I was stage 3 a three weeks ago, nephrologist said it’s irreversible. I did my research and went straight to vegan diet, intermittent fasting, no salt and drinking 3 liters of water a day. I am now stage 2! Thanks for this great interview, too bad the sound was not good.
Thank you
What did your vegan diet consist of
Thankyou. I need to lock up the salt bottle somewhere.
Please share your vegan diet
How is that really possible
My nephrologist was so happy that I'm vegan. He even wrote in his notes to my internist that the vegen diet is the very best diet for the kidneys. He recommends a low fat, low protein, low sodium, whole food vegan diet. My kidneys healed so well that he said I didn't need to see him anymore.
Fantastic!
what did youeat?
Fantastic news. Keep up the good work!
i noticed that when u ask them what they ate they never reply
Interesting. The consensus is that kidney dont heal.
I find Kidney disease very confusing - on the one hand we are being told that a vegan and/or vegetarian diet will help with CKD so we modify our diets to include greens and all types of vegetables including broccoli, cauliflowers, asparagus, etc. Fruits are included such as apples, peaches, melons, etc. Animal protein is substituted with plant-based protein including beans, but then... you read that many of those items you thought were healthy and helping to keep your CKD in check, may not be so healthy for your kidneys after all. So, unless you are a nutritionist who knows the proper levels of potassium, phosphorous, etc. in all the different foods, you find yourself in a very confused state. So what should a person with CKD eat safely? I know that is too broad a question, but I hope you see the mixed signals we are getting when it comes to choosing the proper diet for CKD.
Well if you already have kidney disease, some vegetables and most fruits raise your blood sugar level. Everybody is not the same. Research all your veggies, spinach, pomegranates, bananas ets are high is potassium. If you already been diagnosed the stay away from them
Look, I tried McDougal's potatoes diet and it skyrocketed my sugar level. Maybe I already have diabetes. I have to be careful with most foods because they spike my blood sugar. Got to do by trial and error. It's tedious.
Its insane as now green leafy is bad say Sally Horton whose a nobody selling books.
More research needs to be done on oxalates. It’s totally confusing
My mother had stage 4-5 kidney failure and was on dialysis for 8 weeks. She became a vegetarian and is no longer on dialysis. Also, she took a supplement Renadyl, which might have helped.
i had 30% left on mine changed diet
What was gfr of your mother can renadyl improve gfr
don't know what renadyl is but what about chanca piedra
Wow! What vegetables did she eat?
@@jazziez6467yes. Chanca Piedra and Astralagus Tea. My sister creatinine got better drinking astralagus tea.
Having to Live with one of the worse sickness can be exhausting but I still have to believe I can be healed.
@Casey Muller That’s nice, I have Been diagnosed with a cancer and I will definitely need her help and would also want to know how to get in touch with her. I hope she cures other sickness also?
@Casey Muller Thank you a lot you are a life saver. I have found her website on the internet.
Casey- is this healer of God?
@@abircocci8157I would suggest praying to Christ Jesus. He will heal you if it is within his holy will for you.
Check out dr. Peter Rogers' lectures on cancer and nutrition, he's a big fan of dr. mcDougall himself and the message aligns. He just goes in depth on the biochemistry of it all and explains in great detail. Hope you get well.
lm 3 months into the Starch Solution. l watched last night and l watched today learning more about the McDougall's program. l have a friend on dialysis who is a 50 year old female. l tell her what lm learning about the Starch Solution. Unfortunately she is brainwashed and tells me to get a life. l do have a new life learning about the Starch Solution and new friends to hear about their stories and new recipes to sample
My dear, any friend who tells you to "get a life" is probably maybe not a true friend...but maybe that's just me...
“Get a life “?. That’s so rude of her. I hope you find new friends.
@@sparklegirl7544 no it’s not just you. It’s very rude.
Guess it all gets back to "You can lead a horse to water..."
Kudos for trying..."Been there, done that," and been alienated as a result...😢
Keep going, keep going on your own journey, she'll eventually get it!
When I was in nursing school many years ago, I was taught that a low protein diet was imperative for dialysis patients. Now dialysis patients are told to eat a high protein diet plus high protein ensure drinks. When I try to educate my patients, they say their doctors tell them to keep the protein in their diet very high. This is a challenge I see in the hospital.
Thanks Dr. McDougall and AJ. Love your work!
Yikes! I guess it makes sense when you learn about the corruption in the dialysis industry.
Well I know one reason they push protein is because a lot of dialysis patients become anemic. It’s very scary when someone is so anemic as to need a transfusion to disobey any suggestions from the care team.
