones to soften? everything in God's creation is in a cycle and we are not the exempt from it, the cycle of life and death, but just like it happens with plant seeds, we do not die forever, but only to be replanted somewhere else, I don't know where, I believe that our seeds will be taken to heaven with our eternal Father, where we won't grow old anymore, where no food is needed, where worries are gone, where happiness is there to stay.

The idea of heaven is not often in my head, I am most of the time trying to solve the past, present and future, a waste of time, when I realize that there is nothing that I can solve, the only reasonable thing for me to do is to trust God and pray, obey HIM, and be patient.

Sometimes we are so busy with our daily activities that we forget about what is really important and what will really make a difference in the future for our lives and the life of others.

I am thankful with God for all the blessings that He pours into our lives, and thankful to everyone and everything who serves HIM.

This country is going through a painful catharsis and is not even close to be over, division has marked this times, and that from all the signs is one we can't ignore.

When did the whole world, went so wrong?

Is in the Bible, time after time, if humans keep trying to disobey God's Law, it will back fire every single time.

There is people that doesn't know God, and when you do not know Him, everything that has a sparkle will look like a good idea, especially if is an egocentric one.

Don't forget that the leaf on the tree doesn't move, if is not God's will.

Tea in the Fall.

The weather in Texas is awesome, is already November and is not even under 80 degrees :).
I am loving it, I used to live in Illinois and the winters are long, cold and gray!
I did enjoy wearing nice coats and sweaters to keep warm. Hot beverages in the winter are a must; coffe in the morning and tea in the afternoon and evening.
Well this is my first winter in San Antonio and I am ready to enjoy it!
Whatever the weather is, a nice cup of tea is great for relaxing and healing!

Trusting Yahve.

Today is a weird day, I just want to say... Cheer up, and if you are cheering already, good for you.
Pain makes us go closer to God, sometimes we need a higher dose to start understanding that we have gone crazy, or lost.
I am not right, only God knows His plan.
My job is to trust HIM, my Jesus, Yahve.

Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky?
This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."
