Kidney Scientist Reveals What is Damaging Most People’s Kidneys

I was diagnosed stage 3 CKD early 2024 and told it would get worse. It is now November 2024 and I have no proteins in my urine. I spent two months tracking foods and how they tested in my urine and affected my body. I tested four (4) times a day. I can tell if I drink any sodas (diet or not) it affects my Kidneys and body, so I eliminated them. I can say that I will not eat out at most restaurants. Whatever they are doing to the food or whomever they are buying meats from and how those meats are processed and raised on certain diets, sometimes I felt like I was poisoned. I do not eat deep fried foods anymore and do not consume seed or nut oils. I have three go to oils as food additives and they are single source Organic. Olive, Avocado and Coconut, other than that I cook with Grass, Pasture Raised Cow or Goat Butter or Amish Butter or Ghee. I also drastically reduced my NSAID use, I now just tolerate pain and use it as a meter to tell if I am recovering fast. I now can eat a half pound ground chicken steak from the Georger Forman Grill, organic celery and zucchini and have no protein leakage in my urine and before it would be at or above Trace (sometimes 0.3 g/L). I just kept testing four times a day to discover what was stressing my Kidneys. I eliminated those food and drinks and stuck with specific foods and a lot of water or Swiss Water Decaffeinated Coffee mixed with Green Tea, Black Tea, Turmeric, Ginger, Clove, Cinnamon, Viet Nam Cinnamon, All Spice and Nutmeg. I used Coconut water for creamer and no sweetener nor artificial sweetener at all. I also started taking Vit D-3, Vit-C, Vit K-2, Chelated Magnesium, Vit E, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, Quercetin, Bromelain and Melatonin. I found my Coffee / Tea / spiced blend helps / allows me to pee with greater flow, so I do not drink Coffee every day, just every other day or when I notice my urine flow is reduced. I would sometimes add 98% or 100% Cacao to my Swiss Water Decaf Coffee / Tea mix so my Stem Cells production would increase. I done this on days before fasting as fasting long enough the body starts using a lot of Stem Cells to do repairs. I would also add Cocoa to Hot Spiced Apple Cider mixed with Cranberry Juice and Orange juice when I am on my Low-Calorie Diet. I switch between diets every 2 to 4 weeks. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ **EDIT** I edit because people are asking me how I test my Kidney Efficiency to track a possible path for recovery. ** URINE TESTING STRIPS** Read the reviews for the Urine Protein Test Strips. One had like 3-star reviews, I purchased it anyways because I wanted to see how it worked compared to another brand. DIAGNOX was not always as accurate as the other ONE STEP P. <- These are not as informative as Blood Testing Units that work similar to Diabetes Testing Units. (Finger Pricks 😥) but the Urine Tests tell what kind of Protein Leakage you have from what you eat. I do not know what other people are capable of learning. It also may be illegal for me to give specific advice. As I am not a Doctor, nor an Accredited Lab Technician, it would be unethical for me to specifically name any devices. It is also possible illegal for me to list specific devices. Within a month of our family meeting, talking about what we're buying for our home Clinic / Lab, a government agency passed some policy to make it illegal to sell them to the average person in the USA. Besides that, me just telling what to buy is not going to help if you do not study what Lab Techs and Doctors need to know, to know how to understand what you are looking at in the tests results. If you are willing to learn, then you are going to know. I TRIED TO ANSWER SOMEONE BELOW AND MY REPLY WAS DELETED. I tried to answer another person below and it was deleted. EDIT To add My first two days was just eating to make sure what my kidneys were leaking. It was at or above +30 0.3 g/L even once to ++100 1.0 g/L. Typical meals like meatloaf, mashed potatoes, stuffing, beef gravy, corn, steak fries, garlic toast, root beer or cola. Pizza, buffalo wings, soda, brownie & ice-cream. Hamburger, french-fries, soda, apple pie. Country Fried Steak, loaded baked potato, soda, chocolate cream pie. Captain Crunch or Fruit Loops with a banana in Whole Milk. Typical Meals. now I was for years, for decades eating deep fried chicken and hotdogs and french-fries maybe 10 to 15 times a month, so half my meals were garbage and none of my meals were organic. Then I started with a base of Organic Celery and Organix Zucchini (both raw) and my protein was Organic 1/4 cup oatmeal made with reverse-osmosis 8.8 pH water. Two days, with testing 3 to 4 times a day. Then every three days I chanced out the protein. I was eating the same meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Snack would be an organic peeled apple or organic orange, or organic cherries & organic