Re: Chelating/treating Lyme with weak kidneys

That's a good question for Newport...

a sick liver also puts stress on weak kidneys, because they have to work together for the Urea Cycle to take place.

but Uric acid (which causes gout), and Urea are talking about different things.

Urea is what the ammonia is supposed to be turned into in the liver, and even if you aren't taking ornithine supplements, ornithine is a natural part of the urea cycle too.

>>>The liver produces urea in the urea cycle as a waste product of the digestion of protein

The test Newport mentioned, the BUN test, would show the Urea cycle, and if it's out of whack.

>>>The blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test is a measure of the amount of nitrogen in the blood in the form of urea, and a measurement of renal function. Urea is a substance secreted by the liver, and removed from the blood by the kidneys.>>>

My farmer/rancher husband was helping me understand this better last night too (he also took chemistry that I got out of, and don't understand)...

One of the ways he naturally fertilizes the fields for nitrogen..is he puts cows on them through the winter..the urea is putting nitrogen into the ground.

Old timer's always put manure on their gardens for fertilizer too.
