I meant any treatment other than dialysis or kidney transplant. Yoga, Accupressure, Ayurveda.... any option is welcome.

A product called Goji juice could help. the website below has some great success stories. It may not cure anything but it could ease some of the associated issues. on the pubmed website you have to use the name lycium barbarum.

Most likely he dose not have time to find a kidney that matches so he will have to go in for dialysis treatments. This is not the end of the world. Many people live good lives with renal failure. If he opts for renal dialysis he (unless he can afford a machine in his house if his condition is war related then the VA will foot the bill) have to have some one "transfuse him" which is doing the blood work and finding the veins and artery's and running the machine. One well trained person can do this. But if he is a candidate for peritoneal dialysis which he would have the freedom to carry a saline solution (pint size) bag that would drain into the peritoneal which is the stomach lining and filters the urine and continual drains the bag and refills with a fresh one. He also will not urinate. I hope this helps, good luck.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

You would really have to go into all her medical records from when it started and also take into consideration her medical history. If they never took any glucose levels for a patient that might need dialysis, that would be absolutely insane. Ask for all her medical records and talk to someone who can examine them and possibly give a clear picture of what exactly transpired. It seems as if something went very wrong here with one doctor sending her via life flight for emergency dialysis and then another doctor decides she needs nothing and she is dead a few days later. I think some explanations need to happen to her family in depth. If the hospital can give you no answers or will not comply, then you might want to consult an attorney who specializes in medical to find some answers for you.

i had a friend that was on dyalisis for 7 years did not have diabetes but eventually had heart problems , you do not want to try some other medication other than what the doctor is giving him cause it can lead to further complications. the only other the way the kidney problem can go away, would have to be with a
transplant but you would still have to wonder about the diabetes.
sorry if that is not exactly what you wanted to know.

there really are no alternatives in western medicine. diabetes is treated according to protocol, and chronic renal failure usually requires dialysis 2 to 3 times per week.
if you are really looking for alternative, and perhaps risky, try china, or even south america.

Sorry. No, those can only supplement his current treatment he will need dialysis for the rest of his life short of a miracle.
