Nate get ahold of doctor mores . Your kidneys a fixable! He’s a natural doctor that cure people all over the world . I’ve been to his school and practice his teachings . I also work with sick people and your symptoms are 100% fixable!!
🎯 ❤
You're not alone Nate I'm battling stage 4 kidney failure myself it started for me at age 42 yrs old. I didn't know what was going on with me I kept vomiting and in constant pain when I went to the doctor and went through all kinds of test and when my lab results came back that's when I found out that my kidneys were failing the urologist also discovered a mass in my lower back that caused my kidneys to fail, I under went surgeries and the mass is still there I was told that the mass was so hard inside me the doctors could only chip pieces of off and have it tested its non cancerous and now I'm at the age 54 yrs old. I have to have infusion treatments to shrink the mass. By the grace of God I'm still here take it one day at a time I enjoy it like it's my last. God bless.
🙏🏿
Healing and Blessings to You
@@grovedwayne390 Thank you❤️
I'm sorry to hear what you are battling my friend but your still here and i hope there is a lot of life for you to live
God bless
I was diagnosed with kidney failure when I was 17 years old. I was on dialysis for 2 years. I finally received a kidney transplant. I have had this kidney transplant for 23 going on 24 years. I am very thankful for my gift. Keep fighting the fight Nate.
Do you have to take anti rejection pills
@@jemini7452 Yes, I take three types of anti rejection pills daily.
@@kidney122398 is that a forever thing and is the side effects?
I take them for life. Prednisone effects my glucose levels and can get cataracts. I currently take a small dosage. Prograf I use to have hand tremors. That was when I started taking them. I don't have that problem. Cellcept I would have a loose stool. My doctor reduced the dosage. Now I don't have any problems with my anti rejection meds.
Hope you live a really long time, Nate. This world still needs you
Jake paul
that KO from Jake Paul really hit him hard
Lol he can buy new ones 😂
How is he gonna do that with diseased kidneys ? How David how ?
He's like 5'8 and was dunking and blocked Yao, the things he was able to do while dealing with a serious illness is just amazing, respect👏🏽
Truly a rare specimen.
Obviously I admire his courage and wish him recovery (and a transplant, which sounds like it would help the most). But I have to wonder if PEDs were involved in this. Apparently they can place great strain on the kidneys because one acquires muscle mass so fast. I personally believe that basketball (along with tennis and some other sports that mostly avoided scandal) had a steroid era just like baseball, but that it never came to light. NBA players' bodies changed so dramatically in the last 30 years, and I wonder what kind of experimentation with these dangerous enhancers was taking place. Again, we're talking about a 5'9" guy who could literally jump out the gym...
@@SuperRobertoClemente I was thinking the exact same thing,both kidneys, not 1 but 2,that's strange..
@@SuperRobertoClemente No
He was partying too much
I just lost a cousin to kidney failure. He was only 47. My cousin came to visit my mom on Mother's Day in May, he was in a wheel chair and couldn't get into or out of the chair without help. When he and I spoke about his condition, he said.."You know I exercised a lot but I eat shitty foods. My high blood pressure did this." About 3 weeks later, he was gone. That was the last time that I saw him alive. We buried him about 4 weeks later and after the service....our family served the very same foods which ended my cousin's life (fried chicken, mac and cheese, greens, all loaded with salt). My take and I give this to you......please watch your diet. High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, kidney disease and some forms of cancer.....are completely preventable with diet and exercise. Exercise is important but....take it from my cousin Chris....you can't out exercise a bad diet. More whole grains, beans/nuts, lean meats, fatty fish, fresh fruits and veggies.....less fried foods, red meat and processed foods. I truly hope that this saves your life and the lives of those whom you love.
Facts!
Very minimal meats if any...
*SUGAR is the Primary Killer (processed sugars,corn syrup,starches etc.) Processed foods of all kinds with their dyes,preservatives,hormones,pesticides and so on!😥
R.I.P to your cousin 🙏🙏 & thank you for helping and sharing
I have kidney disease and all meats nuts and whole wheat I'd what can make you loose kidneys faster. A vegan diet with low protein and lots of water I'd the key
@@travwash0851 take stinging nettle herb too it help with kidney problem
May he rest in peace.
I’m currently fighting the same battle, and have been privately for the past few years. I pray for strength everyday because it’s a battle. Especially for a person that’s used to being fit and living an athletic lifestyle. The main thing that make you laugh will make you cry . Thank you Nate for sharing this, it encourages me to be more vigilant in my journey.
Same here, I was in the army ran every day was always fit and active. Now I'm on dialysis and it takes a alot out of me. Hard to be my normal self it's a mental and physical struggle.
