    CKD patients need more guidance on how to best follow a whole plant based diet. We need charts that list each food with its protein content per half a cup portion in order to figure out what foods and how much of it we can put on our plates at each meal in order not to go over the daily limit. We are told to restrict our protein intake to a certain daily amount based on body weight but I have not been able to find a standardized chart that tells me at a glance the protein content for each food so I can plan my meals accordingly. We shouldn’t have to be guessing every time we fix our plates. The same goes for phosphorus, potassium, sodium and fat content. This should be the most basic resource that a CKD patient should have available at the PCP and nephrologist’s office, at the National Kidney Foundation etc. If you know if such a chart exists please let your viewers know, I and most of us would certainly buy it immediately. Thank you.

      Research Dr. SEBI diet. He was a know black herbalist that died in police custody. There is a cure to a lot of these dieases they have put on us. Not telling us the poisions an toxins in the food, soaps and so on. I am stage 4 an not once has my nephrolgisht mentioned this to me. You would think going to school for so long you SHOULD know at least about Alkaline fruits & veggies. Healthy protiens and ect. The meat, their putting unatural hormones & toxins in these things. They don't plan on helping us cure our bodies. God made are bodies perfect. Drs claim there is no cure for AIDS,CANCER, DIABETES, HERPES. Their targeting American people, especially the oppressed. Medical field & Pharmacutical companies are just big cash cows, at our lives & loved ones expenses. ❤🙏🏽#GODHASTHEFINALSAY

      Hi...I am a CKD patient and as yet haven't found a chart either. I have however downloaded the Cronometer App in which you can enter and save the foods you eat and it gives a breakdown of micronutrients that you've had that day. Example I just entered I've had a cup of cooked Kale which is 3 grams of protein. I'm keeping track that way which gives an overview of what I'm putting on my plate each day. The free version is sufficient for that or can pay to upgrade to get more detailed info. I hope that helps ...wishing you well 💜Xx

    Pretty good advice. I changed my diet to total vegan and ended up with high protium and hospitalized. Beans other than green beans were stopped. Then I added back oysters sardines, albacore tuna, calf liver and 93% lean 4 oz hamburger Pattie’s.
    Result: HbA1c 5.4 with no meds for type 2 diabetes. And by using frozen blue berries, Fiji apples baked with Ceylon Cinnamon and fresh salad consisting of ice berg lettuce, red onion, red bell pepper, cucumber, white button mushrooms, red radish with olive oil and vinegar most days, but 2 times a week a cabbage soup consisting of cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, red onion, green beans, peas, white mushroom, red bell pepper in water with turmeric and thyme and fresh cracked black pepper I have a better eGFR. Went from 3 B to 3A. And went from 205 lbs to 130 lbs. walk outside not less than 2 miles but never more than 11 miles. Now that weight is off usually 3 miles a day. Food can be poison to medicine to your body!

      Congrats!! This proves everyone is different. Some people are healthier on higher animal protein and some are healthier on WFPB. There is no one size fits all diet out there. People have to listen to their bodies and test results. Some people are more sensitive to oxalates and some more sensitive to animal protein.

    Through your fasting program, I was able to go from stage four kidney disease to totally healthy kidneys with no kidney disease. I remember my doctor getting goosebumps when she got the report I didn’t even know it was possible I was just trying to heal myself from my diabetes. I lost 100 pounds I pretty much took a hard line with my diet. I basically eat protein with vegetables and a few fruits I’ve cut out potatoes, rice, bread, pasta, sugar I don’t drink calories I’m satisfied with my diet I don’t feel deprived. I do make keto sweets like mug cakes I’m 65 years. and still losing weight slowly my A1c went from a 10.5 to a six and I expect it to be lower at my next doctor visit. I saw my Doctor again and my A1C is now 5.4. I fast when I feel like it on and off. And I eat meat and low carb vegetables, nuts and keto cookies, candies and love mug cakes with wipe cream sugar free of course. I’ve cut out sugar, flour, bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, I eat beans very little. I love roasted vegetables. I eat less and less meat as I’m losing my taste for it as I get older. I love keto recipes although I’m not on a keto diet. When I fast I eat at about 2:00 in the afternoon and not after 4:00. But I don’t fast all the time I go on and off. Daily exercise is extremely important. Also anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. Praying to God for direction was key in my success.

