Oxalates in Plants and Kidney Stones- Relax!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2020
- The oxalates scare is the newest trend and its really annoying and screwing with people’s heads. Oxalates are not a problem with people that eat healthy and have properly functioning kidneys. If they were, Cara and I would have been in trouble twenty years ago. We’ve been eating massive amounts of kale for 30 years. By eating healthy I mean no animal products, refined flour etc. A recent study found there was no increased risk of stone formation with higher vegetable intake. In fact, greater dietary intake of whole plant foods, fruits, and vegetables were each associated with reduced risk independent of other known risk factors for kidney stones. This means we may get additional benefits bulking up on plant foods in addition to just restricting animal foods.
Plant oxalates do not increase oxalates in kidneys like animal products do
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
studies show people who get stones don’t eat more oxalates than those who don’t
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17538...
People who eat more fruits and veggies tend to get fewer kidney stones
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7140784/
Plant-based diets have been used for decades to treat kidney disease
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2609333/
When researchers removed fruits and veggies from people’s diets, kidney stone formation went UP pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15569...
40 years of studies have shown meat eaters have much higher kidney stones because animal protein is really hard on the kidneys, in essence turning them to stone
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24752...
The body even produces its own oxalates, which the body has trouble getting rid of if you don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables.
Common issues that mess up kidneys is meat and dairy, refined flour & processed carbs, calcium supplements, hormone therapy, stress, burned out adrenals, coffee, black tea, alcohol, smoking anything. Lots of refined carbs and coffee lead to stones and NOT because of oxalates. What many people think is oxalate issues is actually too much calcium.
There is a microbe naturally found in the body that eats oxalates. Antibiotics kill this microbe. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... Healthy gut flora probiotics can easily break down oxalates if working properly. But most people have compromised gut health from bread, sugar, dairy, alcohol etc. What is the main food source of gut probiotics? Raw Plant fiber. Not cooked plant fiber- RAW plant fiber. What DECREASES oxalates? FIBER. Plant foods. Animal products have zero fiber. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
What else breaks down oxalates? Citrates. As in citrus fruit. Not orange juice, but whole fruit, including the bioflavonoids found in the pith and rind of citrus fruits. • How to Consume WHOLE L...
Two of the biggest contributors is to calcium-oxalate kidney stones are calcium pills and commercial vitamin C. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15579... and pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23381... People think they are doing good taking those when in reality they are forming kidney stones- ESPECIALLY if they are also eating meat, bread and sugar- the 3 hardest things on the kidneys. Commercial synthetic ascorbic acid vitamin C is made in a lab by combining corn starch and sulfuric acid- this synthetic vitamin C turns into oxalates in the body. WAY different than the natural vitamin C complex found in plants.
Seriously though, that my friend is the key… having a clean healthy body functioning the way nature designed. Not one poisoned with bread, sugar, alcohol, cigarettes, animal hormones and cholesterol, medication, calcium pills, synthetic vitamins, comfort food, donuts, pasta, cream sauce, beer, fried chicken wings, pork rinds, Cheetos, cereal, cookies, bagels and cream cheese.

I had my first kidney stone when I was in my early 20s, and my second when I was 28. My diet back then was cheeseburgers every day, Mountain Dew, Coca-Cola, milk, pizza, tacos and pastries. My doctor told me to stay away from orange juice. LOL. I rarely ate any fresh fruit or vegetables. Now I am 50, and vegan, and I get my urine tested twice a year. Every time I go, they tell me my kidneys are fine. Back in my 20s, they told me my kidneys had a lot of calcification, and I would have repeated kidney stones. Apparently, switching to plant- based diet has helped flush out my organs and restore them to better health.
Thank you for sharing that Charles!
That's great, your another Rawlywood then. I've been kind of terrified of kidney stones hearing of others that get them. I'm still working on getting my kidneys filtering though! Thanks for your example 👍
All the those wild animals eating plants would have kidney stones by now.
Nice
Do you eat spinach or almonds or cocoa (dark chocolate)? If so, how much and how often?
