Hello. I have found such an incredible sea of good info in this site, a lot of which I have used and has helped me in many respects. This is why I come here to ask about my motherīs current situation.

She is 75 and has less than 3% of the function of one of her kidneys. She has been diabetic for many, many years. Now she is having hemodyalisis since about a year and a half ago. Recently she began to have water in her lungs and very swollen legs. A doctor said that she should have protein to eliminate water from her body. Since she couldnīt eat all what they prescribed for the protein, I advised her to have Spiruline which she is having one table spoon a day. She says her legs are getting better but little by little, but not her lungs (I donīt live in the same city).

She has always been kind of agains the hemo. She was having it twice a week and then she changed to once because she couldnīt take it. About a month ago she began to feel very weak, and then began to recover a bit when she skipped one week of hemo. Then she went to have the hemo yesterday and said she didnīt feel as bad after it, but then today she began to feel very weak again.

She doesnīt trust alopats but doesnīt have a good alternative doctor to guide her. She is a bit abandoned in the medical sense because of this. Could somebody give some advise about this? We live in Mexico and donīt have a lot of money, the bad thing now is that even alternative doctors charge a lot of money. But some direction good be of great help to us.

THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE.

:-)
