There is no other book available that gives you the information that is in this book. This book empowers you with the knowledge to save your own life and cure yourself of chronic kidney disease, Diabetes, Gout, Heart Disease and Kidney stones. And for the rare few who do not, the least you will do is significantly improve your health. Doctors have no cures. Doctors only treat your diseases to prolong them to maximize their income.

But there is one Doctor in America that can help you avoid dialysis through his clinically proven drug treatments. Find out about that doctor in this book. Since all disease is caused by poisons(except for the 20% caused by viruses and germs) avoiding poisons is the key to preventing and curing almost all diseases. Get rid of the cause of the diseases and you get rid of the diseases. This is why you have to get serious about avoiding and eliminating poisons in our food, drinks and water supplies. And that's what this book teaches you how to do !

Book Synopsis Supportive Care for the Renal Patient by : E. Joanna Chambers
Download or read book Supportive Care for the Renal Patient written by E. Joanna Chambers and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-03-18 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supportive Care for the Renal Patient Second Edition provides a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of supportive care for the nephrology patient. An international group of contributors emphasise the continuum of palliative care from the time of diagnosis through to end-of-life care and the issues surrounding withdrawal of dialysis. The book addresses the psychological impact of the disease, the importance of involving the patient in making decisions about their care, ethical considerations, the role of the family and the multidisciplinary team. This new edition includes two new chapters on conservative management of advanced kidney disease (AKD) and dialysis in the very elderly. The chapters covering non pain symptoms, advance care planning, quality of life, psychological and psychiatric consideration and end-of-life care have also be completely revised to include new evidence and current thinking. This book will be of particular interest to palliative care practitioners; nephrologists, who increasingly need to know more about palliative care; nurse practitioners, dialysis nurses, social workers, dieticians, and psychiatric consultants. ABOUT THE SUPPORTIVE CARE SERIES Supportive care is the multidisciplinary holistic care of patients with chronic and life-limiting illnesses and their families - from the time around diagnosis, through treatments aimed at cure or prolonging life, and into the phase currently acknowledged as palliative care. It involves recognising and caring for the side-effects of active therapies as well as patients' symptoms, co-morbidities, psychological, social and spiritual concerns. It also values the role of family carers and helps them in supporting the patient, as well as attending to their own special needs. Unlike traditional palliative care, which grew from the terminal care of cancer patients, supportive care is not restricted to dying patients nor to cancer. This series covers the support of patients with a variety of long-term conditions, who are currently largely managed by specialist medical teams in hospital and by primary care teams in community settings. Each volume therefore provides a practical guide to the supportive care of patients at all stages of illness. Series Editor: Sam H. Ahmedzai

Download or read book Nutrition and Kidney Disease written by Hiromichi Suzuki and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well-known that the daily diet plays an important role in the preservation and integrity of renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, there currently exists some confusion as to the right diet because of the MDRD (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) study, which has shown that a low-protein diet does not have a major effect on the course of renal dysfunction. To resolve this dilemma, researchers are developing a framework for an appropriate dietary program which will significantly alter the understanding of the role of diet and, eventually, have important implications for the practice of nephrology. This publication provides an update on both laboratory and clinical research, including nutritional status and its assessment in patients with kidney disease, nutritional therapy in hemodialysis, in patients with diabetic nephropathy and after kidney transplantation, as well as considering the roles of sodium, protein intake and phosphate restriction in kidney disease. Part of a long-standing and continuing effort to improve patient outcome, this book provides both a fundamental understanding of diet as well as a practical and up-to-date summary of current knowledge and technology. It will therefore be a helpful tool for the clinician working in the field of chronic kidney disease.
