Do we choose one of the 3 supplements or need to take all 3?

@@kathleenanderson4008 Prune juice works well for my mom. Fiber supplement worked for my sister. They both come in different formats (liquid, powder, capsule, etc.)
April 5th 2015 I was 42 and donated a kidney to a friend of mine that was 62. He had been on dialysis for a few years and he had been told he had 6mo to live. Fast-forward 8yrs later to 2023 and we're both great. It was a life changing experience for me as much as it was for him. I wouldn't change anything.
UPDATE 6-10-2023
I want to thank each and everyone of you who has commented on this topic. I can't thank you enough nor can I express how awesome it is to see my Buddy. May God Bless each and everyone of you and your families. We can all see the world has lost its collective mind but never lose sight of the one thing that will separate you from the rest of the world and in a time of unprecedented narcissism true love will keep you grounded and established.
JOHN 15:3 Greater Love has no one than this, than for a man to lay down his life for his friends.
You are amazing!
A few years ago my brother found out he had type 2 diabetes. He found out that he had actually had it for several years but because he thought he was healthy he didn't go to the doctor and wasn't really eating the right things. Soon after he found out that it had caused him to have kidney disease. He was in stage 3 now he has a egfr of 30. I told him if he needs a kidney I will donate one of mine. I want him to live many more years
@@koreyvalentine4234 that's a wonderful thought towards your brother. But their is many steps you have to go thru to find out if you are even a match for him. Just because you're a family member doesn't automatically make it a done deal. I tell you this just so you know their is a chance you may not be a match for him and you didn't set yourself up for a rejection like that. Neither one of my friends sisters were a match and his mother was to old. If it's God's will He'll see you thru it. But just the thought of you being willing to do that is not only amazing it shows you have an unbelievable amount of character. God bless you and your family.
So cool!
Wow that's compassion in action you're awesome
I had an appointment with my doctor yesterday and she told me that I have kidney disease. Several months ago I told her I had frothy urine and she didn’t seem concerned. Plus my b/p is very high. She didn’t say anymore about my kidneys. She added two more b/p meds. I have to find a doctor who is concerned about their patients.
It sounds like you're blaming your doctor for your health issue and not blaming yourself. If you noticed foamy urine, what did you do to fix it? Changed your diet? Did some research? Take your health into your own hands. Good luck to you.
Thank you @nan2157. Most kidney damage is caused by insulin resistance. Make sure you really understand where you stand and address that. Also the supplements I mentioned can really make a difference. Best of luck. 😀
@@cluman1I’m not blaming my doctor but some doctors don’t pay attention to their senior patients. And I do research but some symptoms are the same so it’s best I see a doctor who has experience.
@@cluman1 I think Nan215 is trying to learn about his/her health, and that is the first step to helping your own cause. From what he/she said, it appears his/her doctor didn't try to help address the root cause. Not blaming the doctor, because that type of care is what most people expect. Many people think their health problems are inevitable and want a quick pill or procedure to fix it. Most doctors have adapted to customer demand.
@@cluman1 If it were that simple we wouldn't benefit so much from Dr. Ekberg. Judging each other for not taking the bull by the horns, in _your_ estimation, isn't beneficial. Every here is learning...that's why we're here.
I lost my right kidney after decades of kidney infections/flare ups, and antibiotic treatments. It was a difficult road to recovery, but ultimately has given me a better life. My remaining kidney is hanging in there..reduced function but keeping me going!! I am almost 79…hoping for many more years to enjoy 6 kids, 15 grands, and 3 (to this point)great grands!! I can walk, swim, travel, and enjoy so much more than when suffering from those kidney issues! Praying for my 60% left kidney to keep me going for many more years!!🙏🙏
God 🙏 you.
My aunt had 1 working kidney her whole life, I think she lived almost 93 years! God bless you
I’m aware this is 7 months ago. I hope you’re still doing well, I just wanted to mention, I’m glad you’re active, (you may be aware of this) your skin is like a 3rd kidney and sweating greatly reduces the strain on your kidney.
So this is an encouragement to you and anyone reading this to stay active to keep you’re kidneys working well into your later years 👍🏻
GOD bless. 🙏

What if there is just frothy urine but no other of those ?
1, 2, 4, 6, and 8. All of which I've corrected to some extent by improving my diet, exercise, and discipline and #6 has a much more likely explanation than infection.
@@jodinspired5672 In my case, it's probably arousal (both during sleep and to a lesser extent during waking hours) leaving protein in the urethra, to be flushed out when I urinate. From the sound of the video, it might be an infection in the bladder or other organ connected to the urinary tract.
