TRANSCRIPT
Just 2 years ago, I was between stage 4 and stage 5 of chronic kidney disease. Now I'm stage 3.
I'm not risking dialysis, not anymore. I've reversed my kidney disease, and I'm lowering my creatinine.
How? I've just made some simple changes in my renal diet.
Now my kidneys are recovering, my creatinine is going down.
And eating this very particular superfood was one of the things that helped me the most doing this.
Today, I will be sharing with you the way I've reversed my kidney disease.
I'll show you the things I've done to reverse my kidney disease.
Because I'm confident that these things will help you too.
Yes, I was in stage 4 of CKD, I was almost on dialysis. Now, today I'm in stage 3, and my creatinine is decreasing.
Here's how I've done it.
Hello, my name is Tony, Tony Benneth and this is 00kindey.
You may be wondering what am I doing here, on Katherine's channel.
I'll tell you more about this and more about my story in a moment, for now, let me just ask you a question.
Do you know that there's a very common vegetable, a vegetable considered healthy, and that you probably eat regularly, that causes kidney damage and loss of kidney function?
This vegetable is actually sending your kidneys into the toxic over load.
I'll show you what this vegetable is doing in a moment.
Because there's also a very common grocery store item which instantly lowers your creatinine levels.
In this video, I'll show you that just by stopping to eat the dangerous vegetable and and starting to eat the healthy grocery store item you can actually start to lower your creatinine level.
I only discovered these things when I've started caring for my own health.
For years I didn't care enough about my health.
I work in a hospital I see sick people every day.
I'm not a doctor.
Actually, I always did my best to avoid doctors. Don't do that, by the way.
Until one day, 5 years ago, I started feeling tired. More than usual.
It's just too much work, I said to myself.
I know that kidney disease runs in my family, but I'm not gonna get it!
And I'm still going to the bathroom just fine by the way.
This is what I was telling myself.
I was too scared to do blood tests, so I left the time pass. Things weren't going any better, I even started to have a metallic taste in my mouth.
Then, I finally had to do some tests and...
Well, I'll never forget the look on the nurse's face when she was taking my blood pressure.
I knew her very well, she's working in my same hospital.
And she was so shocked and confused! My blood pressure was a not just high, it was 190/120!
...
Now, that's incredible because the right numbers should be 120 on 70, so you can understand how strange this was for a person my age! I was not even in my forties. We took the test with two different pressure monitors because we thought that the first one was broken.
But it wasn't.
Obviously I got tested for creatinine level too, as chronic kidney disease runs in my family.
This was the first time I had a blood test since I think... 2010? My GFR and creatinine were perfectly fine in those years.
Well, you can imagine my shock when I was told I had stage 4 chronic kidney disease.
The nurse ... she was talking to me like I would have... no life in the near future.
I really thought she was joking at first, or that she was just trying to scare me into an healthier lifestyle.
Then she shows me the numbers.
My Creatinine was 5.3 and ... I only 19% remaining kidney function.
It took several weeks for me to... you know, overcome the stage of denial.
For the first time in my life I was scared of the future. I have a family, kids to care for.
How was I going to take care of them when I wasn't going to be able to work anymore?
Ok, let's get to the point now: you are all here to know what helped me reversing my kidney disease.
You want to know how I've done it.
I know very well why our doctors think reversing kidney disease is impossible, but I'm here to tell you that this is just not true.
I'm living proof that this is not true.
I had a lot of time to spare in the period when I was preparing for dialysis.
So I decided to start doing some researches online.
To try and figure out tings for myself.
This is maybe the best thing I've ever done in my life.
I decided that I wanted to fight the disease. That I wanted to be stronger.
I started to actually talk to doctors.
Yeah, you wouldn't believe.
A nephrologist, one of the kidney specialist I was going to, once told me that dialysis is just the Western way of doing it, and not always the right way.
This made me think. I started to explore holistic medicine remedies. I started to read about Ayurveda and the traditional Chinese medicine.
I discovered this Youtube channel. 00kidney. Have you watched Micheal Wright's videos, by the way?