Yall stay strong 🙏
From 2004 until a couple years ago, I’ve had kidney problems as well but until a couple years ago, they we’re getting a lot better, gods glory is real, keep fighting
I honestly never knew he dealt with this. Man much respect to Nate 🙏🏽
Damn all after Jake Paul My life has been terrible . Good luck nate you a humble beast
Word, me too.
Real talk
@@ViolentThoughts jake paul his dad
It’s also embarrassing himself royally
Thanks for sharing your story Nate. My kidneys failed in February 2007. I was on dialysis for a while and the Doctors told me I would be on dialysis for the rest of my life. My doctors were good, but I had a immediate family and extended family (The Church Without Walls). More importantly, like you I have a God who hears and answers prayer. God completely healed my body and I am no longer on dialysis. My kidneys started functioning within a few weeks and I have not experienced any other problems with my kidneys. Keep the faith and keep praying. I'm also praying for you.
What foods did you eat that helped u heal your body ?
I am a dialysis nurse. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story.
Keeping praying and tell God how you help the less fortunate while asking for specific help to get the best help from God. Makes all the difference.
HALLELUJAH 🎉
Thank u for your story it gives me hope my number is @ 13 I have changed my diet I'm 63 I'm praying i don't receive dialysis but reading your story gives me hope thank u again
Never knew he dealt with this, but glad he's still here to tell his story. Stay well Nate your a true Warrior.
as a kidney donor to my son this hit home for me
wat
That's incredible he kept this under wraps during his NBA career.
Fr. Never knew. Much respect
Fr fr
@Paul Johnson respect for what lol not tellin his personal business?
@@whatupcuzz3155 he's saying respect for him in general, for just being a resilient and tough person
I had no idea!
Nate is a freak of nature! I was blessed to be able to donate one of my kidneys to my eldest son earlier this year. It’s the best thing I’ve done in my life. Many blessings to Nate and his family. I will be praying for him.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So happy for you and your son. That's one of the most hearfelt things you could do for a love one.
Much blessings and prayers to you and your son.

Hope you make it through 🙏🏾
knocked out by jake paul
@@SGnumber1Yuzhong Jake Paul fan girl
Always loved and felt inspired by Nate. His legacy is way bigger than his stature. Didn't know he was going through all of this while he was shining on the court. But pressure turns basic carbon into diamonds. Stay strong Nate - we rooting for you - you're not alone
that KO from Jake Paul really hit him hard
Knowing that he was dealing with this in the background makes me respect him even more. What an absolute legend.
Big facts 💯
Jake paul
I had no idea he was sick. He was one of my favorites players on the Knicks, I hope you get well soon Nate.
Stay strong, listen to the docs, take your meds, don't stress, adjust your diet, and always make your dialysis appointments. I didn't play in the NBA, but I have endured a similar situation. In January, I'll be celebrating 5 years with my transplant. I am praying for you!!!!
God bless you,bro.
What's the best diet?
That's great to hear man!! I'll be celebrating 5 years as well at the end of January 2023
Wow, this gives me hope, I’ve been on dialysis for 6 years, and still waiting for a transplant. Godbless us all
@@AMPFIELDVISION animal based diet is the best and cut out seed oils and all that junk food. Carnivore md has nore info on it
A lot of love and empathy in the comments. Thanks to all of those who said positive things about Nate in this matter, I'm sure they help to lift his spirit along with your prayers
You're an inspiration. Despite health conditions, you still did greatness out there.
As a dialysis patient for 6 years, I say you got this! It’s a tough road, but like he said, God will not put you through something that you can’t overcome. I’ll pray for you brother. Godbless everyone that’s going through life struggle…🙏🙏
My prayers are with you ,my father went through dialysis and I have to admit I was scared to lose my father but he remained strong 💪 and kept me grounded 🙏 He moved to Virginia fron Houston and got a kidney transplant. God will make a way!
🙏💪
@@jonathanlewis6834 thank you sir, Thank God your father got a transplant. Hope he lives life to the fullest🙏
Try a mudra it healed my step father 💯
God Bless You also 🙏🏼
I’m on dialysis now, waiting transplant
I love the nba and what the players put their bodies through, but your health is number 1. I wish the best for you Nate, thank you for speaking out
Edit:
I am 24 years old, I finished college and worked full time while juggling dialysis 🙏
If u not drinking Nepro tell ur doctor to put u on them I drink them I done had 2 kidney transplant. They good for ur kidney
@@blackloyalty2302 is it a prescription?
@@WingoTribe704 yea it's something like ensure but ensure got alot more sugar. NEPRO is for people on dialysis
Damn bro rooting for you to get better stay strong!
@@blackloyalty2302 you had 2 kidney transplants? Kidneys out there like that ? No wait list or nothing
Wow. You can see the Kidney failure in his eyes. Thats one of the first signs, hope you get better big bro. Stay strong.