Well I have a couple missing, no puffy eyes and I have a normal appetite, got the rest! And a dodgy liver, and diabetes, and haemochromatosis. Do I win a prize?
Thank you for this!
My eldest sister worked as a nephrology RN. She was fascinated by the many functions of the kidney, so well explained here. Thank you Dr Ekberg for your efforts in helping us better understand the pathologies which can afflict us. Much respect to you
You are welcome @clairehachey2189. Thanks for your feedback and for watching. 😄
@@drekberg Dr. Sten, I wish you would describe what constitutes foam in the urine. For example, what if the foam, or almost all of the foam, dissipates within a few minutes of sitting in unflushed bowl? Is that worrisome foam, or is it only worrisome if it stays foamy for a certain extended period of time sitting in an unflushed bowl? Please elaborate.
@@Cosmo-Kramer look up proteinuria. That might be helpful to you.
I had a kidney injury from ANCA vasculitis. After about 1.5 years my proteinuria went away. I still have a lower gfr - 42 and high creatine - 1.40. My albumin is in normal range. Considering taking the blood class. I had a kidney biopsy in 2020. They told me I did not have scarring but I continue with these numbers. I had normal levels when I got ANCA 3 yrs ago. I am a clean eater.
@@Romans15.32 I have, but nothing I've found drills down that far.
These kidney videos are very helpful. I was born with a single kidney and I've been given zero information from my doctor on how to look after or prevent kidney disease. Actually the only time they have ever mentioned my kidney was when they sent me a letter saying I'm high risk so I needed one of the first covid vaccines (which I refused)
Following a healthy diet, exercising daily and sufficient water intake can significantly reduce the chances of having kidney-related problems. Hope it helps :)
@@drnatesw Thanks, I do all the above, a blood test once a year would probably be a good idea to.
@@drnatesw Now the question is what is the healthy diet. For me not even the keto diet helped. My frequent urination, fatigue, foot swelling and sleep problems got fixed only after going pure carnivore.
@@neilnewinger3059 A healthy diet is something tailored fit for you depending on your nutritional requirements, your lifestyle and your health goals. You can design your own diet considering these factors, but it's best to consult a nutritionist. A healthy diet can do wonders for you !
@@Alexxx---101 happy to know that :) You can also try incorporating a full body check up once in six months or atleast in a year, it helps!!
A few years back my Dr. called me in after an abnormal blood test. She said my eGFR results indicated stage 3 chronic kidney disease. I felt this was strange because there was never any problems with my eGFR in the past. I had recently started taking fenofibrate and thought perhaps that was causing the abnormal eGFR results. After discontinuing fenofibrate, my eGFR readings returned to normal and my kidneys are working just fine. Perhaps there are other people out there who are being told they have stage 3 chronic kidney disease which is actually being caused by medications they're taking.
More often it is medication related. Many other problems as well caused by meds.
Would that be Dr. Berg??
@@zinnia3684 yeah, a lot of people don't realize the meds are causing the problem. My doctor also missed it, but thankfully I did some research and figured it out.
Even worse, very common meds: regular NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, ketorolac, Aleve, Advil, Motrin etc) directly cause kidney impairment. Take them together with a diuretic (Lasix, HCTZ) and even worse, add one other common medication prescribed to "protect the kidneys" (a "-pril" or a "-sartan") and this combination has a high risk to destroy your kidneys.
@@dunuth For sure !!
Pray for healing, Psalms 103:1 - 5. Psalms 107:20. Isaiah 53:5. Numbers 11:23 Ephesians 3:20
My mother was type 2 diabetic, took metformin, lived to be nearly 86 and was a smoker! She was never a pig out kind of person💕
G'day Sten. Here's my little tale. 14 weeks ago, following a routine blood test, my doc told me I had tipped over into Type 2 diabetes. That was the reality check I needed to do something about my long-standing weight gain. 14 weeks later I have gone from 100Kg down to 81.5Kg and am feeling fantastic. That is an average of 1.3 kg loss per week. Your guidance has been paramount to my change. Aiming for 70 kg, which I gather is in the ballpark for a male at 5' 6". I'm sure I will achieve that target.
For those reading who have doubts about the best way to lose weight, follow Dr. Ekberg's teachings. I can vouch for myself that they work. 👍
Amazing !! How'd you do it? Calorie deficit?