I watched them. I learned a lot from those videos.
I tell you what, some of the herbs I've discovered helped me alleviating a lot of my problems.
Swelling, fatigue, inability to sleep... all of these can be cured.
And obviously there's more.
If you give your kidneys a way to regenerate themselves, they will do just that.
Because they're genetically programmed to regenerate themselves.
So, give the kidneys all the nutrients they need, remove all the toxins and... your body will do the rest.
You know, the kidney is the only organ in the whole human body that can actually regenerate itself completely.
This is what they discovered in a recent study about stem cells.
The kidney can actually regrow its cells faster than any other organ in the body.
It's clear why, if we think about it.
The kidney is constantly fighting a battle against organ damaging toxins.
It needs this great ability to recover because it's constantly in contact with all the harmful toxins we put in our body.
But, this means that, as soon as we remove the cause of the problem, it can start to regrow its cells.
I'm not just telling you this, there are studies.
When I started doing researches. I found out that my "HEALTHY" diet was putting great strain on my kidneys.
I ate a lot of foods that I didn't even know were dangerous.
You see, when I started trying to improve my kidney health by myself, I just added as many veggies I could to my diet.
Things started to go from bad to worse.
I had to find out by myself, that some of these "healthy" veggies and fruits I was eating were actually doing more harm than good.
Corn
Winter Squash
Olives
Lentils
All these foods, that may seem healthy, are actually acidifying and can increase your creatinine level.
As soon as I removed them from my renal diet I started to feel better.
This is how you can tell that you did something good for your kidney health.
You just start to feel better.
Then I've started to eat this, raw, organic celery.
I'm also juicing it every day. I drink the juice first thing in the morning.
Yes, it helps lowering creatinine.
And its effects on the body are quite astounding.
Raw organic celery juice is proven to calm chronic inflammations.
Inflammation is the root cause of any disease ending in ITIS.
You know, for example arthritis... inflammation of the joints... hepatitis... inflammation of the liver... nephritis inflammation of the kidneys.
So, foods and herbs that can lower inflammation can actually help with kidney disease.
There's a polyacetylene in celery, a compound which is a natural anti-inflammatory.
Celery is also loaded with all the essential vitamins and minerals our body needs to recover.
There's folate, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6 and leutolin.
Leuteolin is what actually helped me with my skin problems.
Celery is just... unbelievably healthy for our kidneys.
But what is really helping me in lowering my creatinine levels day by day is its alkalizing property.
I want to spend a few more words on why the acid alkaline balance of the body is so important for our kidney health and creatinine levels.
First of all there are scientific studies proving that an alkaline diet lengthens our lifespan.
Yes, you live more if you eat more alkalizing foods, like celery, and less acidifying foods.
This is because alkalizing foods can prevent and cure chronic diseases.
Especially kidney disease: the kidney is the organ that's actually supposed to keep the acid alkaline balance of the body.
This is a lot of work, if you ask me, for an organ that's already impaired.
So, let's say that you eat a lot of red meat, a lot of cheese, and a lot of hydrogenated fats. And maybe you drink some coffee.
How do they call this... yes, they call it... the standard western diet.
I did just this for the first 40 years of my life. Not even my doctor... ever told me it was actually damaging my kidneys.
I mean, a steak with a side of lentils and a cup of coffee how bad can it be?
But it is.
Now, all these foods are acidifying and even just the fact that you're eating a lot of them, the quantity, makes the body even more acidic.
That's why I'm drinking celery juice. Celery is the most alkalizing food you can find.
Now, there's another thing I want share with you. Here, I have it on my phone.
It's because I want to have it always with me.
This is not just a simple book, it's not even just a program.
It's something that can completely change your life, like it has changed mine.
This is from the doctor that helped me reversing my kidney disease. He created it.
I got to talk to him, during my journey to reverse kidney disease.
He told me this: Tony, you will have to fight every day to conquer kidney disease, but I've seen people doing it.
Yes, this is where I found most of the advice that gave me the chance to make my kidneys heal.
