Delay Dialysis
THERE IS HOPE!
It is possible to improve your health and delay dialysis!
A low protein diet and a supplement of a balanced formula of essential amino
acids at each meal has been shown to delay the time to dialysis(1,2) and even
reverse some kidney problems when treatment was started early(3). These studies
also showed that the diet was as effective in people with diabetes as in those
without it, a key finding as diabetes increases the risk of kidney failure
significantly.(1)

If you have kidney disease you need Dr. Mackenzie Walser's book, Coping with Kidney Disease: A 12-Step Treatment Program to Help You Avoid Dialysis
You can buy a copy of Dr. Walser's book from Amazon by clicking this link. In his book, you can read about how to avoid dialysis by lowering your creatinine and BUN while increasing your serum albumin level.
The supplements Dr. Walser talks about in his book are sold by a company that we've found to be following his treatment program and research quite closely for many years, Calwood Nutritionals. You can visit their website and purchase the amino acid supplements to follow his treatment plan here: https://www.calwoodnutritionals.com
Furthermore, the researchers and owners at Calwood Nutritionals are both knowledgeable and helpful. In our experience, they will make every effort to help you follow Dr. Walser's treatment program and avoid going on dialysis.
