I can now post a success story. I am very excited to share that my transition to a vegan diet has brought a significant change to my condition. Two months ago I was diagnosed with Stage 5 (end stage) Kidney Disease. A shock, to say the least. There was no warning. I have been overweight, but relatively healthy, my entire life. One year ago I began having fevers, but they could not figure out why. Now, one year later... here I am with full blown Kidney Disease.
The great news is... my sister told me about a book called The China Study and then told me about Dr. McDougall. I researched this site and much of the information about Kidney Disease. I have been in treatment for almost two months without a change in my condition until I started eating vegan just a couple weeks ago. Changing my diet made HUGE difference. My kidneys are beginning to function again. It looks to be a long journey back to health, but I am confident that I will get healthy again and I will not have to live on medications or dialysis. I am looking forward to posting my progress and seeing the wonderful changes that take place.