Now, if you are here, if you watched this video till this point, you definitely already care about your health.
But maybe you can still use some help. So I'm leaving here the link to find exactly this, the same program that helped me.
You just have to click on the picture.
See you next time, thank you for watching.

How to Get Rid of Kidney Pain Fast and Naturally - the Holistic Kidney P...
Watch on Youtube - subscribe to 00kidney
Hello everyone, this is Katherine, welcome to 00kidney.
Today I'll show you how to get rid of kidney pain fast and naturally.
I'll take an holistic approach to kidney pain relief.
Because the truth on kidney pain is that, whatever the source of this back pain is, you can alleviate or totally get rid of it only if you know one thing: what is causing kidney pain.
Treating the symptoms of kidney pain alone, maybe taking some painkillers, is only going to make things worse, on the long run.
But, knowing kidney pain location and kidney pain symptoms we can absolutely treat it and, in most of the cases, we can get rid of it.
How? We need to understand why our back is hurting. We need to understand if there's a KIDNEY STONE causing back pain or if we have a KIDNEY INFECTION, or if we have kidney disease, a kidney failure or if it's just lower back pain caused by an injury, a muscle strain.
Each of these conditions is associated with different symptoms and requires a totally different approach.
Some of these are totally curable with home remedies, so keep watching this video if you want to avoid an expensive trip to the doctor.
And send it to your friends if anyone of them suffers from kidney pain or back pain, this video can help them.
Ok, let's start
Kidney stones are the most common cause of kidney pain.
How can we tell if the kidney pain symptoms we are experiencing are actually caused by kidney stones?
First, there's the location of kidney pain.
In case of kidney stones, "the pain is actually located in the area of the kidneys", up here and not down here
Usually, if the pain is in this area the cause of back pain is an injury.
A back injury would require a totally different treatment from kidney stones.
Also, "usually one side only" because kidney stones pain is in most of the cases just one side of the body.
"Kidney stones are usually recurring"
Now, kidney stones are recurring, so if you already had them and you are having kidney pain again, there's a good chance that the cause of kidney pain is kidney stones AGAIN.
But they can be prevented, and there are home remedies to pass kidney stones fast and without pain. So don't worry.
Now, the most important thing to know are the symptoms.
"Symptoms of kidney stones include:
- sudden, severe flank pain." The pain can fluctuate in intensity or come in waves, and can even radiate to the groin. This is because the stones are starting to move around the urinary tract, causing damage and this very intense pain.
Kidney stones can also cause other symptoms, like
" -Being able to urinate in small amounts only,
-Pain during urination
-Persistent need to urinate
-Nausea
-Vomiting
-Blood in the urine"
Now, see a doctor if you have blood in the urine or urinating becomes really difficult.
In this case, it means that the stones have blocked the urinary tract or are causing some serious damage.
You can only use home remedies if the situation is not this serious.
So, if the stones are small enough to pass by themselves, drinking lots of water will help.
A combination of Olive Oil, Lemon Juice and Raw Apple Cider Vinegar is one the best home remedies for kidney stones.
There's another thing that works exceptionally well, it's called chanca piedra.
It's an herbal remedy that can actually break down calcium oxalate kidney stones and make them pass easily and fast.
But, before you try it, we need to eliminate the other causes of kidney pain.
I really don't want you to rush buying home remedies for kidney stones just to understand afterwards that your KIDNEY PAIN was actually caused by a back strain.
Yes, these home remedies and herbal treatments work exceptionally well to prevent and pass kidney stones.
We'll get back to them in the end of the video, when you'll be 100% sure that the problem is actually caused by kidney stones.
So let's see another very common cause of lower back pain: a back injury
"If the pain is caused by a muscular or skeletal problem", obviously we will need a totally different approach from what we would do with kidney pain. Now, this kind of back pain is very, very common, so I'll need to spend a few words on it.
HOW DO WE TELL IF IT'S KIDNEY PAIN OR A BACK INJURY?
Muscular or skeletal back pain is usually in a slightly "different location from kidney pain".
