Oh my goodness . I have been reading Medical periodicals and books ever since I was 15 years old and may I say that these two people are a match made in Medical Heaven . Thanks so much guys . I wish that you both go right to the top with your future endeavours in spreading the heavenly medical news and knowledge that we need to hear . Bless you both .
In my country we cook, drink turmeric juice mixed with other herbs , eat turmeric flower and it leafs. Turmeric used for almost every dish in our cooking. I am glad to know that curcumin in turmeric has beneficial to the health 😊
I'm reading turmeric has oxcilates which can cause kidney stones. Any difficulty with kidney stones?
I love hearing that you use herbs every day for cooking such a beautiful benefit for your health. in reading more about turmeric most practitioners are stating that turmeric should be taken with a fat, such as milk, almond milk type beverage, which allows it to be more absorbed into the digestive tract. Love to hear your thoughts on this.
you guys got it right!!! Trying today!
@@stevenmcvey7363There are no teats on plants.
Oh wow, I didn't know about combining tumeric with black pepper. Good tip!
Don't forget fats. Tumeric needs both black pepper and fats to help to absorb it.
I mix turmeric with black pepper and some olive oil and spread it on my lunchtime salad sandwich.
Dr. Hashmi, thank you for mentioning to use the powder over the capsules and to ensure it’s USDA organic! That’s really important, especially with Tumeric and Ginger. Also, for renal transplant patients, both spices can affect Tacrolimus and increase the serum TAC levels, so don’t use the capsules for either, just some of the powders sparingly when cooking.
Love your videos.
Please keep you programs up
It's good to know the incredible benifits of turmeric. Thanks watching from the Philippines.
Our pleasure!
Pinay sister Andria! You know, when my Filipina wife & I visit the Philippines each year, we buy a bunch of Turmeric-Ginger hot tea preparations and bring them back to the States. When we ever get sick or a cold, that amazing tea seems to really sooth!! Ingat, sister! 🇺🇸💛🇵🇭
@@PlantBasedKidneyHealthwhat are the best food for people with cycst in their kidneys?
Can turmeric be beneficial in chronic kidney infection?
Fasting, plant base diet, ( fruits that help heal kidneys pineapple, water melon, grapes, cranberries, applea, and almonds) supplements like basic ones without all the bad fillers will help heal the kidneys.
Get some exercise like walking
❤
Fasting cures cancer I'm certain it can heal the kidneys. Look into Fasting for healing. My mom has stage 3 kidney failure. I'm working with her to help her get healthy too.
I have hypertension and pre-diabetic. If I don't get healthy and change my life I'm next. So now I'm almost 1 month in on a plant base diet. I don't eat any meat. Only fish she seafood. Mostly whiting fish and on occasion mackerel. Whiting fish and tilapia and several others have barely or the lowest amount of mercury.
God bless you
I would think, without knowing, that lyposomal curcumin would be the best form of curcumin. And still have turmeric for all the other chemical constituents. Nordic Naturals makes a gummy with Longvida brand of lyposomal curcumin. The main problem is they're expensive. But if they're absorbed fully then maybe they're a deal? Just throwing that thought out there.
You're both looking really healthy.
Can turmeric be used as a daily tea ? While suffering nephronic syndrome currently not in remission (pos +2/+3)
Another doctor says that curcumin is an issue if there are kidney stones. I now have tiny stones, so I'm concerned. I only use about 1/8 tsp in cooking a day but also take supplement "Bio-curcumin"
Yes. Beats are also high in oxalates and in your condition you should not be ingesting.
I have used 1/2 tsp turmeric powder with a pinch of black pepper and 1 TBS coconut oil in my golden milk daily for the past 2 years without a problem.
Taking Tumeric with Black Pepper capsules from a reputable company. All ingredient's are organic. Couldn't take arthritis drugs because of having a kidney removed due to cancer in 2003. Now I am trying to eat healthier to improve kidney function as I am in stage 2. I also have dibetes type 2 and my sugar is already lowering with my diet change.
