- Episode 30: Chronic Kidney Disease Treatment: How I increased my GFR & improved my kidney function Part 1. Just 6 months ago today I was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease stage 5 and was told there was "Zero" chance of improving kidney function and that there was nothing I could do to lower my creatinine levels and increase my GFR. The doctors had no recommended chronic kidney disease recovery treatment for me - only dialysis. The doctors where wrong! In just 6 months I have changed my life and increased my GFR, lowered my creatinine levels, and improved my kidney function from Stage 5 to Stage 3. In this video, part 1 of 2, I share what I feel are the 10 most impactful things that helped me improve my kidney function, lower my creatinine level, and avoid dialysis. Let this video inspire you to take an active role in your kidney disease treatment and push for better care. Let me help you in your chronic kidney disease stage 5 recovery!

1. Built an amazing health team.
The first part of a good kidney disease treatment program is building a health team. My #1 support is not my Nephrologist - it is my Primary Care Physician. He is very positive, straight forward, and is there to help me get better. My Nephrologist mostly keeps an eye on my improvements, but really gives me little support or details. My Endocrinologist and Urologist have put my worries to rest of other serious issues. My Dietitian is the #2 player in my team. She is amazing at listening and giving me real advice - including exactly HOW to do things. I had to go through a lot of others to get this team built, but strong communication and a dedication to getting better like no other has been critical.
2. Manage my blood pressure
I made this a priority. It took some trial and error, but I take my blood pressure at home multiple times a day and pushed my doctors to change my meds quickly if I didn’t see positive results. It took about 1 month to find the right combo of kidney friendly meds to get my blood pressure down to under 130/80 consistently.
3. Eat a low inflammation kidney friendly diet.
Check out my video on how to shop for foods at the grocery store and download my list of low inflammation kidney friendly foods that I eat. The list is pretty massive - the largest I’ve ever seen. Yet it is missing a number of foods you may have heard are ok to eat which I have not included in my diet. Such as potatoes - even leaching potatoes is not acceptable to me. Following this renal diet and never cheating got me from Stage 5 to Stage 3 in about 5 months. At stage 3 I modified my diet - it is a different strategy to get from Stage 5 to 3 than going from Stage 3 to 2. I also strongly encourage everyone to see a Renal Dietitian. They will customize your diet and set the daily min and max for key nutrients like Water, Calories, Protein, Potassium, Phosphorous, Calcium, and Sodium.
4. Used supplements to support my body.
The word “supplement” scares a lot of people because they don’t understand the word, but supplements are a key part of my kidney disease treatment program. There are good and bad supplements. The ones which have really helped me the most are Fiber supplements (like Benefiber and Chitosan capsules), Vitamin D3, Vitamins B6 and B12, Omega 3, and a lot of other vitamins and minerals. As the right balance was figured out, I was able to replace a lot of different tablets with less - mostly thanks to a Renal Multivitamin called Pro-Renal+D w/Omega3. I also take CoQ10 to support my heart and blood pressure.
5. Avoided things which could slow or stop my recovery
I removed all NSAIDs from the house and only take medications or supplements approved by my health team. I drink plenty of water - started out at ½ my body weight in ounces and adjusted as I lost weight. Avoided all sodas and juices - I stuck with only drinking water from Stage 5 to 3. At stage 3 I added 1 small cup of coffee in the morning without any additives except MCT oil. I avoided all Artificial ingredients, preservative, and I read all food labels for everything I purchased. I stopped eating out except for an occasional treat and always stuck to the diet.

Amazing congratulations!💛 I have stage 2 which was a shock. I wish my Dad had been as proactive and educated as you have committed to be. He might still be alive today
I was so devastated when I was diagnosed with CKD stage 5. I am 24 years old. My doctor told me i have to go through a dialysis, and yesterday was my 5th dialysis. This video gives me hope to get better.
I'm glad the videos help. Once on dialysis, it is difficult to get off it without a transplant, but it is possible! Check out this book - he was on dialysis and got off it and shares what he did: amzn.to/2HMkYQ2
How did you get to with out notice? Did you never has any sintoms?
ANGIE VLOGS I’m 25 at stage 5 they are telling me the same..
My father suffering from kidney desease with ckd 5th stage how can I do
@@col3hearted453 how are you doing now?.
