I have recently scheduled a televideo doctor's appointment (upcoming on 8/29) for a "wellness check", because I know my own declining kidneys have taken rapid a turn for the worse. I chose the televideo option because of Honor Health's mask mandate (in AZ). It has been perhaps a month since I joined Allan Stevo's purebloods group, pledging to be - and remain - un-jabbed and maskless in spite of the CoVid-19 mandates. I will at some point have to try to win as you did, if I need a kidney transplant and if they also allow a kidney transplant for someone who is age 77. I very much suppose transplant recipients may afterwards need to be on an immune system suppressant in order to avoid possible tissue rejection. That, when coupled with the immune system damage afforded to some people from the jab, could itself be very problematic, so doctors would be creating MORE risk by insisting on a jab. Was that a point made in your arguments to them? Grace, thank you so much for letting us know about your most virtuous WIN and about Israeli studies!!!
Norman, I am sorry to learn of your kidney issues. Depending on your situation, of course, if you can drink several liters of water a day you will be aiding your kidneys. Run this by your doc, preferably a nephrologist. Yes, immunosupressants are a must. Without them the body rejects the transplant. I am being discharged in a few hours. Once I gather my thoughts I will be glad to share and document my approach more fully. Perhaps my experience will be of value to others and I would have the honor of helping in this battle. Thanks for reaching out, Norman.
And I thank you, again. I will be paying a lot of attention to appropriately increasing drinking water and try to maintain good electrolyte balance. I'm also doing more with intermittent fasting time-restricted fasting and trying to not eat a lot of foods rich in lectins and oxalates. Surely, I need to learn more and also will need to experimentally make adjustments. I suppose your nephrologist will have dietary suggestions that you then will research and try. I know some foods, notoriously grapefruit, can affect how drugs are metabolized, either boosting or depressing their effects, so that is another worry for me. I am on no prescribed or over-the-counter drugs, and consider supplements to be safer, but even those may have interactions with each other that I don't yet know about, and there are individual differences in our metabolisms, too. I bet most nephrologists will pooh-pooh supplements and warn against them, so learning what is the right course will always be our individual responsibility. I know I am being overly outspoken here, but in the environment of mass censorship I feel the need to combat it. If you do share and document your approach, I am sure many people will much appreciate your doing so. It just occurred to me there might be multiple places online where many kidney patients share their experiences, to some benefit. I am grateful for your sharings of your experience, as I am to others who have replied..
Norman, I have lots to share. I will need a few days as I just got home last evening and am experiencing the side effects of being on prednisone. When I am not wanting to eat peanut butter, I am giving thanks for the gift of life or wanting to cry. Rest assuredly, will be glad to share once my mind is more settled. Peace, my friend.
I, too, would love to know the research you used to avoid getting vaccinated. I have a son, who will one day likely need a kidney transplant. Praying this nonsense ends long before that time OR that his kidneys hang in there and he doesn’t ever need a transplant.
Hi Carol. I posted an outline on here several months ago, written as a response to that request. Everything I wrote is "old news" now, meaning that the data on the inefficacy and dangers of the shots are established with hard data worldwide. I was also extensively interviewed about my life, education level, etc. So, I guess I proved my "rationality" and because I stuck to the facts and hammered home the insanity of the logic being pushed by media and medicine, it was hard to deny that I had a legitimate concern. I do not have a science background, but I understood enough to stand my ground and I just didn't budge. Honestly, I think I understood more than perhaps they did. I did have one doctor a month or two later mention that the jabs were "bioweapons", a term I did not use, which tells me he did a deep dive. I suspect that he may have sparked others to research and arrive at an understanding of what is going on. I hope this explanation is of value to you. Best wishes.
Thanks, Grace. I surely did not want to be causing any distress. Stress can cause depletion of Vit. B1, and that depletion makes stress harder to take. A bad Vit B1 deficiency leads to Pellagra, if I remember correctly, with some symptoms like some of those for a coronavirus. Peanut butter - or just peanuts - can be inflammatory, as it supposedly has too much Omega-6 fatty acid in it. Walnuts are better, as they have the anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fatty acid. But I don't know if there is some other reason for people with your kind of surgery being restricted from eating either one. I cannot pretend to expertise with this stuff - I am just a follower that tries to help with what little I think I know. My wife and I would be considered health nuts, but in the long run I am still just hoping for the best.
Hi Norman. My apologies for taking so long to respond. I've hd a lot going on. I think peanutbutter is popular in the hospital setting because a small amount it is satiating. I was never restricted from consuming peanut butter, nor am I now. It is not something I normally reach for. But, when taking large doses of prednisone, peanut butter was hugely helpful in staving off hunger between meals. Gosh, I had never been so hungry!
You mentioned in one of your posts about intermittent fasting. I posted briefly on that today. Yes, it is a great solution for weight loss and weight maintenance. I was glad to have experienced it prior to renal failure because one's desire for food goes out the door when you are at the end point and in the early weeks of adjusting to dialysis. I could only handle about 500-600 calories a day for a couple of months.
Using a food journal, such as the one I mentioned in my post, called Cronometer, was really valuable because it helped me to monitor vitamin and mineral intake, such as phosphorus and potassium. Too much or too little can be problematic when in kidney failure. It sounds like you have an excellent grasp of this knowledge already.
As far as supplements are concerned, I do take Vitamins C, D, a multivitamin and zinc. I take these prophalactically as well as povidone iodine nasal spray and throat gargle, to avoid colds, etc. There should be no problem taking supplements as long as you go over these with a transplant pharmacist. They will know of any interactions with immunosuppressants. For example, I had been taking Quercetin, but I can no longer do so. This served as an ionophore for zinc (helped get zinc into the cells.) The replacement solution was to tale zinc with Vitamin C and to avoid milk poducts for two hours after taking the zinc/Vitamin C combo. I was already taking Vitamin C. I just changed the time I take it (and zinc) to night time, thereby avoiding the milk product consumption issue. Cheers!!!
I have seen chronic kidney disease stabilised and sometimes reversed by the use of the herb parieta diffusa.
There are many herbal medicines that can help you.
If you were my loved one i would recommend you seek help from a medical herbalist or naturopath asap, because there are things that can be done to help.

A belated thank you to you, Mrs S. - I have been away from this web page...
