Disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor or a medical professional. I am merely detailing what worked for me in hopes it will help others.
If you have seen my previous videos, parts of this may be a repeat for you. This is a great video for those newly diagnosed to watch BEFORE my other videos.
I watched your first video and subscribed. Then found this one. I was told my EGFR at the age of 38 was 59. Being obese, pre-diabetic, and having high cholesterol I panicked too. I was crying, depressed, scared...thought my life was beginning to end. I prayed so hard. I asked God to forgive my gluttony and sluggishness. I asked him that if it was His will He would heal me but I accept that the damage was my fault and that I might have to live with the consequences. In the mean time, while I waited on the Lord, I actively repented of those things. I studied kidney and heart healthy diets. I did my very best. I researched my blood results and started losing weight. Drank a ton of water and gave up diaretics in my life except for a small amount of black coffee that I balanced with a lot of water. Not only did God reverse the damage done the year my kidney function plummeted, but he reversed damage done the years before that. A couple years before my egfr being 59 it was 81. My kidney function jumped to 84. I have more blood work next week and I hope it will improve even more. I wasn't sure it could improve more. I was more than happy with an 84. But you gave me hope that since I have been continuing on, am now at a healthy BMI, have healthy blood sugar, and healthy cholesterol, maybe they will tell me I have a 90 or above. But I thank God that He saw my repentance from the sinful life that was leading to my destruction and He healed me. I wasn't losing 2 points a year the years prior...I was losing 7-16 points a year. At the age of 38 that was a really really bad trend to keep following. I am now on no meds at all. I have more energy and 90 percent less pain and as a fibromyalgia sufferer, that's a big deal! I'm not dying anymore, I'm living. I did a lot of what you said to do but I had come to that knowledge through my own research. I didn't eliminate meat though. I cut WAY back on it though. But my dietary needs were different given my stage of kidney damage. But I remember that panick. It was almost debilitating at first. God is not a God of fear though. Satan wants us in that feeling of hopelessness I am sure. Satan wants to destroy us but God wants to restore us.
You are very helpful and easy to listen to. Stage 3a here with high blood pressure. I am amused any time I hear people say" Well something is gonna kill all of us eventually " while bragging about the garbage they eat. The problem is most don't just drop or fall asleep and not wake. There is alot of illness and long term suffering with these conditions before death. It's not fun nor a joking matter. Quality of life becomes non existent while sitting in doctors offices, hospitals or laying on the couch too ill to do anything. Vicki
Thank you for your witness for God. That has to be the beginning of everything we do.
Yes indeed. He is my rock!❤
Hi Glen! First of all Thank You for your Service to our Country! And Thank You for your Service to We the People who need help combating these diseases. Your kindness and caring shows thru all of your videos. I'm so grateful to have found your channel. Thank you for being a light in the darkness for so many of us out here searching for help. God Bless you and your Beautiful wife for all of the time you are dedicating to helping others.
Sue, Thank you for your kind words. I pray daily that God's light will shine through me.
I'm so glad I came across your podcast. I've learned so much from you, for instance the "STOPPING kIDNEY DISEASE FOOD GUIDE" book you recommended has been very helpful. I'm drinking lots of water, and I'm feeling great. It's also helping my husband because both of us are on the road to damaging our kidneys if we don't change our lifestyle. My sugar levels have come down immensely thanks to your guide. You're an angel in my book so I want to thank you for taking your time to teach us by experience.
You're welcome Nelly. Please join my Facebook group if you haven't yet. The link nissan in the video description.
Hi Glenn. Good news. I am in hospital for a bowel obstruction. But in a little over two weeks I have brought my gfr from 41 to over 60 with your plant based diet. Also, I have almost reversed diabetes. My numbers went from 189 a1c to 128.
Marilyn
Praise the Lord.
Fantastic work!
YES! FEAR IS A FACTOR FOR SURE. KNOWLEDGE IS A GOOD WEAPON.
