@lynns51 Exactly! That's what I've been saying since 2009 when they first accused my kidneys of doing something bad! As for my creatinine, yes, it has been higher recently, as noted by my former doc who quit on me. It's because my diet is mostly meat, especially since finding that the foods the nutritionists are pushing caused my platelet count to rise! I've been left with nothing else to eat but meat! Never mind that there are people who eat an all-meat diet. What are their doctors telling them? Our paleolithic ancestors ate a diet of mostly game meat. It wasn't until the Neolithic that people started being farmers and eating grain and dairy, which caused diabetes! The people who need daily insulin shots today are direct descendants of Neolithic farmers!
