today I want to share some really

important information related to chronic

kidney disease chronic kidney disease is

mainly made up by several types of

problems with the kidney one would be

just chronic kidney disease in general

which is usually or mostly caused from

diabetes okay and then you have another

type of kidney disease called polycystic

kidney disease I’m going to be talking

about that and then you have another

problem with the kidney which relates to

kidney stones we’ll mention that as well

so if you have any of these problems

this video is for you and you definitely

want to watch it because I want to share

some new information new research on

this topic when someone has end-stage

renal disease ten percent of the time

it’s going to be related to this

polycystic kidney disease and that’s a

situation where you have all these

fluid-filled sacs around the kidney it

kind of takes over and then the more

cyst you have the less ability for you

to filter and then now you can’t filter

a protein so that starts going up in the

blood and you start getting fluid

retention and you get a lot of problems

and polycystic kidney disease is mainly

thought of as a genetic problem and

until recently like 2019 the thought was

you really can’t do anything about

genetic diseases but you actually can

and this is actually quite fascinating

because if someone has these cysts that

are overwhelming the kidney pretty much

they’re just going to have to wait until

they get on dialysis or they get a

kidney transplant there just wasn’t any

non-toxic solution and and this is the

problem with the kidney and the liver

especially

drugs tend to add more toxicity to these

organs and so there’s too many side

effects so with the polycystic kidney

disease you have increased risk of

infection you have urinary bleeding you

have reduced function of the kidney

which the kidney is a filter and it

filters out the blood and the person

usually has high blood pressure so in

2019 there was a study done that found

that the ketogenic diet actually halted

and reversed polycystic kidney disease

in mice and so if you have a pet mouse

or a gerbil or a rat that has this

polycystic kidney disease problem

definitely go low carb but they also

found that time restricted eating which

is basically intermittent fasting also

created a similar effect it slowed down

the progression of the cysts developing

in the kidney and the associated

fibrosis or the scar tissue that then

comes after it was also found found that

the ketogenic diet reduces the risk of

kidney stones as long as the person’s on

a low oxalate diet oxalates are things

that contribute to kidney stones and

they’re in the spinach the almonds the

chocolate kiwi but as long as you avoid

those things and you’re on the ketogenic

diet and you’re drinking enough water

like 2.5 liters at least a fluid per day

I think you’re going to be in pretty

good shape this is what they found in

the study okay and I want to really make

sure you get this one point these cysts

that are developing in the kidney are

absorbing glucose and then of course

with the glucose comes the water so

these cysts are fluid-filled sacs that

have water in them and of course when

they absorb water they get bigger but

the surprising thing that they found and

so if you checked out checked back in

right now because this is the most

important part of the video is this

these cysts not only absorb glucose but

they are dependent on glucose in other

words they can only grow if they have

glucose and of course because this was a

medical paper they went on to say that

maybe drug companies can come up with a

drug to block glucose to help reduce

this polycystic kidney disease of course

I have a different Viewpoint why don’t

we just not consume glucose in the diet

okay go on a low carb diet because it’s

been found that the ketogenic diet May

improve this condition so that’s pretty

interesting because if you can block

sugar or avoid sugar you can actually

shrink these cysts and then of course I

got to thinking there’s cyst in the

other parts of the body too you have

cyst in the liver and you even have

Baker cysts that could be in the back of

the knee and I’ve already experienced if

you get the person off sugar those tend

to go away but then I actually kind of

looked at the cyst in the liver and I

found that one remedy for that is

metformin what does metformin do it

actually has to do with regulating blood

sugar by improving insulin resistance

another interesting Association and you

can even improve the assist by taking

key challenge so apparently ketones are

pretty powerful in dealing with these

cysts which which make a lot of sense

since they’re dependent on glucose and

the only way your body can generate

ketones is if you lower insulin and

lower glucose but apparently you can

even take ketones which I’m not

recommending but that’s one way to

reduce these cysts now there’s actually

three ways to get ketones in the body

one is a low carb diet the other is to

take ketones and the Third Way is to

fast forcing your body to make ketones

from your own fat and so apparently

fasting strongly inhibits the fibrosis

or scar tissue that are associated with

these cysts as well as inhibiting

something called m tour now what is mtor

mtor is something in the body that can

trigger the growth of cancer tumors and

even cysts so anything that reduces mtor

is a really good thing especially if you

have kidney problems and fasting is a

potent stimulator but there’s some other

things too curcumin also reduces mtor

Resveratrol will also reduce it and the

egcg in green tea as well as quercetin

and berberine these are all potent

natural remedies to lower mtor to help

kidney cysts but what about other types

of kidney disease chronic kidney disease

well the majority of that is caused by

the same thing glucose because the root

cause of this is definitely diabetes so

anything related to high sugar like

whether you have a pre-diabetic

situation or even insulin resistance

could contribute to a worsening of the

kidney function there’s an interesting

protein I won’t get into the biochemical

name but there’s an interesting protein

that triggers another protein that then

kind of goes round and round and round

that leads to damage in the kidney and

I’m going to put down the link down

below of a new discovery of an inhibitor

of that specific protein that they’re

actually using a drug to do it to

potentially halt or stop kidney disease

so this protein that they’re trying to

inhibit is called

trpc5 not that you needed to know that

but I did a search on if there’s any

Inhibitors to this protein and I found

that there is curcumin and Resveratrol

so if you have chronic kidney disease

regardless of what caused it this is

what I would do I would definitely take

these phytonutrients from these herbs I

would also go on a low oxalate ketogenic

diet so you’re not taking too many

almonds or spinach or almond flour or

you know kiwis and if you added

intermittent fasting with that you’d

come up with a really good program to

take those cysts or take whatever damage

in the kidney you have and hopefully

bring it in the reverse anyway I wanted

to share that information with you

especially if you have a kidney problem

or know of a person who has a problem

and if you hear anywhere that the

ketogenic diet is really bad for the

kidneys I think you should watch this