Your video came up. It sounds great. I will watch next video. I'm stage 4, close to 5 as gfr is 17. I was diagnosed in 11 yrs ago with stage 4 severe ckd. I panicked too for yrs. Dr 's won't recommend diatician-. I'm looking for all help I can find. Thank you. I have not been faithful in what I eat regularly. I'm working harder this yr to eat right. God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon
Mr and Mrs kraftyman I can't thank you enough for these videos! The Story about the kid and the Bible, amazing! You've made a difference in this stubborn old man's life! May God continue to bless and protect you and your family! Can't wait for the book to come out!
Our pleasure. Please let us know if we can help you in any way.
@@mrcraftyman thank you a short prayer would be huge! Keep up the great work! I got the app tonight and will finish setting it up tomorrow! :) Everyday is a gift! And you and you wife have been a gift to me! :) Don't let the Knuckleheads get to you the planets full of us!
Glenn as u know I was devastated 6 weeks ago when I was diagnosed with type 2. It’s a little better now. I know hard work and dedication can get us thru.
Thank you. I’m new to your channel. Not new to CKD but getting serious about it now. I lost my husband last year and I’ve let my health go by the way side for a while. Getting back on track and I also believe God has me here for a reason so I need to take care of the life and body and time remaining that he’s given me. God bless you and your wife. I love the cooking videos.
Thanks again for the info. Just a quick tip for people like me who are diabetic and disabled (I've been a wheelchair user all my life) if you are looking for a way to get exercise especially during the winter months or just don't want Togo to the gymn, I recently got a nintendo wii u. If you are able to move your upper body like me some of the games require you to move and I noticed when I use it my blood sugar goes down some especially if I break a little sweat. Any exercise is better than none.
Good deal my friend. Keep up the good work.
That’s right!
I am so thankful for your video I am 34 and I just went to the doc and they told me I am at stage 3 at 50 gfr I am a mother of a 12, 6, 4 and I was really devastated to hear. I am so thankful for your videos I am making the changes in my lifestyle now bc my kids are the most important than eating bad food. I will follow your videos for all the recipes and also implement the lifestyle for my family so they can also be healthy and won't have to go through this. My cholesterol is a little high but should be able to manage with the diet and exercise, no diabetes or other problems. Thank you again God bless you 🙏
Let me know if you need help
@Mr. Crafty Man I will for sure I need all the help I can get thank you.
@@aracelymaldonado9235 email me at glennjl69@gmail.com with your height, weight, age, and gender.
@@mrcraftyman I did already thank you
I was diagnosed with an egfr of 59 last year at the age of 38. I was obese, had high cholesterol, and was pre-diabetic. In 6 months I lost 43 pounds. Got on myfitnesspal, started drinking 64 ounces of water daily, gave up soda and energy drinks almost entirely, gave up most processed/boxed foods, processed meats and cheeses...6 months later I had an egfr of 84, was no longer obese but still overweight, had normal blood sugar and normal cholesterol. In the 6 months since then I've lost another 12 percent of my body weight and am now normal BMI. I hope to see even more improvement in my sugar, cholesterol and kidney function. I know this is scary but I believe you can reverse this too. Oh and I also prayed really hard with lots of tears. I will pray for you.
Thank you so much ❤️🙏 I have been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease and oh my God I am so scared.....
This is a very inspiring testimony. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Hi Glen, I’m from Doha, Qatar and have been through your 1:04 video a few days back and now this, today. Yesterday I did my blood work and noted that I’m a 3b with creatinine and protein wasting being the prime concern.
Your reference to Jesus and the Bible, is what has stirred me a lot to be able to comit to your kind of lifestyle. Thanks for sharing everything you do and can’t wait for your book to come out. God Bless
I have requested to join your FB page. Please let me in. Many thanks
@@ashleysolomon691 you should be approved now
i can't find the 1:04 video. help
Thank you for all your videos ....I really appreciate your honesty and wisdom regarding vegan diet to help reversing damage to your kidneys...I had Renal Cell Carcinoma in 1992...I have never had a doctor or dietician help me with a diet to reverse damage, etc...I look forward to your book ..Blessings to you and your family, JJ
God bless you as well
Hi Glen, I just watched your video and I looking forward for your plant based cookbook.
