Do you or a loved one suffer from Chronic Kidney Disease? Dealing with this life changing disease can be a heavy burden for anybody. Nobody should have to deal with this unfortunate disease alone.
1 in 3 adults in the U.S. is at risk for kidney disease. Some demographic groups are at higher risk.
Chronic Kidney Disease or CKD affects an estimated 37 million people in the U.S. (15% of the adult population; more than 1 in 7 adults). Approximately 90% of those with kidney disease don't know they have it.
Kidney disease is more common in women (14%) than men (12%). But for every 2 women who develop end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), 3 men's kidneys fail.
What Causes Kidney Disease?
The two main causes of kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure. Other life altering conditions can
come from CKD such as:
- Gout Anemia
- High Phosphorus
- Heart Disease
- High Potassium
- Pruritus (itchy skin)
- Decreased immune Response
- Pregnancy complications
- End Stage Kidney Disease
People with kidney disease are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease and death at all stages of kidney disease. Kidney disease and heart disease are linked and have common risk factors, such as diabetes and hypertension. Each condition can lead to or worsen the other.
Finding Hope Through The Pain
Chronic kidney disease comes with a huge burden. Although the fight won't be easy, there are programs available that can help relieve your stress and bring you a peace of mind.
There is one program in particular that has proven to have changed thousands of lives around the world. This program focuses on all natural methods to treat your body.
The Kidney Disease Solution
The Kidney Disease Solution is an all natural CKD treatment program. Naturopath, nutritionist and kidney specialist Duncan Capicchiano ND has spent over a decade studying how diet can help to restore kidney health and function in people with chronic kidney disease.
Together with his wife Fiona Chin ND – also a naturopath and nutritionist – Duncan has gathered all of this research into The Kidney Disease Solution, a natural program that has helped over 25,000 people to date.
A core part of this program is the alkaline diet, by far the most effective nutritional protocol Duncan and Fiona have found to date.
How The Alkaline Diet Can Help To Heal Your Kidneys
Before we explain what the alkaline diet is, let’s discuss pH. Every single process in your body depends on chemical reactions, which take place in liquid solutions like the blood.
The pH of these solutions refers to how acidic or alkaline they are, with 0 being the most acidic and 14 being the most alkaline.
Your body operates within a very narrow window somewhere in the middle, between around 7.35 and 7.45. Even the tiniest shift outside of this range can disrupt your vital biochemical processes and cause cell and tissue damage.
Your kidneys are critical for regulating pH level and maintaining the acid-alkaline balance. One of their roles is to secrete something called a buffer, made from carbonic acid and an alkaline bicarbonate base.
When your blood is too acidic, bicarbonate works to increase the pH, and when it’s too alkaline, carbonic acid works to decrease the pH, bringing it back into the safe window.
This system of balance is very effective, but even healthy kidneys have limits to the amount of acidity they can handle.
In people with chronic kidney disease, this limit is much lower. When the capability of the kidneys is overwhelmed, the result is chronic metabolic acidosis.
This causes an accumulation of acid in the bloodstream and tissues, essentially suffocating the body...
What Is An Alkaline Diet?
Naturopath, nutritionist and kidney specialist Duncan Capicchiano ND has spent over a decade studying how diet can help to restore kidney health and function in people with chronic kidney disease.
Together with his wife Fiona Chin ND – also a naturopath and nutritionist – Duncan has gathered all of this research into The Kidney Disease Solution, a natural program that has helped over 25,000 people to date.
A core part of this program is the alkaline diet, by far the most effective nutritional protocol Duncan and Fiona have found to date.
An alkaline diet emphasizes “alkalizing” foods that relieve the burden of acidosis on your kidneys and the rest of your body. Duncan stresses that all cases of kidney diseases are unique and diet is just one (albeit very important) piece of the puzzle. However, he says that by targeting the common denominator – acidity – you can take a significant load off your kidneys in a matter of hours.
Not only can this give your kidneys a much-needed opportunity to heal, but it can also benefit a host of other conditions like:
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Cardiovascular damage
- Immune deficiency
- Hormonal imbalances
- Digestive issues
- Muscle and joint pain
- Low energy and chronic fatigue
- Weight gain and obesity
- Gout
- Premature ageing
This is just a small snapshot of the conditions that an alkaline diet can improve or heal. Imagine being able to set not just your kidneys, but your entire body on the path to healing in just a couple of hours, using what you already have in your pantry.
Imagine how much more affordable good health would be when your medicine is the food you’re already buying!
