I turned my stage III kidney failure around with a plant based diet. In fact, on a plant based diet I just lost over 100 lbs, cured CVD, stage III kidney failure, all 5 symptoms of metabolic disorder, peripheral neuropathy, and I cured diabetic retinopathy! I can see again and have an FAA waiver to fly my plane! It was once believed that every one of those chronic diseases were incurable. Let plants be thy medicine!!! 😁
@@gb7168 Going on year 7. Nothing in life is certain but eating a health tailored diet and moving goes a long way to better health. 😁
I did the same thing. I was already very thin and exercised all the time. But having Ankylosing Spondylitis blocked all my arteries, and placed my kidneys in stage 3, and even 4 for a while. My diet was already quite good, and didn't really eat that many animal products. But it wasn't enough to counter the effects of my autoimmune disease. It also just kept fusing more and more vertebrae together. I then removed all animal products except eggs and fat free yogurt. That was still not enough to correct everything. Then I went full blown vegan, eating beans, greens, flaxseeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, turmeric, garlic, meals built around veggies, and very low salt. In just under 3 months, my kidneys were back to normal, and all lab work was nearly perfect (when I struggled with several readings). I had taken beta blockers for 6 years, and stopped taking it after 4 months. It took a very strict diet for me, very low inflammatory, and very low in salt to achieve this -- but I was still pleasantly surprised! I hasn't unblocked my arteries, but what has done is correct endothelial dysfunction. Eggs and yogurt daily was enough to thwart most of my diet efforts due to TMAO. I am still hoping it can heal my
enthesitis in my achilles tendon, and tendons in both elbows. It's been 9 months total on this strict diet, so perhaps I will have success in the near future!
@@gb7168 Thanks for the input! Yes, I don't consume any oils or sugars, at least most of the time. For the first 6 months, I was perfect! Then I added Uncle Sam Cereal until I couldn't find it anymore, as a treat. I miss cold cereal, but can't really find any that are super low in sugar and salt! It is so sad just how unhealthy all the packaged food is!
Do you have soy or almond milk? Green Tea? Hibiscus Tea? If you are a fan of Greger, as I am, then you probably follow a similar structured diet. I learned most of what I follow from him! Do you have AS? Crohns? I am so happy to hear you have had success as well! Thanks again!!
@@bundletesla5882 Very impressive, good luck. I think have an autoimmune disorder makes healing even more complicated! You are kicking butt! Keep fighting & keep winning! 😁
@@luckyhanger1326 Thanks so much luckyhanger! You also kicked butt on your autoimmune disease. I agree with you that having an autoimmune disease does indeed complicate things -- a lot!! I appreciate your kind words more than you know!!! Thanks again!
Thank you Dr. Greger. My father has CKD and I'm so worried about him. I want him to be around for a long time. I'm going to send this to him
I may not be having the best diet, but I am choosing vegetarian and vegan options at the pub. I feel healthier now that I'm not eating meat all the time
So incredible! Is there anything plants can't do ;) thank you so much
Thank you for the ongoing education, Doc! My protein sources, based on your recommendations, are various versions of the legume group (black beans, chick peas, kidney beans, tofu, red lentils, yellow lentils, etc.), which I have three times a day. Great in terms of dietary fiber. My microbiome and my kidneys thank you many times over. Much love. 😊👍💚🙏
What type of black beans though? Unsalted? How would you make them?
@@spreadlove7761 Indeed. No salt added canned black beans. It's convenient, and I simply add them to a bunch of vegetables in a bowl, and microwave it, and then toss some balsamic vinegar and spices on top of it. I do add a tiny amount of iodized salt for iodine and taste.
@@ethicalphytophage has it affected your kidneys in anyway? Negatively? Or did you eat the beans in moderation? Not too much? Sorry for all of the questions lol
@@ethicalphytophage do you have a specific brand of black beans you use that’s healthy?
@@spreadlove7761 No worries on the Qs. To be honest, I don't know. I feel healthy and I have no health issues, and I don't go around measuring or testing my kidneys. I don't have any kidney or other health complaints and have lots of energy and walk many miles a day. I eat a whole can of beans in a couple of days, generally.
Thank you for this important video! Im 23 Y/o and have Minimal Change for a few years and did not respond to the drugs and lose a lot of proetein. For a long time I have believed that diet can be the key. This video has reinforced my thinking! Thank you!
It never ceases to amaze me how diet can effect your health in a negative or positive manner and how long term it takes for your health to unknowingly decline.....so, its scary how even if you aren't obese you could still be eating yourself to death..... : (
This happened with my son‘s nephrotic syndrome. Once we removed dairy it has not returned.
My twin sister had this when she was in her teens. It went away when she got older. She is now vegetarian (eating no eggs or cheese) but it went away years before she starting vegetarianism. Became vegetarian in her late 30s.
