Condition: Acute Kidney Disease
I was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of kidney disease. I was feeling very bad and sensed that my body needed to complement the medical treatment with a natural approach. Then, I decided to contact Alejandro for nutrition counseling, because I knew about his expertise in nutrition and functional medicine. During the consultation he taught me about the foods that could help me to improve; and advised me to drink more water, decrease protein intake, and eliminate sugars and cereals. Also, he recommended me to follow a gluten free diet, combined with coconut and almond milk, not to eat fried food, and in case I wanted to have it, to fry using coconut oil. Also, he highly recommended me to increase the consumption of vegetables (fresh, steamed, or in juice), and to consume only high quality butter. For one week at least, I should drink a smoothie made of cucumber, ginger, celery and one pineapple slide. If possible to fasting one day per week. In addition, he also advised me to have coffee enemas to get rid of toxins. Alejandro also asked me to supplement my diet with vitamin C, D, B12 and B6, probiotics, liquid multivitamins, turmeric, garlic, and fish oil. I followed all his advises and they helped me to decrease my creatinine levels from 5.25 to 1.01 and to improve my protein/creatinine ratios from 936 to 164. Besides, I have notice that when I relax from my diet, by eating desserts or not eating vegetables everyday, my blood pressure increases (a sign that my kidneys are not working well), and my labs get worse. I am convinced that to recover your health you need the combination of a good doctor and a good nutritionist, you are what you eat, that is true in my experience.
