Why does Healthy Kidney Publishing Want People to Avoid Dialysis

Robert’s “passion” with kidney disease started when he was 22 years old, and was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) from undetermined causes. Over a period of time this lead to kidney failure, dialysis and currently living with a cadaver kidney transplant. He has dealt with every stage and miserable symptom of chronic kidney disease. A transplanted kidney an average last 7 years and doctors told him he would be lucky for that. This was unacceptable to Robert so he became a naturopath (official title for a holistic, alternative medicine doctor) and nutritionist and began his life mission of learning everything about improving kidney disease with natural remedies. For his own sake, and for the sake of the 200 million people worldwide suffering from kidney disease. He has implemented these findings into his personal life surpassing his expectations of having the transplant and living a good quality of life. He also has used these natural remedies for kidney disease clients in his consulting practice for 10 years and now he has written everything down into a 4 pdf guide ebook program, so anyone from around the world can begin helping themselves.

Something that will not surprise our followers is that the body also makes and uses carboxylic acid for similar reasons: to suppress the growth of a multitude of microorganisms from yeast to bacteria.

Humans secrete carboxylic acid through the skin in the form of p-cresol, which is a variation of the surgical phenol. Unfortunately, p-cresol has an unpleasant smell that is associated with underarm odor. Deodorants help with the odor, but also depress the skin’s natural protection by keeping p-cresol and other excretory from being excreted. Regular bathing is the better option, which removes all the excreted toxins and readies the body for whatever comes next.

If too much deodorant is used over time, the body is forced to get rid of the material through the kidneys, which (in the resulting form of p-cresol sulfate) is known to promote chronic kidney disease and make dialysis more likely.

Infection Control for Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) Patients After a Disaster

During hemodialysis, blood passes from the patient's body through a filter in the dialysis machine, called a "dialysis membrane." For this procedure, the patient has a specialized plastic tube placed between an artery and a vein in the arm or leg. Sometimes, a direct connection is made between an artery and a vein in the arm. This procedure is called a "Cimino fistula." Needles are then placed in the graft or fistula, and blood passes to the dialysis machine, through the filter, and back to the patient. In the dialysis machine, a solution on the other side of the filter receives the waste products from the patient.

Peritoneal dialysis uses the patients own body tissues inside of the belly (abdominal cavity) to act as the filter. The intestines lie in the abdominal cavity, the space between the abdominal wall and the spine. A plastic tube called a "dialysis catheter" is placed through the abdominal wall into the abdominal cavity. A special fluid is then flushed into the abdominal cavity and washes around the intestines. The intestinal walls act as a filter between this fluid and the blood stream. By using different types of solutions, waste products and excess water can be removed from the body through this process.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a practical and widespread treatment for kidney failure. Because a soft tube (catheter) is present in the abdominal cavity for this treatment, special care must be taken by PD patients and their medical providers to prevent infection, especially following natural disasters when flooding may be present, access to medical supplies may be limited, or PD patients who may be living in temporary housing.kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com

Some of the most common symptoms of peritonitis are:

• Abdominal pain
• Abdominal tenderness
• Abdominal distention
• Cloudy PD fluid
• Fever
• Nausea and vomiting

There are herbal remedies described in Ayurveda which are very useful in kidney failure.

1. Punarnava Mandur -   This is an ancient ayurvedic formulation which is used together with other herbs like Mutrakrichantak Churna, Rencure Formula and Varunadi Vati to reduce urea and creatinine and avoid dialysis. The results can be seen within a few weeks of using this preparation. It not only helps the kidneys to perform better but also helps to increase the hemoglobin levels naturally. Low hemoglobin is also a problem in renal failure patients.

2. Mutrakrichantak Churna - It is a classical ayurvedic preparation made from various kidney supporting herbs and is effective way to restore the normal function of the kidneys. These herbs work slowly and steadily in a synergistic manner to reduce the creatinine and urea levels. The herbal combination also increases the urine output and reduces the need to use diuretics like Lasix.

3. Rencure Formula  - It is one of the components of Revive kidneys package in which 4 herbal supplements are used together to reduce urea and creatinine levels. The herbal combination works in association with Punarnava mandur and Mutrakrichantak churna to lower down creatinine levels and avoid dialysis.

4. Varunadi Vati - In Hindu mythology, Varun is known as angel of water. It has the powers to control the power of water in this universe. The varun is a tree as well. The latin name is Crataeva nurvala. The tablets made from the bark extract of this tree are called Varunadi vati. In Ayurvedic medicine, the varunadi vati is used for kidney stones, uretheral strictures, urinary tract obstruction, kidney failure, increased urea and creatinine levels and as natural diuretic. This is a rare herbal formulation useful to prevent dialysis.

How to Avoid Dialysis and Treatment

Although people with type 2 diabetes are at greater risk of kidney problems,but still the stage of arriving in kidney failure can be prevented by taking care of sugar levels. If the stage has already come and the patient is in chronic kidney disease phase, then there are certain ayurvedic herbs which should be used along with whatever treatments are going on. It can be even dialysis also.

