What I Bring


Mission
Kidney disease is a significant global health issue, impacting at least 1 in 5 adults worldwide.
The 2 Bean shaped organs are one of the most vital organs in your body, responsible for maintaining your Blood pressure, removing Toxins from blood, producing Hormones that create Red Blood Cells, and contribute to reproductive health.
Chronic Kidney Disease, which is when your kidneys are functioning less than 60% for a period of at least 3 months, is a Silent Killer.
You can only detect CKD in later stages (Stage 3+) due to lack of physical symptoms in earlier stages.
It is a progressive disease that can result in Kidney Failure (also labelled as Renal Failure), which significantly reduces your Quality of Life and can also lead to early death.
I got detected with CKD around the age of 24, quite coincidentally. Since then for the past 12 years after diagnosis I'm living with CKD without signficant deterioration in kidney function.
I am committed to a lifelong battle against CKD, learn new ways of improving kidney health or slowing down progression towards renal failure.
I know there are many individuals suffering from CKD who would benefit from correct knowledge to significantly slow down progression of the disease. And there are many who are privileged to receive correct guidance and have been fortunate to manage their CKD progression well.
This gives me energy to bring in a few things on this website:
-
Understanding of Kidneys, what they do for you
-
What is CKD - the disease, progression, management
-
Diet and Nutrition
-
Lifestyle management
-
Holistic Medicines for delaying CKD progression
-
Laboratory tests
-
Research in new areas and Hope
-
Above all, a Community that shares information.
Give me your energy in this endeavor of mine.
Get in touch with me and share.
Together we can make lives better for Millions of people worldwide.
