Does anyone know what natural remedies are out there for someone on dialysis?

Question

I need to know how to clean the toxins out of my blood

Answer 1

Dialysis does something that is hard to do - it takes some things that are bad for you out of the blood but it leaves other things you need in the blood. So no, sweating or eating only certain foods cannot replace dialysis. If dialysis isn't available then inducing diarrhea is a last resort to create a bridge until you can receive dialysis.

Obviously inducing diarrhea is not a good strategy unless it was a true emergency, there is no way to tell what has been removed, in what quantity. The two things that build up that can do you the most harm is potassium and fluid. If you can't dialyze due to weather or any kind of emergency than be very careful to control potassium (think fruits, nuts) and fluid.

Here is what to do if you need dialysis during an emergency http://www.aakp.org/aakp-library/dialysis-during-an-emergency/

And here is an emergency diet sample menu for those on dialysis http://www.nwkidney.org/images/website/docs/nutrition/emergencymenus.htm

Answer 3

No. There is nothing you can take. That is the whole point of dialysis. It removes the toxins from your blood. There are no alternatives.

I hope you're on a transplant list and it happens soon.

Answer 4

You will have to stay on your dialysis until your doctor tells you otherwise. To hopefully help get to that point try L-Arginine, thiamine,B-1, alpha lipoic acid, detox herbs and anti-oxidents.