pineapple chunks or organic blackberries and blueberries mixed. My water throughout the day was mixed Zephyrhills and Crysal Geyser in a 50/50 ratio. Why these waters? One is from Florida and is very alkaline and the other is from the Roxanne Springs with great mountain minerals. Florida used to be a coral reef, so the water is very alkaline. Every three days I would swap out the protein. Like Organic Pasture Raised Ground Beef, Pasture Raised Ground Lamb, Organic Pasture raised Ground Chicken, Wild Salmon, Wild Cod, mixed Lamb and Chicken or mixed Lamb and Beef for half pound steaks. Never oil fried or deep fried. It was always George Forman Grilled or Air Fried. Eating the same meal for three days and testing three times a day gives very accurate test results and also gives an average for the three days. No Doctor would want a patient coming in three times a day for blood tests and urine tests. I have a 149 IQ and it prodded me into doing these experiments to see if we could give our cells Clean DATA Packets so they could do Clean and efficient work to try to do repairs. Fasting triggers Detoxing and Repairs and Long-Term fasting Triggers something called Autophagy. The cells start reclaiming proteins from lose skin and from scars, then also rebuild old repairs that were crappy repairs from being given crap resources from crappy foods we eat. Ultimately, we are Knowledge and energy as is everything around us. It is all Programming and DATA storage. If we put in Clean Code and True DATA, then our cells can do best what they know best. We just have to know how to trigger certain special algorithms to run in our bodies and we do this by certain foods at certain times and then restrict intake while staying in the correct pH range and properly hydrated, then get the proper amount of restful sleep and get the proper exercise for our lymphatic system to do its job efficiently. <- This is a very simplistic explanation as there are a lot of other factors like eating specific herbs and berries before a certain type of fast, not gulping water unless you want to trigger a flush, taking seaweed supplements for iodine and taking certain vitamins and supplements at certain times of day while in a certain fasting cycle. Water must be of a certain mineral quantity for our bodies to use it to move resources into the muscles or into the bones and it takes certain vitamins to trigger these events. it is the same for Amino Acids that are used for specific purposes, way beyond miking specific proteins. It is also depending on if your mitochondria signaling to use glucose for energy of fats for energy and some things will still only use glucose for processes. It is like playing 6-dimensional chess on a 3-dimensional chess board. Our bodies are a 3-Domentinal organism with 6-Dimentional Knowledge levels at work. Have a look at a Complex Spiral Graph or Nail String Art and you get an idea of the intricacies of our bodies networks and building blocks. For example, Pineapple is delicious. Looks Intimidating Could call it a Corona Fruit It is also Anti-Inflammatory Bromelain in Pineapple It tells our body to make two new defense cells. One of those cells knows all 100,000 protein variants our cells make. If it finds a cell making proteins not for our body, it destroys that cell. Bromelain and Quercetin works like a Bonus Buff Now STACK Pineapple with Cherries Peaches Pear Grapes Blackberries Blueberries Bromelain Vit-C Melatonin Zinc Iron Copper Magnesium Calcium Manganese Folic Acid Phosphorus Sulphur Phytonutrients 1/2 cup to 1 cup will shut down almost any of the over 200 viruses' symptoms human experience. One cheeseburger, fries and soda with a side of mac n' cheese will undo everything in those fruits. False Knowledge will undo all the True Knowledge someone has, if they follow the False Knoledge. Feed your cells False Knowledge and you undo everything they know how to do with True Knowledge, they are expecting you to give them. Certain combinations of fruits and veggies and meats, pared with certain kinds of fasting can be a combination to unlock abilities the natural biomes inside of us are capable of. Your body and mind are a universe of Knowledge humans barely understand. Now perceive that all of the production of nature outside of the body is not just the CODE and DATA we are made from but that it holds Combinations of various Passwords to Exploits that elevates us to a different kind of being. IQ Boosts, Health Boosts, Oxygen Boosts, Stamina Boosts, Increased Restful Sleep, Rapid Recovery, Memory Recall Boosts and the list goes on. Like in Algebra Combine Like Terms Do Not Combine Unlike Terms Combine like Foods Do Not Combine Unlike Foods It is about True Knowledge and Wisdom (WISDOM is our modern word SKILLS). The Cells that rebuild us from our dead Sperm Body are Super Cells. For some reason, humans do not realize we are in an Afterlife. We all were Human Sperm and yet here we are as Human Beings.