Are you a plant-based nurse? I have diabetes and kidney disease and I run to the washroom every ten minutes when I drink water, what would you suggest to eat?
@@ihartsacto: you are absolutely right. I am a diabetic with CKD and in my late 60s. I was told by my nephrologist to eat only plant-based protein. That's difficult for a diabetic and in trying to balance between the two issues I became malnourished. I had no energy and could not stand long enough to make a cup of coffee. I had to reevaluate my diet and introduce some animal protein and iron supplements and others. I told my doctor that I would rather die early from the disease than waste away in bed waiting to die. She has never made any recommendations on supplements only her constant regarding plant base and then she made it worse by removing most legumes due to phosphate. Quite frankly it was depressing.
@@maxineadderley5378leafy greens have both protein and iron
Dr McDougall with his 50 years of experience is a treasure to the world. His online 12 day program with support for a whole year sounds incredible as well. Thank You Chef AJ and Dr McDougall.
I do have the problem of eating 3k-3.5k calories per day. I still am losing 1 lbs a week . Somedays i do gain a pound by eating so many starches but the overall trend is downwards.. I use to weight 350 lbs and now I am 225 at 6 foot 3. Dr. McDougall saved me from the paleo diet also because he put paleo in the headline. I almost quit listening but he was making so much sense. Dr. McDougall changed my health and I will always have his back!!!!
Getting rid of flour products really helps . Quit eating dry boxed cereal & lost another 12 lbs.
@@jgrysiak6566 I hit 223.9 lbs this morning
@@annelewis7435, I just added more yellow, Japanese, & purple sweet potatoes with my lunchtime coffee. I used to carry a box of Cheerios/Shedded wheat with me to Dunkin Donuts. I also just added more blueberries now also
I am also 6’3” and started at 250lbs. I am now 175lbs. I didn’t think I would go below 200lbs but it kept coming off.
@@JWB671 Thanks for encouragement.
I finally get it, more protein is not the goal, actually quite the opposite. I was trained to value a high protein nutrition label in a processed food, such as cereal. Now i want whole foods without labels & protein is not the priority. I heard Dr.McDougall say that protein deficiency is impossible if you consume enough calories on a whole food plant carb diet but the brain washing ran deep. Now i want a low protein diet and have few dietetic worries and what a relief. I am feeling better already & now the idea of eating animal products is a toxic thought 💀 Thankyou for sharing your knowledge about the truth of why so many are sick, im happy to trust in the McDougall diet for my best possible health.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️One of the things I appreciate most about Dr. McDougall is that he does not hesitate to call out other physicians who state information contrary to the empirical research.
I have seen Dr. McDougal on panels with other physicians and he doesn’t not hesitate to point out misinformation. This makes the level of his credibility apparent. I have the utmost respect that he has such a high ethical standard that he will not sit silent in the presence of others who provide information to the public that does not coincide with the research.
The caliber of his character is rare indeed.
My mother was on dialysis for 10 years when she died. The nurses at the Dialysis Clinic told her she needed protein after her visits, and said that Burger King's meat was superior to McDonald's. I was still a little new to all this information, but I kept telling her protein was hard on her kidneys and suggested she eat something else. Just shows even nurses know nothing about nutrition unless they learn it on their own.
Very sorry to say....I'm a South Indian Doctor,...Here also in India ....no nurse is fully educated and they know nothing in medical subjects..
They just work for time and patients are dying of Septicaemia , because of their negligence....
We doctors cannot stay with the patient 24/7..
What type of nurse would suggest fast food burger for any patient let alone a ckd patient nurse should be fired 😮
I think things may be changing as I work as a nurse and we have a student nurse who is doing research on blueberries and their benefits. Talking about smoothies for patients, unheard of a while back as big Pharma wouldn't allow it. Hoping it's not a one off!
U are fight and sorry to say even nephrologists my wife nephrogist very nice Dr buttttttt has not helped at all my wife has researched on her own and challenged herself on so much on learning on ckd she as become her own advocate on this as she has found out u have to be as they really don't know themselves and has been no help on what to and what not to etc we have been amazed on this and she has gotten her gfr up on her own and lowered creatine shes now back to stage 2 all he says when she sees him is whatever your doing keep it up see u in 3 mo has never told her on how to manage and what to eat how to keep your electrolytes in check also people with ckd also don't realize u have to keep an eye on your electrolyes also and lot of patients are not told that 😞 I'm sorry u lost your mother to this horrible disease ...
Fast food is purely junk. The fact that nurses are in poor health and eat that same crap says so much.
