    April 5th 2015 I was 42 and donated a kidney to a friend of mine that was 62. He had been on dialysis for a few years and he had been told he had 6mo to live. Fast-forward 8yrs later to 2023 and we're both great. It was a life changing experience for me as much as it was for him. I wouldn't change anything.

He found out that he had actually had it for several years but because he thought he was healthy he didn't go to the doctor and wasn't really eating the right things. Soon after he found out that it had caused him to have kidney disease. He was in stage 3 now he has a egfr of 30. I told him if he needs a kidney I will donate one of mine.

    A few years back my Dr. called me in after an abnormal blood test. She said my eGFR results indicated stage 3 chronic kidney disease. I felt this was strange because there was never any problems with my eGFR in the past. I had recently started taking fenofibrate and thought perhaps that was causing the abnormal eGFR results. After discontinuing fenofibrate, my eGFR readings returned to normal and my kidneys are working just fine. Perhaps there are other people out there who are being told they have stage 3 chronic kidney disease which is actually being caused by medications they're taking.

      Even worse, very common meds: regular NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, ketorolac, Aleve, Advil, Motrin etc) directly cause kidney impairment. Take them together with a diuretic (Lasix, HCTZ) and even worse, add one other common medication prescribed to "protect the kidneys" (a "-pril" or a "-sartan") and this combination has a high risk to destroy your kidneys.

    G'day Sten. Here's my little tale. 14 weeks ago, following a routine blood test, my doc told me I had tipped over into Type 2 diabetes. That was the reality check I needed to do something about my long-standing weight gain. 14 weeks later I have gone from 100Kg down to 81.5Kg and am feeling fantastic. That is an average of 1.3 kg loss per week. Your guidance has been paramount to my change. Aiming for 70 kg, which I gather is in the ballpark for a male at 5' 6". I'm sure I will achieve that target.

    Dear Dr Ekberg,
    First of all I would like to wish you a very happy and safe new year!
    Secondly I would like to thank you for your extensive research and hard work in which you have been passing it on to us! Much appreciated
    I am a diabetic type 2 since a very long time! I never took any tablet or insulin for my diabetes management. I believe there is something not quite right with my diabetes!! I was hoping you might be able to help me or shed some light on it!
    I have always been very active person; I never eat lots of sweet or sugar especially the last two years or so! I do not smoke or drink alcohol. In the morning I usually eat two eggs in the morning with a toasted slice of protein bread or some time I just take a coffee. I have one main meal a day and that is usually around 16:00-17:00 and never later. My diet always includes big bowel of salad with Greek cheese and lots of olive oil. My diet usually contained at least 4-5 portions of the super vegetable you mentioned in your lectures.
    When I wake up in the morning my blood sugar level is always between 8 to 9! When I am hungry my blood sugar level never goes down only when I eat! During Ramadan I usually fast 20 hrs on average per day, you would expect my sugar level to go down but it is usually around 9 or 10!!!
    The moment I eat something even if it was a piece of fruit like dates or figs my sugar level goes down!? Also to give you an idea yesterday when I woke up my BSL was 8.5. I had my usual breakfast and went for 4km walk which I usually do every day when possible. My sugar lever gradually came down and by the time I went to bed it around 22:00 it was 6.5!
    I tried a special test recommended by my Endocrinologist in Zurich that took nearly two months to complete (DNA test?) the test could not identify my type of diabetes? That was a waste of CHF 2000!! Just so you know my HbA1c is around 7 (when I am behaving well with food)!! And my Thyroid test is normal! Thou I have one thyroid removed in 2014 and this was compensated by an additional tablet of thyroxin level .50 every day.
    I am 65 years of age! What do you think is the case here?
    I appreciate your input since you seem more up to speed in term of medical as well as dietary knowledge
    Many thanks and sincere best wishes

    Got my life back..
    I will contuine doing fasting every week till i reach my goalweight.
    Eating Ketovore/carnivore since september 2019...
    The diet is perfect..
    But was impossible to drop weight... had stalled for 12 months in weighloss, because of insulinresistance in the body...
    I did a fasting C-peptide/glucose
    And it show i was not diabetic but had little to much insulin in body for making it possible to drop weight (my homa score was in september 1.62)
    So started eat 2 times between 9.00AM-14.00PM fasting 14.00PM -9.00AM
    + the 72 hours fast every week...
    And now 46 kilo is gone 😊😊😊