It was very inspiring to hear your words of encouragement and also reminding us of the power of our faith.
Take care.
Keep working hard my friend
Awesome video glenn. Thx for ur pointers
My pleasure
Thanks Glenn, from a fellow Veteran with kidney disease as well
I have found great success by praying believing, following the guidelines in the Owner's Manual (KJV) specifically Mark 11:24 then thereafter, when the topic arises in my thoughts, thanking Papa for whatever I prayed about.
Child of God
I am so glad to be in your Facebook group and your RUclips. I am definitely going to download that app and I enjoyed this video.
Thank you!
@@mrcraftyman pls I have been trying to join your Facebook group but has been pending, help so I can join.
Thanks, man, for your guidance. I think “god” is a myth but I DO believe in *you* and other humans who are paving the way forward for us sick folk.
Thank you for your encouraging words. God bless.❤️
I am so excited about the book!
Contrary to popular belief that our kidneys once fully developed will remain the same . Recent scientific research in israel now dicovered that our kidneys keep regenerating n renewing all our lives. This is a 2014 discovery n seems promising. There is hope out there....
Thank you Mr Crafty Man. Your video reached me and I look forward to implementing some of your processes. I’ve subscribed to your channel and I’m looking forward to learning more.
Hi Glenn. I watched your first video some weeks ago now and watched this one today. I am a 70 year old female who has had high blood pressure for years but not treated. i think it was hard to see when with my doctor. My gfr in June was 55. I am on BP med now and following a lot of your findings. Thank you for all your research and sharing it with us. I thank you for sharing your faith with us. God does indeed see and understand. The Bible certainly does describe healthy eating for us. And plants were certainly His original plan. I will continue to be careful with food and not overindulge. All things in moderation!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Very inspiring...thanks for sharing this with us..
Congratulations on your New House!!
🥰
Thanks for the hope!
Praise GOD. you look terrific
Very informative video. You are absolutely right God wants us to present to Him our cares but we have to do our part. Faith without work is dead. I subscribed to your channel and will look forward to your upcoming videos. I am already a member of the fb group.
I am so thankful for your knowledge and for sharing what you have learned and for making these videos for those of us who are finding out we have kidney disease. I can really tell if I eat something that isn't good for my kidneys as the pain is greater then. I have been trying to follow your advice this last month and the diet plan book and I know it is helping me. I did not know where to start because my doctors did not tell me anything. When I was taking so many vitamins before and they told me to cut back a whole lot I didn't know which ones to cut back. My renal doctor said that "one egg has all the vitamins you need in a day". I don't want to go back because she just sat there in the chair and said nothing beneficial other than that and I am not sure if that is correct for us because I am learning that just eating the egg whites is better for kidneys than eating the whole egg. This can be VERY confusing and I don't want to get worse and want to get better like you are. May God's will be done.
Always thank you!
You look Soo good!!! That's great! I need to do your 99 day diet. 😊
Thank you. If you need help, Email me at glennjl69@gmail.com
I am at stage 4 my doctor didn't seem to worry so I go about like always but have noticed changes. I am trying to drink more water what else do I need to do food wise I eat once a day! Help my doctor hasn't done anything but of course I have no insurance
I changed my primary care doctor after i found out by dumb luck , i went to the VA hospital over a backache, the ER DOCTOR told me I had 4-stage CKD . My Primary care doctor never told me anything about how dangerous CKD was over the 2 years time span that my GFR was dropping like rock. , i have gone to 99% plant based diet . i knew about that diet from family who are 7 day adventist
You're absolutely right about the meat. It raises your CREATANINE.
I'm gfr67. I had some beef 2 days ago only a small amount from beef stroganoff, hadn't had any beef for 2 plus years. My left kidney was doing some strange twitching afterwards
Great video thank you
You're very welcome
😂 "I don't want to hear about fix income. " I love it so true. I used to drink (4 years sober now), and it is crazy how much I used to spend on that!