I am going to presume that IF was a part of the journey 🤔
@@maxineadderley5378 It was indeed. Switched to OMAD, and every week did a 48 hour fast. Last week I did my first 72 hour fast, and in hindsight could have gone longer, but I just wanted to taste some food again. Started taking ACV about 8 weeks ago. Cut out all carbs and sugars.
Your weight did not cause the diabetes. Your pre-diabetes caused the weight gain.
@Space Ghost can you explain this to me? I've been gaining weight and struggling with some pre diabetes symptoms, but have been deemed healthy by my doctor. What causes pre- diabetes?
I wish I could just fast like the original commenter but I am a breastfeeding g mom, so that's not an option.
I learn so much about health and wellness from your excellent videos. I am 79 and in good health, no meds, I want to keep it that way and maintain my healthy golden years.....
I just love the way you simplify "complex' matters and cut right through the conflicting crap that's out on the internet. Many thanks
I am with you and your family and friends help me to come over and over again tomorrow morning 🌻 my friends are going well with me and my mom and dad and brother it will take care of yourself and your friends and I will be fine if you have strong suspicions that crime is being a good day today my dear sister and brother it was good morning my love 😍 I will be fine for now and you ❤️ 😍 ♥️ 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 girl. or. boy
Excellent video. I have a friend who was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease. She was overweight but she did a complete 360 and over the last year lost 100 lbs and her kidneys are stable. She drastically changed her diet and she has stuck to it and knowing her she will always stick to it.Thanks for sharing this info, I'm just over 2 years out from chemo and rad and I still have a few lingering side effects so I have to be aware of changes, hopefully someday I'll be back to normal lol.
Congratulations to you and your friend! 👍 ☺️
Hugs from Tasmania 💐👏👏👏😍
Should be a 180° lol
M 9999⁰
A 180 ,a 360 would mean she went right back to where she started.
Dr. Ekberg, I loved your dirty floors analogy! It’s a new way of learning for me, and your videos are so amazing, I’m learning so much! I am a type 2 diabetic, but I carry over much of what you have taught to my doctors and nurses, so they understand I am very committed to fixing the problem I have, and they are for the most part dedicated to helping me get back to as near normal as I can get. Thank you for the amazing advice, and my future without you, probably wouldn’t be possible, God Bless!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg!! You clearly explain and communicate in a way that is empowering and not condescending.
I have learned so much more from you then I have from any health professionals in my 56 years.
Not only is the information life saving but your ability to empower is as well!!
Your knowledge about health and the will to transmit to us so clearly is a life saver. Thank you Dr. Ekberg 👍
Great video. Loved the dirty floor analogy. The big pharma are probably right now working on a pill to “block” your vision.
After 2 years of watching your videos my biggest problem is figuring out what to do with my free time that I used to spend at the doctors office. Thank you!!!
Nice problem! 😄
Well done. ⭐️ Congratulations on taking responsibility for your own health.
😅😂
I signed up for your blood work course when you 1st offered it... Sooooo informative.
👍🏼👍🏼THANK YOU sooooo much for helping me to understand true health.
I TRUST ALL YOUR RESEARCH
i was diagnosed pre-diabetic when i was 8 and full diabetes when i was 10 and again when we moved to europe when i was 12, and when we moved to the usa when i was 14 or so and it was bad... i also had degenerative arthritis. doctors told me i would have to have knee surgery because i could barely walk. i was swolen everywhere. then i discovered why i was such a mess. at 17 i cut all chemicals, preservatives, colors, etc. then i cut processed food. then i cut all products that had sugar in the ingredient that were not fermented. then i cut bovine dairy. by then i was 19. by 21, i was body building and doing triathlons. they cannot find any sign of diabetes, arthritis, or tooth decay on me since then... i am in my upper 60's... the last time i had a cold or flu was early 80's. i have not been to a doctor since i left the airforce nearly 20yrs ago. i grow my own food and generate most of my own energy and cut my own firewood and split it with an axe instead of gas guzzling machine. i am physically very active as a result. when i die, i want to be composted and fed to my orchard and garden that are my oasis. live in balance with nature or die badly. live well 🙂
Do you eat meat? Fish ?
@@louisequadrelli7961 i have wild caught smoked salmon a couple times a year. i eat eggs from time to time. i eat organic goat and sheep cheese from time to time. that is all the animal based food i consume. but that is not as important as cutting out industrial food 🙂
You are Awesome 👍😊
@@christineanderson7371 just lucky 🙏
I started do 72 hours fasting every week 1 october 2022
Drop - 46 kilo (100lbs)
Got my life back..
I will contuine doing fasting every week till i reach my goalweight.
