After a year of applying the advice in your videos and doing a healthy keto diet, I just got my first normal kidney blood test results in 3 years. Thank you, Dr. Berg!
Wow , please would you mind telling me more as I have been diagnosed stage 3 CKD 6 months back. What was your gfr and what is now? What do u meant by normal kidney test result ? Has it reversed fully?
@@muqeetamjad8025 Forgot to answer your question. By normal kidney test results I mean that the creatinine and eGFR levels were within normal parameters set by the diagnostic lab.
@@SandraHof I have been diagnosed stage 3 CKD and need some motivation to start keto. Please would you mind sharing your creatinine and Egfr before starting keto and what it has become after doing keto. I shall be thankful to you . Have a nice and healthy life ahead. 😇
@@muqeetamjad8025 I am very sorry you have stage 3 CKD. I hope this information can help! The lab here cites normal levels as 44-80. Here are my numbers: In 2017 eGFR 47.25, Creatinine 103.00, in 2018 eGFR 46.57, Creatinine 104.00, in 2019 eGFR 52.81, Creatinine 93.00, in 2020 eGFR 54.68, Creatinine 90.00, in July 2021 eGFR 65.26, Creatinine 77.00. I changed my diet to vegan/vegetarian in early 2019 at the suggestion of my acupuncturist, because of a difficult health problem. But a year later in early 2020 I added meat back to my diet. As the year went on I changed to keto. So I have done keto now for a year. In 2019 I also eliminated sugar from my diet. My kidney problem was very mild. But I still had to see a nephrologist twice a year. I really hope keto can help you! Dr Berg’s and Dr Eckberg’s videos are very helpful for me. Best wishes to you!
@@SandraHof your issue wasn't as problematic as I have and you made a good recovery alhumdulilah. Your lab normal range is 44-80 it means you already has a good egfr or may be it is called stage 1 ,am I right? How your life is now and did you have protein or blood in urine? Thank you for your kind response.
My 8 year old has kidney disease. He is on his third year with a transplant but it is failing. I have noticed these signs within him especially the nausea and vomiting. He will likely end up on dialysis soon or need another transplant. ☹️ I wish everyone realized how important the kidneys are.
I'm so sorry to hear. Yeah transplants are no cure unfortunately. They are really just another form of 'treatment '. Maybe he can get another before he needs dialysis. I have a friend and he had his 15 yrs. So maybe your sons next one will last longer. 😇 I don't think anybody understands what kidneys are responsible for until they've lost all function. And then it still doesn't sink in with some. Quite the powerful organs.
The good GOD of all creations will heal your little man in JESUS name. GOD, the name of JESUS, heal Korynn's son speedily. Ameeeeen! Believe GOD and it shall be well with you.
The problem might be in the gut, try checking that. I started having gut problems and they affected my kidneys thus if there is an unresolved problem in the gut he will continue to have kidney issues. Pay to God, a mother's prayer is much more powerful than anything.
My twin brother had kidney disease . Never drank smoked or ate unhealthy . I think it was caused by all the antipsychotic drugs he was prescribed as a schizophrenic.
I'm really sorry!! That's really sad. I got diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and they gave me Lithium for awhile, but I got off of it pretty quickly because I could literally feel my kidneys hurting, among a bunch of other terrible side effects. And I have been on Antipsychotics before and the side effects are fucking terrible! So glad I'm off of those.
I like that you are explaining to the audience on how to use natural resources to mend our health and body. I'm a believer in that philosophy too. Thanks doc!
Dr. Berg, you’ve saved my life with all of your videos. I was drinking too much Coke and destroying my body. I was always late with my period. Thanks to your videos, I was able to go gluten free and vegetarian. My period is regular now and I’m also losing weight without even trying. Bless your soul for all that you’ve done for me through these videos.
I have kidney failure stage 5 they put a cath tube graf in my arm an it stopped working it is known I have bad veins so now no dr is counting the numbers they are going by my symptoms so far been in hosp five times in 7weeks for ivs slowly cause they don’t like using them So in stuck CANT walks in bed five yrs now have ILEOSTOMY an colostomy since I was ten yrs old they are 58 yrs old fro John Hopkins I’m scared they say even if go to Hopkins again nothing has changed an when I come home I will have same drs cause they were picked by Hopkins they at least my dialslsis dr is good question others so I a 68 yrs old with a husband who is sometime waiting for heart operation So we sure need you here in Hanover pa
If you're watching this you already know Allopathic medicine only treats symptoms and not the root cause of the problem, the big pharma corporations and the current medical industry is designed on this concept. Preventative medicine practices like, Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Unani practices are the only way forward for humanity as has been for thousands of years. Dr Berg is leading the way in bringing awareness to the masses! Thank you Dr Berg!
The whole allopathic system benefits only the big pharma, never the poor patients. Moreover there isn't much scientific about it either. It's mostly pseudo-science.
My mum just passed away due to kidney failure cause by diabetic. No one telling us that she should cut off all carbs since 30 years ago. All the doctors only ask her to lower her crabs and sugar intake instead of eliminate it! She was so struggling with kidney failure problem for many years. Hope this video is not too late for others kidney patien. IF and Keto diet really will make you get healthy
I had most, if not all symptoms but I decided to make changes to my eating habits. Lost 50lbs. The information given here encourages me to keep going because I don't want to go down that same route again. Thanks doc!
@@shananmatthew6778 thank you for asking. I feel feel great! I had all symptoms except for vomiting. I have also watched your videos about the liver and even there I see a big difference in the way I feel now. Actually watching one of your videos about the liver encouraged me to make the decision to eat healthier. I realized that I was slowly killing myself. Thank for all the information you put you videos. God bless. Question: How long does it take for kidneys to get to a healthy stage from this early signs of kidney disease stage you showed in this video?
Again, another invaluable clip shared by the most generous, Dr. Berg!! Thank you, Dr. Berg, for sharing another on point, straight to the core, informative video clip on how to live a better live when it comes to our health. I learned a lot since discovered you here, for free, than what I've been advised by my periodic Dr visits with payments. You're a blessing to many of us. God bless!
@@MrMakingwavesmedia and what makes you think you know all the rules, commandments on how to get to Heaven then? Who is your God? Or if you claim to be the One that knows all things in this world, let alone the universe. If nothing better, please quiet yourself, fellow mortal sinner. May God bless you.
Thank you for this, perfect timing. I have been doing keto with a little IF for over 2 years, but slipped into more proteins, than I should be eating. I lost 40 lbs, but couldn't get any further. I am 63, and no gall bladder. Just had blood tests, and I'm up to stage 3 now with my kidneys and my glucose levels/A1C were up since last test 8 mo. ago.. I have been no sugar, very low carbs for all this time, but I read that too much protein can cause the glucotoxicity also. (I think this is the word) I am going to start taking bile salts, doing longer IF (20/4) and cut back to 5 oz protein per day. I will also get the supplement you mentioned here. I do get my veges every day in a big salad with good oil too. Thank you and God bless you for sharing the gift of knowledge.