I hope you never stop helping people, as long as your making your products I will always be a customer
me too!!!!
See? Even a teenager like markus can understand such complicated topics. It's not all that difficult.
Haha! He does look half his age at the least. That alone inspires.
This man spittin
Hi Marcus my husband had massive kidney stones and had several procedures to get rid of them and never ate a vegetable in his life. The good news is he got cancer. I know some people will read this and say that's the good news? Yes because he figured out after years of not listening to anybody that what he was eating was killing him. Although he was underweight and he thought him being send he was healthy he had cancer. He was diagnosed in 2017 and we did every alternative therapy we could find the first one was putting him on a raw vegan diet. We worked with the awesome nutritionist and although the cancer didn't go away the raw vegan diet detox and prepared his body for the other Therapies. Since December of 2019 he's been cancer-free and still is on the raw vegan diet. No more kidney stones no more sinus infections. Thank you so much for this information.
Don't you think it's from junk food, chemicals and sugars?
@@Ikhthus777i think junk food is not real proper food at all 😅
This is BIG FOOD to make people weak and sick.
Thanks Markus!, I'm 58 years old, Vegan, plant based and mostly raw - never felt better and no kidney stones! No prescription drugs, no doctor trips, perfect health! My same age friends at work that eat SAD diet are going to the doctor each month and have had kidney stones or worse! ITS THE FOOD! But most people don't want to hear this.
True. Most people don't like the truth.
Do you eat spinach or almonds or cocoa (dark chocolate)? If so, how much and how often?
Thanks for sharing this message. The oxalate scare is misguiding well meaning people trying to eat well and I don't like seeing this happen
I used to get a lot of kidney stones that hurt - but the less meat I ate - the less kidney stones I got. It's one of the first benefits to going planet based.
Heck, Markus, you sound more like a doctor than the real ones lol! Keep giving us good info and advice and be safe out there. The Lord bless you and Cara.
Wow your last sentence was eye-opening and frustrating at the same time when you said you can't believe you live in a place where people say eating plants is not good for you. So sad and frustrating.
In 3 years after becoming vegan I went from 6 to 1 kidney stone (previous analyzed stones were oxalate). One of these "passed" 😖, the rest apparently dissolved. 7 years on I still have the one small stone. During this time, especially the early years my oxalate intake increased drastically in the form of spinach smoothies. Hope that helps!
Yes it helps tank you
Good Morning THL family! Loved the statement towards the end, where you can't believe you are alive in a place where folks think the ways they do regarding healthy elements. Totally!!! The more of us who understand our natural bodies appropriately, the greater the impact of modeling what good decisions produce.
Thank you, Markus and happy Sunday to all. A mid-week Cara video would be awesome!😉
Yes! I had repeated kidney stones/infections in my teens and all the way through my twenties. I had one so large that it blocked off part of my kidney and gave me e-coli poisoning - yeesh. I didn't eat much processed food then, but I ate lots of chicken, fish, dairy, eggs. I was told to cut back on oxalates - that did nothing. When I switched to a vegan diet they completely disappeared - my doctor was shocked to say the least. I eat TONS of leafy greens now - no stones! Great video!
I just received my kidney formula. 🥰
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Thank you so much Markus, I was so confused about this issue. You are a life saver!
My fathers Spanish and the first food I remember eating was black beans and rice, which I still eat to this day. Seems most of the foods Ive eaten all my life are on the "Foods high in oxalate list". Beets, berries, chocolate, cranberries, dark leafy greens (KALE!) nuts, spinach, sweet potatoes, and a lot of wheat bran as a child If oxalates caused kidney stones I'd have had them by now. I never heard the word 'oxalate' until a couple years ago and when I did it's as if Gundrie was telling me personally that all my food choices my entire life have been wrong! I completely disagree!
Cara al
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Black Beans and rice was always my comfort food growing up. 🥰
Right on the money except for "bodybuilders and house cats". Bodybuilders, yes, but house cats are getting kidney failure from the dried cat food - grains and no water content in that stuff. Cats will do fine on raw meat since they are carnivores, unlike us.
