Welcome to Calwood Nutritionals,

There
is hope!
You CAN do something
about your kidney problem.
Your doctor may have told you that you have kidney disease
and you just have to wait until you go on dialysis and then
you can be transplanted. "It's the American way."
THEY ARE WRONG! YOU HAVE HOPE!
Dr. Walser shows you how to avoid dialysis by lowering your
creatinine and BUN while increasing your serum albumin level.

person about your diet and amino acid supplements.

It is possible to
improve your health and delay dialysis!
A low protein
diet and a supplement of a balanced formula of essential amino
acids at each meal has been shown to delay the time to dialysis(1,2)
and even reverse some kidney problems when treatment was started
early(3). These studies also showed that the diet was as effective
in people with diabetes as in those without
it, a key finding as diabetes increases the risk of kidney
failure significantly.(1)

An interview about kidney failure.
Harry Lee, a 74 year old diabetic
with hypertension who had been decreasing in GFR, recently
showed me a graph of his GFR since 1993. His endocrinologist
sent Harry to Dr. Mackenzie Walser at The Johns Hopkins University.
His GFR was on a steady decline and Mr. Lee wanted to do something
to avoid dialysis. Dr. Walser put Mr. Lee on a low protein
diet with an essential amino acid supplement and adjusted
his medications. Mr. Lee proudly pointed out that his GFR
has not declined since 1995.
Mr. Lee told me that he didn’t
watch his diet as well at first, but his bride of over 50
years told me that they are very careful now. He eats his
amino acid supplement on his canned pears or peaches for dessert
with his meals. He likes it in orange juice where he says,
"it mixes really well."
"Everyone ought to know about
this diet" said Mr. Lee, "It’s mainly a lot of salads, but
I like it very well."
"He’s very careful to take his
amino acids," said Mrs. Lee.
