The Biophysics Approach to Kidney Disease

The biophysics perspective of health explains how modern alterations to our physics environment, especially as it pertains to light and magnetic flux, have led to most, if not all chronic diseases.. This approach is governed by the principles of Light, Water, and Magnetism, collectively referred to as Circadian Biology or Epigenetics, which emphasizes that environmental stimuli control genetic expression. The principle is that health issues often stem from environmental factors rather than internal ones, and recovery necessitates changing the environment in which the sickness developed.

The body's environmental sensors, the cell membranes and mitochondria, are crucial in understanding and reversing mitochondrial diseases, including kidney disease. Light exposure is the primary regulator of our epigenome. Food is essentially stored light, and the water we consume and produce within our cells helps harness this light for biological processes. Magnetic fields synchronize and optimize the behavior of electric charges and light within our system. Health issues arise from disturbances in light exposure, water quality, and magnetic fields, such as artificial light, fluoridated or chlorinated water, and electromagnetic radiation from devices and power lines. Mitigating these factors enhances resilience and health.

Historically, humans evolved with natural sunlight, earth contact, firelight, and natural water sources, which provide essential biological signals for health and longevity. Kidney function is linked to the energy or electric charge of kidney cells. Optimizing mitochondrial function and sleep is crucial for increasing energy production and healing. A fundamental strategy is to watch the sunrise daily, as natural light exposure tunes the circadian rhythm, initiating an optimal hormonal cascade via the pituitary/endocrine system.

Protocol for Kidney Health

1. Full Spectrum early AM Light Exposure: Watching the sunrise with exposed skin and eyes optimizes the brain’s master clock the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) aligning the circadian rhythm and tuning the autonomic nervous system via the Paraventricular nucleus (PVN). This light also turns on the compound pharmacy in the brain called the pituitary/hypothalamus optimizing every single hormone in the body. Use the Dminder app to track the sun's angle. Watch this for 15-30 minutes or couple it with a morning walk looking east as much as possible.

2. Midday Sunlight: When the sun rises above 15 degrees to the horizon, UVA light aids in melatonin production, essential for sleep and regeneration and nitric oxide is produce oxygenating tissues and stimulating blood flow and vasodilation. At 30 degrees, UVB light helps synthesize Vitamin D from LDL cholesterol, boosting the immune system.

3. Evening Light Exposure: As the sun sets, avoid artificial light exposure to maintain circadian rhythm and ensure restorative sleep. That means cover the eyes and skin from artificial LED and fluorescent lighting. Yes, that includes technology screens. Set all lighting to red or at the very least amber/yellow color temperature if you need to use light/screens.

4. Environmental Adjustments: Minimize exposure to non-native EMFs and ensure a healthy living environment to reduce oxidative stress and improve mitochondrial function. Step 1: no wearables on your wrists at night, step 2: no Wi-Fi on while you sleep, step 3: airplane mode your technology devices when not in use, step 4: look to kill power to your bedroom while you sleep (power and light circuits). Coordinate with a Building Biologist to survey/audit your home and provide recommendations for mitigation strategies.

5. Diet and Water: To optimize health, adopt a diet low in toxins that focuses on organic, real, local, fresh, and seasonal foods while avoiding processed foods, industrially extracted vegetable oils, processed dairy, gluten, soy, grains, and nightshades. Paleo diet guidelines, combined with any restrictions which are specific to persons with kidney disease may be a good basic strategy for creating a foundational diet that can enhance mitochondrial efficiency and support kidney function. 

6. Incorporate structured, mineralized, deuterium-depleted, and non-fluoridated water to further boost health and not overload fluid intake concerns.

1. Note: deuterium-depleted (DDW) water is a highly specialized product which can be helpful to persons who are faced with serious health challenges such as organ failure or cancer. Consuming DDW helps lower the overall deuterium content in the body which improves mitochondrial function and can be an excellent adjunct to traditional treatment plans. Details on DDW below in this document.

7. Grounding and Natural Elements: Engage in practices like grounding and exposure to green spaces / beaches and direct contact with ocean water to harness environmental energy for health.

8. Optimize Vitamin D levels: Poor kidney function is associated with low Vitamin D. Vitamin D synthesized from sunlight in the body lowers blood pressure, lowers inflammation in the kidneys and acts as a natural antibiotic 

1. Suggestion 1: Expose your skin and eyes to midday sun for a minimum of 15 minutes between 11am and 1pm.  This is the best way to boost your Vitamin D and thus kidney function and overall health. Take care to avoid sunburn by rotating your body and gradually increasing the amount of daily sun exposure. This will build your “solar callus” which will increase the amount of time you can spend reaping the benefits of sun before burning.