Thank you. I also a 'A' blood type, but dont know what to eat vegetarian that would be protein and low carb. I still enjoy meat and have not been a fish eater. Tofu is soy, and beans to high in carbs. I did buy some canned sardines and am trying to eat it in my salad. Forcing myself rather. I do eat a variety of veges, raw and roasted, and if I dont eat a protein, I'm not a happy camper. I was eating too much, that is for sure, 2 to 3 meals so cutting it to 1 meal a day. Just because its low carb doesnt mean eat as much as you like😊 Thank you again for your input.
Thank you very much for this explanation Dr. Berg! It's very important to raise the awareness for CKD, one of most underestimated and most dangerous diseases of our times! Just wanted to add one thing, I always tell people in my channel to be wary of the risk factors for CKD more than the symptoms. When you see the symptom it is already TOO LATE. So try to understand what are your risk factors for CKD (diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, obesity etc.) and GET CHECKED REGULARLY if you have any.
If u do have the urine breath could that also be a sign of dehydration, and once at that point what should you do? Doctors will not address issue they will send you home with a 😃
Thank you for all your effort doctor I feel a little I've always had a little trouble with my kidneys and I recently studied started studying all this you were the first doctor that started many many like 20 years ago so I mean you're the man keep up the good work
I am a kidney patient, have only one. And recently had chemotherapy. Do this video is popping up on time! I have read the study’s you put in the description. And I read that mostly Astragalus was giving to kidney patients 1,5 grams per day for 12 days. I am looking into this root! Thank you so much!!!! My own doctor tells me that I can do nothing about kidney damage at all. Thank you so much Dr. berg 🙏
Doctors are not God as smart as they are. Never give up, keep educating yourself and do your upmost best with prayer nothing is impossible. Somebody on this thread just proved his doctor wrong when his no was 11 and within 2mnths got to 50! That's is just 60 days, imagine what his result will be in 12 months. Praying for total healing.
I have Astragalus (also called Loco Weed here in N.A. ;) root tincture I use sometimes as restorative and immune boosting...good to know it helps the kidneys! Thank You Dr Berg!
About 6 years ago my EGFR was around 30 and less. I started to remove all sugars, eat more meat - more keto - and just eating LESS. EGR went to 35, then 40 then 50 and then today 60! Mainly I started decocting Astralagus and Angelica root in vodka and also as tea in a pressure cooker. Still drank a lot of alcohol [evenings as a stress reducer from a nutty wife] but still, GFR kept rising. really amazing. I also took cinnamon, dandelion root an leaves in teas, and garlic fermented in honey. Always with the real herbs, forget the pills. My doctor is amazed and inquiring.
I put in six filters on my city water line into my home. 2 Pre-Filters (sediment,) 2 Carbon filters (removes Chlorine) and 1 heavy metal and 1 Fluoride filter. I was blown away by how wonderful the water tasted. The two pre-sidiment filters were brown just after fifty gallons. I was shocked. I thought how my Kidney's much be thanking me as they did not have to filter all the junk out of the water. I just ordered a table top electric distiller for the final stage in having clean water to drink. I will be adding Liquid Trace Minerals along with Iodized, Sea and Himalayan Salt in very small amounts to the Distilled water as these minerals healed my back and my knee pain completely. The water now taste so good and the distilled water is, I am sure, going to be out this world free from all the pollutants that get into our water. Love 4Truth!
I’m such a fan! I no longer question or hesitate your suggestions. Now I just do it. All except the Keto diet which I believe in but just couldn’t do. But I do believe you! I have taken your advice so many times, on a huge variety of subjects. Not for only me but my clients, (I’m a caregiver), friends and family too. Your always right! It always at least helps, but so often it fixes it. Thank you! #1 FAN!
I love your channel and so appreciate all you have to offer as well as your wonderful wife and her recipes. My question is how much of the Astragalus do you recommend taking daily? Thanks again for all you do!
Thanks for the video But you could have also indicated if drinking enough fluids or water does help improve kidneys and couple of foods to help improve kidneys
Thank you so very much, Dr! I love your presentation with the whiteboard and I love the sound of your markers and I love your diagrams and how are you speak and present it at all! And this was amazing just now on the kidneys and kidney disease and failure, etc.!!!
For me kidney disease is the most scary thing I don't know why but may be because my sister in law lost her life with this disease and my grandmother has it too she doesn't have many food options she has nausea she vomits no matter how much she refrain herself from eating specific food she feels terrible sometimes and it seems really hard when I heard all this
Thanks again. I've had some kidney issues before and have Metabolic Syndrome, or insulin resistance. I've lost 50 pounds with your help on Keto, but I cheat a lot. I went wild today and ate lots of sugar, and WOW some kidney pain. I'm drinking some of your electrolyte powder and the discomfort is going away. Peace and blessings to you and yours💗💗
I'm your new subscriber doc, I hope I'll learn more about reversing or stop further damage of the kidney due to High blood pressure and Diabetes. and I hope my mom will recover from CKD.
Hi Dr Berg please do a video on muscle dystrophy disease. My friend has it and it really is heartbreaking. She’s 32 years old and just and her health has been deteriorating for over 10 years and now she is in a wheelchair 😢 . Any recommendations is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Dr. Eric Berg DC Could you please make a video on uveitis also . I have been waiting for it. I m your follower from 3 years. None of my doctors are helping me with diet. Namaste.
I had been worried about this kind of stuff. Had bloodwork done 6 months ago. My GFR is greater 120, my BUN is at 11 mg/dl and my creatinine is at .70 mg/dl. So as far as I can tell, those are good numbers. I do have a metallic taste in my mouth but I believe it is due to my poor dental hygiene(long story ). I've also had ultrasounds and they've said I do not have a fatty liver and my kidneys look great, so does my pancreas and spleen.
Good Morning Dr Berg. I am Sincerely grateful for you videos. I have been following you videos for awhile now and they have been life changing for me. Thank you for all the good work. Please i would like to know if you have a video for Proteinuria and how it can be reversed. thank you
If the creatinine level is elevated due to non renal causes,then the GFR would be shown to be artificially depressed -a false low.Microalbuminuria may be a better indicator of early kidney damage
As always, Thank You Doctor, You are the good source of Healthy information. For people In India, we have all round diet as everyone is saying. I cant argue with parents about it 🙂 Can You please make an episode about Indian diet which mostly includes. Coocked spicy Veggitables, whole wheat Roti ,Daal , Rice , salad. for explaining about good bad factors. Wheat Roti sometimes replaced by Bajra , Jwar or Ragi Roti.
Beautiful,Dr Berg.I wish all allopathic doctors are as helpful as you are.When I book an appointment with my nephrologist/cardiologist,this is the kind of conversation that should be ocurring.Not,what pills are you currently taking? You will most likely need a transplant.I have been on dialysis for the past 2yrs,had a stroke 3 months ago,I've been put on the transplant list for a new heart and kidney but I honestly am having second thoughts. I've started intermittent fasting and keto but secretly because my family members would think I'm crazy and would try to stop me.
I wish I had come across this video much earlier. Now i have kidney stones. Still then, am glad to watched and apply your information in my daily life. Thank you Dr.
I was thrilled when I saw "astragalus" on your list of remedies for CKD. I've taken this supplement off 'n on for years for various reasons plus it strengthens the immune system. I had heard that it was helpful for CKD but never heard anyone suggest it for that reason until now. THANK YOU!!!

