Low Carb may have utility in Kidney Disease

[ianf0ster]

Article in Journal of Renal Nutrition cites 20 references agreeing with what Dr David Unwin GP found in his own T2Diabetic patients on LCHF.

Low carb may have utility in kidney disease: "Results of a single-center randomized controlled trial addressing the rate of CKD progression revealed a 57% slower decline in renal function with the keto-diet compared with a conventional low-protein diet (LPD). The keto-diet allowed the safe management of selected patients with stage 4-5 CKD, delaying dialysis for almost 1 year, with a major impact on patient quality of life and health expenditures" https://jrnjournal.org/article/S1051-2276(13)00056-3/abstract

Interesting @ianf0ster, my brother has cardiomyopathy after 3 cardiac arrests from which he was extremely lucky to survive. 90% of people never survive this. He has an Internal defibrillator fitted. This left him with lots of other problems including some kidney damage - I think he is stage 3 or 4. His cardiologist & rest of his team seem to be very forward thinking and he was advised to change his diet to OMAD with 1 snack low carb normal fat & protein and he seems to be doing very well on it 5 years later with everything stable

What if healing just involved removing the factors that cause disease?
