WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) -- A new research from Karolinska Institute in Sweden shows that men who take vitamin C supplements regularly have a higher risk of developing kidney stones. The study, published Monday in scientific periodical JAMA Internal Medicine, indicates that men who take vitamin C supplements (typically 1,000 mg per tablet) are twice as likely to develop kidney stones as men who do not take any dietary supplements. The risk is also found to increase with the frequency of vitamin C supplement use. However, the regular use of multivitamins is not found to be associated with the risk of kidney stones. The researchers believe that both the dose and combination of nutrients with which the vitamin C is ingested are important. For this reason, the observed increase in risk does not apply to a normal dietary intake of vitamin C from fruit and vegetables. The research is based on data from a large population-based study of men, who have been observed for 11 years on average. "Given that there are no well-documented benefits of taking high doses of vitamin C in the form of dietary supplements, the wisest thing might be not to take them at all, especially if you have suffered kidney stones previously," says study leader Agneta Akesson, associate professor at Karolinska Institute.

Drink tea w lemon juice or a swig of vinagar and no painful stones. Acid dissolves the stones, I think. Comments please, I do not want the stone experience.

Young discussed what he believes to be the true causes of disease. This led him to develop a new form of biology to help people balance their body chemistry using mostly dietary changes and eliminating inflammation. The human body is alkaline by design, and when it's in this state, we have energy, vitality, and fitness; however, when it's acidic, people can experience fatigue, irritations, sensitivities, allergies, and inflammation, he stated. "In fact, I've said you cannot have acid without pain...I've referred to that as Stage 4 Acidosis," he commented. Ideally, a person should be between 7.3 – 7.4 on the scale of the pH test strips, and "by managing the pH of the internal fluids of the body, they will live longer and healthier," he added. Young outlined dietary practices that can increase the alkaline level of the body, suggesting that we eat food, not because of its caloric value, but for its electric potential and life force energy. For him, this means a lot of green and raw foods and drinks (which are high in chlorophyll) like parsley, cucumber, spinach, broccoli, hemp, and avocados. Drinking water treated to be more alkaline is another helpful practice, he said, noting that there are ionizers that can create this, or people can buy drops to add to their water. Increasing the consumption of green foods is the best way to build health in our bodies, "cause if we want healthy bodies, we have to build healthy blood," he said. Young further recommended that people get healthy amounts of salt in their diet to stay alkaline. Salts help to support the stomach, which pulls sodium, water, and carbon dioxide from the blood to form sodium bicarbonate which alkalizes the food we've eaten, and neutralizes acids from metabolism, he explained. Vets & Suicide First hour guest, registered nurse and talk show host Joyce Riley reacted to a recent report showing a high rate of US veteran suicides-- 22 deaths a day. This number refers to active duty, so the number of vets outside that classification could bring the rate up much higher. The Dept. of Defense doesn't want to address the toxic environments which the troops have been in, like the massive burn pits, she said. Exposure to such areas can adversely affect the brain, as well as the depleted uranium present on many battlefields, which is basically radiating the troops, she added. Riley also noted that soldiers in the war zone with mental problems were being given high doses of psychotropic drugs, and if they committed suicide in the theater it was referred to as "non-combat death."

Acidity contributes to stone formation according to Dr. Young on C2C. A couple of types can be dissolved (will check tape and let you know later). You might be able to retrieve broadcast from archives of some stations (if you're not an Insider).