Dr Berg, could you please do a video on Proteinuria? my husband was diagnosed with Proteinuria six months ago and is now taking a pill for hypertension every night to lower the levels of protein in he kidneys, he doesn't suffer from hypertension but apparently both are related, and for a time his blood pressure had a tendency to go unhealthily up (a medication send by his nephrologist of course) but I'd like to know ways of hopefully reverse this condition and take better care of it. Thank you so much for all the great content you share.

Thank you. I've had all of these symptoms at one point or another yet my doctor says my kidneys are normal. I am taking action against kidney disease now. I've started a plant-based diet so the keto thing is difficult. I will do intermittent fasing though.
Plant based is a no go we are omnivores and animal foods provide us things that no plant can. Whole 1 ingredient food is the way to go. Gonna miss out on alot of good things your body needs and the only place to get them is meat.
In the last year I have last 50 lbs on Keto. I went from 352 to 302. I’m struggling with the 2lbs to get out of the 300s, but I’m fighting the good fight. I have been having a cheat day Sundays (Called pasta 🍝 Sunday) my wife is Italian and can really cook but I don’t splurge. We have talked about cutting that day so I can get into the 200S, then work toward the 250s. Thank you for all the Videos, you have helped me out tremendously.
@@ericvid Just hit 298 Monday Weighed in this morning Wednesday 3/23. (297) It wasn’t a fluke I just have to make it under 295 and I should be safely out of the 300s. 🎊🤞
Dr. Berg, you once showed us a book that you go by, it’s a pretty big book, do you remember the name of it? I can’t remember the name of it. Could you please post a link to that book?
I have to request for consultation with LT side hydronephrosis this week a little nervous I like Dr. Berg his voice keeps me calm hoping for the best thank you PS I am IF
Myasthenia Gravis causes hypertension due to increased creatinine. My hubby has been on astragalus since he was diagnosed with MG in 1995. His BP is very high now though.
I'm stage 3b renal, i was diagnosed 10yrs ago after having tests done, when i went to see my doctor because i was having trouble sleeping. He said i had the symptoms of a over weight person who drinks and smokes? all of which i'm neither, in fact i'm quite the opposite. My gfr then was 26 but with the help of meds i'm now in the 30's, I'm also a diabetic which had readings of 50+ which i'm now 41. Apart from getting Gout attacks from mild to severe I try to lead a normal healthy lifestyle One thing I've learnt, having always tried to have a healthy life style, good diet, keeping fit, non smoker or drinker .. life can be a bitch but hey, i'm breathing so it can be a lot worse hahaha!!
I am revisiting this video because of the Astragalus recommendation. When I was first diagnosed, I bought some based on this video. I've been taking that, along with other vitamin supplements, to help with my CKD, as well as KETO and IF. However, one of the Kidney Education websites my Dr. referred me to indicates to stay away from Astragalus during ANY stage of CKD. So confused now.