My cat goes crazy for raw pigs liver, that is what he enjoys the most.
Kibbles & cat food dry or wet kills cats & dogs but vets keep pushing it on us saying other natural foods are dangerous. I've seen this happen many times with my friend's pets over many years. Please don't feed this garbage. Poisoning over time.
hi marcus. thanks for this post!! you often confirm the direction i have been heading with care for my body. doctors would have killed me 20 years with their plans. i had constant infections and the antibiotics were killing me. the "cure" they suggested involved putting a cathiter into my heart for injections of more antibiotics. I remember listening to the doctor say this. I said nothing and left. on the way home all i could think was, no fucking way!!! I felt that part of the problem was living in a wet cold climate with too much mold and not being used to it. so i bought a camper and left. drove around for 2 years looking for a better spot to live. but what really saved me was rejecting the doctors and all their drugs. just making a stand for myself made me get stronger. I am still working on this. I eat organic and natural. i prepare most everything i eat. no glutin, dairy. I started meditation and that was a big leap forward in my health. made a bigger difference than anything else. I love how you give us the correct information regarding diet and health. doctors are trained to prescribe drugs and nothing else. they have no training in healthy living. I go for check up to see how everything is going, but i make my medical decisions. I am 69, healthy, no drugs, and no gray hair yet. thanks for all the great info and recipes! you and Cara are amazing and i am happy your videos have become a part of my life.!!!
Markus knows more than the nephrology team I deal with at Stanford
Yikes. What a world
The sad part is some people won’t listen to this because they are stuck in their belief system of not learning on their own. I listen to what is said and do my own research. Markus is spot on.
At my age, I seriously doubt I would be around much longer if I ate the "SAD". I hope I never have to. My intro to this was the China study, and I have been strongly preferring whole foods, plant based, and organic ever since.
Thank you so much Markus !
Along with my parents, my sweetheart and only a few in my family, you have been the most positive and influential in all my life.
Thank you Markus! I really like & appreciate your longer, detailed & informative health videos!
Thank you tons. You are a class, Markus.
Dear Markus and Cara, my experience, with, citric acid is a horror, when I drink or eat something , with citrus acid my bladder goes wild. The plants based vitamin C, is the best. Thank you.
Citric acid isolate also has it's issues. Yes- better to use real plants like the herbal formula
Good morning to my learning coach i am on my journey of health. Getting rid of bad stuff bringing in the good stuff just get my vitamix and my dehydrator is on the order list. Thanks Markus both you and Cara change my life. Love you guys.
Amazing info Markus! Thank you!Much love to you and Cara
I've been waiting for a video on oxalates. Best video yet. 💚🌱🙏🏽👊🏽
he did one last month !
@@Amanda-ev3lg nice, I'll check that one out. Thanks. 👍🏽
Man you’re the best Marcus I appreciate what you and your wife do to Help us understand what’s really going on with our food choices and lifestyles. Thank you bud keep up the great work!
I'm so glad I found your channel! I thought I had it all under control. I almost never go to a medical doctor because I feel good and my weight is normal.im 53 and had a large stone they told me it would not pass so I had my first surgery and had them blasted. He left a stint up there and it was awful! I took it out myself!
I'm off the sugar now. I know it must of been the cookie dough
So I'm getting my gut flora back in shape.thank you so much!
I have passed to kidney stones and yes from bad eating. Then hearing lemonade would help disolve the stones. So when I went out to restaurants I would always orders lemonade, but then found out 99% of all restaurant and store both lemonade was fake. Wow. We learn the hard way.
Thank God you made a video explaining. Thank you for bringing light to this topic
Thank you, Marcus! And avoid TUMS - another reason for stone formation if you eat them like candy! You can also form a stone in just a few hours if you are dehydrated!
yes, I said antacids
@@MarkusRothkranz what are tums?