    I love you health experts on utube who are educating us on diet and what’s needed to turn things around. I’m stage 2 fatty liver cirrhosis, was telling my doctor for about 3 years I was hurting in my liver area, he laughed it off, turns out I was feeling my liver go bad. Since then, in the past several months, I’ve been following and listening to people like this man, and I’m slowly changing my diet, I had topped out at 165, I’m down to 148 now, and I’m 5’3’ female, most of my weight now is in my mid section. I was also diagnosed as President- diabetic, a doctor on utube said, no such thing, you better change your eatting habits now because you are headed to insulin or metformin in a matter of time. Doctors can’t tell the truth all the time, goverment pushes unhealthy diet so we have to take unhealthy meds. So glad to be able to listen to these experts!

      Right! Most of the doctors are in cahoots with the Pharmaceutical industry (or Big Pharma)! They won't tell people decent alternatives because they know that the industry & the government won't make them any money.
      They just prefer people to take the same medicines that they're prescribing you. And we're the ones who have to figure out alternatives ourselves!

The key is to ask your doctor to include a test called 'Glucose' on your normal blood labs as well as a test called 'Insulin' so you can calculate your HOMA-IR which is showing whether you have Insulin Resistance and/or Type 2 Diabetes. Doctors are sometimes 'resistant!' ha ha to adding the 'Insulin' test to your labs but just ask them calmly and that you are interested in your own health. Dr. Ekberg explains it all really clearly.

    Doc, I am going to be 66 and have been a digger for health truths for many decades (after watching the nightmare of chem warfare aka big FARMA-AHHH my mom went through). You are the FIRST person to educate me on this subject in a way that it made perfect sense and I thank you. ❤ (I never fully understood the insulin/glucose relationship) Clean the floor!!!! 👍

    I ended up with severe (stage 4) kidney disease due to a severe urinary tract infection. I didn't feel the usual symptoms of the UTI because I'm paralyzed due to a spinal cord injury, and I have no sensation below the level of my injury, so it snuck up on me and went systemic. Oddly, I don't have insulin resistance or diabetes. That could be due to my diet. I'm vegan, and have never been someone who eats sweets. One odd thing is that even though I'm not doing dialysis (I take meds which keep me alive, and which would be filtered out leading to my death if I did), my kidney functions have returned to near close to normal. My creatinine level has been measured at 2.0 for the last three times they have tested it. My doctor says that you can't reverse end stage kidney disease, but that whatever I'm doing, I should keep it up. As I said before, I'm vegan, and in addition I eat almost no processed foods. I pretty much make everything I eat from scratch, and I even grow some of my own food, including many of the herbs and spices I use. A lot of herbs and spices can be grown indoors. I even grow my own ginger and turmeric inside. The turmeric is super easy to dehydrate and grind in a spice grinder or coffee mill, and when you make it fresh like that, it tastes so much better than anything you can get commercially that there simply isn't any comparison.
    But I digress. Another thing I do which might be helping is that I drink a lot of water. Since I'm paralyzed, I have to drink a lot of water to try to prevent UTI's. Drinking water is good for the kidneys, and also helps keep things clean. I live in a city where the water is particularly good, and where the city water supply comes from artesian wells. It tastes better than anything you can get in bottles, and it's not chlorinated all to the devil, and isn't fluoridated. It's just good sweet water which feels great going down.
    I don't necessarily recommend my diet for others, but it has definitely worked for me. If you are in stage 4, and nothing else is working, you might try going vegan, not consuming much sugar, bread, drinking lots of water, and refraining from eating processed foods.
    Keep in mind that my kidney disease was not the result of diabetes, and I have no idea what this sort of diet might have on someone with diabetes. Still, what Dr Ekberg is saying fits with what I've been eating all my life. I'm not going to be able to repair the damage to my kidneys, but I can and do keep the floors clean, and that has got to help.

    Sadly, my doctor didn't test my fasting insulin until I was already diabetic. Knowing what I Know now, I should have been tested for fasting insulin years before that. He knew I had kidney issues at the time, and high blood pressure.

    Hi Dr.Ekberg, really appreciate your excellent consciousness-raising videos.
    Please make a video about dairy products and their effects on health as there are many contradictory opinons about them among low-carb community.
