amylodoisis

[Guest guest]

Hello Denise,

 

I do have some experience in treating amyloidosis. I have helped two people

actually. How impaired are her kidneys?Is it just her kidneys, or is it present

in orther organs as well? Which type does she have? There are three major

types.. WHat are her Doctors saying? What medications is she presently on?

Knowing which type is extremely important as types two and three can be related

to other diseases. How are her kidneys currently functioning? The biggest cause

of this disease in my opinion is related to diet.Is or has she been on a hgih

protein diet? Is she overweight, and if so how much? This would just be the

start of questioning, just to get an idea of where she is at, and what stage the

disease process is in. Sincerely MARK OH one other thing..... SHe needs to

start taking Milk Thistle right away. I would suggest 200 mgs three times daily.

I buy this herb in bulk, but if you buy it in capsule form you can also look for

something called silymarin, which is the active

ingredient in milk thistle Amyloidosis is a disease in which insoluable protein

fibers are deposited in tissues and organs impairing their function. She needs

to take in more magnesium and B6. Foods rich in magnesium are leafy green

vegetables, dark green vegetables, nuts, seeds, avocados, dried apricotws,whole

grains, soy products. Foods rich in Vitamin B6 are whole grains, sweet potatoes,

avocados, fish egg yolks, cauliflower. I personaly would stay away from animal

products, and she probably needs to cut her protein intake. Forcing the liver

and kidneys at this time to metabolize and process excess protein is not good.

These would just be general things that she should be doing anyway, but at this

time would be even more helpful to hre body and this disease. They will not

interfere with any treatment she currenly may be on. THis is serious, and she

needs to act as quck as possible