Boil Turmeric+guava leaves bless by nature the secrets.. 🌱🤲
One adviser said that turmeric powder with black pepper in milk was far more effective than capsule forms of supplementation.
I agree, 100% unless you’re adding black pepper and mixing it with milk (a fat) the benefits are very minimal. So it’s important that new users know this.
You guys are now my GO TO for supplement help. Thank you!!
Our pleasure!
Wow I didn’t know about this but for some reasons am using them already for few months now and I felt great.
In other words, there are no conclusive studies on the benefits but, very important, there are no studies confirming otherwise or negative side effects. Therefore, better take than not because you cannot afford to waiting for studies conclusion, which, by the way, may never come in your lifetime.
Thanks for the update,what are remedies for Kidney cyst solution,,,?
Thank you so much for your help👏🏻💕
Thanks for this informative vid. I'm hoping it is true that another variable of Turmeric is especially bioactive and health enhancing: as well: fermented Turmeric. I've found a small amount of information about this online, but enough that I use 1/2 to 1t organic Turmeric powder per pint when starting second ferment Kombucha. So the Turmeric powder ferments along with the rest of the Kombucha ingredients for a few days. This adds an exotic under taste to the Kombucha and, I hope, enhances it's health value.
Turmeric from India has been of concern along with numerous drug recalls.
Good info for a good healthy life.
Thank you
Turmeric is very high in oxalate, and oxalate are not good for someone with kidney problems.
Wow
Very good info. Thanks. Please slow speech a little and really enunciate words like "were," "weren't," "did," "didn't" clearly so there's no misunderstanding of the outcome of a study. Thank you so much.
You can slow speed
@@brendaboden5153 Thanks for the suggestion. It's constructive criticism, intended to help her and the many who listen to her, especially ones with any hearing difficulty. She has researched important info. Enunciating (especially "nt's") clearly will help.
CZcams gives you an option.
Where in you can very very easily slow or even speed up the pace of the video and the audio thereon..
Let anyone speak the way they are comfortable with.
@@ankurjain4304 speed , slow or fast, won't solve everything. Clear diction can usually even be understood at fast speed. It can be a night or day difference.
@@karenbuckner1959 exactly
It can be understood at any rate the person speaks.
Than why complain her diction per se!?
A great educative lecture, thanks a bunch, please keep it up, May Almighty ALLAH be with both of you.

I am growing turmeric and ginger plants in my front garden. What about Bitter Lettice(Lactuca virosa), to deal with inflammation?.
To my ears Michele's speech is perfect.
Looking on from Trinidad and Tobago.
Very interesting info.
Welcome and thanks for watching!
Love you
Excellent warning about adulterants in turmeric.. Test for , some name brands are very disappointing. Thanks for INFO..
Glad it was helpful for you!
We have the raw plant rhidomes of tumeric in the Caribbean turmeric tea great
Thank you from NC
I think you have to be careful with Turmeric with kidney disease. I think if you take it in food preparation with a healthy fat it is good. however, when I took it as a supplement it gave me symptom similar to a kidney stone attack-so be careful
We definitely recommend for everyone to check with their nephrologist and renal dietitian for individualized recommendations before starting any new supplement, including turmeric!
Really!!
All your information is confusing and contradictory. PLEASE study MORE. You are suppose too know WHAT you are talking ABOUT.????????? Too much flip flop in communications. Do you even KNOW???
Is appls cider vinegar safe ffor kidney decease,
What about
Sir,
I love your videos. You both are doing a nice and trumendus job. Actually your channel is providing lots of knowledge about CKD.
Thank you so much.
Sir
I intend to share my problem with you.
I am 47 years old male.
I have been suffering from a high Uric Acid problem for the last eleven years.
Due to high Uric Acid sometimes the CRETENINE goes higher than its normal range.
I consulted a Doctor many times and he prescribed FEBUXOSTAT 40mg.
But when i am stopping the said medicine Uric Acid is raising high.
Please Please Please give me advice and suggestions and help me to get rid of this. problem.I shall be highly grateful to you.
Sir,
I hope you will understand because I don't know how to write good English.
How are you? I hope you are well. My mother has the same problem. What did I do?