This has opened my eyes completely!, why has past studies been ignored?, how disturbing that vital information that could save lives aren't being taken into serious account, thankfully my daughter has brought this channel to my attention, this also backs up Dr Robert Morse's research, thank god for RUclips and doctors like these shedding light and truth on good health and healthy eating and how it affects the body.
Because the powers that be want us sick n dying
❤ @CHEF AJ Thank you sooooooo much for this. Thank you so much too to Dr McDougall. Love Dr McDougall. When I used to go to a cafe, books, including his, were there for anyone to read. It gave people a chance to look at books they wouldn’t otherwise, and also helped people who couldn’t afford the books or find them at a library. Fewer libraries around these days. Although I don’t have money for the cafe right now, when I can go again to the cafe I’ll read some more. It’s a great idea for the cafes to share books, and that cafe was a vegan cafe so of course they had great books to share while sitting at the cafe.
Low protein diet improved my GFR from 34 to 46. A no brainer 👍🏻
Did you go straight vegetarian or vegan?
What is a low protein diet
@@andreacosbert2374eat more vegetables and less animal meats.
Some vegetables also have high protein
@@andreacosbert23740.6g/kg of ideal weight. Figure out what your ideal weight should be for your sex and height, if it’s in pounds, convert that number to kilograms. Multiply that number by 0.6, and that’s how many grams of protein to limit yourself to each day. Also, animal protein is harder on diseased kidneys to process, so plant protein is ideal.
Thank you for another great interview! Dr. McDougall is so passionate and has very informative medical education.
Ok
Eating vegan no meat and nearly all starch. I went from GFR of 56 to 83. Stage 3 to a high stage 2. I was eating Mediterranean diet strictly with a lot of fish, olive oil, and nuts etc and then that is when how terrible my kidneys were at age 60.
Really. . I get pressure pain in kidney area. .starch is safe
Oils are toxic
Trust you are doing good
In how. Much time your gfr improve
What about if you have type 2 diabetes? Can you eat starch?
@@drosas565 forme I think the lower protein and whole food starches, not wheat but a lot of oatmeal, beans, vegetables is what helped.
This is so precisely the information I need right now. Thank you Chef AJ and MacDougall family.
Thank you Dr. McDougall for telling us the truth! God bless you!
I watched this through. I was shocked to learn we lose 1/3 to 1/2 functional capacity of our kidneys, by say, age 70. My friends, my age, is having transplant surgery. The donor is her 73 yr old sister. I pray her sister's health doesn't deteriorate, as a result of what I just learned, because the weight of that is unimaginable. It's sad, but I don't think my friend will take any better care of the new kidney, by changing and/or improving her diet. In fact, I read the diet protocol she was given by her MD, and it's heavy on meat protein and dairy. OMG
The worst part is they both are being told she is doing what she should to take care of her diet 😔
That’s a huge concern. My sister is on dialysis and wasn’t recommended for the transplant program. She was being considered she told me, for a while and was mid-70’s which is older than they usually consider. I thought about being tested to donate a kidney but my concern was that she had not addressed her underlying condition which was diabetes. It’s a big operation and a risk at that age. The reason I decided against being tested was what would happen if my child or another younger family member needed a kidney and also that my sister didn’t try to reverse her diabetes.
Yikes . That 73 year old sister must love your friend a lot to consider giving her a kidney when she at that age is at risk too . Plus such a huge surgery for a 73 year old . I hope your friend takes care of her new donated kidney . Why not send her this video even if you think she might not listen ?
I am watching this episode again. So much to learn. Thank you Dr McDougall for sharing this education. I have been looking for answers and education on the Kidney Disease (function) issues. When I work out how to join your 12 day program, I will. My daughter helps me with all computer things. :) My friend may be joining it also even though she doesn't have kidney issues. She wants to lose weight. We have both tried different diets including Keto. I did a tailored keto diet knowing about my kidneys, back then was at 28GFR and got it up to 38GFR. It then slipped away from me and finally , after years am now down to 13GFR with my last test. I am currently waiting to see the Nephrologist next month to get my current results. Really wish I understood back then what you are teaching here. I have adjusted my diet intensely since watching your videos on the last few days. I ate a boiled potato, mashed with No butter and No milk and amazingly... No sugar spike !! Thank you !! I don't know how much vegetable to eat in each meal, I only have 2 meals a day so I believe the program can help me.
This is so important! So much respect for doctors that tell the truth. 💯
I went from an eGFR of 55 to 70 in three months using a plant based diet- very little animal protein and none of it red meat. Also took Kidney restore and Kidney shield. There is all kinds of information out there on how to improve your eGFR scores and lower your creatinine. You just have to do the research and avoid the scams- also you have to be dedicated to changing your life style if you eat red meat all the time- I have another blood panel in 6 weeks and we will see if my eGFR has increases any further.