Eating Ketovore/carnivore since september 2019...
The diet is perfect..
But was impossible to drop weight... had stalled for 12 months in weighloss, because of insulinresistance in the body...
I did a fasting C-peptide/glucose
And it show i was not diabetic but had little to much insulin in body for making it possible to drop weight (my homa score was in september 1.62)
So started eat 2 times between 9.00AM-14.00PM fasting 14.00PM -9.00AM
+ the 72 hours fast every week...
And now 46 kilo is gone 😊😊😊
.
I do the same thing I've been doing it since June of last year I'm down 112lbs & have 40 more to go to get to my goal weight.
@Sven Eriksson. You lost this much weight in what, 3 & 1/2 months?!
@@almaburns6562 Yes...
I'm confused - if you fast from 2 PM every day to 9 AM the following day then you are fasting for 19 hours every day, correct? 19 x 7 = 133 hours per week? Where does the number 72 come into this plan?
@@carltoncotter2614 i fast 72 hours tuesday to friday every week, drink only salt water, plus intermittent fasting 19 hours per day friday to tuesday
Dr Fung, a nephrologist who opened my eyes to insulin, also explains this subject very well.
He saved my life after dxd with 3rd stage kidney disease.

I can't even describe how happy I am for finding this channel. I stop watching all other channel after i find myself here. There are so much stuff i can watch and processes myself to try to find what is work for me. Nobody i ever watch is more convincing for me that Dr. Ekberg. Thank you for doing what you are doing. A already lost 14 kg drop from 86 kg and goes closer and closer to my balance weight, Im nearly there after 6 months.
My Dad's kidneys were destroyed by high blood pressure. The first he knew of anything was when he was too tired to climb a flight of stairs. He received a transplant, it lasted him 29 years until he died of atherosclerosis
Thank you for all the effort in this video Dr Ekberg! It's amazing that I was so ignorant about the kidneys, especially the role of the kidneys. It really helps that you spend so much time explaining it, so thank you, and hope you have an awesome Friday!
Thank you @angelfriend3710 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄
Thank you Dr Ekberg!
I love all your videos.
@@terryaguirre3066 Um, I think you’re referring to Dr “Ekberg”?
@@klayvonisme You are correct.
I just want to appreciate the amount of work that you put into your craft. Amazing! Watching from Nigeria❤
I love you health experts on utube who are educating us on diet and what’s needed to turn things around. I’m stage 2 fatty liver cirrhosis, was telling my doctor for about 3 years I was hurting in my liver area, he laughed it off, turns out I was feeling my liver go bad. Since then, in the past several months, I’ve been following and listening to people like this man, and I’m slowly changing my diet, I had topped out at 165, I’m down to 148 now, and I’m 5’3’ female, most of my weight now is in my mid section. I was also diagnosed as President- diabetic, a doctor on utube said, no such thing, you better change your eatting habits now because you are headed to insulin or metformin in a matter of time. Doctors can’t tell the truth all the time, goverment pushes unhealthy diet so we have to take unhealthy meds. So glad to be able to listen to these experts!
Right! Most of the doctors are in cahoots with the Pharmaceutical industry (or Big Pharma)! They won't tell people decent alternatives because they know that the industry & the government won't make them any money.
They just prefer people to take the same medicines that they're prescribing you. And we're the ones who have to figure out alternatives ourselves!
He’s so knowledgeable and knows how to relay it in an understandable way… thank you
Thank you so much for being a good part of improving my health! I'm seeing positive results.🎉
Friday, the day you make us all a little wiser, thank you Sten and team. 👍
Thank you @SpamMouse. I'll let the team (spouse) know. 😄

Hats off to Sten & team 👍
Your ability to analyze; and communicate what you learn, is astounding. It all seems so straight forward and logical. The twisted road provided by most just keeps us from reaching goals. 'The shortest distance between two points is a straight line (road).' I will gladly travel your road from now on!
I love the positive outlook you have on this condition, doctor. People die of diagnoses every day. You provide hope and answers.
Dr. Ekberg is a brilliant communicator, reducing very complex subject matter to a presentation where even an otherwise ignorant layman can easily grasp the concepts and physiologic processes at hand. I would like to know if his superb lecturing skills came from being an undergraduate Human A & P professor/instructor for a decade or two.
Thank you @rangerbud. I never taught outside of my clinic or CZcams, but ever since starting chiropractic school and unraveling the magic and the miracle of the human body, I've been obsessed with explaining it to others. 😄
A gift like his can't be taught; it's inborn and developed. So thankful for his using it to teach us, the gift that multiplies millions of times over!
