Bought GFR up 2 points in one week (continuous updates in my review below????????????????)
"I had been diagnosed with stage 4 going into stage 5 CKD back in late August 2022 with a GFR of 17% , and I was frantically looking for natural supplements to help me since most kidney doctors don't speak highly of herbs thanks to "big pharma", and so I started taking cranberry kidney cleanse pills by sunergetic and so in September my GFR was 14%, and so I had been taking the cranberry pills about 3 weeks at that point in September and so still being worried if those pills were working then I searched and saw the kidney restore pills by healthy kidney inc and ordered those and received the pills the next day, and so by the following Thursday I got more blood work done and my GFR went up 2 points to 16% within 1 week of taking the kidney restore pills! I was shocked and so now I've been working on my diet very closely and just recently started eating more plant based, and so I'm looking forward to what my future numbers will show, I've been taking the kidney restore pills for 3 months now and I've been noticing a difference in the way I feel, my urine has less bubbles in it, overall it's a slow and steady process and just taking things one day at a time.
UPDATE 12/21/22
Just a couple of days ago, I had given my testimony of the kidney restore pills, and it was abbreviated and like I mentioned in the previous part of my review I started taking the kidney restore pills and within a week of taking them my GFR went up from 14% to 16% within a week, but I was drinking too much fluid at that time and had to go to the hospital not knowing that I was drinking too much fluid for my kidneys so the doctors put me on lasix in the hospital to get fluid off and it brought my function down to 12% a few days later, so I left the hospital and a week a later I had a doctor's check up and my function had went up to 13% I was still taking the kidney restore, and the doctors prescribed me toursemide which is a water pill but it can be hard on the kidneys so I looked up and found dandelion pills which is a natural diuretic, so I started off taking 3 pills which is the recommended amount but then I went up to 5 which was too much for me, so I went to get bloodwork done at another place just to check my progress and my function had went down to 12%, and after thinking hard about it, I wondered if I was taking too much dandelion, so I cut back down to 3 and a week later went to the doctor which was yesterday and got blood work done and to my surprise my GFR rebounded to 12% to 15%! A 3 point increase within 5 days!
, my creatinine had went from 3.66 to 3.29 which is a .42 point drop within 2 months which was the last time I saw my doctor in October, my BUN was 66 in October now its 29, that is a 37 point drop within 2 months and now I'm just 4 points away from the normal BUN range, so I have cut out all meat and am eating vegetables( broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and Keto Culture white bread) plenty of fiber (the Benefiber healthy shape fiber) on all of my food and plant based cream cheese and plant based butter lightly only on my toast occasionally, and making sure my high blood pressure and sugar levels are down (I'm taking some natural supplements for blood pressure and blood sugar too along with my prescription medication) I also decreased the number of dandelion extract pills I was taking for water retention, I was taking 5 pills which was pulling too much water from my kidneys and cut back to 3 pills and within 5 days of my results I saw a difference, I just wanted to update this wonderful news for all CKD sufferers across the 5 stages , diet and the right supplements makes a big difference, I will update this review as further changes come about.
Update 2/28/23
GFR: 16% (up 1 point in 2 months)
Creatinine: 3.13 ( versus 3.24 in December)
BUN: 14 (now normal)
I am on the low protein diet, I have cut out all meat, and eat plenty of fiber (Benefiber healthy shape fiber) sprinkled over my kidney friendly fruits and veggies plus the Metamucil cookies after each meal and the Metamucil gummies, I eat cauliflower, broccoli and brussel sprouts, onions, bell pepper, Mrs.Dash for seasoning, NO SALT, also keep your Blood pressure under control, I take kyolic garlic cardiovascular and immune brand for blood pressure and it works on my BP, and 1 cup of chopped celery everyday to also help with BP and also make sure to keep blood sugar under control, and loose the weight, I also take dandelion for fluid retention, it works, make sure to watch your fluid intake especially when you have lower GFR numbers because you can gain weight with alot of fluid, and keep in mind that you can't go back to your old eating habits once CKD is under control, I'm still working my way up to get to normal but it should be a way of life on what you eat, things that are kidney friendly!
Update **6 month doctors checkup 6/22/23**
GFR- 19 (up 4 pts from December checkup and 3 pts up from test done at another facility in February.)
Creatinine- 2.72 ( 1.67 pts away from within the normal range 1.05 - 0.50 )
BUN- 19 (normal)
I'm still following the renal diet, eating kidney friendly foods, taking the kidney restore pills, the kidney D pills and the pure kidney pills all of these pills are by healthy kidney inc.
Also, keeping my blood sugar under control with insulin, and keeping my blood pressure under control with kyolic garlic cardiovascular and immune brand pills, and eating a cup of chopper celery every morning, and still eating plenty of fiber, all of these measures are definitely helping!"