I wished I found this sooner👌you’re the doctor we all want to have. Please make copy of yourself to save our lives🙏🏻🙏🏻
I stopped eating wheat, tomatoes white potatoes, I feel better. Got arthritis and I do Tumic Ginger black pepper and I feel great. Dr. Mc Dougall must address this with the wheat. It's Frabken wheat and sprayed with Glyphosate.
Why is he not addressing this?😮
All wheat crops are sprayed with Glyphosate BUT only before the wheat grains are seeded in the ground. Glyphosate kills weeds and is NEVER sprayed on the wheat. Only used to prepare the soil for seeding. I know this because we are surrounded by wheat and food Farmers and we learn from them. I have heard the misinformation on the internet and that is annoying.
He does but it has to be organic
That might be true but the residue of glyphosate likely remains in the ground and is then taken up by the plant as it grows! @@CreativeDee
I am very grateful for Dr McDougal! Thank you for all the time you spend teaching so we can make wise choices! I am now on your diet. It is my lifestyle now.
Talking about the kidneys always gives me a queasy, slightly nauseous feeling. I get a small ripple in my abdomen. But I need to hear this. I don't have kidney disease - yet- but my eating is terrible. So, thanks for posting, A.J.
You look so pretty with your hair short A.J. You have a beautiful face! Thank you for all your work and the interviews you do for us!
Aww--thank you!♥️
@@CHEFAJ You are so awesome Chef AJ
Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤🕊
AJ, I hope that you and Dr. McDougall can address this subject again. The connection quality was so poor, it was difficult to track much of what he said. Thank you for all your great interviews.
I want to send this to family member but something is wrong. With audio
Dr McDougall is a worldly treasure and is worthy of the highest award in human generosity. His contribution and dedication to the betterment of human, animal and planet health is beyond measure. SO appreciate him and you Chef AJ for giving him this platform.
I agree with both of you. I am having a hard time getting on board 100%, but it is habitual, just as Dr. McDougal states. Not eating unhealthy food is nothing like staying off drugs or alcohol.
Investing in your health is work and requires breaking down all the social going along brainwashing by everyone and the corporations. Once you break that with a few skills, you can do it.
It does take weeks to several months for taste to adjust. So worth it!
Lower protein makes a lot of sense, but I can’t embrace high sugar or nixing vitamin D. There are too many other benefits to keeping Vit D levels high
I don’t understand. The doctor is talking about a starch diet and I have diabetes along with the kidney disease and he didn’t even mention that the starches can harm my A1c. Now what do I do? I just started watching your videos to get some information on my kidneys. A friend of mine directed me to Chef AJ. Thank you.
If you have a specific question for the dr., please email us at: help@chefaj.com
I think it is not pleasure or addiction, but familiarity.. association with your mother or grandma, childhood connections die hard… memories with Ice cream for example.. for me.
Yes but they should never die: instead you veganise them. Everything can be made plant based. Ice cream made from banana or dates and almonds etc. No need to forget about your culture.
AJ is making gillions of "Brownie Points in Heaven" by featuring Luminaries like Dr. McDougal, whose wisdom AND M.D. Credentials (lacking in many with those letters behind their names) allow him authority to question their assumed superiority in health care
Dr. McDougall you & Mary have long been gifts toin educating those of us eager to learn...
Read the pleasure trap by Dr. Doug lisle. It's addition. 🙂
In the Q&A you talk about lime and lemons and sour in mouth. I have a sour mouth when I eat the normal citrus fruits. When I eat the same Demeter or organic I'm fine. The same happens when I eat the normal mixed nuts and dry fruits. When I eat the same Demeter or organic, no problems at all.
A good friend of mine has recently been ill with kidney stones. When I explained about cutting out meat and animal products he said these are all the foods I love. OH well.
kidney stones mainly because of water is too hard, and kidney is too weak
Im not vegan but very persuaded by the health benefits. Few months ago i wanted to lose body fat and gain muscle, a body recomp. Was mixing whey protein into low fat yoghurt, eating chicken breast, egg whites..felt like i was poisoning myself. I really dont know how body builders drink so much whey protein shakes and eat so much chicken breast, without getting seriously sick.
The most fit professional athletes are plant-based, google it.
Thanks for the laugh Dr. McDougall "People of Central America and the Aztecs were called people of the corn, not people of the pork chops". Every time I listen to that I get a good belly laugh. Thank you!