The voice of reason. Thank you beautiful soul 💗
Love your videos Markus! Thank you!! I shared this with my husband to show his co-worker as we had a conversation a few weeks ago about him saying he couldn't eat spinach due to oxalates. I just shook my head and said that is not true it's from the animal products and the fact that he loves his alcohol! Hopefully he shared this video with that co-worker who struggles with kidney stones.
Thanks for the information. I’ve had kidney stones and may still have them. And yes, on the standard American diet until about a week ago. I too was afraid of oxalates because when you have kidney stones they put you on a diet which excludes so many plants. Going raw vegan as of 2 days ago. Watched the video on how Cara preps her legumes. Going to try that today. I love beans and legumes but have always cooked them. Beginning to come up with some delightful recipes by watching the ingredients you and Cara use. Wow! Never thought plants could taste this good raw. Especially kale 🤨.Following your channel and getting on some of your formulas. The Vitamin C powder is AMAZING! Smells and tastes heavenly. Thanks for putting such passion into your work.
Thank you Markus, I am getting my eyesight fully back from MD thanks to your knowledge and passion-and consistency here and in your books and fabulous products. A lifechanger and - saver indeed! Love you both, in eternal gratidute, hugs from Berlin.
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience? Would it be fine to elaborate a bit more as I am looking towards healing my myopia and astigmatism, and any encouraging experience would be greatly helpful. What kind of eyesight issues where you having? And how jave thi gs changed? Or whatever you feel like sharing.
Lune L I have macular degeneration since 2009, and could stop the degeneration because of my raw vegan nutrition, now I’ve decided to reverse it, and am currently on a juice fast journey. I will go on until I see significant changes... ;-) Just read heal yourself 101 by Markus, it is even free for download... For myopia they are some eye yoga and other training units you can do every day like palming etc!
@@lapernice6978 I read the book of course, thank you for mentioning it. I have myopia and some astigmatism, so different eye issues.
@@blue_sky_bright_sun7599 I know ;-) Also the download about eyes by Markus could give you some hints, and in Germany there is a book out from Mirkasakarim Norbekov, which is really powerful!
@@lapernice6978 I did get it. But to me personally it wasn't much helpful. I was hoping he'd go into a bit more detail about how his eyesight changed as I'm sure it was a process. He does talk about diet and that it can heal the eyes, and about supplements and what to take to improve eye health. It wasn't as specific as I was hoping.
Thanks for the good info. Always look forward to your and Kara’s videos!
Thank you Markus for this informative video on a very relevant subject! The misinformation out there is incredible, and I thank God for the wisdom that you're gladly sharing wtih others!! God bless you!
Love, love, love this video Markus! Thank you
Evil is now everywhere! I guess if they are attacking greens there is nothing else to go after. All the best...Jim from Georgia.
Haha yeah that's right! They got bored trying to find something wrong with Mr. Rogers.
We are experiencing a parasitic cleansing of the earth plane its is rough but necessary.
Thanks for sharing your research with us Markus! I am a fan.
Thank you for this. I was hearing so much about oxalates and the harm they do, but a lot of the information presented wasn’t sitting well with me.
Yes, of course. Those people have NO adequate data to support their claim that oxalate is bad for you.
Thanks for clarifying this subject!
Thank you I need your inspiration to eat right stay on track . I am an emotioal eater nothing says happy like a good cheese burger and fries . I need to make nothing says happy like making your wifes raw cookie dough recipe or smoothie. I have no excuse for my diet self sabotage .All i can do is pray and listen to more of you and your wife .Both are lovely halves to an amazing whole.
God bless you .💜
Thank you so much !!! 👍😊❤
Thank you for this video Markus!
Been waiting for you to do this video for a long time! Thank you👍
Thanks for this Marcus heard people talk it’s about it a lot lately and knew you guys would have the answer.
To be fair I eat a ton of plant foods my whole life and never had a kidney stone yet
Thanks Markus. Just found out I have crystals in urine and they are doing sonograms on kidneys. I read all the scary stuff about oxalates and you have relaxed me. But I do have autoimmune issues and waiting to see results of kidney tests. I have stopped grains, sugar and processed foods but I started eating grassfed, wild, organic and pastured animal products but in very small quantities. I added yogurt for fear I wasn't getting enough calcium. I dont want to have any of that at all but was scared about the oxalates adding up in the produce. I am so happy I heard this video. I will use the info to get back to eating totally clean and plant based with as much raw as I can.