In tears. Praying for you brother thanks for what you’ve impacted my life
This man is one of the most incredible athletes of my lifetime. I wish you nothing but the best. We have nothing but love for you !
Stay strong Nate
As a nurse that takes care of Chronic Kidney Disease patients I can tell you that as long as you take care of yourself there is plenty of life in to be had.
That's very encouraging to hear
Can he get a kidney transplant and live a healthy life?
Was in the hospital a while back for kidney stones, pain was so bad that I was on a wheelchair. Had to make changes to my diet. I’m right here with you Nate.
God bless you Nate Robinson. I'm praying for you brother keep the Faith.❤
Hell of a player. His bulls playoff run was so memorable in my brain. It was so amazing what he did!!
Yes, it was.
I got to go to the triple overtime playoff game and I was so happy I got to see him play. I was mad when the bulls traded him.
fax
He wasn’t that good.
As a bulls fan I still rewatch those years. What a run
Damn you never know what people are going through....🙏💪
Heart of a lion and nobody can't take that from u. Watched u Sense u entered the league and u accomplished it all. That's why I see u beating these prayers to u brother 💪🏾🙏🏿
Praying for your health🙏
God bless 🙏
My daughter Savanna was diagnosed with Renal failure a month before her 16th birthday. She just celebrated her 30th birthday this past October. Her journey wasn’t easy, but through her inner strength and faith, she is living a healthy and productive life. My thought and prayers go out to you and your loved ones…
what are they eating?
@@sirjohnahayfalcon that what I would like to know ?
Damn had no idea he was dealing with this. One of my favorite point guards to bless the game. Stay strong Nate 🙏🏾
I’ve always looked up to Nate as a basketball fan, he’s a real inspiration for us shorter hoopers. Get well soon Nate the great!❤️🌍
Nate, this is Apostle Gary Wyatt, Solomon Wyatt’s dad, and I want you to know that I am praying for your healing and believing God for you and with you!
Nate the Giant. Your legacy will live forever. Prayers up.
Stay strong Nate!! I’m 35 went through cancer about 8 years ago. Still getting back to be normal. It’s Hard man , when you don’t have the resources. But like you said tough times don’t last tough ppl do..
❤
Nah he’s making excuses because he got knocked out by a kid
@@thenegotiator8414 what a loser ass statement to make in lieu of the information he shared in this interview. I swear it's f#%k boys like you that make me almost hate the internet!
I’m glad that you are still here to share your story. May each day for you be another day towards getting back to who you are.
@@thenegotiator8414 Nate wouldn't play like that with a illness!
We're with you Nate! Stay strong! 💪🏼
You can see it in his eyes that he's sick and dealing with something I never knew this I'm glad he's in good spirits he will over come this he's a warrior
This hurts been watching Nate since he was at Rainer Beach he gave all us under 6ft guys hope we’d were jumpsoles everyday just to have hops like him. Praying he pulls through for him and his family he’s truly been a inspiration to us all!! 🙏
Praying you have a full and speedy recovery Mr. Robinson 🙏🏽
I loved Nate when he was in the Bulls. Stacey King made all his shots sound legendary! He is a legend! Live a long healthy life Nate!
He’s a good dude, I talked to him every once in a while at the grocery store I worked at. Never knew him on a personal level but he seemed really humble. Even though he would come in right before we closed so he can shop in peace, he would always take pictures with fans when they asked. Props to him and hope the best for him.
Nate the giant. Forever a legend. This is a great reminder to us all. Special shout out to you Polo K! Glad to have met you and happy to see that your doing great things in this world. Thank you guys for the beautiful piece of work.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Man this video has me in tears!!! Im also a dialysis patient for 8 years and feel every word he said. We must stay strong 💪
I’m fighting with you 🙏🏾. I have stage 3 PKD…. Changing your diet is the right way to go. I have transitioned my diet to 90 raw foods and my kidney function improved by 7% … in our world that’s huge! Message me for full details if my diet and herbal regimen… I’ll be happy to share ….
Did you drink a lot of soda?
How old were you when you were diagnosed
@@PurebelleLocs I'd love to know your regimen .my dad is in stage 4 and I have a history. Id like to start fighting it now

Lost my brother from that shit, man Nate continue the battle and battle hard! Love.
Prayers to you Nate we love you bro. You will overcome this like everything else you have. You are a beast my man. Much love brudda ❤️
One of the best small guys that laced up for the NBA. Be praying for you Nate🙏.
I just lost my father yesterday due to kidney failure, I also lost my grandfather (my fathers fathers) the same way. Both were alcoholics, I know their stories dont relate to Nates, but Im glad hes pushing through this, and I will pray that hes able to continue to live a long healthy life, because his loved ones deserve to have him around for a very long time.