It’s interesting that the animals we usually consume are mainly plant based themselves. 🤔
Great video
Minimal Change Disease is related to Nephrotic Syndrome and is not in the category of Chronic Kidney Diseases. Nephrotic Syndrome is an autoimmune disease, while CKD is not. NS is controlled by taking steroids, while CKD is not responsive to steroid treatments.
We were able to reverse my sons nephrotic syndrome by taking out dairy. Steroids is not the only option.
@@monicadelarosa7712 May I ask if he had Minimum change disease or IgA Nephropathy? IgA Nephropathy is the one involved with the gut bacteria and hence diary consumption. Thanks in advance.
@@thanhdang2546 he had minimal change disease. We didn’t go full vegan but getting rid of dairy was enough to reverse it.
@@monicadelarosa7712 I was a vegan for four years and still got it last year. I believe that the cause was either the covid vaccine or I took too many supplements. I was 63 last year.
@@monicadelarosa7712 I’m 33 and been on a vegan and carnivore diet at this point I’m super lost what did your son do to get rid of it ?
What about tomatoes and citrus fruits? They are acid, are they not? I eat a lot of canned tomatoes with pasta.
Extraordinary.
Is there any way I can get a copy of How Not To Die Book in Spanish
I tried looking for it through the links on the website and was not able to order a copy...
Thank You
High blood pressure from clogged arteries (arteriosclerosis) is to blame for kidney disease. Clogged arteries are occurring because of the buildup of animal protei and fat from animal products accumulating in the arteries. Medications for high blood pressure are also kidney destroyers. I’m 62. A close relative of mine recently had a kidney transplant after 30+ years of taking high blood pressure medication from about age 40.
Wow, so how do you regulate your high blood pressure?
Just a plant based ?
Does this include milk too?
Definitely! Cutting ALL animal intake is crucial to maximum health!
@@thisperfectworld "A dietary pattern preferring dairy products was associated with increased survival in Tokyo-area centenarians." 2003 article title: Dietary patterns and further survival in Japanese centenarians.
@@beepbeepnj2658 That science is to be questioned. Need randomized, controlled studies and peer reviewed.
💕
I've seen so many studies and it still remains ignored... Arugula, Arugula Seeds & Arugula Oil... Always a win.
A question about vegan meat free products are they all healthy
That is an awesome story
I am now drug free normal lab values across the board. Hade acute TN and glomerular disease. Battled with intermittent edema for yrs. Got off gluten altogether and eat 100% plant based BUT until I began kelp and dulce daily and stopped ALL ( motorns ) artificially iodized salt I could not win the creeping off and on edema. Now for nearly a year, no edema AND I can enjoy non commercial Italian bread as well . Someone needs to study artificial iodized salt... I cant find anything anywhere. We should be getting iodine from sea vegetables.
A winner and a swimmer.
WHEN I GO PLANT BASED MY GOUT KEEPS COMING BACK. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG. I WANNA GET HEALTHY AND SAVE OUR ANIMALS.
I'M 77 YRS. YOUNG.
Eliminate alcohol consumption, especially beer, if you do consume alcohol. Coffee (without milk or sugar) is a good thing to have in you diet if you have a tendency to get gout. You should also avoid sweetened drinks. Drink plenty of water. Look at low purine diet guidelines. Make sure you aren't eating foods that have niacin (B3) or vitamin A added. Many vegan products add vitamins, so read the labels.
Also, in general, there are unhealthy plant based diets, and very healthy plant based diets - try to land on the better end of that spectrum. A healthy plant based diet tends to improve blood pressure, and all sorts of blood markers. Abdominal fat, high blood pressure, high blood triglyceride levels and too high cholesterol levels are associated with a higher chance of getting gout.
Stop eating salt and salty food! How sodium intake didn't get even a mention in this CKD excerpt is wild; in case somebody with CKD watches this and thinks eating vegan without also axing their salt is going to have a chance of fixing things. Dr. Greger's other vids on CKD make clear the evidence supports low and no salt vegan diets are best for kidneys!
It mentions that dietary acid is bad for kidneys. So, should we stop drinking so many vinegar drinks?
This is a good question. Is the acid in vinegar harmful to kidneys?
Research shows it digests as ALKALINE, though it goes in as acid. Maybe like minusing a negative number yields a positive?
its amazing that man evolved on animal protein for millions of years. Vegs came around about 5000 years ago
No we didn’t
How do you only have 1 million subscribers and dr berg with all the keto bullshit has 12 million?
Thanks. Now lets hear the non-biased truth as well, please. Yes, plants are good though, thats why I listen to this channel.
Dr. G looks at the least-biased science. Everything it biased because humans are imperfect. Plants though--pretty perfect and have changed my life because I listen to the science as Dr. Greger finds it. You can find thousands of his videos at his site and get a much more meaningful view of Dr. G and his work than you'll get here on YT where commercialism and trolling are rampant. Cheers.