"The kidneys are located towards your back, in the lower part of the ribcage" ,and this makes difficult to tell apart kidney pain from muscular pain.
Kidney pain is usually in a higher position and it's deeper, it's not near the skin, because the kidneys are inside the rib cage.
Now, the muscles are outside the rib cage, so the pain is located in a less deep area, closer to the skin.
So, if you feel the pain coming from inside the ribcage, it may be from the kidneys.
If it's coming from outside the ribcage, it's from the muscles.
"Unlike kidney pain, muscular pain may get worse... or get better... with movement"
"Massages and pain relief creams can alleviate it".
Obviously moving around and getting massages won't do anything for kidney pain.
So, basically, if you move around and the pain lowers or increases, then it's probably a muscular or skeletal problem.
If moving doesn't change things, it's probably the kidneys.
Also, muscular and skeletal pain do not present any symptoms related to kidney problems, so no other kidney symptoms.
"Common causes of back injury and lower back pain include muscle strains, herniated discs, sciatica, arthritis"
All these conditions are to be treated differently according to their severity.
Ok, there's another common cause of kidney pain, kidney infection.
UTIs, urinary tract infection are very, very common... urethritis, cystitis are all UTIs... and usually are treatable.
"Kidney infections, also called pyelonephritis, are a type of UTI".
How can we tell if kidney pain is coming from a kidney infection?
If, in conjunction with kidney pain and not lower back pain you are experiencing one of the following symptoms, probably there's a kidney infection.
"Symptoms include
-frequent urge to urinate
-burning sensation when urinating
-fever
-blood in the urine "
Now, a kidney infection is a pretty serious issue, especially in presence of high fever and blood in the urine.
So in this case talk to your doctor. He will be prescribing you an antibiotic.
"prescription antibiotics can cure UTIs"
Follow the full course of the antibiotic in case of a prescription.
"Don't let an UTI go untreated", kidney damage is not a remote eventuality in case of an UTI not effectively treated.
UTIs usually start in the bladder, but can reach all the urinary tract: the urethra, the prostate in men, the kidneys.
Now, chronic kidney disease can cause kidney pain too.
What we must understand is that, while kidney pain is a symptom of kidney disease, only patients in the advanced stages will experience it.
"So, only in the advanced stages.
Other causes of kidney pain are more common"
So if you only have kidney pain, the causes that I have mentioned earlier, kidney stones, kidney infections and back injuries are more probably causing the symptom.
In fact, for kidney disease to be able to cause kidney pain, the kidney must be swelling. This is a very severe, and not so common symptom, that only shows up in stage 4 and 5 of CKD, usually.
So if your back hurts, don't immediately think about kidney disease, unless you have "other symptoms of kidney disease, like Foam in the urine, Swelling in the hands and feet and urinating more or less than normal."
Now, if it's actually kidney disease that's causing the pain, it means that there's a severe fluid retention in the kidney itself. This could be caused by an excess of potassium, sodium and fluids in the diet.
By the way, there are cases in which a trip to the ER is absolutely needed. So contact your health care provider immediately if you're experiencing back pain or kidney pain in conjunction with the following symptoms: Severe stomach pain, Loss of bladder or bowel control, High fever, blood in the urine, fatigue or a constant, dull, one-sided pain in your back or side.
Don't try to make the pain pass with home remedies or just painkillers in these cases!
As I've told you in the beginning of the video, there are home remedies working to pass kidney stones fast and without pain. More info about them here
And, if you have kidney disease, I've made a very complete video about how to manage it.

Hello, welcome back to 00kidney.

It’s a great low carb meal idea for your renal diet.
Why cauliflower rice?
Cauliflower is an exceptionally healthy vegetable, AND its nutrition profile is quite AMAZING!
We are going to replace white rice with it, and the taste is quite
something! It’s a bit like rice, a bit like cous cous.. but spicy and
crunchy. I like it a lot!
Now, cauliflower has many health benefits, it contains some of almost every vitamin and mineral that your body needs.
We’re going to use it as our main ingredient to prepare this cauliflower rice, a yummy and easy keto meal idea.