2. Suggestion 2: Medically supervised vitamin D supplementation: Given the critical role of vitamin D in overall health, supplementation may be necessary to maintain adequate levels. However, for individuals with kidney disease, this supplementation must be medically supervised. The appropriate form of vitamin D varies depending on the disease stage, and levels of calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormones must be closely monitored during treatment. This is why natural synthesis of vitamin D through sufficient sun exposure is ideal and preferred.

IR + UV + Grounding + Sleep Environment (blue light/nnEMF mitigation) + DDW + Local/Seasonal Diet + Stress management

Regenerate the cell membrane and mitochondrial membrane by firstly reducing toxins

Toxins:

• Stop using strong spices

• MSG

• Aspartame (and artificial sweeteners)

• Processed foods (anything in a package)

• Processed sugars (ice creams)

• All of these products may contain toxins which lower your immunity and increase the amount of work your liver and kidneys must do to keep you healthy: Makeup, shampoo, soap, moisturiser, sunscreen, body lotion, hand sanitizer, baby wipes, laundry detergent, dishwashing detergent, hair dye, fluoride in toothpaste, chlorine in shower water or swimming pools.

• Use a chlorine filter on your showers

• Use a water filter for your water or drink spring water

• Check your house, especially bedroom for mold, pests, lead-based paint, other toxic chemicals.

• Limit wireless radiation and electric and magnetic fields.

• Biggest culprits:

• Smart Meters on the bedroom wall.

• Local Distribution Lines (Power Lines) on the nature strip with a bedroom in the front of the house.

• Alarm clock, bedside lamp or phone charging on the nightstand next to your bed. If these are plugged in, despite being turned off, they give off harmful AC Electric Fields. These fields dehydrate the body, interrupt brain function and limit regeneration processes whilst you sleep. It’s best to have your phone on airplane mode away from the bed for the alarm and all other technology unplugged from the walls or left outside of the bedroom.

• Refrigerators close to bedroom (Harmful magnetic fields)

• Wi-Fi Routers left on overnight when your body is trying to regenerate. These interrupt your body’s protein turnover whilst you sleep and dehydrate your cells massively. It’s equivalent to heating up a juicy steak in the microwave. When you take it out it’s like shoe leather because all the water molecules have been denatured. Our bodies are 70% water, it does the same thing to us.

• Pool pumps on the other side of the bedroom wall.

• Air conditioners above the bed (harmful electric fields)

• Mattresses that contain metal springs. These conduct ambient radiation and electric fields which amplify the toxic load on the body whilst you sleep. Best to sleep on an organic latex mattress or natural memory foam if you're allergic to latex.

• Weed killer in the yard, pesticides and fungicides used in the garden or house, glyphosate and insecticide on your herb/veggie garden are all toxins for the body that will harm the body if on your property.

• Stop heating plastics with food or liquid that you consume in it. This includes using glass drink bottles instead of plastic. If plastic drink bottles get above 30 degrees BPA will leach into the contents (usually water) and destroy your estrogen and progesterone, amongst other things.

• Stop using Gladwrap/Clingwrap in the fridge. They contain thiolates which absorb into the food causing a neurotoxic effect. Use glass, bamboo, ceramic or BPA-free plastic containers.

• Heavy Metals. The biggest culprits of this are medications such as antibiotics and vaccines. Seafood contains heavy metals in them also, but all but 3 seafoods contain more selenium than metals. Why is this important? Because selenium is the natural chelator and detoxifier of heavy metals. So, for all seafood researched, they contain the antidote to the heavy metal problem as long as you eat the whole food and not take supplements. The 3 that have more metals than selenium are Shark (flake), swordfish and whale. Those 3 should never be eaten.

• Detox:

• Kidneys are a detox organ, and this is impaired rendering the body of a kidney failure patient dysfunctional.

• The body needs support with detoxification, this is taken care of naturally by boosting mitochondrial function with outdoor practices and drinking deuterium depleted water, but you can drink silica water if the body accumulates Aluminium or take Selenium if the body is accumulating Mercury.

• Vegetable Oils: Canola oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, etc…

Cell Membrane Health is KEY! They are optimized by short-chain saturated fats, (Eating good Omega 6’s and Omega 3’s (fish and shellfish).

• Not all Omega 6’s are created equal

• BAD Omega 6’s (132 days of toxicity)

• Canola Oils

• Vegetable Oils

• Grain Fed Meat

• GOOD Omega 6’s

• Grass Fed Meat

• Raw nuts and seeds

• Free Range Eggs

• GOOD Omega 3’s

• Oysters

• Sardines

• Caviar

• Prawns

• Mussels

• Clams

Vagus Nerve Stimulation

• Reduce stress in the body (thinking, worrying, fearing)

• Practice meditation, singing, humming, loud gargling, cold face dunking

Relaxation

• Cultivate real downtime = Meditation, classical music, yoga nidra, qi gong, no stimulation within the last hour of bed.