Kidney Scientist Reveals What Damages Most People's Kidneys 00:00 Introduction to Metabolic Health • Dr. Jacob Torres discusses the importance of metabolic health and its effects on various organs. • Metabolism involves the breakdown of energy and the production of macromolecules such as proteins and carbohydrates. • Each cell participates in metabolism, and this is important for all organ systems. 01:27 Interaction of systems in metabolism • Metabolism involves many interactions between different systems. • People often think of metabolism as creating energy, but it's more complicated. • Metabolism regulates homeostasis by balancing signals between cells. 03:02 The effect of various molecules on metabolism Glucose and fats play a key role in metabolism, providing energy. • Not eating also affects homeostasis, causing changes in metabolism. • All macromolecules, such as fats, carbohydrates and proteins, play a role in regulating metabolism. 04:14 The role of kidneys in metabolism • The kidneys play an important role in the overall metabolism by consuming a lot of fat. • The kidneys function as an atpase channel, which requires a lot of energy. The kidneys regulate fat metabolism by absorbing fatty acids and releasing them back into the bloodstream. 06:17 The effect of ketogenic diet and fasting on the kidneys • Ketogenic diet and fasting affect the adaptation of the kidneys to fats and ketones. • Fat droplets in the kidneys depend on the amount of fat in the blood. • In pathological conditions, lipid droplets can accumulate and cause toxic side effects. 08:30 Keto-citra and its effect on the kidneys Keto-citra is the first over-the-counter formula for the treatment of polycystic kidney disease. • Research has shown that ketones can affect the progression of chronic kidney disease. Beta-hydroxybutyrate in keto-citrate can provide the kidneys with an alternative source of fuel and reduce the load on them. 09:26 Benefits of Keto Zither Keto-citra helps bind harmful food components, reducing the load on the kidneys. • It prevents the formation of microcrystals, which can lead to kidney stones. Keto-citra provides an additional source of energy for the kidneys and helps bind harmful substances. 10:19 The role of kidneys in fat metabolism • The kidneys can regulate the level of fats in the body. • Studies show that the kidneys can use fats for energy. • Under the wrong conditions, fats can accumulate and cause inflammation. 12:40 The effect of a low-carb diet on the kidneys • A low-carb diet can cause muscle cramps and kidney problems. A ketogenic diet helps regulate sodium and potassium levels, which can reduce the risk of seizures. Glucose plays an important role in regulating the balance of sodium and potassium. 15:51 The effect of ketones on the kidneys Ketones can affect the kidneys both positively and negatively. • Under normal conditions, ketones help the kidneys, as they are an energy-intensive organ. • The kidneys use fatty acids for energy, which can reduce the load on them. 18:18 The role of ketones in the kidneys Ketones play an important role in the kidneys by increasing the glomerular filtration rate of GFR. • Different parts of the nephron may react differently to ketones. Ketones perform many functions, including energy, but their role in the kidneys goes beyond simple energy production. 19:08 Ketone production in the kidneys • The kidneys are the second organ after the liver to produce ketones. Ketones produced in the kidneys do not enter the bloodstream, but are absorbed back into the blood through a special conveyor. • Studies show that the kidneys make a significant contribution to ketone production. 20:06 Adaptation to the ketogenic diet • With a ketogenic diet, the kidneys can adapt and produce more ketones. • Studies show that adaptation to a ketogenic diet can persist even in the absence of dietary ketosis. • Adaptation to ketosis can improve kidney and mitochondrial function. 21:28 The effect of ketones on the kidneys Ketones can improve kidney health, similar to physical exercise. • Studies show an increase in the number of mitochondria in the kidneys during ketosis. Ketones can have a positive effect on the kidneys even without a ketogenic diet. 24:42 Polycystic kidney disease and ketones Polycystic kidney disease PKD is a genetic form of chronic kidney disease. PKD is characterized by the formation of cysts in the kidneys, which leads to loss of nephrons and deterioration of kidney function. Ketones can have a positive effect on PKD by slowing the progression of the disease. 28:02 Formation of cysts in the kidneys • Cysts in the kidneys occur due to the proliferation of nephron cells. • In polycystic kidney disease, cysts form quickly due to genetic mutations. • Studies show that trauma can be the cause of cysts. 29:06 The effect of BHB on the kidneys Polycystic kidney disease is caused by multiple mutations and mitochondrial dysfunction. • Inflammation and injury lead to the transition of cells to glycolysis. • BHB may have an anti-inflammatory effect by affecting macrophages. 30:34 The effect of BHB on immune cells • BHB affects the switching of macrophages between observation and active recovery modes. • It helps to stop the progression of the disease and improve energy production through the mitochondria. • BHB also affects fatty acid metabolism and transcription factors. 31:34 Anti-inflammatory effect of BHB • BHB inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome, preventing an inflammatory response. • Macrophages have the GPR109a receptor, which is important for the effect of switching cell types. • BHB suppresses the NLRP3 cascade, preventing the progression of injury. 33:18 The effect of the keto diet on the kidneys • A keto diet can quickly improve kidney health. • Changes in metabolism and physical condition occur quickly. • Studies show that the keto diet improves kidney health. 36:06 Santa Barbara Nutrients Research • Santa Barbara Nutrients has conducted research to prevent the progression of polycystic kidney disease. • Ketocitrate, created by the company, contains beta-hydroxybutyrate and citrate. • The product does not contain sodium, but includes calcium, magnesium and potassium to improve kidney function. 38:32 Magnesium and Calcium • Magnesium and calcium prevent the formation of kidney stones. • They bind to compounds that cause the formation of crystals. Citrate also prevents the formation of crystals by binding to calcium in the urine. 39:27 Benefits for the kidneys • Potassium and alkali are good for the kidneys. • An increase in alkali in urine improves energy production in cells. • Citrate prevents the formation of microcrystals, preventing kidney damage. 42:55 Oxalates and their effects Oxalates are harmful to the kidneys and can cause the formation of crystals. Oxalates are found in raw vegetables and can be a problem for the body. Citrate helps to cope with oxalates, preventing their accumulation. 46:29 Cooking and oxalates • Cooking does not destroy oxalates. Citrate binds calcium, preventing the formation of crystals. • Free oxalates can enter the bloodstream and cause problems. 47:38 Plants and oxalates • Plants use oxalates to protect and accumulate calcium. • Soluble oxalates easily enter the bloodstream. • Oxalate research is difficult due to the variety of substances and their forms. 48:38 Resources on oxalates • All resources on products containing oxalates have been collected. • Links to these resources are placed in one place. • The problem is that food companies focus on oxalates, and independent research is rare. • It is difficult for non-professionals to decipher information about the content of oxalates in products. 49:12 Elements that help to cope with oxalates • The question of the presence of elements in keto-citrate that can help to cope with oxalates. • The exclusion of calcium and magnesium from the diet is due to their ability to bind oxalates in the intestine. • The hope is that oxalates will not be absorbed. 49:34 Conclusion • Thanks to Dr. Torres for participating in the discussion. • End of the conversation.