Yes, this recipe idea is also suitable for a keto diet.
What is keto diet? It’s a low-carb, high-fat diet that provides numerous health benefits.
There are a lot of reasons why a kidney patients should try the keto
diet, especially if suffering from diabetic kidney disease.
However, this recipe is very healthy, try it even if you’re not on keto.
All the ingredients are low in sodium and potassium, so this is a perfect recipe for your renal meal plan.
We gonna use non GMO fresh veggies as our main ingredients, very healthy!
It’s also very cheap and tasty… but, most important, this recipe will help you to get your kidney diet back on track!
So, let’s see how to make this very easy cauliflower rice..
Today’s kidney disease diet recipe is really really easy and fast to make so… LET’S START!
Here’s what we’re going to use, the ingredients are for 4 servings.
- Cauliflower as an healthier alternative to white rice,
I’m using about 250 grams of cauliflower… or a bit less than one cup
- Half Eggplant
- Half cup green beans
- 1 spring onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 Fresh chives
- 1 cup chicken breast
- 1 Zucchini
- 1 Carrot
- 1 tbs of Extra virgin olive oil
- Pepper and black pepper
- Lemon (as a condiment)
And some water
I
always recommend to buy fresh and organic vegetables. I’m not using
canned food or packaged foods, because they are full of sodium and
potassium and preservatives which you don’t want in your renal diet.
Ok, let’s see how to prepare this cauliflower rice.
You can use a food processor or a cheese grater
We want to make this recipe fast, so the easiest way is to use a food processor.
Now we are gonna prep our cauliflower.
Break the cauliflower into small pieces, like this…
And put the small pieces of cauliflower inside the food processor.
Turn on the food processor and mix.
Again, if you don’t have one of these, just use a grate. A bit slower but you can still make the cauliflower rice.
Done. Put the cauliflower rice in a skillet with some water and cook for about 5 minutes.
Now that our cauliflower rice is cooking, we’re gonna slice all the vegetables and the chicken breast.
dice the zucchini into cubes. Zucchini contain a bit of potassium but
they’re still very healthy, they’re known to support heart and
circulatory health, to lower sugar levels and to improve digestion.
We
want to dice the eggplant too. Another healthy vegetable, very rich in
antioxidants that will fight the inflammations in the body.
Today all the ingredients are going to be really healthy.
Dice the Carrot
Cut the Spring onion
Cut
the green beans like this. Green beans are great for a kidney disease
diet because they’re between the very few beans that are really low in
potassium. They are a good source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, folate,
vitamin K. So they are always a nice addition in our kidney diet.
Dice
the chicken breast. Chicken breast is an excellent source of low-fat,
high quality protein, the cornerstone of an healthy kidney disease diet.
In you renal diet, you have to avoid eating too much protein, because it’s heavy on the kidneys.
But you still need some. High quality protein helps protecting your kidneys.
Watch my videos about the kidney friendly diet to understand the right combination of protein foods for your renal diet.
Ok, put the diced chicken breast aside and
Cut the chives like this.
We gonna cut the cloves of garlic into small pieces.
done.
In a pan on medium heat, put some extra virgin olive oil.
Put inside the pieces of garlic and let it brown a little.
Then put the pieces of onion.
Now we’re gonna put our chicken breast and let it brown a little.
Then we’re gonna add the pieces of carrot.
Now add the zucchini, the green beans and the eggplant.
Squeeze half a lemon.
Add the pepper, the chives, and the black pepper. As you can see, we’re
using a lot of spices for seasoning so we don’t put salt in this
recipe.
This is a great way to control blood pressure. In kidney
disease patients, the kidneys cannot remove excess sodium and potassium,
and this can increase blood pressure.
The best way to avoid this
problem, is to stop putting salt in what we eat. So we use pepper, black
pepper chives and lemon to flavor the meal instead.
Stir a little bit and add some water to soften the vegetables, then let it dry.
Stir and Cover the pan.
When the water is completely absorbed stir a little bit more.
Ready! Hope you enjoy it! Thank you for watching, see you next Friday!
