Let's face it, medications can tax your liver and kidneys.  I get my yearly tests and they stay normal, I believe because I take just a couple supplements that strengthen them.  I am not a doctor, I am just telling you what I take to help.  Feel free to share if you take anything.  I take Standard Process, Arginex, choline and Livaplex.  I also take a great liver supplement by Thorne Research S.A.T  and Professional Botanicals Kidney.  All these items can be bought on Amazon or by doing a Google search.  

 
WOW, i think that Livaplex is the only thing ive ever seen in my life that contained bovine prostrate!!!  I take inositol and milk thistle for the liver.  Ill look in to the others you mentioned.  Thanks for the list!

 
Recently I've been worried about my kidneys do to all the medications I'm on that are processed through it. I'm starting to get tests done to make sure they are functioning good but I should of been doing that for years.

I know inositol has a bunch of good health effects but didn't know it can help the liver, I need to read more about it. All the research that I've read it indicates that milk thistle doesn't really do much if any benefit at all for the liver. Then again I haven't read any research about milk thistle and the liver for nearly a decade now I'm sure there is now new info available we've learned since then.

 
@porkandbeansboy yeah im not sure milk thistle does anything either.  its one of those "ive taken it forever mine as well keep taking it" sort of things.  the only studies ive read about it are ones related to hep c, and all of them found it useless.  maybe i should read up on it more and possibly save some money lol....

 
Thanks for the info!!  Can't get too much help in this area.

 
Hello!  Thanks for posting, I would really appreciate any help regarding supplements that may help and preserve kidney function.  I have CRF stage 3 (creatinine 3.0-3.3 and GFR 46  not the greatest) so I'm reaching out for any help.  I have been told that kidneys and kidney function typically goes from bad to worse with little chance of improvement.  I currently take meds for BP (atenolol, losartan) and atorvastatin for chol.  Also use short and long acting insulin and gabapentin for feet neuropathy.  I'm trying to avoid using nsaids but need them to help with pain control from time to time.  I really would like to avoid dialysis. any suggestions are appreciated.

1) Low-protein, low-salt and low-fat diet to reduce stress on the kidneys from increased flow (hyperfusion), pressure (hypertension), and acidifying potential, respectively. The blood pressure drugs are supposed to help with this, but there's an easier way.

2) Alkalinize your blood, thus your urine. Nephrologist would typically give sodium bicarbonate for this, but there's an easier way.

3) Reduce cholesterol to stop any renal artery occlusion from plaque buildup that may be occuring. They might give you statins for this, but there's an easier way.

Okay, I lied just a little: it's easy in that there's one thing that does them all, but how easy it will be to implement will depend on your motivation and your willingness to do so.

That one thing: Whole Food Plant-Based (WFPB) diet, which is an alkalinizing, high-antioxidant, high-fiber, low-fat (esp. saturated fats and trans-fats), low-cholesterol diet.

(It's not low protein per se since beans and quinoa and nuts, for example, are high in protein, but plant protein behaves differently and gets a different response from the body than animal protein, and plant protein is usually accompanied by a heavy dose of fiber to move things along.)

This quite surprising finding may interest you: nutritionfacts.org/video/kempner-rice-diet-whipping-us-into-shape/ (transcript: nutritionfacts.org/2016/08/16/introducing-the-kempner-rice-diet/).

Btw, nutritionfacts.org is a great resource to get started on a WFPB diet, as is pcrm.org.

  1. D @ DonTeflon: Reliable, trusted vendors with ODSMT?? Recommendations would be appreciated, but the dm.
  2. uncharted @ uncharted: Thanks for the heads up @iamgroot I've been hearing a few customer's speaking of slowdowns but not on one particicular vendor. No wo way holiday slowdowns start mid-November in 2025 but like you said we'll have to wait and see.
  3. PHXINC @ PHXINC: lol we're on Linux/tails/tor and it's fine. Just told someone to check clearside it's fine, stop with the FUD man,
  4. xenxra @ xenxra: @nuthinbutpleasure you're looking at the .net domain man.... it's obviously not seized if you're posting on the shoutbox lmao
  5. cheezusjeezuz @ cheezusjeezuz: Makes sense
  6. iamgroot @ iamgroot: @xenxra yes no scanning or sometimes usps lost packs and sometimes pack just moving around the country instead of going to destination.
  7. xenxra @ xenxra: @iamgroot what kind of slowdowns are you seeing so far? multiple days for acceptance scans?
  8. iamgroot @ iamgroot: Shipping is slow and its gonna be slower as we move towards Christmas. Plan accordingly.
  9. Bizz @ Bizz: @xenxra i was hoping with your expertise you could fiill the details in thank you! I’m getting into crypto right now and learning and I’m starting to be able to save consistent amount of money was legitimate employment and I’m not sure where to put it other than bitcoin and XR in Ethereum Would you mind DM me a suggestion I can learn on my own, but I would like a suggestion from an expert
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Bizz fed board member waller said yesterday he doesn't see a good case for rolling out a cbdc
  11. Bizz @ Bizz: Losing faith….
  12. Bizz @ Bizz: @DerailedFisherman i believe it’s the us central bank digital currency connected to fed now.
  13. PHXINC @ PHXINC: Please do not even mention PHX on this shoutbox. We appreciate it loves. Unless we needa ran through. But that aint gonna happen. Im so happy with our current DBG base. Goodbye scammers. Go play chutes and ladders w your old vendors. ;) Man i got a feeling our thread is about to blow soon. Well even more so...lets just wait and see. And got some arrivals that will be fun i think. ;)
  14. xenxra @ xenxra: a huge chunk of the cost i pay with these firms is to offset the costs of their compliancy tools and they're also in a position to draft out a significantly more comprehensive report that i could use during the litigation process when i inevitably end up having to take this to court.
  15. xenxra @ xenxra: @knofflebon @uncharted i mean you have to consider the landscape these days compared to ten years ago. they send these coins through bridges, dexes, mixers, swappers - all sorts of crap. part of the reason i think i have a chance is bc these people apparently aren't experienced enough to know they could have just withdrawn all my funds straight to a DEX for XMR and they'd be ghosts but they're wallet hopping the BTC to ETH/USDT.
  16. DerailedFisherman @ DerailedFisherman: @Bizz what is USBC
  17. uncharted @ uncharted: @xenxra $200 an hour to "analize the blockchain" is outrageous. I don't know how they got you wether just basic phishing, spearphishing, javascript drive by, or as I said threres many ways. They got me one time years ago and since then it's been straight linux with expecerything compartmentalized in VM's. QUBES would be the best thogh in terms of security
  18. Bizz @ Bizz: Anyone thoughts on USBC being released in two days?
  19. K @ knofflebon: @xenxra damn, you would hope if they charge that much that they wouldn't charge you unless they're successful. That sucks man.
  20. Bizz @ Bizz: @xenxra just wrote something on PHX page that I think applies to your situation as well. I wish I could help, although Lyft has offered my cybersecurity school and in 14 weeks I’ll join the fight lol!
