Hi There,

I’m specifically interested in what you did to improve your GFR. I’ve been a vegetarian/ vegan for over 30 years. My GFR currently is 59, up from 53-54 2 years ago. I started acupuncture and Chinese herbs prescribed by a practitioner who deals with kidney function. My potassium is under control and not elevated. Are you limiting sugar, alcohol? Has that made a difference with increasing your GFR? Would appreciate knowing how you improved. I have no other medical conditions, other than age (which I understand can contribute to lower kidney functioning). Thank you.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. If you are still active here, can you tell me which Chinese herbs you have used? A friend of mine has used them and her CKD Stage 3 is gone. I'm leary about using them. I'm sure none of my doctors would recommend them, but I would be open to trying them. Thank you!
