Your kidneys are one of the major detoxification organs in your body. Every day they process about 200 quarts of blood to filter out about 2 quarts of waste and extra water, which is excreted through the urine.  If the kidney is unable to do it’s job of filtering the blood from the waste products of food and tissues, these toxins would build up and destroy the healthy cells and tissues.  As well as filtering the blood of waste products, the kidneys also release three important hormones.  These hormones have very important functions.  Erythropoitin stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells, Rennin, regulates blood pressure and Calcitriol helps maintain calcium for good bone health and normal chemical balance in the body.  Because of these important functions it is important to keep the kidneys as clean as possible with optimum function.

Mucus can be a big problem for the kidneys as it can clog the filtering system.  Mucus occurs because of a response to allergies and the ingestion of substances that are not beneficial to our bodies such as junk food, too much sugar, medications, and food that is either too hot or too cold.  The good news is the kidneys respond very well to specific foods and juices.
