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

There are numerous causes of of kidney disease,
such as metabolic syndrome, resistance to
metabolic hormones (insulin, leptin, etc.), and
increases in parathyroid hormone levels but
obesity appears to play a central role. Overuse
of NSAIDs, as well as exposure to heavy metals
may also impair kidney health. Heavy metals (such
as mercury and lead) are especially damaging
because they resist removal, and wreak havoc on a
number of organs and tissues.?At PATH
Medical we assess patients' blood for heavy
metals, and then meet the challenge with
chelation therapy for those with heavy metal
contamination. We also use a targeted nutritional
support strategy. With so many Americans walking
around with kidneys that are on their "last
legs," it's time to protect your Kidneys for a
longer life.
