While surfing the internet, I stumbled upon this little gem of a miracle cure. It discussed naturopathic ways in which nephritis can be cured. Nephritis is inflammation of the kidneys and has a 15/100k mortality rate. In addition, the condition has been steadily on the rise since the 1970's.

This websites recommends home remedies to combat inflammation of the kidneys through the consumption of avocados, coconut milk, and carrot juice with lime concentrate. While these may provide some placebo-type affects, no studies have been performed that connect these remedies with decreased inflammation. Furthermore, nephritis can cause permanent kidney damage that may result in death if not treated correctly. Therefore, if a reader does not read critically about a very serious condition, poor consequences may result. This website is another case-in-point of highly unverified websites disseminating information that may harm readers that do not take it with a grain of salt.
