https://community.qvc.com/t5/Wellness/Dandelion-Root/m-p/245265#M4757 <P>I recently had one kidney removed (Apr.) because of a cancerous growth on top of the kidney that would have eventually grown into the kidney. I was very fortunate that it was diagnosed early so I have not needed chemo or radiation. I do have a problem with swelling in both feet. Prior to the kidney removal my doctor prescribed Furosemide to help with the swelling. Now that I have one kidney he does not want me to continue to take it on a daily basis. Has anyone had any experiences with dandelion root as a diuretic? I don't want to jeopardize my remaining kidney by taking it if I should not. The friend that suggested it thought it would not stress the kidney the same as the Furosemide would but would provide help with the swelling. Thanks.</P> <P>&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden" /&gt;</P> &lt;!--Session data--&gt; <P>&lt;input id="jsProxy" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" type="hidden" /&gt;</P> <DIV id="refHTML"> </DIV> Sat, 25 Aug 2012 22:30:08 GMT ucm_mom 2012-08-25T22:30:08Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Wellness/Dandelion-Root/m-p/245265#M4757 <P>I recently had one kidney removed (Apr.) because of a cancerous growth on top of the kidney that would have eventually grown into the kidney.
