  Speaker 1: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Now here is doctor Troy.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. How many people out
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: there have kidney stones? There are a lot, and if
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: you're one of them, you know the misery of going
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: through that process of trying to get it out of
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: your bladder via a very small opening, and it can
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: be super painful. And some people don't experience a lot
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: of pain. However, let's talk about why they occur. Now,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: this is something that I find interesting in I'm reading
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: this particular article and it says recently, there have been
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: quite a few reports on the successful treatment of kidney
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: stones by the use of vitamin A or special diets
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: high in A. It has been known. Now I want
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: you to hear that word again. They did not say believed.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: They said it has been known for some time. Of
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: course that test animals deprived of vitamin A develop renal calciui.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: So those renal calculi are kidney stones. Renal means kidney
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: calculi means stone or calcifications. Now, are there more than
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: one type of kidney stone? Yes, But if you had
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: kidney stones, wouldn't you at least try to think, hey,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: maybe I should be doing more vitamin A. Now the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: question is is what kind of vitamin A? What there's
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: more than one kind of vitamin A? Well, yes there is,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and most of us if we go to a supplement
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: store and we get a vitamin A supplement, it's going
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to be in likely in terms of beta keratenes, and
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: there are many types, and it takes many beta keratine
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to make one rent and all palmitate. And that's if
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: your gut's good at it. And so what if you
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: have a really poor gut function, like oh, irritable bowels
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: or Chrohn's disease, or you've had antibotics for many, many
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: times in your life, your gut is probably less than ideal.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: So are we going to think that you're going to
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: convert lots of beta keratine into rent and all palmitate,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: which is what the form of vitamin A that you
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: really want your blood? Probably not, So then you're thinking, great,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: what do I get vitamin A then that I can
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: actually utilize? There is still hope. Liver is an excellent
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: source of good vitamin A, and so is cod liver oil.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So liver is excellent. We think, well, you've said another
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: podcast that sweet potatoes are awesome sources of vitamin A. Yes,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: And with sweet potatoes, even though that is beta carotene,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: it has a lot of it, and there are other
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: nutrients that will inevitably help your gut at least absorb
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: some of that. In fact, I remember when my son
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: was very small and we were processing pumpkins and feeding
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: it to him. He literally had a very nice hue
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: of orange to his skin. That's a lot of beta carotene,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: probably more than we ought to ought to give anyone. However,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: that's just the way it goes. And so I want
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to also talk about what other things could we expect.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Why did I say lesser B vitamins. Well, B vitamins
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: like choline, enocetol, riboflavonoids, and especially the niacinamides, the B sixes.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: These particular BE vitamins. We don't need a lot of them,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: but they do help with the breaking down a utilization
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: of proteins. So they help tissues heal. They aren't quite
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: sure how, but they can tell by deficiencies that kidney
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: stones are more apparent. And when they've done high vitamin
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: A and they still get kidney stones, when they add
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: these lesser B vitamins, all of a sudden, the kidney
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: stones are resolved. Now, again, vitamin A does more than
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: just dissolve calcium salts. It actually helps knit proteins together.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And so the last component here that I talked about,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: besides the lesser B vitamins and vitamin A is l lizine. Now,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: many people just call it lizine, but lizine is an
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: amino acid that is incredibly important to our body. Without it,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: we literally cannot do the things we need to do
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: in our body. Because it is what we call an
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: essential amino acid. We must get it. If we do
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: not get it in our diet, we are in trouble.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: And so with that we definitely need good sources of lizine.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Now here's the thing. Lizine itself can be counterbalanced by argenine. Now,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: for some of you out there that are thinking, wait
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: a minute, I used to take that when I worked
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: out so I could build muscle, you'd be correct. And
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: so l argenine is an amino acid that we actually
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: produce in our body. It is not an essential amino acid.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And because of that, we produce a wonderful little enzyme
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: called rginase in the kidneys to detoxify or rather break
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: down largenine into smaller components, because it tends to block
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: kidney tubules and make things not so good for filtration
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: of the kidneys. So when we do too much largenine,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: we actually begin to push out L lyzine, and now
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: we do not have this essential amino acid in the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: form and the quantity that we need. There are some
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: people out there that tend to be a high vegetarian
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: type diet and they will have more L largenine typically
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: than they will lyzine. How would you know if you
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: know anything about lizine or you're like, I have never
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: heard of this and I'm not even sure what it is.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: You can get it at a health food store. L
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: lizine most people use, if they know it at all,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: for herpes miles zoster. They call it when we have
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: a canker sare or cold sore. So if you are
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: prone to cold sores, you probably have already been told, Hey,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you need to take some lizine, and that would be
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: most recommended on an empty stomach so that you could
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: absorb it correctly without getting lost with all of the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: other amino acids in our food. So an empty stomach
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: is the best way to do protein type substances. Now,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: could you just simply do a high diet in l lizine, Yes,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: you could. That would include things like dairy, and I
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: would recommend only raw dairy products. Brewers, yeast, A lot
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: of fish have a decent source of lazine. Avocados, even pork,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: and most fowl like chicken, turkey. Potatoes are a bit
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: better than sweet potatoes, beef, eggs, even shellfish has a
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: decent source of lazine. And white beans. So as we go,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: if you're eating things like lots of chocolate, peanut butter,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: orange juice, nuts, berries, and grapes, seeds, rice, corn, wheat, oats,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: rye peas, barley, chickpeas, hummus, you are getting a significant
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: amount of arginine. So in order to balance these things,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you may find, you know what, I do eat a
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: lot of those things and I get kidney stones. Well,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: vitamin A may be helpful, but we may be saying,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: you know what, YadA, consider doing some alizine as well,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: and a decent source of BEE vitamins like the Brewer gyast.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Even blackstrap molassis would be an excellent source of B vitamins.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: So there are many food sources that we can get
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: up there, and that is always ideal. But for those
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: of you that are like I don't like any of
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: those things, Can I take it in a pill? Yes
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you can. You can contact me and I can tell
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: you pill sources of foods that are high sourced in
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: these natural components with their phytonutrients that we definitely need
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: instead of synthetic derivatives in most supplements. Now, when it
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: comes to lyzine as an amino acid, there are some
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: companies that do it much better than others. So if
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: you do a little research on lizene, you think, my gosh,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: that sounds like me. When there's a deficiency and you're
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: taking lzen and none of it's resolving, you may be
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: taking a product that is denatured llizine because they've heated
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: it too much. So word of caution, there have I
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: researched a lot of lizene products I have not. I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: tend to use natural things. I go after the things
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: like meat, fish, eggs, you know, raw dairy. That's a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: big part of my diet. Am I overweight and miserable.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: And do I have high cholesterol? No? Because when you
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: eat things naturally and the foods that you eat or
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: grow naturally and not unnaturally like cows fed grain instead
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: of being grass fed naturally, you tend not to have
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of these other conditions that go along with it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: And if you think you're eating fast food burgers and
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: you're actually getting beef, I would have you consider again
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: what you probably are eating. It's most likely a soey isolate.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: And in that even if it was beef, guess what
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: they're feeding the cows because they're doing it cheaply. You
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: guessed it. They're feeding them soy beans. If you're lucky,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: they might be feeding it corn, but both have high larginy.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: So with that in mind, you may want to rethink
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: how you're eating your beef, so to speak. I hope
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: this was helpful with those of you that have kidney
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: stones in the shed some light. If any questions concerns you,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: feel free to contact me and I would love to
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: talk about your particular health problem as well as a
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: solution to fix it. Until next time, I'm doctor Troy,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: and remember there is way more right with you than
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: there is wrong with you.