I liked…. “It’s the bread basket, not the tri-tip basket.” 😂
Corn is highly sprayed with pesticides and herbicides. Go figure. Your damned if you do, damned if you dont. Big Pharma has highly orchestrated our predicament. Thank you FDA. Never combine one administration to rule your food and your drugs. The highest payer gets their voice. Pharmekia is witchcraft.
I am only 20 minutes into this, but have two observations. The first is about how Chef AJ lost a friend when she suggested that the friend go vegan. I have heard Chef AJ mention this kind of thing before. I have also lost friends - more so due to the animal rights aspect but have also been rebuffed when speaking about health concerns to more than one person who has since passed away due to the health problem they faced.
The other observation is that Dr. McDougall talks about not eating animal foods but then goes on to say cows and pigs multiple times. So many people seem to think that foods like chicken and fish are not animal foods. I wish he would clarify that all animal protein does similar things to the body. I cannot count how many times people have told me in a bragging way that they don’t eat meat or much meat or live on chicken or fish thinking this is healthy. Am only 20 minutes into this so will see how much he clarifies this. For newbies, I think this point should be clarified.
Wait, just to clarify, are you saying your friends died cause they went vegan?
@@AntoninusPius17 No, that is not what she said.
If you did finish listening to the video now, he does clarify that all animal products including chicken and fish are not to be eaten. I think that is a challenge for most people but dialysis would be much more of a challenge. Hopefully your friends will listen to the whole video and get re-educated on this subject.
In 2020, my egfr was 56. Today it sits at 92
All numbers good.
Please tell me what you did because my kidney function is 54
Can you give details how you increased it? I would be deeply grateful to know. 🙏🏻
Can you please tell us how you improved your numbers?
And how did you increase it?
Thank you very much Papa for the wonderful presentation
My mother's kidneys stopped functioning after 10 years of decline. Went on dialysis her last few months. Such a nightmare ending. She drank coffee, milk, Pepsi & ate alot of deli meat & liked salt. I turned vegetarian & only drink water after this. But even so, I am seeing my creatinine creeping up 15 years later.
Thank you so much for wonderful lessons, to day no one is giving information or any dietary. I am going to follow your dietary. I have Thallasaemia heterozygous, Kinney stone’s,Hyperthyroidism, Right Kinney became smaller, diagnosed autoimmune Sjogren and Celiac disease, because of that severe bleeding that I have had. I have to study for my self , my doctors doesn’t give information or advice. Thanks a lot to you.
Watch Dr Berg & Dr Hyman as well... Wishing you well!
@@calista1280 Thank you
Thank you so much for this great info. So happy I found this discussion by Dr McDougall on what to eat for CKD and offering understanding on the disease. Best and most thorough information I have found. Nephrologist I saw offered no information whatsoever.
Thank you Dr McDougal for not giving up
I was getting so sick after eating. Especially after a big holiday meal. No one took me seriously when I said it was from foods. My body physically reacts like an allergic reaction or rejection. Especially now since I rarely eat meat or anything processed. Now everyone says all diseases start in the gut
Same thing here as my family is Italian and all have heart issues and refuse to change diets. They just do stents and take medication as I'm WFPB SOS. They tell me everything in moderation as I tell them that what weak people say. This will be my first vegan holiday as I refuse to eat so much fat and sugars. They all ruined my kids diets and now all being adults are having medical issues that people in their 60 get. Oh well I guess I'm gonna die last
We love you dr mcdougal!! Thank you! For this info, I’m a nurse and I LOVE!!! Heart g this info!!!
My wife is on dialysis. Obviously she does not eat steaks but she eats products that have milk. I try to get her to go on McDougall but she follows what her doctor says. I am 54 and she is 47. She is on a lot of different medications also.
I am on zero medications except for garlic which I crush and put in water and then drink it in 30 minutes. 3 or 4 pieces of the garlic. have not been to a doctor in 10 years. I quit cheating on the McDougall diet 1 year ago and I am down to 225 at 6 foot 3. My goal is 180 lbs. If I had not been cheating I would have been at my goal several years earlier.
i find it easy to adhear to McDougall's diet if I dont view it as a diet rather I view animal foods as animals; the animals that have eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to beat, and feelings to feel, just like us.
@@LeckieInstallsLondon and milk to feed their own babies
Milk. Is tough on the kidneys. Sorry to hear about your wife.
@@LeckieInstallsLondon I started out with McDougall with the goal to have a good BMI. Now I feel like I am helping the environment in a significant way by staying plant centered.
Great lecture 🙏
It is a shame that there is such a connection problem in this very important video. The audio glitches out.
The key is getting off processed crap. Then eat whatever whole foods do not affect the gut adversely. Lots of problems begin in the gut.
