Can garlic consumption affect kidneys or any other internal organs?

Garlic is good for you, good for the organs, cleanses the blood.  It is notoriously good for the kidneys.2 or 3 cloves a day is a lot and moves a lot of toxins every day.  Drinking a sufficient amount of water helps move those toxins out of your system more efficiently.

long term damage can come from a diet of too much of these things. The caffeine and sugars or diet sweeteners are hard on kidneys and the salt (sodium) in large quantities will also effect the kidney function. If you drink at least 8 glasses of water a day you would avoid damage even if you ate a lot of chips and sodas as the water will continually flush the toxins from your kidneys and not allow any to buildup.

I know in some people black pepper causes kidney stones. Others say black pepper is good for you. Helps "clean" you out.

Health effects\nSodium is one of the primary electrolytes in the body. Too much or too little salt in the diet can lead to an electrolyte disturbance, which can cause severe, even fatal neurological problems. Excessive consumption of sodium has also been linked to high blood pressure, although it seems likely that the degree of this effect varies greatly depending on the individual. The Salt Manufacturers' Association (U.K.) claims that there is no evidence of a causal link between salt intake and mortality or cardiovascular events. [1] [2]\n\nA high salt diet has been linked to exercise-induced asthma [3] and a reduction of bone density in girls [4]. On the other hand, salt is used as a health aid as well, such as in treatment for dysautonomia [5].\n\nSalt may contribute to obesity [6].\n\nSalt substitutes (with a taste similar to regular table salt) are available for individuals who wish to restrict their sodium intake. These substitutes contain mostly potassium chloride, which will increase potassium intake. Because excess potassium intake can cause potentially fatal hyperkalemia, it is advisable to check with one's physician and pharmacist before using salt substitutes. Various diseases and medications may decrease the body's excretion of potassium, thereby increasing the risk of hyperkalemia.\n\nTable salt\n \nSingle-serving salt packetsTable salt is refined salt, containing nearly pure (95% or greater) sodium chloride. It usually contains substances that make it free flowing (anticaking agents). It is common practice to put a few grains of uncooked rice in salt shakers to absorb extra moisture when anticaking agents are not enough. Table salt is also often iodised—a small amount of potassium iodide is added as a dietary supplement. Table salt is mainly employed in cooking and as a table condiment. Iodised table salt has essentially eliminated disorders of iodine deficiency in countries where it is used. Iodine is important to prevent the insufficient production of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism), which can cause goitre, cretinism in children, and myxedema in adults.\n\nTable salt is now used all over the world.

It depends on where in the kidney it is, and what it is made of.  It can lead to high blood pressure and poor renal function, which can lead to other complications.  This question should be posed to a doctor who has all your history and physical in front of him.

"The liver and kidneys work together as the body’s detoxification system, removing toxins that result from environmental pollutants, poor diet, stress, alcohol and tobacco consumption, coffee and tea, medications, etc. However, these organs can only function optimally when they are clean and provided with certain nutrients.  When toxins build up in the system, the liver and kidneys are unable to function optimally and the body begins to store toxins in the tissues.  As the toxins build up, common symptoms occur, such as fatigue, headaches, irritability, insomnia, depression, poor digestion, bad breath, allergies, skin problems, and over time may even lead to chronic illnesses like cancer, arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease."\n\nInfo quoted from http://newbetteryou.com

how about dropping all salt intake??  avoid all salty foods.\nif symptoms persist, asked your doc about other higher end anti-biotics.\n\nTIP: AS MUCH AS POSIBLE, AVOID TETRACYCLINE DERIVED ANTIBIOTICS.  THEY CAN CAUSE RENAL DAMAGE. (NEPHROTOXIC)\nI SUGGEST YOU GO FOR A SECOND OPINION. \n\nJOMAR S.T. NDGM '96

Theonly possible effect it could have is on urinary tract infections. The human body itself mainatains a constant salt balance regardless of dietary salt intake.

Garlic is very good for you, so yeah, it's more than okay. \n\nWhen I cook with it, I saute in a bit of olive oil making it soft, not for a long time either, if we overcook it, it loses it's health properties, so just slightly is best.  \n\nIt's super good with lots of recipes. Years ago, I would eat the bulbs raw, but it's much better cooked with pasta or food. Just tastes better.\n\nI use Kyolic odorless capsules on a daily basis.\n\nGarlic protects our tissues, has antioxidant properties which protect us from free radicals, lowers total serum cholesterol along with lowering our LDL (bad cholesterol) and increases our good cholesterol (HDL). \n\nIt increases our circulation, is good for our heart, the list goes on and on. As you can see, yes, Garlic is very good for a person, so nothing bad can come from eating it.\n\nI would have your friend ease up a bit, it will start to eventually come out of her pores and she will smell. Capsules are much better over all.

hmm... try a change of diet... do you eat alot of garlic?\n\nI'm not sure of course, just a guess, but it can't hurt to examine what you put into your body.