Thank you for your time making these videos, and for your hopeful attitude.
James and his dadvice program has given me hope, everyone needs to listen to his show. Healthcare in uk is terrible. In the six months that I had been diagnosed stage 4 I’ve only seen my nephrologist once for five minutes and even had to prompt him to recommend a renal dietitian. Pretty bad!
Thank you for your help James.
Curious how you are doing?
Probably great listening to this video, Thank James follow him, n ur Dr of course
Thank you James! I grateful the Lord kept you around! You are doing a good work! Bless you!!
My daughter has been diagnosed Stage 5. No prior symptoms. Creatinine around 6 and GFR 8. Need lot of support to improve and follow your steps🤞🙏
How is your daughter now?
Have her completely change her diet to a plant based diet and eat more fiber through fruits and vegetables
How is your daughter now. What happened to her in such a young age. Kindly share with us her correct condition we pray for blessing. Good wishes From Pakistan
You are a hero! You offer hope to so many with your friendly message of self-help and deliverance from the medical establishment. God bless you!
Thank you Lexi.
If only I had learned about ibuprofen 10 years ago.....my doctor never told me what I was doing to my kidneys, but I am committed to following this advice now.
Me also 😢
Same here🥲
Thank you so much!! I feel better knowing there's hope. Blessings 🙌
Good video & information. I will be keeping my eye out for Part 2 to this video. Thank you for being so positive. It is true that Nephrologists don't know enough about healing Kidneys. Keep up the great work James. I am sure you will reach your goal !!

Thanks for caring.
Thank you James!
Hi My creatinine was 19 then came down to 12, i got 4 sessions in dialysis but still hope's on recovering through diet and help from your videos. Thanks
Check out the videos I do with Dr. Ro and Dr. Butt - you'll find lots of helpful and encouraging info in those. Here is a link to Dr. Butt's guest appearances playlist: th-cam.com/video/2A65hKeAQrU/w-d-xo.html

Thank you. I needed this.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for putting these together. !!!!
Low inflammation kidney-friendly diet. (Phos phosphorous, excess potassium, no potatoes no avocado) . Use good supplements (fiber, benefiber, D3 CoQ10, B6, B12, omega-3, and others). Pro-renal + D.
NO SODA AT ALL.
Part 01
This was great 👍
keep up the good fight for health😊
I don’t have kidney disease but I am always excited to watch your vedio..I am so happy to see that your vedio have ads now,I hope you will get better🙏.
Thank you! One day I will be posting a bloopers video - keep an eye out for that and it should have you laughing like crazy. You won't believe the mistakes I make while making these. :-)
You have helped me so much. Thank you very much!
Happy to help!
Thanks. At stage 3 and want to stay at that stage. I had been eating wrong. Ate banana's every day and loved baked potatoes. Stopped them all and other things. Never been a soda drinker. Anyway great videos.
Omg bananas will be the hardest thing for me. I love them and eat them everyday
Praised God you have good self control and did best to improve or heal yourself by studying and following the goodness and effectivity and ev3n share to all people suffering kidney troubles. Thanks and Godbless you more. 🙏☝️❤️😘
Hi, I need help. My Gfr is 72. I am 40. Any suggestions?
You have given me some hope...I am stage 4 ckd
Wow looking so much healthier now than the first few videos. Nice job.
I am so glad I found your videos. Thank you
God bless you James Fabin. You and Dr Rosansky are saving more lives than a battalion of fire fighters. I am studying both of your books like I am preparing for college exams.
Thanks for your positivity and support!
@DADVICETV My PTH INTACT Parathyroid blood test shows my number is 355. Normal is 13 to 85. No doctor has bothered to mention phosphate binders. I wouldn't even know that I have that problem to address if I had not read it in Dr Rosansky's book. He should be teaching at a University.
Very wonderful resource from a kind heart. Very grateful to you! I have had a bizarre history since i noticed i had slipped to efgr59. I knew it was on account of my BP as i had known of the relationship. Immediately, i started taking lots of water and it shot up to 62. Unfortunately, my physician just said everything was normal so i wasnt paying too much attention. Just last year February, i did my annual meds and realised it efgr was 55. Started searching for remedies with more water and green tea and guess what, a repetition of my meds just last week saw my efgr at around 35. Very significant drop. Now, i have just changed my BP drugs and going to follow a strict regimen on food. I am inspired by your videos that if there is the will and with a great deal of luck, it can be overcome so much. Thank You
How are you now ?