Yes! My dad dropped to low carb, high fat diet, which included more protein, and avoided processed crap & sugars and doubled his kidney function & lost weight. I think dropping processed crap helped immensely.
@@luvfunstuff2 Not eating ultra-processed crap does help, but fat is very bad for our cells' mitochondria and will eventually lead to cell death. Check out dr. Peter Rogers videos on dietary fat, he'll explain the biochemistry behind it.
Exactly
Mitochondria love fat so do our hormones, we need fats .
Animal fats.
DrMcDougall stands alone on many of his veiws but somehow I feel the man’s message rings true
Agree...take a look at your weekly circulars...same junk...same fruit choices...same meats...addiction is easy. But, will get this book to read. The people may not shiver but the food is addicting.
Sugar and fats are the worse and let's not forget salt too
Doc. You are speaking so much truth . Diet is key... blessings to you always
Same to you!
I have stage 3 Kidney disease. After watching this video, I’ve ordered two of Dr McDougall’s books and am going to start following his diet. What bothers me is I ask my Kidney doctor, what can I do stop my kidney disease from getting worse and he said there is nothing you can do. He said if it gets worse, he will start me on medication. Well, I’m going to prove him wrong! 😊 Thank you for all the great information Dr McDougall!!!
It is our pleasure!
Some kidney doctors very bad
Thank you for this info, I just learned I have 30 per cent of my kidney function
No one mentioned a diet plan! Unbelievable!
It was fabulous. I hope people listen. Keep protein and fat low which has been shown in mice as the biggest factor in longevity. People are being misled by ideas of beans and you don’t need them but they are good if you dont have problems in moderation.
What I see is a man fighting the lies so I have a lot of respect for Dr McDougall
My doctor has no "frank" discussion. Dx of Chronic Kidney Dx2. Did not know until I got home and read "today visit". Pre dialectic, lower your carbohydrates, eat 3-5 serving of fruits and veggies. Come back in 3 or 4 months, you have too many issues for today. I went because of sciatic stenosis. I am 81, first diagnosis in my whole life. I prepare, no resturants or processed, mostly vegetarian, never, smoked, drank alcohol or none prescribed or any drugs. Elderly are not important.
I love when he says " SPIN DOCTORS"😅
Hawaii chain of islands in the background! Big Island here
So far I am six and a half hours into this video and he never spoke anything about what you need to do to prevent or treat kidney failure. Anybody know what the pointers were or can someone type them on here because I don't have another 38 hours to get through all these 433 commercials I've had to be subject to watch. First video I've ever known where I have had CC already 49 commercials and we're only 10 minutes into the video. Definitely know there are hundreds of millions of other knowledgeable people who have uploaded video related to kidney issues. Everyone says just hit the skip button that would be great but I don't have a caregiver to come in and hit the skip button every 8:10 commercial which is 40 minutes long minutes.
God bless you dr McDougall
Thank you for being honest and charitable
Love you sir
You’re the best
The audio loss due to Zoom is really bad in this video. It'd be great to have a summary of what Dr.John said.
Dr McDougall my kidneys are fine..I do have a question...one fingertip on my index finger gets numb and white near the nail... intermittently...
I'm a follower of you ..I lost 95 lbs and in excellent health otherwise...100% whole foods plant based 4 years now SOS...please help...
If its just one finger, then it could be old physical damage. It sounds like a blood flow problem from an old injury unless you have ongoing physical actions on that finger. Keeping it warm and regular massaging might help to encourage blood flow to the finger. Also, make sure you are ok on B12 as a rule out possibility. You cant do much beyond that. If you have other affected fingers or skin effects in other parts of the body, that can be quite different.
Need more B vitamin foods B1 B6
Renaulds syndrome maybe
B12. Since your on plant based. Buy nutritional yeast. I bought a bag on traditional national yeast, no added vitamins. Im on 90% plant based diet. I put cream or milk in my coffee, I eat boiled eggs one a while. I eat fish, processed foods (once a while), chocolate, donuts, bacon and meat . I eat them all once in a while.I drink my vegetables. I purée them and drink it all and I juice celery, carrots, ginger, apples, cucumber, radish, orange and lemons. All in one. If I can’t buy organics because sometimes the grocery don’t have have it, I ozonised my vegetables and fruits with my ozonator machine. It kills all the fungus, bacteria, parasites and pesticides.
Great video and information but dome parts of your audio was very broken up unfortunately. Hopefully you van correct that. Looking forward to more informative kidney videos. Thank you
thanks aj and doc. McDougall. Being a one kidney wonder, this is some important infor for me.