It definitely wouldn't hurt to do things to support healthy kidney function. Check out some videos I've made regarding the kidneys, I think you'll find them helpful.
I had fatty liver and bad kidneys.. over working and traveling for work .. at too much fast food for about a year .. I quit traveling.. and lost 45 lbs lost a giant majority of body fat. Started fasting every weekend .. cut our sugar salt and saturated fat. I feel way better I just ran 2 miles with out stopping .. something that last year I wouldn’t of even been close to doing
I've been taking Astragalus every day for the last 5 years. Before I started taking it I got sick several times a year. Now I haven't been sick a single day in the last 5 years. I've never had any kidney issues though.
Hi Dr Eric Berg. I assume that your video is in regards to Chronic Kidney Disease. I understand that your videos are for entertainment purposes only however I would like to comment that a person may not have any of those 7 early warning signs but still be in stage 4 kidney disease. In addition, your video mentions to measure creatine in your blood...however, the test [or so my doctors tell me] is to measure the creatinine level. In regards to creatine, there has been no mention by any of my doctors [nephrologists] per blood and urine tests that creatine is even considered. The focus has been on creatinine levels as creatine has NEVER been mentioned or included in any Renal Panels. Another area that a person needs to limit is their protein intake, as protein causes the kidney to work harder.
Thanks for sharing such an important information.just wanted to know if anti epileptic medicine can contribute in getting kidney issues? Kindly reply me I will much appreciate it. Best wishes.
I have a rare form Kidney Disease called Madullary Sponge Kidney (MSK) diagnosed in my 20's and now 35yrs old. I only have itchiness here and there and swollen face. Lack of concentration is huge for me. Other than that considering I am full of stones (last count approx 18) i have not much pain. I just wish I could pass then and they were not embedded in to my kidneys. I'm worried in future with severe damage more. Thanks Dr Berg x
Hi Dr.Berg. About a year and half ago, two simple kidney cysts were discovered in my left kidney during an ultrasound for another medical reason. That medical problem was quickly resolved with antibiotics, but the cysts remain in my kidney. My doctor has told me it's nothing to worry and that nothing can be done about them anyway, unless I get blood in the urine, can't urinate and develop a fever. I of course don't want it to get to that point, but I think I might be at greater risk of this happening. The reason is because I've become passionate about bodybuilding. Not to the point of becoming a professional, but I like to try and hit the gym three times a week and have a protein shake afterwards. Anyway, I wonder if you have any recommendations for kidney support, and so that I can keep bodybuilding. P.S. is astragalus safe to use as a preventive supplement? Id so, what dosage would you recommend?
Hi Eric, Dr. Berg might recommend a type of supplement but does not get into specifics- you'll have to do this research yourself. Dr. Berg's Support Team.
Dr. Berg kept saying "Creatine" instead of "Creatinine" in the entire video. It's a big difference. Hope he gets a chance to correct it! Great video Doc and keep up the good work.
No do not take on an empty stomach as food helps the absorption. Some can make you vomit on an empty stomach. Take with a small fruit or veggie smoothie
U so amazing dr why all doctors not honest ...they have all solution only non stop operations and make person disable..they dont feel how people feeling being disable.... I appriciated your efforts alot
Dr. Berg..I appreciate your advices and would appreciate it even more if you would respond to some of the questions which I have asked in the past without any response from you. I get that there might be more questions than you have time for but when asking genuine questions of conditions being experienced without response sometimes we are left with confusing choices that you end up debunking later. The same reason people still die of malaria cos necessary help is not there when needed