The video discusses various aspects of metabolic health, with a particular focus on organs beyond the liver that play crucial roles in maintaining metabolic balance. Key points include: 1. Metabolic Health: Metabolism is defined as the breakdown and production of energy, where each organ and tissue participates in the metabolic process. While the liver is well-known for regulating fats and glucose, other organs, like the kidneys, also play significant roles. 2. Kidneys in Metabolic Health: The kidneys are energy-intensive organs, utilizing fats and requiring a high level of mitochondrial function for sodium and potassium regulation. The kidneys help buffer fat levels in the blood and are involved in maintaining homeostasis by adjusting to metabolic signals. In a fat-adapted or fasted state, kidneys help manage energy needs by regulating fats. 3. Fat Adaptation and the Kidneys: Fat-adapted individuals, such as those on ketogenic diets, might have enhanced kidney function related to fat regulation, though scientific research is still emerging in this area. 4. Kidney Health Challenges: An unhealthy kidney can struggle to handle fats, which leads to fat accumulation and potential damage to kidney function. This highlights the importance of maintaining kidney health. 5. Ketones and Kidney Health: Ketones provide an alternative energy source for kidneys, especially in fat-adapted individuals. BHB (beta-hydroxybutyrate) can also reduce inflammation, help with energy production, and may have protective effects against chronic kidney diseases, such as polycystic kidney disease (PKD). 6. PKD and Ketones: For those with PKD, BHB and citrate supplements may help manage kidney health by reducing inflammation, supporting energy needs, and preventing cyst formation. Products like KetoCitra, which contains BHB and citrate, are designed to provide these benefits. 7. Oxalates and Kidney Health: Oxalates, found in foods like spinach, can contribute to kidney damage by forming crystals. Citrate in products like KetoCitra can bind to oxalates, potentially helping reduce the risk of kidney stone formation and related injuries. The conversation underscores the complex roles that various organs play in metabolism and explores how diet, particularly through ketone supplementation, may support kidney health and overall metabolic balance.

We were told in the uk to eat 5-9 veg a day which i did for a number of years , Recently told i had a cyst on my kidney . GP did not suggest a change in diet but just said oh you have an injurie!!!! They have no clue and are killing us. Thank you so much for this impotent information.

I started getting STABBING PAINS in my lower groin , became aware of oxalates and now avoid foods that are high in them. I was eating spinach almost every day, for example, and now have broccoli instead.

I started taking care of my health after 2 kidney infections, peeing blood due to overconsumption of sugar crap. Ketogenic diet fixed me. This video is the most comprehensive and enlightening lecture I have come across. My father went all the way to kidney failure due to overconsumption of sugar, fat and salt. Now thanks to this video, everything is confirmed. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with the masses.

My dad died from Kidney failure while battling Cancer. He was a few months from turning 80. 😢 4 weeks ago

I went from a 6.1 A1C to 5.3 in one month. Was told I was going to have a heart attack. Lost 26 pounds in 3 months and absolutely lowered all my numbers down. No more pre diabetic

Thomas, I got muscle cramps when I went on a ketogenic diet. Overall my naturopath explained that I needed to add minerals when eating keto diet. But specifically for cramps, she said magnesium and potassium could resolve, one or both. And it worked!
