    My edema started May 2023 during my mom's wake (died of colon cancer), when I returned 2 plant/animal based foods, lack of sleep for almost 6mos, stressed of misunderstandings w/ sibs & aunts, ignored the on/off swelling, for we thought it was just bcoz of tiring days & nights. Few months later, while I'm more on animal based foods, salty, oily foods, holding pee (sometimes), I had blurry vision, weakness, difficulty in breathing, dizziness, nausea, & the swelling never goes away...been to 2 docs last April-May 2024, had cholesterol (higher than with those who have high blood), UTI, +3 protein but 1 doc told my kidneys were still okay 😂. Took meds, but experienced bloating for more than 3 days, cannot sleep, itchy skin, thirsty, dry throat, etc..feels like it was the end of my life. Last May 2024, been to endocrinologist then to nephro & diagnosed w/ nephrotic syndrome & told to undergo kidney biopsy (no money yet for it). June 2024, I stopped taking meds for cholesterol & protein leaking. I tried oatmeal esp at dinner, no salt, no meat, even fish I limit, more on fruits & veggies esp apple, pineapple, soursop, drink boiled herbal leaves. Thanks God, quite ok now less pain on sweeling feet

    First, I am fighting obesity myself so i get it. I was excited to hear how one lady followed your plant based recommendations and she lost weight and fixed her kidneys. I was going to buy your book, until i saw your having such a weight gain (not an insult, just an observation). Do you follow your own advice or does the advice not work? Sorry, but your not looking so good there. It's discouraging.

      I saw a video from a Filipino doctor Doc Willie Ong internist, cardiologist who said that some kidney dialysis patients he knows or those with kidney diseases went back to normal because of healthy lifestyle (plant based foods) and other healthy lifestyle practices. Nothing is impossible with God and still thankful that my kidney disease (unknown yet), not too late to save my kidneys. Though swelling is still there but not that heavy compared to last months 🙏

    I WANT TO SHARE MY CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE STORY. I WAS TOLD IN JUNE OF 2024 THAT MY KIDNEY FUNCTION WAS 41 STAGE 3B AND PROTEINURIA OF 1.4. IT SCARED ME GREATLY. AFTER COMING ACROSS YOUR VIDEO I DECIDED TO IMMEDIATELY TRY A LOW SODIUM DIET ALSO I DRINK TEAS SUCH AS HIBISCUS MORINGA GREEN DANDELION AND TUMERIC. ALSO WITH MY TEAS I ADD APPLE CIDAR VINEGAR AND LEMON JUICE. I ALSO TAKE L CARNITINE AND ADVANCED BERBERINA TABLETS DAILY. ONE MORE THING I DID WHEN I STARTED THIS JOURNEY I THREW AWAY MY SALT BOX AND I DID NOT USE ANY SUGAR. NOW IT HAS BEEN ONE MONTH AND HALF I HAD RECEIVED NEW LABS. MY EGFR NOW IS 51 AND MY PROTEIN IS 1.2. I FEEL SOOO MUCH BETTER SINCE STARTING THIS JOURNEY FOR IMPROVING MY KIDNEY FUNCTION. THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR STORY. I AM LOVING HOW I AM FEELING AND MY KIDNEY FUNCTIONING INCREASING ONE MORE THING MY WEIGHT WHEN I STARTED WAS 203 NOW MY WEIGHT IS 191. PRAYER AND ACTION IT WORKS. 😊🎉❤

      @DADVICETV 7 днів тому

      I recommend people ask their dietitian if your kidney function is low (close to stage 4), along with staying active, eating a heart healthy diet, managing your blood,pressure, and reducing protein in your urine. It isn’t cheap, so I wouldn’t recommend it for those with Stage 3a or better. Always check with your doctor first to see what they think so you are not throwing away money.

    Good points... But the more important things above all are 1) Control Your blood sugar 2) Control your high blood pressure before its too late. If you do not control High Bp and High blood sugar in your 30s and 40s your gonna end up in Dialysis clinic. I am a Nephrology nurse and trust me there is no going back once youre in it, until you get your new kidney.

    They only thing i don't agree with is the naive advice to trust your local doctor for anything. Ever since obamacare, going to the doctor for anything has become useless. It's just a big scam. Most doctors have no clue what they're doing and don't care at all about helping you. They just do nothing and then charge you 5k. Instead of trusting doctors, get on UA-cam and do your research. I'm a huge fan of intermittent fasting and keto dieting. Self taught and seeing great results. No doctor needed.