@@drekberg Could you do us chalky pedagogues a big favor? Make a video where you specifically address the many evils of fructose, that is, the unchecked consumption of soda, sweet drinks, and pureed fruit drinks, and tell how this affects blood glucose, glycogen levels, the tendency towards obesity, and the health of the liver? Whenever I see a student sucking down a 20 once Coke or Mountain Dew, as a T2D, I have the urge to throw a chair at them; my dean would not like me doing this. Instead, I could bring up your video and show them the profound evil of their ways.....

Your way of explaining creates animations in my brain. The Homa-IR calculation will make it easier for us to follow up. The basis of all diseases is based on diabetes, on the other hand, diabetes is based on malnutrition and technological ready-made foods. Thanks to Dr. Sten, we woke up. From Turkey..
I appreciate very much your educational video on this matter. I have applied some of what you have taught before I saw your video but now I will be more confident to continue to pursue it just because you explained it well. Thank you, Dr. Sten Ekberg
Sadly, my doctor didn't test my fasting insulin until I was already diabetic. Knowing what I Know now, I should have been tested for fasting insulin years before that. He knew I had kidney issues at the time, and high blood pressure.
Dr Ekberg!
Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Tack för allt du lär oss så mycket på din kanal här på youtube 👍
Soooo, soooo grateful for you, Dr. Ekberg! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing TRUTH.
I ended up with severe (stage 4) kidney disease due to a severe urinary tract infection. I didn't feel the usual symptoms of the UTI because I'm paralyzed due to a spinal cord injury, and I have no sensation below the level of my injury, so it snuck up on me and went systemic. Oddly, I don't have insulin resistance or diabetes. That could be due to my diet. I'm vegan, and have never been someone who eats sweets. One odd thing is that even though I'm not doing dialysis (I take meds which keep me alive, and which would be filtered out leading to my death if I did), my kidney functions have returned to near close to normal. My creatinine level has been measured at 2.0 for the last three times they have tested it. My doctor says that you can't reverse end stage kidney disease, but that whatever I'm doing, I should keep it up. As I said before, I'm vegan, and in addition I eat almost no processed foods. I pretty much make everything I eat from scratch, and I even grow some of my own food, including many of the herbs and spices I use. A lot of herbs and spices can be grown indoors. I even grow my own ginger and turmeric inside. The turmeric is super easy to dehydrate and grind in a spice grinder or coffee mill, and when you make it fresh like that, it tastes so much better than anything you can get commercially that there simply isn't any comparison.
But I digress. Another thing I do which might be helping is that I drink a lot of water. Since I'm paralyzed, I have to drink a lot of water to try to prevent UTI's. Drinking water is good for the kidneys, and also helps keep things clean. I live in a city where the water is particularly good, and where the city water supply comes from artesian wells. It tastes better than anything you can get in bottles, and it's not chlorinated all to the devil, and isn't fluoridated. It's just good sweet water which feels great going down.
I don't necessarily recommend my diet for others, but it has definitely worked for me. If you are in stage 4, and nothing else is working, you might try going vegan, not consuming much sugar, bread, drinking lots of water, and refraining from eating processed foods.
Keep in mind that my kidney disease was not the result of diabetes, and I have no idea what this sort of diet might have on someone with diabetes. Still, what Dr Ekberg is saying fits with what I've been eating all my life. I'm not going to be able to repair the damage to my kidneys, but I can and do keep the floors clean, and that has got to help.
Wow! You are amazing! Thank you for posting and I wish you all of life’s good things ❤
You're the best Dr Ekberg I love watching your videos and your calming voice is always lovely to listen to! You bring so much awareness and wisdom into my life I'm greatly appreciative of all that you do :)

Wouldn't it be great if children could learn this information about their bodies while young.
I lost my husband to kidney disease due to chronic hbp and these are things I wish we knew years ago, he would have still been here with me.
❤️
Sorry for your loss. My husband also died 3 years ago and his kidneys were bad, which we never knew. It was a nightmare for me.
The price we pay for distractions, worldly vanity, and lack of understanding and motivation. Now is the time to enjoy everything God has promised his Children. Shalom ❤️🔥
So sorry. Yes we all have to watch our blood pressure.
It appointed for man to die once and face judgment. Bible. 100% Everyone has a appointment with death. When a person dies for whatever reason, it was their appointment ( fate) no matter how they lived , they were going to die on that appointed day. We can control the quality of life by eating right , exercising, etc… but the time of life to end is in GODS hands not ours.
