This bloke has also published tomes on the cures for Hypothroidism, Hepatitis, Cirrhosis, & Fatty Liver.

He is a bloody genius.

Tell you what Stoday old sport, you send me the money and I'll buy the book and tell you how things go.

WOW, but, it is also a little hard to believe, isn't it? Did you notice near the end, he states that the program does not work as well if your GFR is less than 20%. Hmmm. Keep us posted, will you please?

if it's the cure for Australia how come 80% of his "testimonials" are from outside our country?

He comments burried in the text that it's about targeting diabetes - the "root cause" of kidney failure. Well guess what Mr Duncan Cappuccino (I'd prefer a Latte) - I don't HAVE diabetes, my kidney failure is caused by FSGS - nothing to do with diabetes. FAIL!

Also as Jean points out he comments that <GFR 20 the program won't work so well, yet in the headline examples he quotes a GFR of 9 -> 16. uh huh.

Some of the punctuation and grammar is questionable also to my way of reading.


Geez, just do a google on this guy and check it out...

thefattyliversolution.com
thehypothyroidismsolution.com
etc
etc

spare me!

when he comes up with

richardmelslovelifesolution.com then I might pony up $67.

until then... pass!!

If it worked, Web sites like IHD wouldn't exist. We'd all be cured.

Smells distinctly oily with strong, scaly overtones of snake but that's just my skeptical opinion.  I'd use the money on a massage...the aromatherapy oils smell better.

STODAY, save the $67, and do some research for yourself.  I've found that there's an abundance of information on coenzyme q10, vitamins e and b6, parsley tea and nano silver solution all over the Internet.  Some of the information has the ring of truth to it; other sources have the strong smell of bovine by-products about them. 

For example:  I read that nano-silver solution had strong antibacterial characteristics, without the side effects of conventional antibiotics.  I suspected that I had a urinary tract infection, so I started taking 2 teaspoons of silver solution twice a day.  Within a couple of days, I noticed that my volume of urine increased.  At the same time, I now only have to get 1.25-1.75 KG of fluid drawn off during dialysis runs.  Previously, I was getting 2-3.5 KG pulled off at each session.  I haven't drastically reduced my fluid intake; if anything, I've increased it.  While my urine volume has increased, my kidneys aren't filtering my urine any better; my urine is still water-clear. 

I haven't started taking any other steps ( like some of the others above), because I haven't even gotten my first disability check yet, plus, I want to switch over to home HD.  Once I get stabilized with a home routine, I'll probably see whether other alternative treatments will help.

Here's the thing:  I'm not looking for a cure; all I want to do is reduce my time on the damned dialysis-torture-machine.  Right now, I'm having to run for almost 4 and a half hours.  Due to such a long run time, I can't work, and I feel like hell after a treatment.  I'm not looking for some magical cure for my disease; however, if I can improve my condition even a little bit, I'd be happy.  I honestly believe that alternative medicine may allow me to reach this goal.

Although I'm a believer in alternative medicine, I also recognize that there are a lot get-rich scam artists and hucksters who'll pass off all kind of BS on to an unsuspecting public.  While I don't see anything wrong with a guy making an honest living, I find it contemptible that a guy thinks it's OK to charge an ESRD patient 70 bucks for an e-book (that he probably didn't write himself, but copied from somebody else).  At the same time, I'm a libertarian; as such, I don't think it's the place of any government to infringe upon the right of anybody to sell their wares--even if they make wildly ridiculous claims about the efficacy of their treatments.  Caveat emptor.  Do your research; use common-sense.  Like I tell my now-grown children: If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, then it's probably BS.

Sounds like crap to me!  If it is such a great and wonderful cure, then why is it so cheap, only about $70.00.  This person should be making millions if it was a real cure.  Look at all the money insurance companies would pay him to get people off dialysis and having transplants! 

I think it is just another SCAMMER trying to rip people off!   :Kit n Stik;

I had someone send me a message on this stuff on twitter, and I went back at them, because their "system" was the be all end all, if you had high blood pressure or diabetes, he could cure or prevent kidney disease.  I told him I had 4 kidneys that were riddled with scar tissue and asked what he could do for me.  I never heard from again

It must work.  The website says "100 percent guaranteed solution".
