I really do sympathize with you. Look further to another doctor. Do NOT accept any offers from the internet.
If I were in your shoes, and chemo may put me there, I would look for a CURRENTLY LICENSED MD who incorporates alternative medicines into the overall treatment.
Most of those alternatives proposed on the internet prey on people's fears. Many of the doctors that recommend them are either veterinarians or doctors who have had their licenses revoked.
But this is not to take away any hope of avoiding dialysis. When I was evacuated from a hurricane, I was moved to a facility where half the patients were on dialysis, and I sympathize with their and your feelings. Perhaps a kidney match can be found for you soon.
There is a possibility for alternative medicine, but MAKE SURE you find a CURRENTLY LICENSED MD who has been having success with these treatments.
Good luck to you

I like all products from the Himalaya Health Company.
http://www.himalayahealthcare.com and they have one medinine called Renalka, Ingredients are triculis terristris, cretaeva magna, Hemidesmus indicus, Cyperus rotundus, Vetiveria zizaniodes, Asparagus racemosus, Trikatu, Elettaria cardomum and Kshara parpati..
I am not entirely joking when I say just saying the names of the plants may help..The products won't harm and support the renal funtiona at least. I also would try parsley juiced with water...
Love

Acute renal failure means that your kidneys have stopped working. dialysis every other day is the only way to remove the waste products. If you don't have dialysis, you'll be dead in 5 days.

Try Reiki. It by nature can do no harm. It is wonderfully relaxing and heals on all four levels; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It can provide peace and calming during a health crisis.