This is an outstanding video! Thank you for speaking in terms that I can understand. I watch this a number of times I want this to sink in, it is of such importance. Thank you again!
I love your talks and am also learning something new each time I listen to you. Thanks so much for your concern for your audience/patients
Man this guy is amazing. A wealth of information. It took my 52 years to learn how to eat right. Only after watching his videos. This guy really cares.
Excellent video! Dr Ekberg should have millions of subscribers!
Blessings to you Dr Eckberg!! I'm soooo glad you said that any 1 or 2 symptoms is not necessarily CKD BUT if several of them is happening at the same time, do the research AND see your MD. Most other videos make it seem like if you have one symptom then you definitely have CKD and they have people loosing their minds with worry!! Keep up the great work Dr!!!
By the Grace of God I reversed stage 4 CKD4 with no atrophy, eating only grassfed Red Meat and eggs, drank 1 gallon a day adding 2 full tbs of Himalayan Pink Salt.
Nothing else
OMAD 1 pound of meat most of the time and 4 eggs.
I worked out daily
I slept 8 hours daily
I sun showered daily
I showered only with cold water
My dad was CKD4 as well and he reversed as well
A nephew of mine with PKD also has have had success with carnivore but for him since it’s a generic or gene mutation but has stopped the cyst growth.
Drs had told me that I will never be able to eat animal meat anymore but their were wrong as with my dad and hundreds more that had have successfully reversed CKD in any stage by the grace of God
Best outcomes
Очень грамотно ,понятно
How long was your reversal process time?
@@edhopkins6589 for me it took 8 months
For my dad 1 year and 3 months
Idk if the age played a factor
Fabulous explanations, as usual. Keep up these great videos!
Dr.Ekberg, you are changing this world for the better. Deep love and appreciation for your work!
Dr Eckberg hair lotion comming soon
Immensely informative. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg. Job well done.
Thank you very much Dr. Ekberg... as usual, a video that is very informative and useful.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, my metabolic sendrome reversed as bllod records HOMA IR 12.2 to 1.14, my body weight : 87 to 72 kg even my prostate from 54 gr to 40 gr as a gift apart from reversing the metabolic sendrome. All has been achived after I found you and follow your advises in the videos, every chaange happens within less than a year, Thanks a lot...😀 I will never give up from my diet and your advises they are life saving...
I've had low GFR from 48 to 60 and after looking more closely at my trends it was related to medication or blood work done around times I was ill with something else. The body is an amazing feat of engineering that requires careful balance.
Absolute brilliant presentation! Thanks for sharing such important information!
Thank you Dr.Ekberg for this new video
May God Bless you more🙏
You are a legend. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for the true and unbelievable well presented knowledge about human health
Your videos are truly educational. Just awesome. Love the dirty floor analogy.
Thank you Dr. Sten! I follow a lot of your presentations. Appreciate your wisdom.
Thank-you Dr Sten Ekburg for sharing this video which is informative and helpful in caring our kidneys.
Just got my most recent labs. After 6 months on Keto very happy to see my Homa-IR at 0.85. Unfortunately I didn’t have the correct labs before I started so not sure where it started but probably over 1.5 based on my previous weight and SAD diet.
Thanks for speaking plainly about complex issues. Wish I had a doctor like you.
Doc, that was fascinating! I'll need to watch it again to get a full understanding. Thanks.
You're so informative, thanks. I always learn from you
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. FWIW I also started drinking only distilled water. Perhaps a factor after decades of TDS well water of over 300 ppm.
You might've been dehydrated when you tested low.
@@jd9119 Maybe, but not for 20 years in a row.
Funny but strong analogy of dirty floor. Epic comparison. I really enjoy and learn lot from your live blood work course. Every week waiting for the session eagerly as i wait for the yourube video. Learning lot lot about health and prevention. Thank you so much Dr Ekberg for your noble efforts
Thank you @celebratinglifewithmuthu1854 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄
I love your detailed and sensible explanations!
I just took Physiology class and this doctor explained it very well--he's like my Phys professor! My husband passed away from complications from DM typeII. I just subscribed to this channel & will be viewing more of his videos. Some so-called doctors spill out s/s & preventions etc. without any evidenced-based research! Thank you Dr. Ekberg :)
I want to thank you for all this information. Ive been watching you for a couple of years now and you have helped me tramendisley. 1 year ago in January my ALC was 12.5 now this January my ALC is 6.7. I don't drink ANY soda and have changed my diet. Thank you frim the bottom of my heart. 💙
Tremendously
I'm just curious as to whether you are on medication for a 6.7 A1C?