Thanks Markus for this much needed video ! love from Europe!
Markus ! I’ve been using your amazing info and products for 8 years now! I feel , and according to others , look amazing!!! ( I know I look amazing too 😉 ) Thank you for every. Single. Video. I’m always learning from you. 💙💚love and light to you and Cara 🤍🤎💜💛
As always spot on Markus!! Thanks for your passion and work.
Thank you for addressing this!!! I was very confused yesterday because I had read this bs about all the veggies we juice and eat ... thank you
Thank you Markus... I don’t know how you remember all this! Love it..💕🏝
18:39 as a forager - it's the shamrock looking wood sorrels that're called oxalis due to high oxalic acid, as well as purslane - that also has a lot. Both of those taste lemony from the oxalates. Sorrel does too. I was surprised by starfruit - it used to be my favorite fruit (before breadfruit came along - which is a great raw bread)!
I was diagnosed with suspected kidney stone after a series of urinary tract infections that would keep recurring despite repeated rounds of antibiotics. I researched it and found dairy as the culprid which rang true to me because I had eaten a lot of dairy in the months before because a neighbor scared me into eating more protein because I had turned vegan and she insisted I needed more protein. I immediatedly stopped eating any dairy and ate a lot of acidic fruits and a lot of greens. Two weeks later the blood test showed no kidney stone and I have not had a urinary tract infection since. I have been vegan for years now and raw vegan for almost a year.
That's great news!
I love these informative videos. Thank-you.
Love the video,Markus is really nice in talking,love the way he explains everything
When I was doing a carnivore diet years ago I got kidney stones. After changing my diet and lifestyle things are a lot better.
May I ask how long you did it for? Up to now most UA-cam comments only talk about positive carnivore experience. Time will tell though…
Excellent!!! Thanks, Markus! Such valuable information!
Thanks, Markus! Fortunately, I haven't had a kidney stone yet, but I still take your kidney formula when I feel that my kidneys need a little help. I also use the liver formula.
Thanks Markus... Love to you and yours!
Thanks for this Markus. Great video, excellent references.
Thank you Markus for the information... I'm interested in knowing your formulas just for a living...and for making it I read a lot of your free ebooks.
Thanks for sharing it free.
Love you and thank you! One of my favorite long term teachers has lost his way with this.
Aloha! 😉
definitely one of your more informative videos. I look for these. I don't care about the low views - these info crunch ones with scientific papers help me out so much. I love being shoved in my face how little I know and told what I should.
Thanks for listening and responding (with a UA-cam, in this case), Markus! Gratitude!
Thank you Markus!
Right On! Since I went Raw vegan a month ago I can't believe how my own husband and some family members have the need to point out every fear mongering article to counsel me with---- and just last week the kidney stone thing was brought up. What is their problem? I ask honestly. It's weird how people react to me now as they eat breads ,cookies, and meat. They lecture me how unhealthy my diet is as they do "zero" research! Yet still have the idea they are in a place where they can actually instruct. Ooops sorry for the rant but sure needed to get it out of me haha. Thank you for righteous info
Misery luvs company, hope you can stay on the raw vegan, you deserve support!💚
Same from my husband and his health problem infested family.
@Lady Anon absolutely!!!
What a joy will be when she finds a longtime vegan and bond with him immediately 😍😍😍
My mother, who is now 74, also lectures me on my eating habits as a vegan, while she still eats cheese, meat, etc. It is strange that the people who willingly eat things that corrupt their own health give advice to people about proper nutrition.
Don't put meat in the same line as sugars. Otherwise all carnivores in the nature would be sick. And don't call McDonald's burgers meat product, because it's junk
Great video, so many video's on how bad oxalates in plants are had me worried and wondering why i've never had a stone and almost totally live on plants for the last 4 years.