Love your videos. Has helped my attitude. I just learned I have been diagnosed with stage 3 GFR 41. What books do you recommend? Did you reach your goal of reaching stage 2? I am in KY.
How are you doing now? Have you improved?
Way to improve GFR for kidney failure
1. Built a health team - always why
2. Managed blood pressure
3. Ate a low inflammation kidney
- say no avocado, no banana, no potato
4. Used supplements - fiber or benefiber, omega 3
5. Avoided that cause kidney damage
- No soda, painkillers
B
Congratulations on your results. I'm writing from Oz and I'm assuming you mean no soda relates to fizzy, sugary drinks, not Soda Water? As a diabetic for the last 35 years I manage quite well on low carbs now but had not been aware of the painkillers, and I fact had recommended paracetamol to help with gout pain (not aspirin).
Wow, pls is paracetamol amongst the list of pain killers to avoid?
I wish I had the time to watch all your videos; but I doubt I would have the time to put all your information into my mind, and then the time to put it into action to help myself.
I wish you had a printable version of the diet you used to help yourself, it would be much easier if you did for those of us older people to follow for the short time we have left, thank you, God bless.
Check out this book - it is amazing and will have most of what you need: go.dadvicetv.com/book
Proper thank you.
Dude you’re a badass I’m stage 3 GFR just came in at 53 I feel optimistic I can get above 60 after watching this!
You can do it! The higher your GFR, the easier it is to increase it with diet and lifestyle changes. Be careful with focusing too much on your GFR - it's just a measurement and really is very general. Focus on how you feel, how your blood pressure is, and things related to your health. You won't notice a different between GFR 80 and GFR 50 - it really isn't until your GFR is fairly low that issues start appearing.
@@DADVICETV what's numbers are low for you feel?
YOU ARE THE BEST!!
Thank you!
Thanks so much! Your are GREAT!!!!!
Glad it helped!
I am happy to listen to this video. Stage 4 . What supplement can i take for the bone.
Thank-you so much! I just heard that I have stage 3 a (55) but will be retested soon. Currently have a bladder / kidney infection but am also overweight.
How are you now Bonnie ?
Thanks Mr. James to share your CKD experience with all of us. You are brave enough to fight. l was also diagnosed CKD stage 3b (creatinine 189) last year May 2020 and was broken hearted till l started watching your videos, it gave me courage and Now my creatinine level is 141 .
Appreciate your courage and giving guidelines to others .
God bless you.
Thanks for sharing and great to have you here in our community. Our community is a great source of support, motivation, and hope.
What did you do, or what did you change to change your numbers?
@@DADVICETV I have protein urea issue but no diabetic I am kindly advise how to lower protein in urine. Age 68
plz guide
How old you are from which country you belong.Would you like to share your current position please will help others to maintain their kidney health
Excellent 👍
Omg, I just discovered your videos and after watching them I feel so much better. My mother's doctor just told her that her creatinine is at 1.4 and it is not good. Right now I am stressing out. Your video really helps me to believe that there are things I could do. I believe that her creatinine is this high because she had been sick for a long time so all she eats are blended meat mixed with rice porridges every day. I think the protein is causing her level to be this high. She doesn't have any fibers in her diet which I will start incorporating after watching your videos.
Ace - glade you found my channel. You mom is actually very lucky to discover her Kidney issues so early. Being sick will also throw off her test and most people start to see decreased kidney function as they get older. I'm sure her doctor will recommend a change in her diet. It will seem a little extreme at first, but she'll get used to it and find lots of great alternatives. After just a few months I no longer missed the old foods that were the key staples of my unhealthy diet (like Big Macs, French Fries, Ice Cream, etc.). I'm just a few minutes away from uploading Part 2 of what I feel were the most important things to improve my health - check it out and I'm sure you'll find more helpful information. Good luck and it really warms my heart that you are concerned and helping your mom! There is so much conflicting (and bad) info out there and having someone help is amazing!
@@DADVICETV thank you so much for responding. God blesses you and I pray that everything you wanted will come true. Stay strong and healthy.

Hello sir my brother suffering from ckd 5 on dialysis 2 time a week please help me sir to lower createnine
Great video!!!!