Boşu boşuna hastalarımız oluyor bazı Dr ne yaptığını bilmiyor...hasta tehlikeye düşüyor bilgine tesekurler
I absolutely love the "dirty floor" analogy. Introducing a nonsensical element to open up one's understanding on how to take control back- very intelligent. Health diagnosis is not always an end-all life sentence.
I LOVE this channel. One of the very best channels in nutrition and health!! Perhaps the best.
The body is such an intelligent design in every aspect, it's mind boggling in how complex it is. The human eye, DNA, kidneys, the liver the heart and the list goes on and on. Our creator gave us a lot of things to marvel at !! Thank you Doctor Sten for explaining much of this to us in layman's terms. I think if mankind hadn't ruined our own food supplies in favor of the all mighty dollar, we would be much healthier and with less disease.
It has been said that Darwin admitted that if complexity of design could be proven that his theory would not hold up. Complexity of design proves there is a designer/creator.
Genesis 1:1
@@njsongwriter he didnt
It obviously a chaotic design by chance. Any Creator would have done it much better and more logically.
@@NoFaithNoPain Do a study on DNA. That is without a doubt proof of intelligent design...not to mention the perfect balance to sustain all the unique life forms on this planet. It's a bit beyond random chance.
I appreciate this. I want to learn more about how the body works and take care of it better. Medical officals are important but these days they are so busy to explain anything. I understand why simply because people must take more responsibility for their own health.
Incredibly important information right here!! Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg. God bless you
This was a wonderful and thoughtful description and presentation of the kidneys, helped me understand it quite well. Thank you for taking your time to make this educational video. 🙏
Your ability to explain and unpack complex topics is superb. I think even my 10 yo nephew can understand this. This was eye-opening information. Thank you.
For the last 10 years Kaiser said I had CKD because my creatinine levels were always in the 1.31 range. I think the highest was 1.50. What they didn't take into consideration was my body mass and the fact that I lifted weights 4 times a week. I also was on creatine supplement. I recently took my annual CBC test which showed a EGFR of 62 which again has been normal for me. All other kidney tests were normal range ie Uric acid..Bun. I learned about another test the cystain C blood test that is supposed to be more accurate in assessing kidney function. This test showed my EGFR was 88. I wish Kaiser would've done this test instead of me doing the research and paying for it.
NEED ADVICE: Ok, so I think you and I are on the same page. I got my blood test from QUEST DIAGNOSTIC. Here’s why:
I’m 38 and my egfr is at 89-91, approximately. Shouldn’t it be at 100? I don’t have pre-diabetes, clear urine, protein levels seem normal-along with sodium and pottasium. My vitamin D and b12 were high- along with my cholesterol and I’m low on MCV (anemic) but take iron supplements. My hemoglobin seems okay too. The thing is no one mentioned this to me till I started paying attention to my charts but I have been working out since about 31-32 years old so my egfr was the same, then. Am I at health risk? My creatine is at 1.09 and I weigh about 153lbs.
Thank you for that information. I come from a long line of family members that have pkd so constantly worried and paranoid. My GFR has been at 60 for a decade now and all other blood work is in normal range. My doc aways says it’s because I’m overweight or dehydrated. But even when I lost a ton of weight it still was at 60. I will look into that other test. 😊
Do u have foamy urine?
I had a GFR of 48 back in 2013 age 42 , dlightly elevated creatine 1.2, nephrologist was suspicious this was wrong for a lean athletic lass . He sent off test for Cystatin C result 133 GFR. Reg test still showing high 50’s low 60’s but I no longer worry
@@chryssyrae any advice you can provide for me. I, too, wrote on the same thread.
Thank you for this comprehensive explanation.
Such an informative and well presented video on the subject. I really needed this today.
Thank you for this video. Everything you put out has helped me so much to obtain optimal health.
Thank you @mjequality. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Thank you very much for all the eye opening you do!
You are welcome @zurabkaisidi. Thank you for watching. 😄
Thank you so much for this information you don't realize how much you're doing for people who are going through something like this!
Awesome Doc! Absolutely awesome!! Good stuff!!
Very nicely enjoyed Dr. Sten. Thanks for sharing this
You are welcome @sureshckhub7456. Thank you for watching. 😄
Dr. Ekberg, first but less important: "nocturnia" is a typo -- you mean "nocturia." Second and more vital: your videos helped me reverse my high blood pressure with diet alone, and you started me on a path of learning about nutrition and my own health that are affecting not only me, but my family and my community. I really appreciate what you're doing. Thank you!
