Hi from Connecticut 🙏 🙏
Hi from Oxford UK.
Very good but for someone who has mild ckd without diabetes or metabolic syndrome and not overweight: what then?
Paul Salidino would absolutely wipe the floor with vegan YouTuber Earthling Ed in a debate on healthcare and food systems.
Excellent talk! Wonderful to hear a real patient success story. There is hope!!
I would have loved to know if any of your Stage 5 CKD patients ever experienced an increase in GFR, and if so, how long did that take and on average, how much?
How about a diet for someone who has undergone kidney stones surgery twice?
That’s an amazing doc. Thank you.
Dr, Fung also gets the patient’s to fast as well ,
This was me too! I had normal blood sugars, high blood pressure and stage 3 CKD when I was first diagnosed 15 years ago. 2 1/2 years keto lifestyle and all my meds de-prescribed and kidney function is in the normal range
Problem is my nephrologist is NOT curious what I did to make the change.
