Today I’m going to share some important information related to chronic kidney disease.

10% of cases of end-stage renal disease are related to polycystic kidney disease. Polycystic kidney disease has mainly been thought of as a genetic problem, and until fairly recently, many people thought you couldn’t do much about genetic diseases. But it turns out that you can.

Some of the top warning signs of polycystic kidney disease are increased risk of infection, urinary bleeding, reduced function of the kidneys, and high blood pressure.

A recent study done on mice found that the ketogenic diet halted and reversed polycystic kidney disease in the mice. They also found that time-restricted eating created a similar effect.

Another study found that the keto diet may reduce the risk of kidney stones as long as the person is also on a low-oxalate diet. Along with keto and consuming low-oxalate foods, consuming enough water may help reduce the risk of kidney stones.

In the study on polycystic kidney disease, they found that the cysts absorb glucose and are dependent on glucose. Glucose can contribute to other kidney issues as well.

A low-carb diet and fasting are both great ways to get your body to start making ketones. You can also take ketones.

The best natural remedies for kidney problems:
• Curcumin
• Resveratrol
• EGCG (in green tea)
• Quercetin
• Berberine

What I would do for chronic kidney disease:
1. Take the above natural remedies
2. Go on a low-oxalate keto diet
3. Do intermittent fasting

Good morning Dr Berg.
Since following your advice in the last few months. I am no longer taking drugs for Asthma. My Thyroxine has been reduced. My blood pressure is lower. I’ve lost weight, and after speaking to my Nephrologist a couple weeks ago for my review on Polycystic kidney and liver disease. He asked me “what are you doing “ I told him about cutting out sugar, intermittent fasting and also a daily yoga practice. My Dr was so impressed that he said that he too was going to look into these
Wow!!!! 😮
Thank you very much for your videos. 😊

As a renal dietitian, I have found that a lower oxalate ketogenic diet had given my patients results they have never seen before. We use a low carb diet + exogenous ketones and citrate (KetoCitra made by the researchers who discovered ketosis and PKD) and love the results we get. I think there is more to learn for sure but this is a great starting point for so many. When keto is done correctly it can be great for people with kidney disease!

Thanks for this video . Am a Ugandan 32 yrs and in 2021 I was diagnosed with bileteral polycystic kidneys disease with my blood pressure in the roof and a lot of UTIs. I have been taking BP medication until last year after watching a lot of your videos I divided I was going to try fasting, quit sugar and eat cleaner and workout. My kidneys stopped paining and I feel much better. I know in the long run this is going to benefit me a lot. I fast 36hrs once a week and do intermittent fasting other days of the week. I no longer feel my heart pounding in my chest like it used to esp at night while sleeping. The ringing in my head is slowly going away and I feel much know it's going to take time and am trying all I can to stay focused but sometimes I fall and regret everything you said in this video, you have said it before in other videos and that's how I came up with that plan.
Thanks for the good work.
Am so pleased

Thanks Dr. Berg - my mother had Polycystic kidneys and was on dialysis for 12 years. Back then and with my limited knowledge of diet, I knew all the sugar and junk food she ate probably wasn't helping her kidney function. Glad to know, for myself, that I have a good plan to keep my kidney function strong and healthy. THANK YOU!

[hazelwork]

I took over the care of my Mum, she was 89 i changed her diet as much as she would allow me. In 12 month i double her kidney function which the kidney specialist said he never sees happen in the elderly. I didn't know about Keto back then just took her off processed foods. I couldn't get her to stop eating her sweet cereal. Imagine how i could of helped with Keto.

Bless you Dr. Berg. I am Stage 3 and all I keep getting by medical professionals, nutritionists, and dietitians are a plant diets and w/low sodium, phosphorus, and potassium. And therefore I abandoned my Keto diet; which increased my diabetes and blood pressure. Their response was to increase my amount of meds and the dosage of the meds I was already on, smh. This video is such a blessing and brought me to tears. Bless you for all you do!!!

[QuietRiot-cidu]

Dr. Berg, you are a Godsend. Polycystic kidney disease is a hereditary disease in my family. I'm going to take your advice and put it to use immediately.

[shahramghazaly]

I have polycystic kidney disease my kidneys are large with multiple cysts and fasting really helped. Thanks for the information

[SoSo-fckf]

Thank you from my heart. I went to many doctors, including uterine thickening, and all of them were treated with replacement hormones and Kawkan, and the situation was getting worse and worse. No doctor advised me to lose weight or abstain from sugars, even though I suffer in addition. I suffer from polycystic ovaries and small fibrosis, and some doctors advised me to remove my uterus, even though I am 36, I started to improve because of you, and I started to lose weight, reduce sugars, and play sports. I hope you prepare more videos about the thickness of the uterus. I follow you by all means.

I’m in the end of stage of kidney disease. I have polycystic kidney disease since birth, and last 2021 diagnosed with kidney failure and I’m on a Peritoneal dialysis up to this time.

[AmberLee-evnr]

My mother-in-law has been on Keto for a year and her doctor told her that her kidneys look better than they ever had.

[jacobtorres]

Thanks for covering our research. I put a lot of effort into those papers and I am glad to see that the word is getting out that there that diet can be a tool for helping those with PKD.

[jennymurray]

I have been doing low carb/low sugar for a while and the results alone from those small changes were enough to keep me going in the right direction with cutting out even more and adding healthy fats and by also adding KetoCitra to help with days where I’m not as strict. I’m not fully plant based yet, but getting closer and closer. Diagnosed with PKD over 20 years ago.

[onthemoney]

Once again Dr. Berg...all you do every video upload is save lives. Thank you again!

[leeprice]

Thank You for this my mom had PKD and died from complications of dialysis, my sister and nephew now suffer with the same issues and I just the other day got told I have multiple cysts on both my kidneys, I jumped straight into the research and found many many good up to date information about this and will over come this metabolic disease

Thank you 🙏🏻