Yesss!!! I did it too. After 5 years of dialysis I said NO MORE!!! I’ve been off dialysis 2 years now. I fought back!
Another fantastic informative video thank you Dr. Ekberg. I give this and all of your videos 5 ⭐️
Dear Dr Ekberg,
First of all I would like to wish you a very happy and safe new year!
Secondly I would like to thank you for your extensive research and hard work in which you have been passing it on to us! Much appreciated
I am a diabetic type 2 since a very long time! I never took any tablet or insulin for my diabetes management. I believe there is something not quite right with my diabetes!! I was hoping you might be able to help me or shed some light on it!
I have always been very active person; I never eat lots of sweet or sugar especially the last two years or so! I do not smoke or drink alcohol. In the morning I usually eat two eggs in the morning with a toasted slice of protein bread or some time I just take a coffee. I have one main meal a day and that is usually around 16:00-17:00 and never later. My diet always includes big bowel of salad with Greek cheese and lots of olive oil. My diet usually contained at least 4-5 portions of the super vegetable you mentioned in your lectures.
When I wake up in the morning my blood sugar level is always between 8 to 9! When I am hungry my blood sugar level never goes down only when I eat! During Ramadan I usually fast 20 hrs on average per day, you would expect my sugar level to go down but it is usually around 9 or 10!!!
The moment I eat something even if it was a piece of fruit like dates or figs my sugar level goes down!? Also to give you an idea yesterday when I woke up my BSL was 8.5. I had my usual breakfast and went for 4km walk which I usually do every day when possible. My sugar lever gradually came down and by the time I went to bed it around 22:00 it was 6.5!
I tried a special test recommended by my Endocrinologist in Zurich that took nearly two months to complete (DNA test?) the test could not identify my type of diabetes? That was a waste of CHF 2000!! Just so you know my HbA1c is around 7 (when I am behaving well with food)!! And my Thyroid test is normal! Thou I have one thyroid removed in 2014 and this was compensated by an additional tablet of thyroxin level .50 every day.
I am 65 years of age! What do you think is the case here?
I appreciate your input since you seem more up to speed in term of medical as well as dietary knowledge
Many thanks and sincere best wishes
Al
Thank you for this information. How about high Uric Acid levels and ckd, bloodpressure and hearth disease?
i made sure to save the info in my note app. Much appreciation for a very enlightening video.
Excellent presentation. The human body is amazing yet so fragile. All of us are only one breath, one heartbeat away from eternity
Thanks,the best of the best,in a relaxed ,clear,simplified way of teaching the masses.Incredible gift to humanity.Priceless.Keep healthy,Keep learning,God blessings.
20 years ago, aged 53, I was (I believed) a healthy person. No obvious signs of any problem. But I went to my GP Dr because I noticed my ankles and feet seemed to be swelling through the day. The Dr's reaction was "Don't worry that's normal". Not being convinced I saw another Dr a few weeks later and he did a blood test which discovered my poor creatinine level. That was the only reason I discovered I had CKD. The Dr told me at the time, that my kidneys were 20 years older than they should be. It was border-line Stage 1/stage 2. I was prescribed tablets for hypertension of the kidneys. 20 years on I am on the same dosage, now in stage 3A but still no further symptoms, only edema in my lower legs.
Always very inspiring and great videos. Thx for sharing.
Great HOMA-IR explanation!! That starts at the 11:30 mark. The key is to ask your doctor to include a test called 'Glucose' on your normal blood labs as well as a test called 'Insulin' so you can calculate your HOMA-IR which is showing whether you have Insulin Resistance and/or Type 2 Diabetes. Doctors are sometimes 'resistant!' ha ha to adding the 'Insulin' test to your labs but just ask them calmly and that you are interested in your own health. Dr. Ekberg explains it all really clearly.
My kidney disease was caused by a medication that I was taken for my diabetes. My kidney disease was discovered by routine blood test, that my Endocrinologist gave me. The Creatinine level was elevated (2.4). I then had a biopsy of my kidneys. The found scarring on my kidneys. I was diagnosed with stage three kidney disease. After I was taken off my diuretics, given a MRI; the doctors said the cause of my kidney disease was the medication I was taken for my diabetes. My Creatinine has stayed the same, since I was taken off the medication. Since this was a first for this medication, they doctor wrote a paper about this.
What was the medication??
Name it. Metformin,Glyburide?
