Summary: <p>Today I’m going to share some important information related to chronic kidney disease. </p> <p><br></p> <p>10% of cases of end-stage renal disease are related to polycystic kidney disease. Polycystic kidney disease has mainly been thought of as a genetic problem, and until fairly recently, many people thought you couldn’t do much about genetic diseases. But it turns out that you can. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Some of the top warning signs of polycystic kidney disease are increased risk of infection, urinary bleeding, reduced function of the kidneys, and high blood pressure. </p> <p><br></p> <p>A recent study done on mice found that the ketogenic diet halted and reversed polycystic kidney disease in the mice. They also found that time-restricted eating created a similar effect. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Another study found that the keto diet may reduce the risk of kidney stones as long as the person is also on a low-oxalate diet. Along with keto and consuming low-oxalate foods, consuming enough water may help reduce the risk of kidney stones. </p> <p><br></p> <p>In the study on polycystic kidney disease, they found that the cysts absorb glucose and are dependent on glucose. Glucose can contribute to other kidney issues as well. </p> <p><br></p> <p>A low-carb diet and fasting are both great ways to get your body to start making ketones. You can also take ketones. </p> <p><br></p> <p>The best natural remedies for kidney problems:</p> <p> • Curcumin </p> <p> • Resveratrol </p> <p> • EGCG (in green tea)</p> <p> • Quercetin </p> <p> • Berberine </p> <p><br></p> <p>What I would do for chronic kidney disease: </p> <p>1. Take the above natural remedies </p> <p>2. Go on a low-oxalate keto diet </p> <p>3. Do intermittent fasting </p> <p><br></p>
