Stopping Kidney Disease: A science based treatment plan to use your doctor, drugs, diet and exercise to slow or stop the progression of incurable kidney disease
Stopping Kidney Disease is the most comprehensive guide to understanding how your kidneys work and how to make your remaining kidney function last as long as possible. The book includes over 500 pages with hundreds of medical studies to document each part of the diet and treatment plan. As a patient trying to cure an incurable kidney disease, Lee Hull was not allowed access to a potential life-saving treatment when other patients had access to the same medicine/supplement. He found that outcomes for a kidney patient vary widely dependent on the country and even state you live in. Lee was able to put his kidney disease in remission by using the treatment plan and diet in Stopping Kidney Disease. He decided to write this book and share what he has learned after living successfully with incurable kidney disease for over twenty years. Lee believes everyone deserves the right to try and stop an incurable disease regardless of where you live or your net worth. The project Kidneyhood.org is trying to provide education and innovation to help kidney patients worldwide slow the progression of their disease.Related health book, renal diet book, chronic kidney disease, healthy kidneys, davita dialysis,
If your doctor said your kidney function is dropping and you need to reduce salt intake, you need this book! Sodium is but one part of kidney decline. Everything I was doing I thought would help turned out to worsen the problem. The author used medical studies to show fighting kidney disease requires a multi-prong approach most doctors don’t explain. Educate yourself because chances are your doctor won’t until they say, “If your numbers drop much lower, you’ll need dialysis.” Since reading and following Lee’s plan, my filtration rate is steady for the first time in twelve years.
The product Albutrix is woven into the book and I'm leary of combining science and commerce. The format of case studies and conclusions makes it easier to follow along and breaks up the information. Diet and exercise win again.
I believe in a plant based diet and follow it at around 85%. It’s good to know I’m on the right track. I’ve been stage 3 and now I’m stage 2. I’m planning to reread this and apply more principles with the goal of being stage 1.
For anyone dealing with comorbidities this plan is a common sense approach to peeling them off and doing away with them. Two weeks in and blood sugar is lowest it’s been in years, weight is dropping off and energy is returning.
For the average person, the scientific abstracts are overwhelming. Way too much information . Just tell the reader what to eat and what other changes need to be made.
This book is way overly verbose. That's true. It's apparently self-published, no editorial oversight, but there is good info in it -- and some to be skeptical of and verify elsewhere, too. Get a highlighter or stick-on markers for parts you want to try or find out more about and skim for those.
It is a complicated disease and related to heart problems, too, so books that are mostly lists and recipes or meal plans are the ones more to be distrusted. (Although meal plans greatly irritate me -- who would want to be that regimented by someone else's ideas?)
I would have rated it 4 stars except for the overwhelming length and the promo of treatments he apparently sells.
Lee hull has written an accessible a highly researched program for those suffering with kidney disease. I've gained huge insights and, most importantly, an action plan and motivation to see it through. I'm looking forward to getting more involved in Lee's kidney movement. Left improve our lives and our world!
Well documented investigation into CKD by a patient, which is quite amazing. Apparently, with no medical background the author delved into scientific evidence backing his wellness plan. Since the plan worked for him, it is convincing for other CKD patients like myself. The detail got somewhat boring for me, so I skipped over some parts.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has been diagnosed with kidney disease. It is technical at times but the information provided by Led Hull ( a kidney patient himself) is clear and to the point. Well worth the investment in time and money.
