Happy New Year!
Long time listener, first time connecting. Excited for the new AV site!
My son Mikey is currently 11 years old. He was diagnosed with genetic FSGS when he was around 6. He lived without symptoms (beyond protein in urine) until about 9 months ago. His kidney values began dropping fairly quickly, then at Thanksgiving his numbers dropped off the table.
We brought him to the hospital and they ended up removing 1 kidney and installing port for hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Overall he’s doing well, but it’s clear he needs the dialysis. His blood pressure raises throughout the day and his urine output is declining significantly – requiring more from dialysis to remove the ultrafiltrate fluids.

Not sure if </font>coincidence<font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”> or related to change from hemo to peritoneal but his urine output has decreased </font>significantly<font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”>.</font>
Anyhow… we’re big fans of natural approach to anything we can. We had previously used Reishi mushroom, Rehmannia Glutinosa, epsom salt baths, Ginko Bilopba, Gluten free, grass fed dairy, sugar avoidance.
He is a good kid – definitely a dreamer – so we have been working with him to do more visualizations. We also were doing urine therapy for awhile (he wasn’t a huge fan, haha).
I’m an optimist. I believe that he’s progressed this far and now all his friends, his whole school, my whole work, and everyone we know is aware of his disease. I think it’s a great opportunity to prove to everyone that we can beat his failed kidneys through natural means (meditations, natural medicines, etc).
My wife is probably a match for transplant (target date early June) but we’d love to AVOID IT. At same time, the kid has a lot to deal with so I’m not wanting to give him 25 different things to do because I feel like he’ll lose traction and get none of it done.
I want him to listen to your last few episodes with Raymon Grace and Amandha Vollmer because I think he would jive with both of them and learn great stuff. I’ve also considered the Browns gas many times, but being that he’s on nightly dialysis now that seems like A LOT for a kid.
Also, our naturopath doctor also believes there is either a past life or pregnancy time connection with the Biltmore Estate in Ashville. My wife and I were there when we were pregnant with Mikey (and his twin bro). We were supposed to be there during Thanksgiving but that is when his kidneys failed. There is connection with Biltmore Estate and some of the rotten child paedo activity / sacrifice, etc. We’ve not addressed this directly with Mikey but have prayed about it and tried to get him to subconsciously surrender any of these emotions.
Do you have any suggestions for AV medicines, herbs, or any other ideas to help us heal his 1 remaining kidney and avoid the transplant (and the long list of vaccines that they’ll make him take prior to surgery)!?!
Thank you so much!
Dave