Kidney Specific Recommendations

Deuterium Depleted Water (DDW)

• DDW (Deuterium-Depleted Water) has been utilized in hospitals for decades to treat renal failure patients and cancer patients. Despite its effectiveness, it remains relatively unknown in the consumer market due to its high cost and the need for specific administration guidelines. It is perhaps the most effective method for enhancing mitochondrial function, particularly for those with elevated deuterium levels. Elevated deuterium levels are common today because modern food, supplements, and product manufacturing processes tend to concentrate deuterium into products which are then consumed. When someone has mitochondrial dysfunction, organ damage or failure, a metabolic disease or low in energy their body contains more deuterium than it should and depleting this via consuming deuterium depleted food and drinking deuterium depleted water is an essential strategy to boost recovery fast.

• Deuterium, the heavy isotope of hydrogen, is naturally present in the human body. However, it becomes problematic when it infiltrates metabolic pathways, such as the TCA cycle and the mitochondrial proton gradient involved in oxidative phosphorylation. This infiltration, often caused by mitochondrial toxins in the environment, slows metabolism, increases ROS production, and leads to a loss of energy, making the body susceptible to illness. Normally, mitochondria produce deuterium-depleted water at Complex IV as a byproduct of metabolism. Drinking deuterium-depleted water (DDW) can support this process when mitochondrial function is compromised. While this is a temporary solution, it helps mitigate the effects of toxicity, allowing individuals to make healthier choices and create an optimal environment for healing.

• Deuterium Levels in Water Sources for Context: 

• Tap Water: Contains approximately 155 ppm (parts per million) of deuterium.

• Spring Water: Typically contains around 150 ppm of deuterium.

• Evian Spring Water: Contains approximately 143 ppm of deuterium.

• Low Deuterium Water: Contains around 136 ppm of deuterium.

• Deuterium Depleted Water (DDW): Generally, contains about 10 to 25 ppm of deuterium.

While the differences in deuterium levels may seem minor, they have significant implications for cellular health. Lower deuterium concentrations can substantially impact cellular functions, promoting better metabolic efficiency and overall health.

• Suggested Protocol

• Mix the 25ppm with your spring water 1/3 DDW to 2/3 Spring Water for 4 weeks.

• Mix the 25ppm with your spring water ½ DDW to ½ Spring Water for the next 4 weeks.

• Mix the 25ppm with your spring water 2/3 DDW to 1/3 Spring Water for the next 4 weeks.

• Complete. At this point you will have dramatically improved your kidney function and it’s now up to you to keep them healthy. You do this by eating an anti-inflammatory diet, drinking high quality spring water, avoiding wireless radiation, electric and magnetic fields, blocking artificial lights, watching the sunrise, using the red/infrared light panel, sleeping in complete darkness, practicing qi gong and meditation, improving your mindset, visiting osteopaths, acupuncturists and receiving massages, filling your life with personal joy activities, letting your emotions flow through you in appropriate situations so they are not compressed within you, and spending time with people you love. Remember, love is oxygen for your soul.

• Bottom line: When we drink DDW, our cells receive more energy because the water contains more hydrogen and less of its heavier isotope deuterium. Deuterium loaded water acts by clogging up your cellular function. Deuterium depleted water acts like rocket fuel with very little resistance for our cells to synthesise exactly what they need in order to heal.

IR/Red light panel on kidneys

• Over 8 thousand peer reviewed scientific studies have shown the benefits of infrared and red-light therapy, formally called photobiomodulation (PBM) or low light laser therapy (LLLT). Light medicine is the most powerful healing modality for overall health.

• In order to synthesize vitamin D to boost your immune system you need good kidney and liver function. When the kidneys are lacking qi, they need nourishment and support to build up your immune system again.

5pm to 7pm is Kidney time

• Set aside this time to be relaxed and not stressed during this time.

Warm Magnesium Foot Bath

• 2 tablespoons of magnesium flakes into warm water. Soak for 20 minutes. Water must cover both feet up to the ankles. Rub your feet afterwards for a few minutes.

• Time: Bathe your feet after sunset before bed. After this foot bath it’s wise not to stimulate your body or mind so you can remain relaxed.

Herbs and Nutrients

• Ginseng

• This may give you more energy and increase kidney qi

• Ginger

• Warming for the kidneys

• Shen Qi Wan’ is an herb specifically used to nourish the kidney energy. This herb not only works on the blood layer, but also on the water layer within the subcutaneous fat to warm the body more fully. This helps the surface of the skin maintain its healthy moisture and avoid drying out.