Are there problems with oxalates in certain foods that damage kidneys?
I would definitely avoid at high oxalate foods, such as spinach, and there are many more you need to look up the list
What’s your opinion on lectins and the kidneys?
I agree with the doctor knowledge is power I look at some of these diets and I am asking where is the starch I 😊am starving I have changed my diet
People need a certain amount of protein. Especially as you age. that's a balance to keep in mind. Frailty is deadly
You got that right. Prone to falls and breaking bones, Alzheimer also. The brain needs fat/cholesterol. Brain feeds off of a fat. Consuming lemons, radishes and drinking chanka Piedra tea is good for kidneys. Messaging kidney three times a day and doing castor oil pack is really good.
@@GraceDollesin you don't need cholesterol in your diet. Your body makes enough. And the brain uses glucose for fuel. If you don't get enough glucose from carbs, your body can make glucose from non carb foods through a process called gluconeogenesis. It's not efficient. It's just to keep you from dying right away in the absence of carbs.
So how much protein is safe considering you need it for muscles don’t you?
My gfr is normal but my protein is 14x the normal. Is cutting back on dietary protein going to help with that?
Dr. McDougall please stop and drink water as you run through your talk. I felt so bad to hear him struggling with his congestion. He must have had a cold. Talking without hydrating his parched throat made it difficult to listen to. He is a true gem and we are so lucky to have him impart his knowledge to the public. A great doctor for sure!
“Not the people of the pork chops.” 😂❤
Worked in dialysis up to 2016. Payients were regularly low albumin and the dr and dietitian constantly pushed protien on the patients. Was that wrong?
I think I need to listen to his starch rant every day
Wonderful lecture. Thank you
Thank you ❤
What about cyst on the kidneys can you have a program on that.
Cause of kidney disease is high blood pressure so please monitor blood pressure
I know someone that only has one kidney and has done since he was a young man. He is now in his late 60's. He drinks, smokes and eats whatever he wants. He eats meat every day. Now knowing this, I don't believe that someone that donates a kidney has to be a Vegan. I think that is a ridiculous assumption.
It's not food addiction it's called emotional food eating.....and comfort foods and sugar foods and cheese ect are what people eat appease their emotions.
Oxytocin hit..a physical addiction for boosting negative emotions. Must focus on gratitudes & get outside to do some walking
@1:15 something, Dr McDougall how do you ease someone off dialysis if every time they visit the blood is being changed, the blood never gets a chance to build itself up through plants ?
Dialysis and transfusion are different things. Dialysis is just filtering the toxins/waste out of the blood. Transfusion is adding donated blood. Keep eating a better diet.
@@marleri Absolutely
Thanks
I know this comment will not be well received but if his way of dieting is so healthy, why does he look so frail? I think he is 76 but he looks like a healthy 90ish person. Chef AJ is nothing but skin now (she was perfect about 2-3 years ago)...no muscle mass now. I just worry that in these hard times, should there be a famine people like them would be the first to go. We are under the impression, it seems, that we will never have a famine crisis in this country. No one saw Covid-19 coming so it could happen. The Starch solution seems like a good diet to use for serious conditions/disorders, but once healthy, one should resume normal, healthy eating (i.e., whole foods).
I don’t know how old you are but I am 72 and I think he looks fine. I would ride in a car he was driving. He does not have cataracts or any chronic disease. You are used to a norm where morbidly obese people are presented as normal so it affects your judgement. All of us older people, or most, have not eaten healthily our entire lives. Some of us smoked because it was so common when we were young. I personally lost a 100 pounds which ruined my skin on my face. We all have had sun exposure and gravity. I have a damaged knee from a fall and cataracts it am otherwise healthy so I am grateful to Dr. McDougall. I chose Atkins back in the day and it was a big mistake. So please rethink and look a little deeper when evaluating the appearance of older people.
Agree. She looks awful. Her face doesn’t even move! But then who says vegans can’t go under the knife lol😂
@@ihartsacto Well said
What is a" healthy" diet you should to resume?Diet of meat?Starch is the normal diet for human being.Period..
@@verrasimonsimon7876 Did you read my response? Dr. McDougall had a stroke when he was young. He lost his home and property in the California fires a few years ago including the probable death of his pets. He also took a bad fall. He doesn’t wear makeup or dye his hair and neither does his wife. They don’t pose for the camera, wear stylish clothes, or even have their hair done! Please! Health is everything. I call diabetes the “pretty people’s disease” because so many who have it are attractive.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! In the last month, I have had to get involved with my father’s two doctors because one is not talking to the other, in addition to one PA trying to override a heart medication that the heart specialist gave him! In addition to neither of the doctors have taken any time to update my father after the heart specialist cancelled my father’s two remaining refills without his knowledge. I found this out after making one phone call. I appreciate doctors like you sharing the knowledge. Somewhere in the medical area in these days the medical communication and trying to really help the patient is questionable. There are five examples communicated to me in the last week! Please continue to educate the new doctors, and please continue to share your knowledge!