If you're watching this you already know Allopathic medicine only treats symptoms and not the root cause of the problem, the big pharma corporations and the current medical industry is designed on this concept. Preventative medicine practices like, Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Unani practices are the only way forward for humanity as has been for thousands of years.
Dr Berg is leading the way in bringing awareness to the masses!
Thank you Dr Berg!
The whole allopathic system benefits only the big pharma, never the poor patients. Moreover there isn't much scientific about it either. It's mostly pseudo-science.
My mum just passed away due to kidney failure cause by diabetic. No one telling us that she should cut off all carbs since 30 years ago. All the doctors only ask her to lower her crabs and sugar intake instead of eliminate it! She was so struggling with kidney failure problem for many years. Hope this video is not too late for others kidney patien. IF and Keto diet really will make you get healthy
I had most, if not all symptoms but I decided to make changes to my eating habits. Lost 50lbs. The information given here encourages me to keep going because I don't want to go down that same route again. Thanks doc!
How are u now
@@shananmatthew6778 thank you for asking. I feel feel great! I had all symptoms except for vomiting. I have also watched your videos about the liver and even there I see a big difference in the way I feel now. Actually watching one of your videos about the liver encouraged me to make the decision to eat healthier. I realized that I was slowly killing myself. Thank for all the information you put you videos. God bless.
Question: How long does it take for kidneys to get to a healthy stage from this early signs of kidney disease stage you showed in this video?
Dr. Berg breaks it down the best! Thanks for all the great content! 👍
You are very welcome.
God bless you for caring and sharing with ALL of us who are out here. You are the best, Doctor Berg👏👏.
Again, another invaluable clip shared by the most generous, Dr. Berg!!
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for sharing another on point, straight to the core, informative video clip on how to live a better live when it comes to our health.
I learned a lot since discovered you here, for free, than what I've been advised by my periodic Dr visits with payments.
You're a blessing to many of us.
God bless!
@@MrMakingwavesmedia and what makes you think you know all the rules, commandments on how to get to Heaven then? Who is your God? Or if you claim to be the One that knows all things in this world, let alone the universe.

