In kindle Book your 2nd food book is uploaded twice. This book cover page is shown but inside its second book. Please update it ASAP.

This is a meal planning book from the same author. The title and the contents are not matching. The US amazon site has the correct title and contents for the same book. I wonder whose mistake is this?

I am in stage 3 of CKD, Bought this book couple of weeks ago, reading through half way so far ,all facts about CKD are backed by medical research and evidences , except some of the medical terminologies and research notes, which are difficult to understand by a common reader ,this book is very well written and compiled, anybody with concerns about kidneys health or CKD ,this book is a must to read,I highly appreciate and recommend.

Hi everyone! -- I have been a type 2 diabetic for 25 years now, following the ADA recommendations regarding post-meal target goals and diet, which focused primarily on low-to-moderate GI food values, and allowed lean white meats, fish, supposedly healthy grains, some dairy and modest fruit intake, with an A1c target of 7.0% -- In retrospect, BIG mistake! Two months ago, my GP down here in Costa Rica -- I'm 73 and have been retired down here for just about 8 years now -- tells me off-handedly in Spanish -- NO details! -- that I have kidney disease and need to see a specialist in mid-November, 2019! I was STUNNED! The next day, after panicking a bit, I saw Lee's book and have read it 3 times since then, even though parts of it are full of somewhat torturous, medical gobbledegook. Thank goodness for my Chemistry Minor, Calculus and Statistics classes 50 years ago! Based on Lee's action plan at the end of the book, I decided to try a strict Vegan diet, with emphasis on the PRAL, alkaline food values along with plant protein to give my kidneys a reduced urea nitrogen load, increase my albumin, and eGFR -- currently 43 = stage 3b kidney disease -- while lowering my relatively high BUN level -- 24 -- and creatinine -- 1.65 -- as well. So far, I can only say VERY positively that I have lost 13 lbs/6 kilos -- BMI now 21, down from 23 -- I'm one of those statistically atypical "thin" type 2 diabetics -- no longer suffer painful diabetic neuropathy in my feet or hands, have increased my chronic inability to sleep at any given stretch from 3 1/2 hours max to 6 hours -- this alone has been well worth the effort! -- and I am projecting an A1c in the high 5's or lower 6's, down from 7.2% last July. Since I have been very strict with the diet -- mostly raw food, no meat, no fish, no dairy, no grains, rice, bread, cookies, sweets, apple strudel, fried food, diet colas or liquor, etc -- I have never smoked -- I feel cautiously optomistic that the renal numbers will improve as well in October! I elected to try things at first WITHOUT Albutrux, partially to see how effective the dietary intervention would be by itself, partially due to the cost of Albutrix, plus the lack of independent, critical scientific reviews on the Internet about the product, where and by whom it is produced. In my opinion Lee has done an anazing amount of valuable research -- God bless him for it! -- but I feel he could be a but more transparent about the provenance of his product, especially after his well-taken, cautionary chapter on the foibles and downright fraud in the nutitional supplement industry! I reason that I can always try it as a next step refinement, if needed, in the next cycle or so. Other people seem to be reporting what look like very good anecdotal results on Lee's website.The only speed bump? Dizziness and falling 3 times because my blood pressure went from borderline HIGH to clinically LOW due to Glibencamide and a B 12 vitamin deficiency, probably caused by the diet and Metformin. I quickly resolved it by immediately stopping the Glibencamide -- known to cause dizziness, although my young GP didn't seem to know that! -- and taking a B 12 oral supplement once a day. I will give a renal update around October 25th! -- ¡Pura Vida! -- Jerry Ahearn. ---------------------------------------------- UPDATE: Sept. 25, 2919 -- Hi everyone! -- Today is exactly 2 months since I bought Lee's book and formulated a "full court press" Vegan dietary action plan following his recommendations. I would say that I was 95% compliant with my goals during this period. NOT easy at times, but definitely doable. My curiosity finally got the best of me this morning-- I couldn't wait another month for my subsidized, goverment-administrated lab tests -- so I went to a private lab for a creatinine test and my eGFR has now IMPROVED from 42% to 52%, so I am now only stage 3a and hope to KEEP improving during the next cycle! What a relief! -- And, according to the eGFR calculator on the Internet provided by the National Kidney Foundation, my kidney function would have risen to 54% if I had not lost 13 lbs, but I'm not going to complain. The program seems to WORK!! -- Since I intend to have this test done privately each month out-of-pocket, I'll try to give another update next month!☺

I bought it for a relative who has CKD. I read it and found the book is very inspiring and useful. it covers practically all the aspects of the disease and helps to understand all the challenges. It contains many important research information and provides new ideas and practical solutions to keep the disease under control. It also helps to avoid some serious mistakes. so it is very helpful.

This book is a goldmine of information. Like Lee, my doctors told me to carry on as I was when I was told I had stage 3 CKD. Like most people I wasn’t content with this, and the zero information I was given. I researched, But the more I read, the more confused I was. As I have type 2 diabetes I was especially confused, as I seemed I shouldn’t eat white or brown bread! So I gave up and decided to get on with my life, eating what I wanted with care checking the ingredients. Reading Lee’s book week by week online has given me a sense of direction, and the reassuring knowledge that I was not alone in feeling that doctors don’t have a clue - don’t need to do anything until you’re stage 4? I have a few ideas for the way forward now, so I am excited that the book is now available in a traditional format that I can pull these threads together and start on a plan. Thank you Lee for what you have done. You have written about something incredibly complex in a most readable and understandable way, a remarkable achievement!

To cut down on shipping costs, I purchased the two books written by Lee Hull (the Food Guide and Stopping Kidney Disease). I immediately skimmed the pages and discovered a wealth of knowledge. This is a large book appropriate for both individuals with healthy kidneys and those who would like to learn more about CKD. The Food Guide includes illustrations, and Lee Hull offers recipes tailored for those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). You can adjust some of the components to fit your needs if you have diabetes, liver, or heart problems. The two books are providing you just enough advantage in your CKD journey; read with an open mind and remember that there is no one rule that fits all.