I thank God for using you to put this videos together to encourage lost hopes thank you n I pray for more grace sir.
So nice of you. When I was in the ICU I had an experience that made me think of how fragile our lives really are. I am using this 2nd chance to improve my health and help others do the same. Thanks.
Well said... Amen!
Interesting videos, thanks for sharing. I’m 42 years old & had CKD since 2017, I’m now GFR 31 (down from 34 in Feb) with creatinine >200.
I am the same as you. I need to follow these recommendations
My Sister has createnine of 585. We're addressing this with diet because we don't have money for the operation or dialysis. I pray there's hope.
Hey thanks for the hope sir! Found I have stage 2 (GFR 80) yesterday...i had quit drinking for 6 weeks prior to knowing my kidneys had damage. Going to try your tips, hope I can get GFR to 90+ again
You got this! You're VERY lucky to have discovered so early. Make sure your doctor determines the underlying cause so that you manage that to prevent any additional damage. Making changes now has a very high chance of you never needing to worry about kidney failure!
Isn't 80 normal within normal range? The lab I go to says anything above 60 is within "normal limits" which I found strange, as the optimal numbers I read, should be in the 90s.
@@michelle75504 between 60 and 90 is stage 2 kidney disease
@@immers2410 no its not. there are many factors that are needed to before making that diagnosis. such as ...i quote "However, for values in the range of 60 - 89 mL/min/1.73 m2, doctors will consider kidney disease only if there is additional evidence of kidney damage, such as polycystic kidney disease (cysts in the kidneys), proteinuria (protein in the urine), or hematuria (blood in the urine). If there are no such abnormalities, GFR of > 60 mL/min/1.73m2 is regarded as normal"...
@@EspirituDeSilentio thanks for the correction
James can you please do a video on sleep apnea and CKD? I found that my sleep apnea had hurt my kidneys and now wearing a bipap.
You talked about Ibuprofen and it's dangers. My wife used to take Tylenol twice a day on the advice of her old doctor. She died because of liver failure caused by the Tylenol.
Im sorry for your loss.
Same happened to a dear friend and mentor of mine :/
My egfr fluctuates. One month it will be 63 and then 6 months later its 83. What do you think this means? My albumin, protein, BUN, Calcium levels are normal, but my creatinine is a tad high at 136. I had high blood pressure a few years ago and I had bad kidney stones last summer that completely shut off both my kidneys until I was hospitalized.
+RubberWilbur I am not a doctor, but hydration plays a big roll in your labs. Just being slightly dehydrated, having a higher muscle mass, and having done some exercise can all increase your creatinine levels. Creatinine is also added in a variety of supplements to help build muscles. Your primary care physician should be able to help narrow down the cause. It never hurts to eat a balanced and healthy diet - avoiding things which can harm your kidneys. Your GFR will also decrease with age.
Can we try to work with legislators to do something about Ibuprofen? I feel the same as you.
Thank you so much for the advice. What does the endocrinologist and urologist do?
Excellent advice!
Can you please share from what GFR level has it come down to?
The prorental vitamin do you think you could of just took that in stage 5? Doesn't that not have enough omegas in it?
what foods cause high bun?
How did she help reduce the pills you took?
Who are your 5 renal dietitians you use?
Can you make a video of resources? Books, who is Dr Barry and what is his name spelling, etc.
So very happy for you and thank you so much for the info!
Great video! Thank you🌸
Good advice and thanks , gives me hope. I’m stage 5 and have been this way for three years without dialysis. Drs don’t have an explanation why I’m able to function well at this stage. I take a regimine of meds daily and watch my diet for phosphorus and potassium. I also take binders for those. If I was stricter like you said could my numbers improve. My labs are high creatinine and low GFR but I’m stable for all this time. I’d love to get to stage 3,and be off some of these meds. Can it be done. I lost my right kidney 3 years ago due to an infection and I had PKD but didn’t know it for years. I had no symptoms.
Hi, Dad! 😊 Hang in there!
Thank you so much love you
Thankyou, Da
Hi james my egfr six weeks ago was31 today i did my blood work and egfr is 39 jean.
I luv all your information, how mg do you take of COq10?? I read it also helps your BP
Here is the one I take: amzn.to/2H0QPvx They also carry it at Walmart. I like this version since it is said to absorb better. I take 1 100mg capsule each morning.