Thank you for the video … just wanted to ask you plz when your gfr was 25 did your body retained water? What symptoms you had plz
I was retaining a bit of water and had protein in my urine
True i have type2 diabetes and sufferring a mulriple complications
I want to join your group but it is asking me to log into Facebook and I am already logged in. I have Stage 3 CKD. I originally was diagnosed with ACUTE END STAGE RENAL FAILURE but I got better and was rediagnosed with Stage 3 CKD. I got off Dialysis.

Does your diet positively affect cholesterol levels?
anyibe with a response would help ,,,,,,,,i was diagnosed with stage 3 with a gfr of 59 about 2 and half years ago and i changed nothing bout my lifestyle because i didnt know i had too,,,,,,,,,,,i blame 10 years of hard coca cola usage for my kidneys , about 2 liters a day with very little water consumtion,,,,,,im go this week for a new gfr but could i have gotten from stage 3 gfr of 59 to stage 4 in a s litttle as 2 1/2 years
It is definitely possible. Let me know how it goes. You can email me at glennjl69@gmail.com
@@mrcraftyman ok thank you, u ever see any research on. Fasting for improvement for CKD
I do hope you don't have anymore bad news. But it's not too late if you do. You know you need to change your diet now so don't beat yourself up about the past. Use your past to inform you for your future on what not to do. Start today...not after your appointment. You don't need those numbers to tell you that you need to change your diet and life style. I was diagnosed with an EGFR of 59 last April. I spent 6 months losing weight, gave up NSAIDS, drinking water, gave up soda and energy drinks, and doing a lot of what this man was doing. 6 months later I was 43 pounds lighter and had an EGFR of 84. I also went from pre-diabetic to normal blood sugar levels. Went from high cholesterol to normal cholesterol, went from obese to over weight. My problem was I drank coffee day in and day out with tons of sugar and creamer and I didn't drink water much at all. I also took NSAIDS due to fibromyalgia. This week I also go in for blood work and am now normal BMI. In 6 months you can likely reverse a lot of your kidney damage too but it's up to you to decide if you want to bad enough.
Hi! I forgot to ask, did you eat blueberries and apples? And what other fruits and vegetables you ate?
Any vitamin supplements? B12,d, etc
Glen, yes thank you for your service to our country.
Is the FB group just about people seeking help. TBH, I don’t have the time to read people’s concerns or ask questions about what to do for their kidney disease. Is there any places of value in the FB group or am I better watching and following YOU on You Tube. Right now, I don’t have the energy to weed through it. I just need the facts and start moving forward.Respectfully, what do you think?
Good question. Basically, the group is over 2,400 people doing my plan and supporting each other. You don't absolutely NEED the group to do this. It is motivational to see their individual successes though.
What's the non diabetic friendly book called? My eGFR is 58 but I'm only 31 years old and I'm not diabetic
At the moment, I am recommending Stopping Kidney Disease Food Guide.
Could you please post a link to this book/guide/product? I want to buy.
I dont know what to do im Filipina i need more info about CKD stage4b idont like to be in dialysis
I am also trying the OZONE MED To heal ny kidneys
But its too expensive here i really need help to have job again and earn im praying and hopibg that totally healing is righ here
Great advice relating to Prayer and God. God always answer prayers and it may not be when you want it but its always on time. or how you expect it but its better than you ever planned. thanks for sharing all you are sharing.
Thank you so much for your videos above all God's word supercede all but then faith without works is dead thanks so much for educating us this disease when diagnosed with it can be very scary only with faith in God and putting in effort our prayers must surely be answered
Thanks you Robina
I really need to know what to eat riggt and what to avoid eating
Mr. Krafty man you brought your GFR rate from 25 upto 66 , Can I ask how long it took you to do this ?
25 to 67 in 90 days
@@mrcraftyman how often do you go the rest room to urinate with that quantity of water ?
@@Chrisema 3 to 4 times per day.
I downloaded Yuka but all it says is slide to continue but it won't let me slide it. Did I not download it right or do I have to pay somewhere??
You don't absolutely have to pay, but you get quite a few extra options if you do. You can however choose how much you would like to pay.
What is strange is the app hasn't asked for payment of any kind - it just won't let me use it. lol
@@jeanduttlinger No, it doesn't until you hit the search button.