      That's a lot more to do w kidney stones . Yes,that is included in kidney disease. You just have to avoid those foods that are high in oxalate ,then !! Lol I am very prone to kidney stones ,I love tea & chocolates & nuts !! But, I drink water w squeezed organic lemon juice every morning !! That takes care of it ,too if you didn't know . Of course, nothing is perfect. But, you can prevent that issue that way !!
      The most enemy to kidneys is phosphorus. That deteriorates kidneys !! Especially, animal sources. This is why plant based ,vegan diet are considered as the best diets for chronic kidney failures. Many nephrologists are recommending vegan diets ,including UCLA nephrologists.

    I reversed kidney disease in my 12 year old schnauzer. Vet was shocked and told me my dog now has the blood panel of a puppy! Glory to God, my baby and I have much more time together!
    Edit: 8/24
    As a dog rescuer, and an herbalist the dogs we rescue typically have health issues and i treat them with diet and herbs. I immediately feed my foundational diet of 20% raw meat with ground bones, 10% raw Green Tripe, 10% raw organic eggs, 60% steamed veggies, alpha Lipoic acid, salmon oil and vitamin d3/k2 and magnesium. CKD dogs get cruciferous veggies, especially bok choy because it is the most potent detoxifying veggie. * Cruciferous veggies are not good for a dog with Lupus or thyroid issues. Commercial dog food is NEVER fed to my rescued fur babies. I utilize herbs to meet their individual needs. As far as Roccos diet for CKD, I began with this same foundational raw diet, customized with herbs and suppliments. There is much more to it, but all CKD treatment is different. There is no one size fits all treatment for CKD. I work from individual bloodwork in order to suppliment what is missing and remove what is too high in the blood. Phosphorus is typically too high...when this is the case, I feed low phosphorus veggies such as bok choy, carrots, green beans, cabbage, arugula, astragulus. I add required customized supplements and elements, and 4 Tbl lemon juice per 10 cup batch. i add *Epikin to Roccos food. Epikin is a phosphorus binder.
    This is Roccos diet. Because no two cases are the same...customizing herbs and supplements should be done by a professional. I highly recommend seeing a functional medicine vet for guidelines in individual treatments for your dog. What healed Rocco could in fact harm your dog. Again, see a functional med vet.
    Hopefully, this edit does not get deleted like all the others, but probably will, because I promote a RAW MEAT diet for my dogs. This video promotes PLANT BASED diet.

      @@IgnacioRuiz-tb2nh Sorry. I can not help your dog.
      Every dog. Every case is different. With kidney disease there is no one size fits all.
      Rocco's diet is in direct response to HIS blood panel. His needs are specific to him. To best help your dog, you will need to base it off YOUR dog's blood panel. Kidney disease is a tough one as it affects all the organs. I strongly recommend working with a homeopathic veterinarian to come up with a specific plan for your dog.
      Example: Rocco's diet saved him, however it could be very harmful to a dog whose blood panel is different than Roccos'. So you see, one size does not fit all.
      I can share his basic diet. However, Rocco receives much more in herbs and nutrients specifically for him.
      STOPPED ALL COMMERCIAL KIBBLE, it's a slow toxin paving the way to disease and early death
      I bought a meat grinder to make homemade RAW food. I ground veggies first then chicken leg quarters with bone.
      ROCCO= 20 lbs.
      RATIO: 20% meat 80% Veggies.
      *RAW Blend= meat and veggies
      **NO ORGAN MEAT!!!!
      AS Per one cup serving of RAW BLEND, ADD:
      Raw beef Green tripe- 1 Tbl
      Veggies list is specific for KIDNEY health-
      (These veggies are harmful to dogs with Lupus) again...consult a homeopathic vet.