100 Mgs is Fine Per day..I take the Gummies
Great video and thank you so much for this! If we can't take pain killers what would you recommend for pain?
Brandon that is a tough one! For me I try my best to take nothing, but sometimes you have to. When that times comes I may use Acetaminophen (like Tylenol), or CBC oil (without THC). When I get a headache I make sure I am drinking enough water and use these external gel sheets which I keep in the fridge: amzn.to/2LyD7TH
Just rub some dirt on the painful area.
Kidding aside thanks Dadvice for posting this stuff. I'm not diagnosed and fairly young, but am tempted to try some of your tips anyway
What were the fiber pill form you take, I couldn't understand the name. Thanks
Please tell me how much water at stage 5 first diagnosed did I drink?
What blood pressure medicine you take James ?
Might have stage four diease and like your videos and what is the name of the book you use? What tablets do you have if you dont mind? On ramipril, aborvastin, ampolodine and sertartine a anti depressant
Lucky that you were blessed with such a great Dr! The Drs here in my country, are only interested in getting rid of you as fast as possible & are not interested in discussing much or helping you get the right treatment or support, etc. It's like a conveyer belt system, in, out, neeeeeext! Kaching! Done. They're just not interested. And they get very irritated & impatient and act insulted when you question them. And I can't afford private Drs & private care/treatments. Specially can't afford a dietician!! How am I ever going to get better?? According to the blood work I just had done, I skipped from 100% normal to beginning Stage 3 in 6 months! 59.3 - It's not cancer coz those nrs are healthy!
How are you doing now ?
hi James did you talk all this supplment at stage five or when you in stage 4 or 3( Vitamin D3, Vitamins B6 and B12, Omega 3, Renal Multivitamin called Pro-Renal+D w/Omega3 andCoQ10 )
Good one,how to eliminate kidney cyst?
Hello James my brother just got on dialysis 2 months ago , he was in the ICE almost at deaths door . Do you think he may still have hope to get off dialysis? Also does kidney scarring make it difficult to improve gfr?
While rare, it is not impossible for people to get off dialysis. In addition, there are dialysis alternatives in the works that may be available in the not too distant future - this could allow your brother a solution that is far easier on his body and lifestyle than dialysis. As for scaring, it does make it more difficult since it can impact a lot of areas used by the kidney to filter the blood and reabsorb the nutrients it wants to hold on to.
Dadvice TV - Kidney Health Coach thank you very much for replying. it doesn’t hurt to try and get him better your videos give me some hope for the future have you heard any stories of people getting better despite some scaring ? I have but not sure if it’s accurate or not
Where can you find the anti inflammatory foods?
You can start with the food list I used: www.dadvicetv.com/food - then work with a renal dietitian to customize the diet to you. Good luck!
what is the names of the kidney friendly BP pill?
Which one?
ACE inhibitors have renal protective functions. Lowers Blood Pressure relaxes nephrons.
Tell a best routine diet plus water limit
That is a great suggestion!
Can someone give me a quick summary
Hi, how do I lower protein in my urine
Subbed and liked..My Estimated GFR dipped below 100 to 99 for the First time
I don't drink enough Water and I eat a lot of Junk Food..
So I searched TH-cam and found your video..I hope I can improve my Estimated GFR and My Hemoglobin is lower than usual as well..
hi, Did you have any symptoms?
@@yesa-b9978 No Symptoms so far
Lol, what are you worried about. That's a great stat to have. Mines just gone to 57.
99 is basically the same as 100. Gfr doesn't necessarily diagnose kidney disease. You have to have protein or blood in your urine to technically be diagnosed with ckd. Stay hydrated,keep blood pressure in healthy range,keep away from high intake of pain killers and you will be fine.
I'm looking for a herb to increase hemoglobin to help this
Why would anyone downvote this?
I get lots of downvotes with each video - and almost 5 right away from the admins of one of the largest Facebook Kidney groups. I am banned for being "too positive to really have CKD" and they do their best to try and discourage people from listening to me and all of the experts I bring on. But it doesn't bother me - at least people are finding the videos and over time they may learn something that can help improve their lives.
@@DADVICETV thank you so very much for giving people hope. And actual stuff THEY cam do to positively effect and have real change on thier situations. I cant thank you enough. And shame on them people downvoting you. They must just be a bunch of cons.