Awesome, Video, Markus, thank you for sharing, love, Diana Lipski 💕 have a Awesome, Sunday with Cara 💕
Thank you... this is what exactly I was searching for... very informative
Omg thank you for this!!! Best video on UA-cam!
You are brilliant. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for this. I have a little kidney damage and also high inflammation. I became a vegan. I found out a lot of anti-infllammatory foods are high in oxalates. I have been so confused about that to eat.
Thank you for this information.
As always Marcus we here in San Diego appreciate everything that you and Cara do. I have learned so much about what not to do and I found everything that I should do was probably something I already knew but had unlearned. So thank you so much
Thanks Fred Diego 😉
With all the craziness I absolutely needed a dose of markus today. Thank you so much
Thank you!
Amazing video!! Thank you.. very well said🙌🏼
i passed my kidney stones by drinking a cup of lemon juice and olive oil mixed together. gone! the reason why i got the stones was a combination of fatty foods and chocolate covered coffee beans. when i stopped that diet,no more stone issues.all praise to jesus
Great Video and explanation! Thank you!
Thanks for your knowledge and clarification! Unfortunately people does not always wanna know the truth and think eating only plants is wrong! Recently my friend told me he is worried about me, because not eating meat etc is bad and I can get anemic etc etc ... I am truly tired of explaining myself...
Thank you do much for this Markus I have been waiting you did not disappoint. It is very important to spread this POV. I find Dr you know who the Lectins are a really issue along with fruit fear. No fruit all sugar is bad including moderate use of fruit for breakfast or lunch. I think there is a balance between veggies and fruit for sure but this no fruit whatsoever is crazy. Would love it if you could do a like video on these topics. PS I have not purchased the Kidney formula I am big on Green, Vitamin C and Night formula. I really have been wanting to get the Liver formula but perhaps what I should do is get both. We all love you and Cara. God bless ..
So interesting. Thank you ☺️
So good to know.. You are awesome!! PLEASE keep up your amazing work!!!
3:31 this is why I tell people it makes really little sense to use calcium to decrease the absorption of oxalic acid when if you eat lots of calcium and it goes into the body where the oxalic acid is - as well as absorbed - it just increases kidney stones, not decrease. People think so backwards on this.
Yea, crazy!
Woa... man.... this is too logical. Why haven't we heard this from Dr's? I guess the info is out there in real studies, but THANK YOU for bringing it to our attention.
Thanks Marcus, awesome info .
I LOVE Both of you guys!!!!! Thank you for all you share!! smooch!!
Thanks for the excellent information, You're at your best here, and glad to put a stop to this debate! 🙂👌
Thanks Jamie. I doubt I put a stop to any debate lol, people stubbornly believe what they want and look for others on the internet to back up their beliefs and addictions so they can keep eating what they want
good to see you guys are ok , tom from the UK
I been saying this always in moderation or healthy habit. Thank you Markus I always learn new stuff. Btw my stomach acid is super strong 😊
Hier kann ich Markus voll zustimmen. Das Problem ist nicht das Oxalat. Wäre dem so, dann hätte ich schon lange Nierensteine. Ich komme oft auf 10 Gramm Oxalate pro Tag. Wichtig ist, Gemüse und Grünzeug wenn roh zu essen! Sobald es gekocht wird bricht die Oxalatsäure aus ihrer Verbindung! Und dann kann es sicher problematisch werden.
Here I can fully agree with Markus. The problem is not the oxalate. If that were the case, I would have kidney stones a long time ago. I often get 10 grams of oxalates per day. It is important to eat vegetables and greens when raw! Once cooked, the oxalate acid breaks out of its compound! And then it can certainly become problematic.
At least I don't have to worry about commercials on your Channel keep up the good work
9:40 I should listen to this at least once a day. Like excising neuropathways in the brain. Collective conscience is so very much in need of this. Thank you Markus. again.
Very informative, Thankyou!
Your the best! Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for sharing this.
Very informative! Answered a lot of questions here! Thank you! Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