Prayers brother
Prayers brother sorry for your loss
Prayers up I need to stop drinking I have a beautiful 10 year old daughter and 45 drink everyday I'm going to stop.
so sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss
Nate i will keep you in my prayers
Prayers bro ❤
Nate Robinson was such a staple for me in my life and basketball, such a big motivation as a fellow little guy (5'7) who played basketball in college. Get well soon!
Tough times don't last tough people do 💯
Same bro. I’m 5’10 but Nate was the proof for me as a kid that I could make it despite everyone telling me I couldn’t. I didn’t make it obviously but that hope and proof that it could happen was all was needed. Nate was one of hardest workers no doubt
5'7? Um he was definitely 5'9🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@@tonylawton2454 I think he's saying he himself is 5'7
@@tonylawton2454 I was saying I'm 5'7 I had the luxury to go to some of his camps back in high school and he is a legit 5'9
Proud of you Nate. We'll support and check out the resources on how we can end this disease.
I went into kidney failure, in 1992. I've been on dialysis for 20.5 years, of my life.
Waiting for my 2nd kidney transplant.
Stay strong and FAITHFUL in GOD. You can make it through this.
Be Blessed Nate!
Had no idea; prayers up for Nate! 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Nate was one of my favorite players. Was always underrated and under used. Hope your health improves big Nate!
Beautiful share man 🙏🙏🙏
Praying For You My Brother , you give me strength to go on, and fight Tough People
Nate has always been a class-act and a role model. Wishing him and anyone in a similar scenario wellness
But he's not a NBA legend
@@mackdabear in terms of top 100, of course not. But he is a legend in terms of his height, athletic ability and his dunk contest championships. Similar to Spudd Webb or Vince Carter.
As a kidney donor 11 years ago it's the greatest thing I did in donating. So much pride and joy from saving a life. Something that I just can't explain. My mom is still alive as well. It was such an easy thing in and out of the hospital in a day at 35 years old when I did it. I try my best to always speak of the procedure and process to educate others of how easy it was and how incredible the power is to save another humans life
Good 4 u man
You're a good person D_K.
God bless you
Not all hero’s wear capes Godbless you fr 💯
@@Westcoastguy gosh I really was not anticipating or requesting the love. I'd rather have everyone know you can live a comfortable life with 1 kidney. It hurts me when I hear someone on dialysis or dying from this...
Always loved Nate
Wonderful dude.
Nate Rob is the reason I knew I would be dunking one day, growing up in Seattle being a 5'9 guy myself I would watch him win the Dunk Contest and be nothing but inspired. Thank you Nate you did what you set out to do AND MORE!
We love you Nate. A legend forever.
Much respect Nate
Damn, god bless your life Nate… you can see in his face it’s taking a toll on him
Grew up watching him play. Was so happy when he was on the Bulls. Wish him the best. Much love.
As a bulls fan myself I'm happy he played for the bulls prayers up🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks, Nate, for all the great memories you and the boys (Jamal, Marbury, David Lee, Curry, Q-Rich, Jeffries and all the rest) gave us. Many times, you had me jumping out of my seat at one of your plays. God bless.
Blessings to Nate.
THANK YOU NATE
They say, “You are what you eat.” But for Nate, I’d say YOU ARE AMAZING. You’ll get through this I believe in that.
Stay strong man!! Legend, Thanks for sharing your story.

Shout out to Nate Robinson. No matter how much money, how healthy, how successful you are. Appreciate your time with your family and friends. Give back to those who don't have anything. The things we take for granted bro. Stay happy and healthy yall. Shoutout to Nate for telling his story and making us aware.
Man I love Nate Robinson. When you saw that guy, all I could see was a HUGE heart. On and off the court. He was just a guy I rooted for regardless of whatever team he was on. All the best to him.
Prayers for you brother!
Prayers up lil homie!
I’m currently dealing with this now. You can see the fluid build up in his face from the kidney failure.

You're a real one. Stay strong Nate 🙏
Get well soon nate!

This breaks my heart. He hid this for a long time. My Daughers mom passed way from kidney failure . 😢 and Nate Robinson was one my favorite players in the NBA I hope he beats this. #naterobinson #yougotthis #dontstopkeepgoing
Such a warrior man! Truly fearless. Praying for him and his family rn. It’s crazy because I never even knew he was dealing with anything of the sort. He never showed any signs of weakness or sadness. Always energy, passion, and performing all out. Much respect to Nate🙏🏾
Never know what people are going through, some rather keep it to themselves.. He can't hide it no more, he's obviously suffering because his face shows it all now.
Appreciate you Nate🙏🏾💯
Appreciate you Nate ❤💯