May God bless you.
Thanks Dr Berg your lectures are very ,very helpful ,very valuable . Thanks for helping a lot of people . May God always bless you
Thank you for this, perfect timing. I have been doing keto with a little IF for over 2 years, but slipped into more proteins, than I should be eating. I lost 40 lbs, but couldn't get any further. I am 63, and no gall bladder. Just had blood tests, and I'm up to stage 3 now with my kidneys and my glucose levels/A1C were up since last test 8 mo. ago.. I have been no sugar, very low carbs for all this time, but I read that too much protein can cause the glucotoxicity also. (I think this is the word) I am going to start taking bile salts, doing longer IF (20/4) and cut back to 5 oz protein per day. I will also get the supplement you mentioned here. I do get my veges every day in a big salad with good oil too.
Thank you and God bless you for sharing the gift of knowledge.
Thank you. I also a 'A' blood type, but dont know what to eat vegetarian that would be protein and low carb. I still enjoy meat and have not been a fish eater. Tofu is soy, and beans to high in carbs. I did buy some canned sardines and am trying to eat it in my salad. Forcing myself rather. I do eat a variety of veges, raw and roasted, and if I dont eat a protein, I'm not a happy camper. I was eating too much, that is for sure, 2 to 3 meals so cutting it to 1 meal a day. Just because its low carb doesnt mean eat as much as you like😊
Thank you again for your input.
How have you adjusted your diet to heal your kidneys?
Thank you very much for this explanation Dr. Berg! It's very important to raise the awareness for CKD, one of most underestimated and most dangerous diseases of our times! Just wanted to add one thing, I always tell people in my channel to be wary of the risk factors for CKD more than the symptoms.
When you see the symptom it is already TOO LATE.
So try to understand what are your risk factors for CKD (diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, obesity etc.) and GET CHECKED REGULARLY if you have any.
Oh, I love your channel!
@@は私です彼の名前 thank you!
If u do have the urine breath could that also be a sign of dehydration, and once at that point what should you do? Doctors will not address issue they will send you home with a 😃
@@mikao9401 ask doctor to check gfr of kidneys will give indication of function. Also if kidneys are damaged iron levels normally low
@@elizabethnel6613 yes I have anemia and trying to avoid infusions by taking supplements and iron rich foods. I'll have her check
Thank you Dr. Berg. We are following you, but from an Arab channel that translates a video for you
Thank you for this video. I gained 60lbs last year after a lot of stress and trauma and I’ve noticed a lot of these symptoms.
VERY NICE EXPLANATION, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DOC,AMEN 😊
Thank you for all your effort doctor I feel a little I've always had a little trouble with my kidneys and I recently studied started studying all this you were the first doctor that started many many like 20 years ago so I mean you're the man keep up the good work
I am a kidney patient, have only one. And recently had chemotherapy. Do this video is popping up on time! I have read the study’s you put in the description. And I read that mostly Astragalus was giving to kidney patients 1,5 grams per day for 12 days. I am looking into this root! Thank you so much!!!! My own doctor tells me that I can do nothing about kidney damage at all. Thank you so much Dr. berg 🙏
Doctors are not God as smart as they are. Never give up, keep educating yourself and do your upmost best with prayer nothing is impossible. Somebody on this thread just proved his doctor wrong when his no was 11 and within 2mnths got to 50! That's is just 60 days, imagine what his result will be in 12 months. Praying for total healing.
@@elizabethtimothy4776 yeah it was MARY CARROLL . I saw that comment
It is sheer pleasure to listen to Dr Berg. He explains things so clearly and without unnecessary technicality.
Glad you like the way I present my videos. Thanks for watching them.
I have Astragalus (also called Loco Weed here in N.A. ;) root tincture I use sometimes as restorative and immune boosting...good to know it helps the kidneys!
Thank You Dr Berg!
Is that over d counter
How do you make your tincture
About 6 years ago my EGFR was around 30 and less. I started to remove all sugars, eat more meat - more keto - and just eating LESS. EGR went to 35, then 40 then 50 and then today 60! Mainly I started decocting Astralagus and Angelica root in vodka and also as tea in a pressure cooker. Still drank a lot of alcohol [evenings as a stress reducer from a nutty wife] but still, GFR kept rising. really amazing. I also took cinnamon, dandelion root an leaves in teas, and garlic fermented in honey. Always with the real herbs, forget the pills. My doctor is amazed and inquiring.
I put in six filters on my city water line into my home. 2 Pre-Filters (sediment,) 2 Carbon filters (removes Chlorine) and 1 heavy metal and 1 Fluoride filter. I was blown away by how wonderful the water tasted. The two pre-sidiment filters were brown just after fifty gallons. I was shocked. I thought how my Kidney's much be thanking me as they did not have to filter all the junk out of the water. I just ordered a table top electric distiller for the final stage in having clean water to drink. I will be adding Liquid Trace Minerals along with Iodized, Sea and Himalayan Salt in very small amounts to the Distilled water as these minerals healed my back and my knee pain completely. The water now taste so good and the distilled water is, I am sure, going to be out this world free from all the pollutants that get into our water.
Love 4Truth!
Where do you live?
@@JaZmine147 in the center of the USA!
I’m such a fan! I no longer question or hesitate your suggestions. Now I just do it. All except the Keto diet which I believe in but just couldn’t do. But I do believe you! I have taken your advice so many times, on a huge variety of subjects. Not for only me but my clients, (I’m a caregiver), friends and family too. Your always right! It always at least helps, but so often it fixes it. Thank you! #1 FAN!
I'm in stage 4 kidney failure my doctors don't care about me at all so hopefully I can do this on my own I have two babies who need me!
I just bought a multi vitamin with Astragalus in it. I am glad it helps the kidneys. Thank you Dr. Berg. Do you give private consultations online?
BROTHER DOES ASTRAGALUS HELP ?
I love your channel and so appreciate all you have to offer as well as your wonderful wife and her recipes. My question is how much of the Astragalus do you recommend taking daily? Thanks again for all you do!
Thanks for the video
But you could have also indicated if drinking enough fluids or water does help improve kidneys and couple of foods to help improve kidneys
Thank you so very much, Dr! I love your presentation with the whiteboard and I love the sound of your markers and I love your diagrams and how are you speak and present it at all! And this was amazing just now on the kidneys and kidney disease and failure, etc.!!!
For me kidney disease is the most scary thing I don't know why but may be because my sister in law lost her life with this disease and my grandmother has it too she doesn't have many food options she has nausea she vomits no matter how much she refrain herself from eating specific food she feels terrible sometimes and it seems really hard when I heard all this
I only get ammonia smell after very hard exercise so hopefully not related to kidney issues. Good to keep these in mind. Thanks Doc
You should still probably get that checked. You shouldn't have an ammonia-like smell coming from your body at all.
I love your videos Doctor! You are doing an angelic job! So beautiful and so informative.
Thanks again. I've had some kidney issues before and have Metabolic Syndrome, or insulin resistance. I've lost 50 pounds with your help on Keto, but I cheat a lot. I went wild today and ate lots of sugar, and WOW some kidney pain. I'm drinking some of your electrolyte powder and the discomfort is going away. Peace and blessings to you and yours💗💗

