Hi Mom2375,
I'm sorry I am not aware this book or its author. However, I must caution you about the use of herbal supplements in CKD which are considered unsafe to use. Here is an extract from the Kidney Research UK website about 'Medicines to avoid in CKD' including herbal remedies: kidneyresearchuk.org/health...?
'Homeopathic medicines are safe in renal impairment but herbal and ayurvedic medicine should be avoided.
A number of herbal remedies can increase blood pressure and so are unsuitable for use in people with renal disease. Herbal remedies can interact with conventional medicines, for example, St. Johns Wort with cyclosporin (Neoral ®). Herbal remedies vary in the amount of active constituent they contain and the effect may differ a great deal from one batch to another. Until more is known about the effects of herbal medicines in kidney disease they cannot be recommended.'
Please stay safe. If you have any specific questions like this, do go back to your nephrologist as he/she are best placed to answer your queries.
Best wishes,
MAS Nurse and Moderator
