About 48yrs ago as a young 22yr old, my left kidney was injured badly in a rugby 🏉 game, which put me in hospital for a few days. Luckily my kidney survived, but the Doctor advised that as I aged, my kidney would eventually fail! I've never Smoked, stopped drinking alcohol & coincidentally, I loved eating everything that Dr Frita has displayed on her kitchen table! Henceforth, as a new 70yr old, my kidneys are churning along happily! Thank you Dr for sharing your knowledge & videos. I've shared this video presentation with my family around the world, as I know how important your message is👌

Yes, I was one of those people who learned they had CKD just at the time when they wanted to put me on dialysis. My GFR was 17. I had diabetes uncontrolled, and high blood pressure, uncontrolled. They sent for training and asked me which type of dialysis I wanted to have. I said none. So I went on a quest to lower my blood sugar and blood pressure. I lost weight (40lbs). I got my A1c from 7.1 to 5.1 my GFR came up to 35. It still fluctuates a bit but have avoided dialysis for 2 years. I am so happy to discover you. I am hoping to get my blood pressure in tow which I have been unable to do. Thanks for your videos. Will keep you posted. I am developing a tremor. Hope the detox helps. Thanks.

I love how honest you are when letting people know it isn’t a quick fix. Too many times individuals are miss leading when it comes to people’s health. Thanks for your honesty. 😊

I love how you asked your son to help you make the smoothie. You are truly setting such a fine example for your son to eat healthy, and to know his way around the kitchen. Thank you, Dr. Frita.

I'm going through the process of being a kidney donor and I've been so stressed out and hoping that my kidneys are healthy enough to do so and praying that I'm a match for the girl in my town. 🙌

My dad had kidney disease, and he was stable for many years. One day when he went to the VA clinic for routine blood work, and his kidney markers were significantly worse than before. They told him to go straight to the ER. The ER couldn't pinpoint anything wrong except for his kidneys were failing much more than before. He got home, gave me a call and told me, and then I asked him what medications he was taking. He listed them for me and admitted he was taking IBUPROPHEN! One of his doctors told him to take it for his back pain, so he started taking it daily even though his nephrologist forbade it.

I scolded him and reminded him that he was not allowed to take ibuprofen. I told him that was why his kidneys were failing. He stopped taking the ibuprofen, went to the nephrologist to recheck his kidney markers, and he was back to his normal.

This is one of the best videos I have seen on detoxification of the kidneys.
She explains the best vegetables & fruits to filter your kidneys. Also, explains (7) ways to help your kidneys filter better. She is very detailed and deliberate in providing the information. Loved watching her little man help out, so respectful as he was departing the kitchen, “love you Mom”. I am in my 70’s and my kidney function is fine, but do like to share healthy strategies with family and friends.
And they lived happily ever after…
“DON’T YOU DARE GIVE UP”

The archaic meaning of the word “doctor” means teacher. Dr. Frita is a doctor in more ways than one. This is a very exceptional and excellent lesson in kidney nutrition. More nephrologists need to teach their patients about their home kidney healthcare.

[ironear]

Dr. Frita, I enjoyed seeing your well mannered son! Please share this with him - so he'll be proud of his good manners & behavior.

[roki]

Sweet moment with your son! Thanks for sharing. Thank you also for the honesty that we do not have to do these fads and expensive detoxes. Food is medicine!

[PriscillaBuckner]

We need more doctors like this.. We need more doctors like this..

[wallypaige]

Dr. Frita rocks. At least she explains the foods that are necessary for you and shows you a drink that you can have every day. My Doctor sucks. I fond him not helpful as I brought up foamy pee and he just shrugged it off. That is not health care to me. You have to find out about your decrease yourself and not rely on our Health care system. Dr. Frita has gone beyond the call of duty. She rocks

[femmec]

Omgoodness. Years ago, a small mass, (cancer), was found on one of my kidneys. I was told by the nephrologist, that it was advisable to have it removed. I was never told what I just heard you say that, "the kidney that the one kidney would then do the work of two." All of these years, I'm just imagining that my one kidney is having to work SO hard now!!! Thank you, THANK YOU, for this info, Dr.🥰😊
