>> Marjory: Hello everyone this is Marjory Wildcraft,
and today I really have the pleasure of being with Renee Ainlay.
Renee has an incredible story where she really has discovered, and lived, and healed herself
through the basic principle that food is medicine.
Renee you want to tell them a little bit?
You had, the main thing was kidney stones, and you have, your kidney does it differently
from the rest of us.
>> Renee: Right,
in 1992 I was diagnosed with Medullary Sponge Kidney disease with stones,
and what that means is that when I form my stones in my kidneys, they would form on the
opposite side as everyone else,
so passing them was very difficult for me.
>> Marjory: So your stones are on the front of the kidney versus everyone else who produces
them on the back.
>> Renee: Yeah.
Where you could, you know, for most people, they'd be big but they'd be able to pass through.
Mine couldn't because there was that tissue that it had to pass through and it couldn't.
They would had to get broken up by a laser treatment, what do you call it?
>> Marjory: Ultrasound?
>> Renee: Yeah, ultrasound.
>> Marjory: And if you hadn't had that ultrasound treatment eventually your whole kidney would
have turned to stone?
>> Renee: Right, yeah.
>> Marjory: And because of the kidney problems you started getting into the medical system,
and you were on all kinds of medication.
Then you started having other complications,
and you were losing strength, losing physical ability, getting further, and further, and
further into a hole of illness.
I mean at one point you were on how many medications?
You were doing liver medications.
>> Renee: Yeah, I was on liver medications, heart medications, blood pressure medications,
anti-seizure medications, kidney medications.
>> Marjory: Uh huh
>> Renee: Antibiotics, steroids. Oh my gosh, so many.
>> Marjory: And then the meningitis.
>> Renee: Yup, then I contracted meningitis in 2005.
>> Marjory: Wow.
And that was really the point at which you started to say, look this isn't working.
I've got to find some other alternatives.
I've got to do something different.
You know, clearly the medical system isn't working for me.
>> Renee: Right.
>> Marjory: And you started, I believe it was Dr. Mercola and Aajonus and some of these
other medical health people that have alternatives, and also promote food as medicine.
>> Renee: Right.
>> Marjory: There was one key thing that really helped you, and with all the things you had
going on, but the one thing that really helped you to dissolve those kidney stones was a
very simple food.
>> Renee: Yup. Coconut cream. (laughs)
>> Marjory: Coconut cream! I know but we talk about like ....
>> Renee: Coconut cream.
>> Marjory: You know.
We usually think of food as medicine as,
"You're going to make me eat something awful right?"
And you're like, coconut cream! (laughing)
>> Renee: Yeah it's wonderful.
>> Marjory: It's wonderful.
And that, it's really, tell me a little bit about how that works.
>> Renee: Well, coconut cream is made from a whole coconuts, and we take the coconut
meat out and press it, and that's where you get the coconut cream.
And when you eat it, it helps to dissolve kidney stones. It dissolves calcium, it dissolves
plaque in arteries.
It does so many wonderful things, but that's what helped to dissolve my kidney stones.
It makes them really soft, if not dissolve them completely.
>> Marjory: Wow.
So now you don't have, I mean if they took an X-ray of you now there'd be no.
>> Renee: No.
>> Marjory: No stones in there.
And you're obviously vibrant and moving around, and I understand you've lost an incredible
amount of weight?
>> Renee: Yes.
Yes, I think about sixty pounds.
>> Marjory: Wow.
>> Renee: Yeah.
>> Marjory: From changing your diet, and because you're moving you're also getting a little
more exercise.
And Renee has been so passionate about the healing powers of the coconut cream, and the
ability of the coconut to really clean the body as a detoxifier, that it was so obviously
so beneficial in your life that you've gone ahead and created a company where,
and this is a very specialized process.
This is not even, it's cooked, it's raw, organic.
>> Renee: Yes.
Yep, raw organic coconut cream.
>> Marjory: And the name of the company is?
>> Renee: Original Living Coconut.
>> Marjory: Original Living Coconut.