What time of day do you have the albutrix and any other supplementation to the plant based meals?
With each meal
I have Acute Kidney Disease caused by Contrast Dye from a stent procedure. I went from 38 plunging to 11 where I am now. I don't know if I have a chance or not.

Hi Glenn, I am revisiting your videos. Could you please tell me if you had Protein in your Urine and if that had excellent changes too after you had been on your plan for 6 months ?
Yes, I did. Now I have none.
@@mrcraftyman , Fantastic Glenn !!!
Iam ckd level 3 the problem is my body is weak when I make a activity like walking about 500m, I should take a rest a while and then continue.
Do whatever you are capable of doing. Anything is better than nothing.
im doing dialysis for past 2 .5 yrs. how much should i drink water
I dr8nk 1/5 oz per pound of body weight
Glenn, you are certainly doing the Lord's work through your experience and videos. I will continue to thank you for sharing your journey and recipes. It is truly appreciated and motivating. Thank you truly for all that you do!! May you and your family continue to be blessed!🙏🙏💕
I tried joining your group and I was declined. Thanks anyway. Take care
The only reasons for being declined would be failing to answer the group questions OR, Facebook algorithm will auto decline you if your account is new.
I understand the pure hell.
Oh yes. Very terrifying. A true sense of impending doom.
Any one pls give me the name of the book and writer
The book is for recipes only. We do not use the techniques in the book. It is called Stopping Kidney Disease Food Guide
Its true i really panic ..
Im would like to be added to the Facebook group. I am stage 4 would love to be in the group.
I also need the supplements?
Kidney Restore is the only "supplement " Albutrix is not a supplement. It's medical food.
WOW!!! i just downloaded the YUKA app. I just threw away Water and Almond Milk

Im an asian, does rice can be included in my diet. I have stage 3. 🤔😔
Dont eat to much carbo, carbo make a sugar in your blood, he talk vegetables only in his meal. Iam ckd level 3 also. Iam on diet protein dan no carbo. Just 45g protein from fish, vegetables low kalium and strawberry for my fruits
Maybe you can try pasta that is made with veggies like spinach and lentils.
@@gloriaa.garcia3985 @Gloria A. Garcia spinach make your gout rise coz have high purines. On ckd high purines is not alowed
He said he eats konjac rice.
@@nicm3155 Hi, I have gone with the advice of 2 dieticians they told me it's alright. I'm not diabetic, I'm not having any problems with the uric acid, & can have a modest serving of lentil pasta. I tend to eat more of spinach and carrot pasta. Thanks.
What causes the kidney disease?
I am told mine was caused by ibuprofen over the years and low sodium.
Obesity
Diabetes
High blood pressure
Medications
Genetics sometimes
Illness and/or injury can too if I remember right....Covid has lead to a lot of new kidney disease diagnosis.
Sitting all day long without moving around is also strongly linked to kidney disease, especially when obese. Obesity and lack of movement restrict blood flow to the kidneys and they slowly die off without you even feeling it.
@@frugalsquirrel1725 hmm. ok, thx
I ordered that book and I was disappointed in the recipes. So I will loss the book.
As i mentioned. The guy did not write it for diabetics. Substitutions must be made in ingredients.
@@mrcraftyman I see, and I agree.
Helllppp plss
Glenn. You were in stage 4 ckd. Did you have alot of Symptoms like lower back pain or being cold, feeling sick? If so, how long did it take to go away?
I had protein in my urine and sore lower back. Within 90 days, things had almost improved to normal. In 10 months, everything WAS normal and I was told I nonlonger had kidney disease.
@mrcraftyman thanks Glenn. Honestly your videos giving me hope and God are the only things that's keeping from jumping off a bridge in despair. I'm not sure what stage I'm in but I know it's a later stage. I have an appointment with my doctor Monday for tests. I'm scared it might be too late. Thank you for your videos
@mrcraftyman concerned there's to much scar tissue to improve. I'm only 34 years old.
@@CODEBlACKBIRD My friend, it definitely doesn't hurt to try.