I'm your new subscriber doc, I hope I'll learn more about reversing or stop further damage of the kidney due to High blood pressure and Diabetes. and I hope my mom will recover from CKD.
Thank you, straightforward and clear advice
Hi Dr Berg please do a video on muscle dystrophy disease. My friend has it and it really is heartbreaking. She’s 32 years old and just and her health has been deteriorating for over 10 years and now she is in a wheelchair 😢 . Any recommendations is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Check wahls protocol.
Thank you for the video suggestion. I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!
Dr. Berg's Support Team.
Dr. Eric Berg DC Could you please make a video on uveitis also . I have been waiting for it. I m your follower from 3 years. None of my doctors are helping me with diet. Namaste.
I had been worried about this kind of stuff. Had bloodwork done 6 months ago. My GFR is greater 120, my BUN is at 11 mg/dl and my creatinine is at .70 mg/dl. So as far as I can tell, those are good numbers. I do have a metallic taste in my mouth but I believe it is due to my poor dental hygiene(long story ). I've also had ultrasounds and they've said I do not have a fatty liver and my kidneys look great, so does my pancreas and spleen.
Good Morning Dr Berg. I am Sincerely grateful for you videos. I have been following you videos for awhile now and they have been life changing for me. Thank you for all the good work. Please i would like to know if you have a video for Proteinuria and how it can be reversed. thank you
Loving your videos. Clear and to the subject
Thank you
If the creatinine level is elevated due to non renal causes,then the GFR would be shown to be artificially depressed -a false low.Microalbuminuria may be a better indicator of early kidney damage
As always, Thank You Doctor, You are the good source of Healthy information.
For people In India, we have all round diet as everyone is saying. I cant argue with parents about it 🙂
Can You please make an episode about Indian diet which mostly includes.
Coocked spicy Veggitables, whole wheat Roti ,Daal , Rice , salad. for explaining about good bad factors.
Wheat Roti sometimes replaced by Bajra , Jwar or Ragi Roti.
Thanks for the video suggestion!
This helped a lot,I have Lupus Nephritis and this helped me to understand my condition!
Very glad to be of help.
diazepam > 5mg ( 3 times a day) is curative in many of these lupus cases
Beautiful,Dr Berg.I wish all allopathic doctors are as helpful as you are.When I book an appointment with my nephrologist/cardiologist,this is the kind of conversation that should be ocurring.Not,what pills are you currently taking? You will most likely need a transplant.I have been on dialysis for the past 2yrs,had a stroke 3 months ago,I've been put on the transplant list for a new heart and kidney but I honestly am having second thoughts.
I've started intermittent fasting and keto but secretly because my family members would think I'm crazy and would try to stop me.
Jolisan - sorry to hear your situation. May you find the strength And Gods will to heal 🙏🙏. How are you doing with Keto and IF?
I wish I had come across this video much earlier. Now i have kidney stones. Still then, am glad to watched and apply your information in my daily life. Thank you Dr.
I was thrilled when I saw "astragalus" on your list of remedies for CKD. I've taken this supplement off 'n on for years for various reasons plus it strengthens the immune system. I had heard that it was helpful for CKD but never heard anyone suggest it for that reason until now. THANK YOU!!!

He most definitely is.
Like to know about bladder infection back and legs pain how can we improve thanks
Dr Berg, could you please do a video on Proteinuria? my husband was diagnosed with Proteinuria six months ago and is now taking a pill for hypertension every night to lower the levels of protein in he kidneys, he doesn't suffer from hypertension but apparently both are related, and for a time his blood pressure had a tendency to go unhealthily up (a medication send by his nephrologist of course) but I'd like to know ways of hopefully reverse this condition and take better care of it. Thank you so much for all the great content you share.
Sir, is it safe to take astragalus forever, or how many months will you recommend?
Really impressive, the water is very important for all the systems of the body ,am I right?
Well we’re 70% water so...
Yes. Water is a transport and purifier
r carlo Well you aren’t right, your body isn’t 70% pure water. Though it has electrolytes and minerals
Without flouride and growth hormones

I had renal failure in the 90s.. I had none of these symptoms at 20-30% function in which it was already too late... transplant few years after.. that was 30+ years ago.
God bless doctors , replacement did work.
@@carollynt I tried to join the NAVY and at MEPS the doctors detected blood and protein in my Urine Analysis. Instant rejection and recommended I see a doctor ASAP.

You are a true healer Dr. Berg
Thank you. I've had all of these symptoms at one point or another yet my doctor says my kidneys are normal. I am taking action against kidney disease now. I've started a plant-based diet so the keto thing is difficult. I will do intermittent fasing though.
Plant based is a no go we are omnivores and animal foods provide us things that no plant can. Whole 1 ingredient food is the way to go. Gonna miss out on alot of good things your body needs and the only place to get them is meat.
How are you doing nowadays?
Can you please tell me how much of the Astragalus we are supposed to take(mg)daily..Wkly...??
In the last year I have last 50 lbs on Keto.
I went from 352 to 302.
I’m struggling with the 2lbs to get out of the 300s, but I’m fighting the good fight.
I have been having a cheat day Sundays (Called pasta 🍝 Sunday) my wife is Italian and can really cook but I don’t splurge. We have talked about cutting that day so I can get into the 200S, then work toward the 250s.
Thank you for all the Videos, you have helped me out tremendously.
Getting past 300 is just as hard as getting to 340. Every ten pounds is a bitch. But every 10 pds lost, means you can run further.
@@ericvid Just hit 298 Monday
Weighed in this morning Wednesday 3/23. (297)
It wasn’t a fluke I just have to make it under 295 and I should be safely out of the 300s. 🎊🤞
@Crush The Box keep going. I'm trying to get under 200 from 410. Will get there eventually.
Dr. Berg, you once showed us a book that you go by, it’s a pretty big book, do you remember the name of it? I can’t remember the name of it. Could you please post a link to that book?

