so in this video I’m going to answer a

question that someone wanted to know can

Quito actually reverse kidney disease

out of all the things that destroy the

kidney insulin and high sugar is at the

top of the list this is why so many

diabetics are getting kidney disease

high levels of glucose and insulin

create oxidative damage to four tissues

the brain and nerve tissue I’m

considering it as one the heart and

vessels the eye and the kidney the

kidney is very susceptible to oxidative

damage from high blood sugar and high

insulin now there was a very interesting

study that I put a link down below you

can check it out it was done for eight

weeks it was unwise but it showed a

complete reversal of the elbe Yuman

creatine ratio okay

using the ketogenic diet because beta

hydroxy butyrate which is at a ketone

not only can provide an alternative fuel

but it has some real interesting

benefits to the kidney including the big

one which is decreasing oxidative stress

so Kido basically can counter the damage

and destruction from a high carb diet

and in just eight weeks there was a

partial recovery of kidney damage so I’d

be curious to see if they did it longer

what would happen

ketones by itself go beyond just

providing an alternative fuel they

actually have therapeutic benefits as

well there’s different levels of damage

to the kidney different stages okay

stage 1 2 3 4 5 which is end-stage renal

failure and in this stage the kidney

which is a filter just could no longer a

filter anymore can’t filter the blood so

you’re gonna have excessive amounts of

certain nutrients and deficiencies of

other nutrients so if you’re at this

stage you need to check with your doctor

because you can’t just supplement too

much potassium for example but what I

want to talk about is before you get to

this stage okay I hear this all the time

oh I can’t take potassium because it’s

dangerous to the kidney

the true data is that potassium can

actually protect the kidney against

damage I’ll put some links down below

you can check that out so it’s totally

okay to take potassium in we need 4700

milligrams every single day now if

you’re doing in a minute fasting okay

you’ll need less the requirements go

down because you’re recycling and you’re

you’re becoming more efficient with your

minerals and other nutrients but

potassium is very very beneficial for

the kidney the other problem that people

run into when the kidney becomes damaged

is protein in the body you have a

protein deficiency and you actually end

up filling up with fluid you’re getting

edema and taking certain oral amino

acids can slow down the progression of

kidney damage okay so check with your

doctor on that I’ve put some links down

below for just the research that you can

give your doctor if you need to so if

you really look at what’s happening to

the kidney you have all this glucose

this refined carb the sugar the insulin

it’s destroying the kidney function but

those complications from that oxidation

occur more when there’s not enough

nutrients so it’s very very important to

prevent this problem by consuming

nutrient-dense foods

it’s the nutrients in the food that

protect against the side effects and the

complications of the oxidation and you

definitely want to be on a low-carb diet

for sure this is very very beneficial

for the kidney itself so ultimately the

goal is to prevent this problem if

you’re already at stage 5 work with your

doctor to see what you can eat what you

can’t eat but I would try to follow a

healthy keto plan and in a minute

fasting as closely as possible but there

are certain types of foods that you’re

gonna have to avoid and realize that you

do not have to avoid potassium if you’re

in these earlier stages alright thanks