      Carrots
      Medicinal additives to address organ health;
      Activated charcoal- filters kidneys 1 tsp
      Vit D3/K2 with magnesium-4 drops (500 iu)
      Colostrum-. 1/8 tsp
      Alpha Lipoic Acid- sprinkles
      Moringa Oleifera 1 tsp
      Salmon oil- One pump squirter
      Ashwaganda 1 tsp
      Coconut oil- 1 tsp
      Fresh lemon juice- 1 tsp
      Parsley- 1 tsp
      Pink salt- one shake (light sprinkle)
      1/2 cup filtered water.
      (Soupy consistency)
      ***
      Rocco had low potassium, so at noon, away from meals, I give him one thin slice of honey Dew melon, because it is high in potassium.
      I give fruit 2 hours away from any meat to prevent digestive woes. Fruit and meat do not sit well in the stomach together due to their differing digestion rates.
      SNACK- one Brazil nut (selenium) daily
      ***No jerky, or any commercial treats or chews!! No!!!...not a single product sold commercially. Poor ingredients, inert ingredients, high heat processing and preservatives were enough for me to run far away from commercial dog food and treats.
      This is all my opinion, I AM NOT A DOCTOR. I have shared what I did for my dog.

    So Doc, I've been diagnosed with Stage 3 Kidney Disease just a few weeks ago. I'm 53 and don't have sugar problems or Diabetes. I have never smoked and don't drink alcohol. I've worked out for the last 30 years but have always had High Blood Pressure. Like around 154/94 was about the average know idea why, ( my dad had high blood pressure but I check that off too being a workaholic in a factory and 2 packs of cigs a day). But I felt okay I just needed to take a few extra minutes in-between sets in the gym. I had know idea the high blood pressure could cause damage to other organs. Well ignoring my High blood pressure for so many years has given me stage 3 Kidney Disease. I'm on two blood pressure meds now as of about 3 months and my average blood pressure is around 127/84. Anyway I'm thinking about going no meat and just getting my protein from Protein Shakes everyday. So are protein shakes just as bad as meat products? I really don't want to cut my protein too much if I don't have too, I'd hate to loose the muscle I've worked so hard to get. I'm about 214 pounds with alot of muscle. Do you think that would be a good plan or do I need to come up with something else?

    You are right about every patient being different. I went vegan and got very sick due to the high oxylate levels so changed to low oxylate ( high oxylate foods include spinach, sweet potato, some nuts and beans etc) vegan and got even sicker due to the high sulfur levels ( high sulfur veg include onions, garlic, pineapple, cruciferous veg, papaya etc), of low oxylate veg and fruit. I also lost muscle mass. I’ve since modified adding back in chicken, but I struggle to eat really healthy because I need to watch the amount of veg and fruits I can eat and also don’t want to overload with carbs as glucose levels started going up. It’s a real juggling of food choices. I write this only because some people may feel very ill on vegan. If you do, look in to oxylate and or sulfur intolerances especially if you get stomach aches, rashes and hot flashes when eating. Histamines could also be a culprit.

    If I ate an all plant based diet my body would be wracked with severe kidney stones, alot of vegetables particularly beets a cauliflower and also nuts are very high in oxalates .
    Yes too much meat is bad but some fish like sardines are very healthy , especially in reducing dementia.
    So AGAIN please talk about OXALATES, because alot of plants are culprits.

    Lets also talk about supplementation depending on what diet you adopt due to deficiencies that can occur making kidneys worse...example ...magnesium is imortant for kidneys...vitamin D also...vitamin D and magnesium should always be taken together...proper calcium...your B's... A and K a proper levels....cholesterol which goes down another rabbit hole...and you still have to make sure potassium levels are healthy not too low....they put emphasis on thebscary things but not enough or any on the good things....i feel like as great as grapefruit is for kidneys alot of us on amlodipine..felodipine ..etc...will have bad interactions...i want to talk with my doctor about getting off felodipine and maybe figure something else out so i can have my grape fruit....
    Also organic grass fed, pasture raised, wildcaught meats...halal as possible....alkaline.....he touched on some...but we need OUR docs tontalk to us more about these things...please look into magnesium...iodoine...vitamin D... at least for starters

Eat fish, chicken, tuna, nuts. But for the last 30 years I have taken Celabrex, taken Tylenol every day, and other stuff for pain, have been very overweight at times, lost 120 pounds… sugar has been a problem… I just recently had bad blood and urine tests, I think the kidney disease has been caused by medications, sugar and salt.

    I was going to criticize this video by declaring you cannot reverse kidney disease with diet.

I converted to a vegan diet and know the data suggests many benefits for CKD and health in general, but there are certainly some downsides to it as well.

I watched a bit of this video and turned it off as it’s one if those medical ones that is about treatment and improvement, but never about healing.
