Are there any suppliments or homapathy treatments for CKD that anyone can recommend that has helped them?

[Cocosa]

Yes, I have used acupuncture and massage from a good doctor in traditional Chinese medicin. I also lowered my red meat and salt consumtion and drink 1 litre extra water each day pluss Omega 3. Also vitamin K2 and D is imortant. We hardly get K2 in our diet any longer, because it is found basically in fermented food. I pay attention to my diet: I eat sourdough bread, homemade kefir, unpasturized butter, cheeses, grassfed meat and ecological vegetables, eggs etc. Stress reduction and enough sleep is also important. I learned meditation. My problem was low gfr (57) and high creatinine. I had no other problems with BT, diabetes, kidneys etc. I have tried homeopathy for other problems , but not for my kidneys.

Thanks. I look into K... I don't take that. Do acupucture helps with stress hasn't change my numbers.

Are you on dialysis?

[Cocosa in reply to itzmich]

No, no! As I wrote in my answer nothing else was found wrong with my kidneys expect gfr.

[Radah in reply to Cocosa]

Doesn't high creatinine and low gfr indicate your kidneys aren't filtering your blood as well as it should? How are your electrolyte levels? No diet restrictions?

[itzmich in reply to Radah]

Yes ....but 57 is still very moderate

[Cocosa in reply to Radah]

Yes, that is right! I managed to rise my gfr from 57 to 90 with the above mentioned dietary changes.

[Radah]

Look up Chitosan and Salvia.

[itzmich in reply to Radah]

Have you tried either??? How long?

[Radah in reply to itzmich]

I haven't yet, I just ordered both. Chitosan lowers creatinine and salvia has renoprotective effects. You may want to look them up, there are studies on them.
