Fasting = healing
@@tomlagesse6635 so true my psoriasis
Itโs fundamentally true. Your body works on a balanced principle of growth and repair. Eating is working, fasting is repairing.
Fasting and keto has improved my kidney function from 36 gfr to 52 gfr
what you eat please tell me and timing
Thank you for sharing your beautiful progress toward health. Beautiful
Taurine significantly increases estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 3 or greater when normalized to baseline values by the sixth month of treatment, and continues to improve significantly for up to 2.25 years.
Thank you so very much for the knowledge. I have followed you for 3 years now. I am 51 yrs old .I got PKD and I fasting , my kidneys function is normal. I restrict carbohydrates and protein. I do exercise too
Thank you Dr Fung
This is the first shred of hope I have had for my medullary polycystic kidney disease!!! Thank you!!!
Do not lose hope, the body is strong. Nature knows what to do. Trust yourself.
The proper human diet is fasting and carnivore.
Hi I have multiple polychystic kidney as well , I fasting 15hours almost everyday
Wow. Iโm fasting and doing a keto gluten
diet 
for my inflammation and my gluten allergy. Thanks 
.
@@loricannon2988 I have psoriasis & switching to a low carb super clean zero processed food diet with fasting has changed my life. Results were amazing. Off all treatments now just fasting & eating a low carb healthy diet to keep things under control.
Some people are saying fasting is bad. Paul Saladino is saying it may cause fat to get into the heart. I donโt think so. I will continue fasting.
Iโve been doing 16:8 IF since 2018. I am 61 and my cholesterol and triglycerides are low on my blood tests. So, no IF does not cause issues with fat deposits in the arteries. The reason I am here is because my kidney function numbers went up. eFGR and creatinine went out of normal range. I think it was from too much coffee and sugar and tea and not enough plain water. I am getting another blood test in 2 weeks to see if it improved.
Paul is an obsessive compulsive who goes from one obsession to another. I donโt trust him any longer. Each obsession is followed by how convinced he is that โthis is the wayโ.
There is ALWAYS someone with a problem to a solutionโฆ
Fasting may or may not be good for youโฆ but Iโd rather give credibility to a more objective nephrologist like Dr. Fung than a wishy washy board certified psychiatrist like Paul.
@@SeoulMan2020Saladino is a board certified MD, just for the record and not a chiropractor.
I love you Doc. Thank you so much . I need to Reverse cataract.
Got your books, watch your videos, been fasting now for several yearsโฆ works wonders. Thanks Doc
Iโve got one kidney my Createn levels while no cause for concern has improved & my psoriasis has almost disappeared by intermittent fasting & eating a super clean low carb diet. My dermatologist recommended this way of life & it just worked
Wow! Good dermatologist.
Great. Please share your protein sources if you dont mindโฆ
@@Tirelesswarrior I eat all Meats, eggs & cheese with some nuts chea seeds apart from that tons of low carb veg. I donโt eat bread or patatos anymore but eat celeriac mash as its a low carb alternative. I eat zero processed foods now as its full of sugar & additives so just make all my food from scratch.
@@jamesdellaneve9005 yes he is good took 9 weeks to see a massive difference in my skin. Off all treatments now & just maintain everything through diet. Recommending Jasonโs methods has been a game changer. I donโt eat any processed foods anymore cook everything from scratch but just eat a super healthy low carb diet. 9 weeks ago my skin was awful today Iโm in a great place & 2 stones lighter but never hungry from fasting my body is just used to it now
Iโve been struggling going on longer fast again cause I was on a heavy Carnivore diet. Switched to a more normal diet allowed me to fast longer, days longer. Thanks for the mTor info Doc, that was prohibiting me from fasting. Now I have to be conscience of mTor and Insulin now.
Last spring while doing carnivore my kidney function in my annual blood work came down sharply. A month later I increased my water intake and did more fasting and the kidney function showed higher than it has been in 17 years.
Could be because of carbs and sugar. Thatโs what I think happened to me. I was also drinking waaaay too much coffee and tea during the day plus other drinks that were not water.
@ I was carnivore the whole time. I suspect the down turn was a virus. But upturn was a 17 year record.
I knew it!! This is such great news. Iโm caregiver for my 71 year old brother who is disabled and my 96 year old mother in our home. Both have stage three CKD. Both have been stable and are doing very well. I have been applying some of the information I have learned from you; your books, lectures etc. that helped me lose 160lbs and reversed ALL my health issues. Iโm 61 and been maintaining well. I still fast often to maintain and eat a very clean, LCHF keto/ ketovore diet.
. With my family, I stick mostly to real, low carb foods and feed later breakfasts and earlier dinners. Thank you for all you do.
Dr. Fung!!! A Health Warrior !

This is the first time Ive heard Dr Fung refer to other kidney diseases that arenโt diabetic related.
Thank you.
