Title: Researcher Shares Info on Dietary Means to Slow the Progression of PKD
Post by: EndPKD on March 04, 2012, 07:15:16 PM
Award-winning nutritional scientist Bruce Holub (Professor Emeritus, University of Guelph) will talk about past and present research on slowing the progression of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) via dietary means. His presentation in the Juravinski Tower at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton on March 10 will be followed by a question and answer session.

“Professor Holub’s topic – Dietary Retardation of the Progression of PKD – is very exciting for Polycystic Kidney Disease patients who want to know if modifying what they eat and drink can make a difference in prolonging the quality of their affected organs,” said Jeff Robertson, Executive Director of the PKD Foundation of Canada.

The Hamilton Chapter of the PKD Foundation of Canada offers 2-hour public educational meetings free of charge. More information is available on the website.
