kidneys/salt

I have a friend who is completely and totally brainwashed by the AMA doctors, and they are about to kill him. They are telling him that he is going to have to go on dialysis soon and may need a kidney transplant. They have him on a plethora of medications and it appears to be for nothing whatsoever because he is really sick.

His ankles look like an elephant. He is puffy and soft all over. He is way over weight, and has trouble losing because he isn't getting the right kind of nutrition. He eats NO salt. His skin is dry. He has high blood pressure, diabetes, and I don't know what all. I could go on and on. I keep telling him that he needs salt. And he is obviously iodine deficient too.

But he is afraid that salt will further damage his kidneys and the doctors have convinced him not to eat any at all. If any of you can point me in the direction of some common sense articles that will help him restore his kidneys and get well I will forward the info to him. Thanks.