Good day dr eric please what causes side itching in my left abdomine when am eating and how i can stop it
I have to request for consultation with LT side hydronephrosis this week a little nervous I like Dr. Berg his voice keeps me calm hoping for the best thank you PS I am IF
Myasthenia Gravis causes hypertension due to increased creatinine. My hubby has been on astragalus since he was diagnosed with MG in 1995. His BP is very high now though.
I'm stage 3b renal, i was diagnosed 10yrs ago after having tests done, when i went to see my doctor because i was having trouble sleeping. He said i had the symptoms of a over weight person who drinks and smokes? all of which i'm neither, in fact i'm quite the opposite. My gfr then was 26 but with the help of meds i'm now in the 30's, I'm also a diabetic which had readings of 50+ which i'm now 41. Apart from getting Gout attacks from mild to severe I try to lead a normal healthy lifestyle
One thing I've learnt, having always tried to have a healthy life style, good diet, keeping fit, non smoker or drinker .. life can be a bitch but hey, i'm breathing so it can be a lot worse hahaha!!
True. Life can be a bitch. Still, you seem to be making the most of it. Good for you! Keep up the courage
What supplements do you take my brother? Because my father are diagnosed with CKD stage 3b too..
@@shahaziz187 interested
I am revisiting this video because of the Astragalus recommendation. When I was first diagnosed, I bought some based on this video. I've been taking that, along with other vitamin supplements, to help with my CKD, as well as KETO and IF. However, one of the Kidney Education websites my Dr. referred me to indicates to stay away from Astragalus during ANY stage of CKD.
So confused now.
This is important to find out! Now I’m confused too!

It definitely wouldn't hurt to do things to support healthy kidney function. Check out some videos I've made regarding the kidneys, I think you'll find them helpful.
I had fatty liver and bad kidneys.. over working and traveling for work .. at too much fast food for about a year .. I quit traveling.. and lost 45 lbs lost a giant majority of body fat. Started fasting every weekend .. cut our sugar salt and saturated fat. I feel way better I just ran 2 miles with out stopping .. something that last year I wouldn’t of even been close to doing
My BUN Creatnine is 33. Should I be worried?
Thank you Doctor for always giving us informative videos.
Hi dr berg can you take astragalus as a preventative measure or only when kidneys are damaged ??
I've been taking Astragalus every day for the last 5 years. Before I started taking it I got sick several times a year. Now I haven't been sick a single day in the last 5 years. I've never had any kidney issues though.

How did ypu fix it
Hi Doctor Berg, Thank you for everything, keep doing what you're doing. Your information is a blessing and well absorbed. I enjoy all of them.
Hi Dr Eric Berg. I assume that your video is in regards to Chronic Kidney Disease. I understand that your videos are for entertainment purposes only however I would like to comment that a person may not have any of those 7 early warning signs but still be in stage 4 kidney disease. In addition, your video mentions to measure creatine in your blood...however, the test [or so my doctors tell me] is to measure the creatinine level. In regards to creatine, there has been no mention by any of my doctors [nephrologists] per blood and urine tests that creatine is even considered. The focus has been on creatinine levels as creatine has NEVER been mentioned or included in any Renal Panels. Another area that a person needs to limit is their protein intake, as protein causes the kidney to work harder.
Thank you so much Doctor
Gratitude ❤️🙏

Thanks for sharing such an important information.just wanted to know if anti epileptic medicine can contribute in getting kidney issues? Kindly reply me I will much appreciate it. Best wishes.
Hi doc is apple cider vinegar good to make insulin sensitive?
I have a rare form Kidney Disease called Madullary Sponge Kidney (MSK) diagnosed in my 20's and now 35yrs old.
I only have itchiness here and there and swollen face. Lack of concentration is huge for me. Other than that considering I am full of stones (last count approx 18) i have not much pain. I just wish I could pass then and they were not embedded in to my kidneys. I'm worried in future with severe damage more. Thanks Dr Berg x
Hi Dr.Berg. About a year and half ago, two simple kidney cysts were discovered in my left kidney during an ultrasound for another medical reason. That medical problem was quickly resolved with antibiotics, but the cysts remain in my kidney. My doctor has told me it's nothing to worry and that nothing can be done about them anyway, unless I get blood in the urine, can't urinate and develop a fever. I of course don't want it to get to that point, but I think I might be at greater risk of this happening. The reason is because I've become passionate about bodybuilding. Not to the point of becoming a professional, but I like to try and hit the gym three times a week and have a protein shake afterwards. Anyway, I wonder if you have any recommendations for kidney support, and so that I can keep bodybuilding. P.S. is astragalus safe to use as a preventive supplement? Id so, what dosage would you recommend?
Look for his videos about cysts. Cysts happen for a reason. He has great advice
Up
Dr can u please recommend any home remades thank you
Hi Dr Berg, how to we take Astragalus, should we boil or steam and what are the dosage, is it available in pill forms?
Hi Eric, Dr. Berg might recommend a type of supplement but does not get into specifics- you'll have to do this research yourself.
Dr. Berg's Support Team.
So good to hear from this dr about health
Dr. Berg kept saying "Creatine" instead of "Creatinine" in the entire video. It's a big difference. Hope he gets a chance to correct it! Great video Doc and keep up the good work.
Would you agree that taking these herbs/Suppliments work better if taking while fasting? Do you suggest taking on an empty stomach.
No do not take on an empty stomach as food helps the absorption. Some can make you vomit on an empty stomach. Take with a small fruit or veggie smoothie
I have most of the signs you mentioned. What do I do to come out fine ?

Dr. Berg..I appreciate your advices and would appreciate it even more if you would respond to some of the questions which I have asked in the past without any response from you. I get that there might be more questions than you have time for but when asking genuine questions of conditions being experienced without response sometimes we are left with confusing choices that you end up debunking later. The same reason people still die of malaria cos necessary help is not there when needed
Dr. Berg, does too much meat protein cause acidosis/problems if eGFR low?
Good question!

Is there any connection between GFR and thyroid function?