I want to know more about your book and diets a kidney stones infection person should eat. Am living in Nigeria, Africa.
Always good interview with Dr. McDougall. I had to laugh at your thumbnail. When I first glanced at it on my laptop (small screen), the wall hangings behind his head looked like globs of gore shooting from his head. I got a chuckle when I opened the video and saw what it was.
Ha ha! Those are the islands composing Hawaii. Your observation was quite funny.
@@hankhardisty9433 Ooohhhh, is that what those are. Ha Ha. LOL. Thanks.
@@kefirheals7383 Yeah :) dr. McDougall and Mary have lived in Hawaii many years.
Thank You 🥰💞💖
Love "Do u go to a rehab center for meat withdrawal?
LMAO
Why you ask that ?
Can someone please provide the Cliff notes? .. Not that I don't want to hear everyone's hospital stories.. I don't have 2.5 hours to burn lol
Not that I don't feel terrible for everyone's loved ones being in the hospital *but* ..
I followed this diet since 2013.
And ???? How's it going ?
@@valjean2036 I am down to 220 lbs at 6 foot 3 from 325 lbs .
I am 215 lbs now
Just stick with the diet . I do not recommend cheating but if you do just get back on the diet asap. If I had not cheated so much I would have been at my weightless years ago. I use to weigh 350lbs so I am just happy to be at 215lbs at 6 foot 3.
I am 213 now
I am a donor for last 11 years now I’m diabetic and high cholesterol what should my diet be?
Cholesterol is affected by kidneys. Grains & plant based.
If you got diabetics you cant consume much sugar?
Hi. I have ty pe 2 diabetes for 30 years. I have been diagnosed with stage 3 CKD. YOUR DIET PERHAPS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DIABETICS
PLEASE ADVISE?
Thank you Doctor
I’m on Lisinopril & invokana
I got 26 on gfr and my protein was very high talking about 3k 😔 I’ve stopped eating red meat this last month and reducing my meat intake as much as possible and sticking to veggies. I’m starting to learn more about diet and looking for a reliable nephrologist. Next week I get a biopsy and im just scared if eating right will have an improvement
Controlling diet can indeed delay the progression of illness, but many people cannot persist. As far as i know, troditional chinese medicine can cure CKD, but not much people know about this. I knew a doc who is good at this. Wish you good luck
@@GREAT-DEAL989 I’m open to almost anything lol I also heard about this plant forgot the name but that can treat your kidneys too and take it like an infuser or in shakes or alone and has to be 10 cm.
@@GREAT-DEAL989 would you share the info? Preferable with tests results
@@mitchpol1432that’s the astralagus. They make tea of that and extract . My sister proteina(don’t know the spell) got better by drinking astralagus tea. I drink astralagus tea and chanka Piedra tea for prevention. My sister was diabetes 2 for more than two decades. She’s a nurse on graveyard shift. We all know, we should be sleeping at night . Circadian Rhythm. Long time user of diabetes medicine. Metformin, glypiside , insulin(two years injecting) . She started having protein in her pee. Scared the shit out of her. I happened to have a thick ass book, called Japanese Healing, translated in English. All the diseases and Healing naturally were written there. That’s where I came across the Astralagus plant. I told my sister about it. Thank God , she got better and her A1C now is around 7. It used to be 14 A1C.
@@GREAT-DEAL989 what would those Chinese medicine be?
Thank you Chef AJ, for defending being human. I have family whom I love who are not stupid, who have tried & tried and are addicted. Some don’t want to but doesn’t make them stupid. Just loved you for that. Dr M can be hard & harsh on doc and patients/people. His info is on point & relevant. Very little to disagree with although I do have less than 1% disagreeing with him but People do go thru withdrawals like alcohol etc. May not be as severe but I did when I got rid of sugar. The pain & brain fog was real 😢 Thank you for sticking up for us, our friends and family. You should have him talk with your friends who did presentations on food addiction. Forgot her name. That was a few months ago. I’ll look it up and post on chat later ❤🙏🏽 @chefAJ
Well I called all of my family who all have multiple degrees stupid. I can t hold back as I see them all with diabetes and heart disease eating high fat Italian food and finish it off with cannolis
How do I make an appointment?
Love him!!!
