Hope for kidney patients & essential for all diabetics
GET THIS BOOK!
This is of vital importance. There are doctors and nutritionists that are unaware of a study and book done by Johns Hopkins Nephrology Chief, Dr. Mackenzie Walser,M.D.
He published the eating plan, and study information in a lifesaving book; Coping with Kidney Disease: a 12- Step Treatment Program to Help You Avoid Dialysis. https://www.amazon.com/Coping-Kidney-Disease-Treatment-Dialysis/dp/0471274232/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1550741444&sr=1-1-fkmr1&keywords=dr+walser+copin
I only wish we knew about this information before Fariborz went on dialysis. This is why gathering knowledge is critical.

Just some thoughts
We are what we eat.
Here we are in the midst of another type of horrible pandemic, the corona virus, COVID-19. There are many that have lost their lives, and we are saddened by each and every shortened life. What has become apparent from gathered health histories, is that people with underlying health conditions are at an even greater risk of death from the corona virus as well as other diseases.
We can now take this opportunity to change our behaviors. The best defense is a strong nutritional offense. Whole fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains are the foundation of good health. They provide complete nutrition along with protective nutrients to help the body maintain balance.
As life begins to return to some form of normal, we all have a choice to make significant changes that can support improving our overall health and well-being.
In the words of Neal Donald Walsh, "we are capable of being unconditionally loving, totally conscious, fully aware, truly understanding, profoundly wise, abundantly clear, endlessly patient, wonderfully compassionate, completely accepting, invariably kind, consistently helpful, and remarkably inspiring".