@@Mustufaaboabdallah May Allah bless you.
Brother You should consult a Nephrologist.
i use qunaol Tumeric ginger gummies what do you think about this product
Is the fresh turmeric beneficial,and how can I know the quantity that I can intake each day.
Turmeric root can be used in cooking instead of turmeric powder. Typically 1/2-1 inch of turmeric root is equivalent to 1 teaspoon turmeric powder. So depending what a recipe calls for you can make a substitution...as far as how much you should have each day, you will want to check with your physician/renal dietitian for individualized recommendations.
I cook my rice with tumeric powder for my sister with CKD,HOW Else can she take the tumeric
My nephrologist warned me against turmeric supplements. He said it can cause as much damage as ibuprofen. However, he said turmeric is fine in smaller doses for cooking only.
Turmeric used in cooking is great! We're glad you checked with your doctor and got individualized recs!
Is drinking ginger root tea and 1/2 teaspoon of organic tumeric powder daily bad for kidneys?
Hello,
My son has CKD due to ureter which were blocked since birth but after ureter reimplantation surgery he is doing much better. Can tumeric help build his kidneys function
Black pepper is high oxalate so I use white pepper. Tumeric is high oxalate too but has got lots of great healing stuff as well so the jury is still out. I am still taking it but I haven't got kidney stones. I wouldn't take it if I had kidney stones
Black pepper and turmeric used in cooking are not a concern for oxalates. For example, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper is only 3 mg oxalate. Someone with high urine oxalate levels would likely want to avoid turmeric supplements because those are much more concentrated/high in oxalate.
Does turmeric interfer with Tacolimus anti-rejection medicine?
Most curcumin extracts include piperine, to facilitate absorption. I presume this is achieved by stimulating increased stomach acid. If so, is that a problem. Are there any adverse renal effects from this piperine.
Dose/day please, thanks!
Very going info
Was there a question for the Dr. …the guest expert?
thanks
Tumeric is good for high creatinine & have Gout?
Thanks❤ I use Liposomal Products for my kidney disease from Purazell (Germany). But there are also product available from Almighty.
Watching from Trinidad
Hello! Thanks for watching.
Can i use turmeric...when my left kidney have stage 4? Please help me to know more...thank you doctor for your vedeo
what do you mean about Berberine ?
Turmeric is high in oxalate content. Is it good for the kidneys?
Using turmeric simply as a spice/food seasoning will be the safest route vs supplementation unless you talk with your urologist/nephrologist about your specific case and if you should supplement or not. The supplement oxalate content will vary depending on if it is turmeric root powder or extracted curcumin.

Can turmeric be beneficial in chronic kidney infection?
czcams.com/video/gyhBCPM5X0Y/video.html
Then use curcumin supplement instead of tumeric
Turmeric has over 1000 oxalate per serving , people with polycystic kidney disease need 100 or less a day of oxalate because oxalate are what form the cysts.
What about the high ozalates in turmeric and black pepper?
Using turmeric and black pepper in cooking is not an issue. Turmeric as a supplement can be high in oxalates. So someone with high urine oxalate levels would not want to take it.
Caution using tumeric as it can cause prolonged bleeding.
Will this increase risk kidney stone formation? I have hx
Is turmeric okay to take if we have oxalate sensitivities and high gout issues?
People with high urine oxalate generally should avoid turmeric supplementation. Using turmeric as a seasoning in food is generally safe. Always check with your healthcare team for individualized recommendations.
@@PlantBasedKidneyHealth drink lemon water
how much gram or mg per day would you recommend?
I make my own turmeric powder frm roots that I dry. Is it safe
Basically there is no cure for chronic kidney disease but its progression can be slowed down before reaching dialysis.
Can one day one meal - 23 hrs fasting may help?
How much sodium should someone with CKD 3A be allowed daily? I keep it as low as possible but it would be nice to have an idea. Working on getting a Nephrologist again. Change in insurance. Thank you.
A low sodium diet is generally up to 1500-2000 mg/day.
No one talks about the oxalates in turmeric.
