ADPKD polycystic kidney disease (again)

[Guest guest]

Does anybody has some experience in treatment of polycystic kidney

disease. I am in the pre-dialysis phase and wondering if there is something to

improve my kidney function?

ADPKD is one of the most frequent inheritable diseases, but I can't find

anything about it in alternative medicine??

Thanks in advance

this can be a difficult condition to treat, but appears to be directly

related to the same metabolic effects that promote insulin resistance

and diabetes. Thus, reduce CHOs, increase fiber and quality fats,

proteins and above-ground vegetables, and supplement with omega 3s,

magnesium and zinc. Specific herbs of benefit include kidney

restoratives incl. Shilajit, Rehmannia and Nettle seed. For insulin

resistance specifically we have Feungreek and Bitter Melon, and any of

the Ginsengs, as well as chromium.
