With an epidemic of Kidney Disease on the rise, robbing moreand more people of their health, it's time to become aware ofthis burgeoning threat. Characterized by a progressive loss of thekidney's ability to filter toxins from the blood, kidney disease alsoaccelerates aging.

There are numerous causes of of kidney disease, such asmetabolic syndrome, resistance to metabolic hormones (insulin,leptin, etc.), and increases in parathyroid hormone levels; butobesity appears to play a central role. Overuse of NSAIDs, as wellas exposure to heavy metals may also impair kidney health.Heavy metals (such as mercury and lead) are especially damagingbecause they resist removal, and wreak havoc on a number oforgans and tissues.At PATH Medical we assess patients' blood for heavy metals, andthen meet the challenge with chelation therapy for those withheavy metal contamination. We also use a targeted nutritionalsupport strategy. With so many Americans walking around withkidneys that are on their \"last legs,\" it's time to protect yourKidneys for a longer life.