• As one ages and if illness is present, the energy and warmth of the blood diminishes. As this occurs, the tissue water, superficial to the blood vessels, can become cold. This includes the subcutaneous fat layer which holds water. The superficial layer of this fat may become so cold that it creates an ice like layer which prevents the warmth from the blood, Yang, rising to the skin. In this case, the skin will not be able to maintain its own healthy moisture and will become dry.

• Key: Always look for areas on your body where there may be dryness of an indicator of this imbalance or lack of warmth in the lower body, Yang energy.

• Parsley

• Activated Almonds (soaked and skin removed)

TCM Emotional Healing

• In TCM, the kidneys have an adverse association with fear. All kidney issues which are not functioning optimally are weighed down by fear. So, what can you do? Every day do something that gives you joy. A love practice and a pleasure practice. Joy is the opposite of fear. Fear destroys kidney function. Experience joy from a place of peace. When you are calm one evening, write down 3 things that give you joy that you can do every day. Then set aside some time each day to do them. Cultivating a ritualistic love practice can involve singing, dancing, listening to music, self-massage or playing an instrument. A pleasure practice can include taking a bubble bath, receiving a health treatment such as acupuncture, hands on healing, massage or osteopath treatment. It can also include eating your favourite desert or spending time with someone you experience pleasure from being with.

• Remember don’t stop yourself from being fearful. Allow it to flow through you and run its course. Any emotions you suppress are compressed within your tissues and stored as the vibrational state they contain. We often detox these in our dreams, so your dreams are a good indicator of your emotional wellbeing.

• Pulse Check: The pulse on the left arm on the inside wrist third position is the kidney

• Incisors at the front of the mouth are linked to the kidney meridian. Check incisor health for state of kidneys DC Electric current.

Approach to increasing Healing:

Improve mitochondrial health and function, managing heteroplasmy (mtDNA mutation rate) in mitochondria, as a low heteroplasmy rate indicates better metabolic flexibility and potentially longer lifespans

1. Lay flat on the earth with kidneys facing the sun, allow the full spectrum to reignite their function.

1. This practice stacks the following key practices: Grounding, UV light therapy, IR light therapy

2. Infrared Light Exposure

1. Photobiomodulation on the kidneys: Using an incandescent light or red-light panel

3. Deuterium Depleted Water (DDW) – Gabor Somalyai – Defeating Cancer (Book)

1. Add minerals to the water (a full spectrum sea salt like Celtic)

2. Structure the water with a vortexing or structuring unit (Natural Action)

4. Blue light Blocking Glasses: to be worn whenever looking at screens and after sunset.

5. Sleep + Circadian Rhythms: Aligning daily routines with natural light cycles can optimize circadian signaling, which is crucial for maintaining mitochondrial health. Exposure to natural light during the day and minimizing artificial light at night can enhance mitochondrial efficiency and overall cellular health. This will allow you to sleep and regenerate.

6. Environmental Factors: Minimizing exposure to non-native electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and ensuring a healthy living environment can reduce oxidative stress and improve redox potential, which is essential for mitochondrial health.

Lower Inflammation in your diet and fluids:

To improve the kidney qi, it’s important to lower intake of toxins from food and drink. Remember your kidneys filter all fluids in the body and cannot do this well if the onslaught of proinflammatory stimuli is ongoing.

Inflammatory foods

• Nightshade vegetables:  Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, goji berries, capsicum, chillies.

• Grains: Quinoa, white rice, pasta, wheat (gluten), bread, beer.

• Some Dairy: sweetened yogurt, ice cream, processed cow’s cheese, low fat cow’s milk. Goats milk and cheese is a good substitute.

• Soy: Soy sauce, soy products.

• Processed foods: Anything in a package like cereal, pancakes, premade sauces, 

• Toxins: Aspartame, Monosodium glutamate (MSG), vegetable oils (such as oils used at restaurants), Artificial colours and flavours, soft drinks, kombucha, soy lecithin, fluoride, chlorine, bromine, self-rising flour, baking soda with aluminium.

• Summer Fruits: Mango’s, Pineapples, Bananas, Peaches.

Lower inflammation by eating seafood and a low inflammation diet.

Non-native électromagnétique radiation (nnEMF)

Protect your kidneys, bladder and sexual organs from wireless radiation at all costs. That means no resting your phone on your belly, putting your phone in your pocket or using your laptop on your lap.

Do the best you can at mitigating these effects. With a strong emphasis on

1. No technology in the bedroom
2. No technology within the last hour before bed.

Conclusion