Doctors make money on dialysis.
I pray
Hi..are you taking any supplement to get rid of kidney disease
I am on stage 5 and my doctor told me my kidney is scaring, my kidney function is only 13% they are already introducing me for dialysis. Then i stumble upon your video i am hoping as i follow what you did i can reverse my kidney function though they say kidney scaring is hard to reverse, I don’t feel fatigue or itchiness on my skin or even i never loose my appetite. It kinda give me hope when i see your video. Thank you!
Saad Alqarni i am already 40 years old
same i am 11% and pregnant. i need to terminate my baby. may i ask does your kidney size is shrink or is okay?
@@memoryla hi my kidney is ok, I’m so sorry to hear that, my doctor here in canada already told me if i am planning to have a baby don’t ever do it , he said it is very dangerous for me and the baby or it maybe survived but will have a lot of complications because of the medications i am taking. So no kids for me.
How are you doing now?
How can I preserve/keep a 10 year old transplant with declining GFR? Thank you in advance
I don't know how my kidney & other organ ... good .. little bad ... worse : but since I watched your video..... lho be everybody take this as priority as daily information.. also you as a person everybody should love.. thank...so so much.. my Dadvice
I have been unable to find the list of foods you can eat
Do you take Iron supplement tablets or anything to improve your blood platelet ?
The ProRenal+D with Omega 3 multivitamin I take as about 1/2 of my daily iron in 2 tablets - it is truly an amazing multivitamin for kidney patients. Other than that I eat 3oz of red meat twice a week for added iron and purposely look for foods that contain Iron. I've heard that needing iron infusions is not enjoyable.
@@DADVICETV At stage 3, how are you able to cope with the increased urate production from red meat consumption?
(Gout risk.).
CKD stage 2. My first sign was gout. GFR 74.
Also can i ask you if herbal tea any good or not
How long did it take to go from stage 5 to stage 4 for you ?
Which chitosan supplement did you use.
You can see the exact brand I use at www.dadvicetv.com/supplements - but always check with your doctor if adding it is recommended for you. It works are a form of fiber and is not always recommended for everyone. I was battling extreme obesity (still overweight now, but getting better), kidney failure, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, anemia, and other challenges when I started using it.
what is the name of the fiber you use to sprinkle on your food can't find the video you spoke about this on
Hie at what time period you back from stage 5 to 3
Fyi, Im 48 years old. My Uncle sorta forced me to get a check up and Im glad he did. I have been in relatively good shape most of my life...a tad overweight (187)according to BMI charts which I never believed. However, blood test showed everything was in normal range except 3 things. (Creatinine 1.34, eGFR 54,Hemoglobin ACL 1.57) As you’ve stated in your earlier videos I have been to both primary doctor(he says “its nothing to be alarmed about”) My nephrologist(says “just stay off red meat and eat chicken and turkey, oh and watch your salt”) They are not treating this seriously nor giving me any resources to work with. Can you give me some more specifics so I dont have to scour the internet. Like which university should I try first? One friend who had a kidney transplant told me just eat everything in moderation.(That is a broad statement) I need specifics: How many oz of meat to eat a day? Should I be concerned about wheat products at this stage? what should be my view of gluten or soy and such matters? I’d like a caring professional to speak to my specific individual situation(since my research says that this is critical). If you have any more resources you can share Im happy to start the search. Thanks for your words of encouragement.
What was your level? Gfr

You had mentioned about the plant base food-vegan frozen section about the chicken patty, Please tell me the actual name of the brand of chicken patty that you eat. theres a moringstar brand is that the one? please let me know. i love your videos. thank you so much, God bless you.
I eat the Quorn Vegan Chik'n Patti (I prefer the spicy one, which is lightly spiced). Here is a link to their website - always check for coupons too! www.quorn.us/products/quorn-meatless-spicy-vegan-patties

@@DADVICETV I decided to buy a Quorn product but when I got home and read the nutritional info I was horrified to see it had over 200mg of sodium per serving, so into the bin it went. These non-meat products always seem to be very high in sodium, and sodium is a killer for people with kidney disease
Vegan diet is *not* low inflammation unless you're only eating veggies but then you're not getting protein. Animal protein does *not* damage kidneys.
