Hey, I need help please! I know the basics of the artificial kidney machine. However, I need to know if a person still urinates or excretes feces with a dialysis machine, even though waste is already filtered out into the machine. Also, I can't find one difference between an artificial kidney machine and a real kidney? Is it that a real kidney can do much more than just filter out wastes? Thanks!!!!!

Umm yes, they do urinate and have bowel movements!
What we eat and drink is digested and the proteins enter the blood stream and eventually get filtered out by the kidney. The rest that is waste passes out normally. Kidney machine just takes out spent proteins and returns the blood, like a kidney would do. Obviously once you start removing blood from the body to a machine and through filters then back into the body, the blood reacts and it can clot. However the kidney is part of the body, so no problem.

My Doctor Told Me the depressing news - "Your Kidneys Are FAILING!"

My worsening kidney disease symptoms included:
- Nausea and vomiting and constant stomach upset
- Passing only small amounts of urine and stopping and starting while urinating
- Swelling in my ankles and lower legs
- Puffiness around my eyes with brain fog and moodiness
- Chronic fatigue and shortness of breath when exerting myself
- Loss of appetite and not wanting to eat at all
- Increasingly higher blood pressure
- Bouts of anxiety and depression
- Muscle cramps which were worse in my legs

That a friend of mine sent me a link to a website (http://NatureHomeCure.com) that helped his Mother. She was just like me, and was suffering with failing kidneys and experienced the same worries and fears I was going through. All I could do was try it and see if it worked.

Here's where the story gets a little strange. Two months later, Instead of my kidneys sliding down the slippery slope of kidney failure and getting progressively worse, they started to get better.

My Doctor could not believe how much improved my kidney function output had increased and my GFR was UP and creatinine levels lower. My kidneys were starting to work again, and removing all the toxins in my body. I got my life back!

Now, I am using this 100% all natural protocol which restored my kidney function and did it naturally, without the use of unnatural man-made pharmaceutical drugs or dialysis. In less than two months my kidneys were on the mend. Now six months later, My kidney's are back to normal again.

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.

They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!

This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.

It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.
