For a number of years now, I have searched high and low for just ONE case of anyone's kidneys being healed after stage 5 kidney failure is present. In fact, I have yet to read of ONE report of kidneys being cured BY ANY MEANS from any stage of kidney failure.
I have read numerous claims by some, but I have yet to see ONE report from a REPUTABLE SOURCE that corraborates and supports any of these claims. No scientific, medical data or any positive results from anywhere that has been documented after extensive research and examination.
Also, if there were ever a case of kidney failure being reversed, it would be front-page news on every paper on the planet.
The fact is, renal failure means your kidneys are finished and there is no drug, no treatment, no herb or herbal concoction or prayer that will bring them back to life.
It is very important for a renal patient to accept this as fact and to get on with the business of doing their best to maintain and improve their quality of life, however limited it may have become.
The typical tactic of the charlatan is to offer, to guarantee a complete cure, as long as you follow their regimen to the letter and oh yes, pay them, (usually) a large sum of money.
When I was first diagnosed I was full of fluid, (14 litres was drained from my body after I was finally hospitalised)-
I was resistant to western medical methods and so, I tried chinese medicine, first. A professor at a highly reputable college (of traditional chinese medicine) took me on as a patient. His wife was also a practicioner of chinese medicine, as well as a certified physician.
When her husband couldn't find a way to stop the fluid from building up in me, he called his wife to examine me. She told me that her uncle had developed a herbal pill that could save my life. She also told me that it was my only chance to live and that I would die for certain if I did not consider her offer.
She wanted one thousand dollars a month, for three months, from me.
I went to the hospital, finally, and gave in to the western methods. I am very glad I did. So is my family.
I probably would have died if I had taken her offer. By then, she would have the money and the signed consent form to keep her from liability, of course.
Beware of the snake oil salesmen, friends. They have a much wider audience now, than ever before, so we must be vigilant and very careful about who and what we trust our lives with.
take care!

I am not saying this study is true or would work for you but have you seen this study?
from Newsmax.com
Baking Soda Could Stop Kidney Disease
A daily dose of baking soda, the common kitchen staple used for cooking, cleaning, and treating indigestion, could dramatically slow the progression of disease in patients with chronic kidney disease. British scientists say the white powder, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is so effective that it could spare patients from having to undergo dialysis.
“It's amazing,” said study leader Magdi Yaqoob, renal medicine professor at the Royal College of London. “This is the first randomized controlled study of its kind. Baking soda is not classed as a drug so this study has never been tried before.”
Researchers studied 134 patients with kidney disease. One group received a small dose of sodium bicarbonate in addition to their regular care. The patients were followed for one year. At the end of the study, only 9 percent of the group taking baking soda showed a rapid progression of their disease, compared with 45 percent of those who did not.
In addition, those taking baking soda were much less likely to progress to end-stage renal disease and require dialysis. In fact, the rate of their decline in kidney function was similar to the normal decline seen with aging.
“A simple remedy like sodium bicarbonate, when used appropriately, can be very effective,” Yaqoob said.
According to Yaqoob, baking soda prevents inflammation in kidneys by limiting the production of ammonia.
“This study shows baking soda can be useful for people with kidney failure,” Yaqoob said. “This cheap and simple strategy also improves patients’ nutritional well-being and has the potential to improve quality of life and of course a clinical outcome that can remove the need for dialysis.”

thank you, my friend, yes, i have seen this article.
it reminds me of other articles i have read in the past with the main item (in this case, baking soda)instead of aloe vera, garlic, vitamin E and all the other substances that were advertised as a 'miraculous cure' for a host of conditions at one time or another.
it is perfectly understandable that in a country with such a lame health care system that people would be compelled to seek alternative methods of healing, outside of the limited access they have should they actually have insurance of some kind.
i am waiting for more information regarding the patients this study spoke of, research and perhaps, if the truly scientific method is followed, there will be similar tests in an attempt to obtain the same results. then, it might be worth considering.
in the meantime, i will simply take the attitude that makes most sense to me; 'if it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't.'
thanks again!