Check your turmeric for lead.
a bit off topic, l have stage 1 kidney disease . l recently developed back pain , what is the safest type of painkiller to take without harming the kidneys, ? l am currently taking Paracetamol ? what if l need to take painkillers for a few months will that hurt my kidneys
do immediately consult nephrologist as quick as possible
@@karthiiekeyan My doctor said he thinks the lower back pain has nothing to do with my kidneys and l had a ultra sound of my kidneys a few months ago and it showed my kidneys normal and GFR normal, except l have some protein in urnie
Hi my suggestion would be to avoid painkillers if you can bear with the pain.
Go with a vegetarian diet.
Lee hull's stopping kidney disease is a classic book. You will get more info from it sothat, don't have to regret in life later.
Please don't take any pain killers...
Saw a man doing a particular exercise for kidney stretch.
Thank you for all you are doing can you pls tell me can you bring your GFR 23 up if you have stage 4 kidneys disease .
I had read one comment from Dr.Hashmi youtube channel ,the title was : plant based diet in treating and preventing CKD.the guy said :Dr. Hashmi, thanks so much for the education. I am a 70 year old male and I was diagnosed with CKD 3 months ago. My Dr. strongly advised me to immediately start a plant based diet and to eat less red meat. My GFR was 29 and after one week of diet change it bumped up to 35. I made the decision to go 90% vegetarian and eat fish a couple times a week. Ater 2 1/2 months my GFR is up to 48 and headed in the right direction. My Dr. says I am on the way to regaining lost kidney function. I dropped several pounds and feel more energetic. Thanks again and I am a firm believer in what you are saying. The proof is in the bloodwork.You can check iy out yourself. Good luck.
How are you? I hope you are well. My mother has the same problem. What did I do?

Dr. Sebi says it's no good so im not buying anymore
Is it OK to drink apple cider vinegar if I have protein in my urine?
You never want to drink apple cider vinegar straight as it can damage your esophagus. Many people mix anywhere from 1 tsp to 1 Tbsp. with water or use it in dressings/marinades which isn't a problem!
My mother is having pkd and I'm giving her curcumin tablets, is it safe?
You'll want to check with her nephrologist so they can provide an individualized recommendation!
Good job
Give her half teaspoon of turmeric in warm water, two or three times a day. It is very good.
It is not ok for pkd it's high in oxalate ,pkd needs 100 oxalate or less a day turmeric has over a week's earth in 1 tsp just like chocolate , will progress your pkd very fast
milk chocolate yes but dark chocolate 70% min is very beneficial
Does turmeric change the color of your urine
I wish i were ?
Does turmeric cause kidney stones ?
We will have an episode specifically on this to explain in detail, but...turmeric is a higher oxalate spice (this does not mean it causes calcium oxalate stones). Used in cooking, much smaller doses are consumed. For example, 1 teaspoon of turmeric is higher in oxalates, but one typically does not consume 1 teaspoon each day, let alone at one meal....the anti-oxidant/anti-inflammatory benefits of curcumin may help inhibit stone formation. Different supplement types also contain different oxalate amounts.....Overall, you want to check with your physician prior to starting to take any supplement. When used in cooking, it is generally not consumed in excessive amounts.
@@PlantBasedKidneyHealth physicians never recommend any supplements. :(
@@CraigMullins1 I can notice that and totally agree with you … and they recommend viewers and to talk to the nephrologist, the same doctor that over-medicate patients with no positive results … I recommend them to be brave like many doctors in CZcams are and be honest and consistent , otherwise …

Yak yak fast fast
Amen and amen
youre talking too much. Please let your guest as expert speak. Why would you invite him if you can speak on the subject much more expertly?
Too much misinformation. Do you really know??????? Contradiction at its finest. Sorry.
What about instances of high potassium in the blood? Since turmeric is high in potassium do we need to worry about that if it’s so healthy for the kidneys?
Turmeric used in cooking is not a concern potassium wise! 1 teaspoon is ~ 65 mg of potassium. You should discuss with your doctor before taking a supplement though since it is possible it could have higher/more concentrated levels of potassium.
