Not only do plant-based diets appear to prevent kidney function decline, they may also be used to treat kidney failure. Even at the same protein loads, the body is able to better handle phosphorus excretion from plant-based diets, reducing the risk of metastatic calcification.
Treating Kidney Failure Through Diet
Doctor's Note
This is the second video of a two-part series about the latest discoveries on kidney function and food. See also Preventing Kidney Failure Through Diet. This is another reason why I find Plant Protein Preferable. Food is, after all, a package deal, as shown in Safest Source of B12. In addition, plant-based diets can help prevent and treat multiple diseases—see, for example, my videos How to Prevent Diabetes and How to Treat Diabetes; Preventing COPD With Diet and Treating COPD With Diet; Preventing Arthritis and Diet & Rheumatoid Arthritis; Best Fruits For Cancer Prevention and Cancer Reversal Through Diet?; Heart Attacks and Cholesterol: Purely a Question of Diet, and my blog post Heart disease: there is a cure. Also see my video on obesity, Thousands of Vegans Studied. Why don’t more providers in the medical community embrace plant-based diets? See my video, The Tomato Effect.