Controlling diabetes by lowering blood sugar, dieting, exercising, is very important to keep sugar levels in control. Even blood pressure levels should be kept in control in natural ways rather than consuming pills. Pranayam ( Breathing exercises) are the best to keep things in control. Please check video by Dr. Vikram Chauhan on breathing exercies and how to do them and how to avoid dialysis by regularly doing Pranayam.

Symptoms and Signs of Kidney failure

There are specific interventions, such as limiting salt in the diet that can help prevent the progression of kidney disease in people who have the early signs.

Protein in Urine- In uncontrolled chronic diabetes, the most important sign is the leakage of large amount of proteins in the urine.Very large amounts of protein in their urine -a marker of kidney disease, which is evidence of moderately impaired kidney function or difficult-to-control hypertension.

One particular patient, a man in his mid-50s, had all of the above. At 30 ml/min, his glomerular filtration rate, or GFR-a measure of kidney function-suggested he already had moderate to severe damage. He had a large amount of protein in his urine, poorly controlled hypertension, and poorly controlled blood sugar. After using Ayurvedic remedies for about 1 month, things improved dramatically. Similarly there are many other success stories where patients were on regular twice weekly dialysis and their frequency of dialysis reduced to once in fortnight. We consider this also a big achievement. In many cases, the dialysis was avoided all together, after about 6 months to 1 year of treatment.

How One Doctor Helps Diabetes Patients Avoid Kidney Dialysis

Kidney failure is one of the most dreaded diseases. Even when one knows, it is coming, there is not much that one can do. Mainstream treatment normally means dialysis or transplant. Both are expensive and very taxing on the patient. Not to mention the difficulty of finding right donor in time. Economic cost of Dialysis in India would be about Rs 2-3 lakhs per year.

There are specific interventions, such as limiting salt in the diet, that can help prevent the progression of kidney disease in people who have the early signs.

Dr. de Boer often sees type 2 diabetes patients after signs of kidney trouble have surfaced. They may have very large amounts of protein in their urine (a marker of kidney disease), which is evidence of moderately impaired kidney function or difficult-to-control hypertension.

One particular patient, a man in his mid-50s, had all of the above. At 30 ml/min, his glomerular filtration rate, or GFR—a measure of kidney function—suggested he already had moderate to severe damage. He had a large amount of protein in his urine, poorly controlled hypertension, and poorly controlled blood sugar.

"His disease was clearly progressive by his recent history," Dr. de Boer explains. "When he learned that he was heading toward dialysis in the next year or less, that was a bit of a shock to him, and it actually motivated him to make a lot of changes."

There are Five Stages in Which the Kidney Failure is Determined

Stage 1: When the kidney damage is at preliminary stage, the GFR is more than 90 and above. GFR at 90 and above is considered normal but there are chances that one might at the risk of developing CKD if in their family history someone is affected with diabetes or blood pressure.

Stage 2: When your GFR rate 89 or below it, it is an indication that your kidney functions have started declining and a progression of CKD.

Stage 3: When the moderate rate of GFR is reduced from 59 to 30, then the problem related to bone or anemia are common.

Stage 4: Severe reduction of GFR like at the point 29 to 15 is the indication that kidney failure is on the path of reaching the extreme stage. At this stage, where the doctors usually recommend dialysis.

Stage 5: GFR rate is less than 15; it is condition where kidney becomes inefficient in supporting the life system. In most of the case, kidney transplant is the recommended option.

Though it is often considered that kidney transplant or dialysis is only the preferred option for kidney failure but one can avoid kidney transplant or dialysis without any apprehensions if they are opting for Ayurvedic treatment.

Access for Peritoneal Dialysis

Peritoneal dialysis occurs inside your body using your body’s peritoneal membrane as a filter. This membrane is a fine layer of tissue that lines your peritoneal (abdominal) cavity, covering organs such as your stomach, liver, spleen and intestines. It has a fine layer of tissues and a rich blood supply.

Peritoneal dialysis uses a soft tube called a catheter. A surgical operation is required to insert the catheter into the peritoneal cavity. The catheter is about 0.5 cm wide and remains in your body until dialysis is no longer needed. One end of the catheter sticks a few centimetres out of your body, so that it can be connected to a bag containing a special fluid. The catheter allows the fluid to enter and leave your peritoneal cavity.

Waste and extra fluid move from your blood into the special fluid, which is then drained from the body. Each time ‘used’ fluid is replaced by fresh fluid, the cycle is called an ‘exchange’. The number of exchanges needed differs from one person to the next.

Four exchanges are usually done each day. Each exchange includes connecting a new bag of fluid, draining out the old fluid and putting the new fluid in. It takes about 30 minutes and can be done almost anywhere, with a few sensible precautions. In between exchanges, the person is free to go about their daily activities.

Exchanges are typically done on waking, at lunch time, at dinner time and prior to going to bed. Some flexibility is available for busy days. CAPD works by gravity. When the drain bag is placed at floor level the fluid drains out. By raising the new dialysate bag above shoulder level, the new dialysate flows into the peritoneal cavity.
