High Blood Pressure and Protein Leak

Hello Ted, I ran into your website by accident while I am surfing the web trying to find remedies on my problem. I have a high blood pressure and a protein leak in my kidney. Ultrasound also shows a cyst on my right kidney which is called a boziak 1 or boziak 2. Other than that my kidney per my kidney specialist doctor says it's normal. I was given a high blood pressure pills as well as cholesterol pills. I do not plan to stay on medication as it will cause a side effects as well. Can you please tell me how to lower my high blood pressure, cholesterol and lower my protein leak.

Thank you!

Gabe

For Gabriel from Mission Viejo, Ca:

Is your protein problem "proteinuria" (spilling protein in the urine)? If so, you might get rid of both problems by eliminating all carbonated beverages. I don't know what in the carbonated beverages does it but something in them causes swelling in the kidneys which causes them to spill protein in the urine.

Something I read recently might explain it, but I can't say that it does. Don't remember where I read it (but was on line) stated that a combination of Vitamin C and food preservative sodium benzoate caused the sodium benzoate to be converted back into benzene. If you read ingredients labels, you will find that most carbonated beverages contain both vitamin C and sodium benzoate.

If you want to know what benzene does, just type it into search window and hit go. You'll find a lot of things you don't want to have, including cancer of the kidney. So if you drink even one or two carbonated beverages per day, don't change anything except for omitting all carbonated beverages and drinking water, tea, fruit juice (not fruit drinks) instead and have your urine retested for proteinuria a couple of weeks after leaving them off. If the urine proteinuria level is decreased or negative, you'll know you have found the cause of your problem.

When you get your kidneys messed up, your blood pressure goes out of whack also.
