Thanks 😊
So the gut is acquitted from all charges? What about the vague nerve?
The gut is responsable for what happens in the kidney's. If the gut does not function well, the kidney has to work harder. But actualy what we put in the air we breath and what we put in our mouth and what touches our skin will role how are bodys work. All the organs work together if we put to much work on one, over time the other organs will suffer to.
And those who have no renal problems? What about people who have been exposed to chemicals that cause Parkinson's?

I think this connection - brain and kidneys is nothing new.. Chinese medicine is working with it thousands years already.
Several years before I was actually diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2014, I went to a Chinese man, doctor, and he said I had cold kidneys. He gave me a bunch of herbs to take and left it at that. I didn't notice any difference but then again I probably gave it only a half-hearted effort. I never did figure out what cold kidneys meant but maybe there's some relationship here.
Cold kidney's could be due to cold drinks, raw foods (fruit and vegies, yoghurt), or cold enviroment or cold plants (some plants cool one down, some heat one). Like bananas and spinach are very cooling. Also nuts and seedoils are cooling. It is importent to eat coocked meals 3times a day. Except red meat.
Red meat and fats from meat you can eat at roomtemperature, it is neutral. Some herbs heat your outside like pepper and chili, but they burn the kidneys. You need herbs that warm from they inside out.
interesting jeffreyn , but in my opinion from the same website, even more interesting this research:
