Kidney Stones, Bladder Infection & Prostate Enlargement
Here is a simple common sense remedy to prevent, kidney stones, bladder infections and prostate enlargement that the medical system will poo poo. Most will fall for their bull just because it's just not high tech enough.
..."When the bladder is full, the detention of the bladder wall reflexively starts contractions, as is the case for the colon. When we resist the urge to urinate by keeping the sphincter closed, the pressure within the bladder builds. This leads to further distention of the bladder wall. Additionally, the pressure in the bladder can inhibit new urine from entering the bladder from the kidneys. This leads to increased pressure within the collecting tubes leading from the kidneys to the bladder. Ultimately, this translates into greater pressure within the kidneys themselves. Each kidney is contained within a rightly fitting capsule that maintains kidney size and integrity under normal conditions, and this capsule resists the added pressure in the kidneys caused by this, back up of fluid from the bladder. This makes kidney pressure higher than normal, which leads to reduced filtration of the blood by the kidneys. Now the problem affects the rest of the body, since the kidneys are no longer doing their job well. Toxins cannot be eliminated, and water and electrolyte. or salt, levels cannot be adequately controlled. This can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, and other problems associated with kidney failure."...
This maybe the reason that we continue to loose kidney function as we age. Much to the delight of the medical Mafia where, sadly, prevention is a dirty word... While there maybe some environmental and nutrition components, this information is too compelling to ignore. Please read and heed!

Urination
Urination is the key method of eliminating toxins that can be dissolved in water The kidneys are filters that selectively choose which substances need to be kept in the body and which need to be washed out, and they control the water and salt levels needed by the body. The kidneys are located towards the back, protected by the lower back ribs. They are nestled in dense fat pads that help absorb shocks to the area. The heart provides the pressure for the filtration of blood by the kidneys. Once the kidneys filter the blood and correct for the best urine concentration given current body conditions, the urine collects in collecting ducts and passively drains down ward, by the force of gravity, to the bladder, which 1ies 1ower down in the pelvis. This assumes, of course, that the person is standing, or vertical. When lying horizontally, this gravity assistance is reduced, and filling of the bladder may be hampered.
The bladder is a distensible pouch that has two openings at the top, one for each kidney, that allow the urine in, and one opening at the bottom, controlled by a sphincter, that lets the urine out. Up to this point, men and women are pretty much the same. We'll get to the differences in a moment.

The body, however, tries to do what it can to mitigate the problem. The bladder has the ability to concentrate urine, and it does this to reduce the pressure back-up we have just described. This is why urine becomes concentrated after we have been holding it in for a long time. Some of the water is absorbed through the bladder lining, leaving saltier urine behind.Urine Retention and Kidney Stones
We can now see what can happen from urine retention, We make ourselves toxic by impairing renal, or kidney, function. And we end up with concentrated urine. What can that cause? The answer is simple. What can happen when you concentrate a salt solution, which is all that urine really is? The answer is that it can create crystals. In medicine, these are called stones.
Doctors say that they do not know the cause of kidney stones while researchers study each stone's chemical constitution in a vain attempt to understand why it formed. The typical prevention advice given to stone sufferers is to drink more water. It is known that water can dissolve stones, just as it is known that concentrating a salt solution can form them. It's basic chemistry. However, drinking more is the solution only if drinking too little was the cause. For some people, this may be the case. Dehydration can lead to concentrated urine and stones. But the greater issue, the cultural problem, has been overlooked, It is not that people need to drink more; they need to urinate more!
Holding in urine, then, can cause kidney stones and bladder stones, as. well as lead to heart, circulatory, and metabolic disorders due to reduced kidney function, But there is more it can do, which relates to the distention of the bladder.
Bladder Infections
When concentrated urine is chronically filling the bladder, the lining of the pressurized bladder can become irritated. This may lead to increased susceptibility to infections. Bladder infections, then, may result from urine retention.
Prostate Enlargement
Additionally, when a man is vertical, as when standing or sitting, the bladder is positioned directly above the prostate gland. The outflow of urine must pass from the bladder through the prostate gland, before it enters the penis for final exit. The prostate gland produces fluid that mixes with sperm during ejaculation. Even though the prostate is a sex gland, it must be traversed by urine every lime a man urinates.
When you look at the an anatomy of the lower pelvis you will see that the bladder lies above the prostate and the pelvic floor lies directly underneath it. This means that the bladder and pelvic floor make a prostate sandwich. As the bladder expands, the prostate gets smashed down onto the pelvic floor., compressing the prostate. To maintain its integrity, the prostate enlarges its mass, better resisting the weight of the bladder. As the prostate enlarges, the urethra, which is the urine passage way through the prostate and into the penis, gets constricted, preventing complete bladder emptying and requiring frequent urination. Enlarged prostates plague many men in their older years, a sign that it is the outcome of years of mismanagement of their urinary needs.
In summary, holding in urine can cause it to concentrate, producing bladder and kidney stones. And it causes distention of the bladder, producing bladder infections and causing pressure on the prostate, leading to prostate enlargement. Not surprisingly, these problems are greater in affluent cultures, where elimination is taboo, This means that our culture is giving us kidney, bladder and prostate problems. Doesn't that piss you off?
