Bladder And Kidney Cancer Signals


By Nancy Gardner


Your health is supposed to be on top of your priority list. So, grab this chance to look out for yourself for once in your life. If you would pay attention to these symptoms, then they can help you prevent things from getting worse. When that happens, then you shall be thankful for a lot of things in the future.

To begin with, be sure that your urine is clear every time you go to the rest room. This can be a possible sign for bladder and kidney cancer. Thus, get a sample of your urine on that day and go to your resident doctor as soon as you can. Leave the judgment to the person who will know what he is about to do to your sample.

Watch out for any sign of pain in your back. As they say, cancer is a silent killer. This is the reason why you have to be alert for the slightest signs such as this one. When that happens, then being cured will not be a far away dream. You shall have a long life ahead of you and that is all that matters at this point.

You should be alarmed when there is a lump in your abdomen. Take note that this is out of the ordinary. Thus, this will be the best time for you to talk to the doctor whom you trust. When that happens, then your issues will be solved and that can contribute to your peace of mind in the coming years.

Check your blood count on a monthly basis. If you do not have any history of having anemia, then having one right now is enough reason for you to be alarmed. Remember that big things always come from small ones and this principle ought to guide you for you not to take anything for granted as of the moment.

Fatigue is something you must be careful about as well. Be reminded that your body will only react to what is going on internally. Thus, consider that as a sign for you to act on your feet. When that occurs, then your health will be in the same perfect condition once again and this is what is required from you.

Make sure that you are not losing any weight all of a sudden. This may be everything that you have ever wanted but then, this is not the healthy way to do it. Again, a complete check up is necessity and you also have to tell your doctor about your suspicions. It does not matter if you will be viewed as a lunatic or not.

A fever is a cause for alarm too. So, use this detail to point you towards the right direction. When that happens, then all is well on your part.

Overall, you just have to be more conscious of what is going on with your body. Drop everything as soon as one of the things above suddenly happen. Do not waste any of your time in the field.

Renal Calculus Kidney Stone Pathology and Homeopathic Application



Sudden pain from loin to groin sometimes makes people miserable. The reason behind many times may be renal calculus or in simpler terms, kidney stones. Though exact genesis of kidney stones is yet to be ascertained by the scientific community, we know today that they are the aggregates of small amounts of proteins, glycoproteins, and crystals that have potential to damage kidneys if untreated. In more than 50% of cases, the crystals consist of calcium oxalate and in fewer people the crystals may consist of calcium phosphate, magnesium ammonium phosphate, cystine, and uric acid.


Risk factors for development of kidney stones:


(1) Deficiency of vitamin A

(2) Recurrent urinary tract infection

(3) Excessive sweating

(4) Prolonged retention of urine

(5) Immobilization after surgery

(6) Improper calcium metabolism etc


How to diagnose renal calculus?


Certainly the doctors can diagnose renal calculus clinically from the symptoms depicted in a patient. On and off dull pain in loin or lumbar region that increases on movement is the usual presenting symptom of renal calculus. However, many patients also present with severe and excruciating pain from loin to groin when the stone gets lodged in the ureter. Within few minutes patient is miserable with pain and tosses in bed. Sudden pallor, sweating, and vomiting may ensue in some patients. Also hematuria (bloody urine) and dysuria (pain while urinating) may be present. X-ray of pelvic region and/or ultrasonography confirms the diagnosis and also the urine test depicting red blood cells, casts, and proteins.


How homeopathy helps in patients with renal calculus?


The conventional treatment of renal calculus consists of endoscpic removal of calculus with the help of a lithotryptor that breaks the stone into pieces and removes (called endoscopic lithotrypsy). Also analgesics for lessening the pain are given. But homeopathy is known to replace surgeon’s knife in cases of renal calculus. Wide ranges of medicines are there in Homeopathy that have to be applied individually depending upon patient’s signs and symptoms and renal pathology.


How homeopathic medicines act to impart relief?


It is a four-step action with homeopathy—

  • Relief from pain
  • Fragmentation of stone
  • Expulsion of these fragments through urine
  • Putting an end to the tendency to form recurrent kidney stones

The innate tendencies in human beings when get disturbed, such kind of nasty problems crop up. The homeopathic medicines help restore the harmony. That is why the constitutional medicines given considering the physical, mental, and emotional tendencies of patients help prevent recurrences of any disease in homeopathy. The medicines like Lycopodium, Berberis vulgaris, Sarsaparilla, Cantharis, Calcarea carb, Pariera brava, Occimum can, Hydrangia, Thuja etc are some of the top selected medicines for renal calculus.


Auxiliary Line of Treatment:


The patient should be advised certain precautions to lessen the suffering faster and prevent recurrence-


(1) Drinking at least 10 glasses of water is must every day. In our clinical practice, we observe that people those drink less water as a rule are more susceptible to acquiring kidney stones

(2) When there are calcium oxalate stones, one should minimize consumption of spinach, radish, tomatoes, mushrooms, excess tea and coffee, cheese, chocolates, etc. once the harmony is established, patient can be allowed to eat these stuffs in moderation.

(3) Avoid being over-weight. Reduction in extra pounds helps reduce tendency to acquire renal calculus. So drink enough water and exercise regularly for utmost benefit!
