Hello Everyone,

My mom had a kidney transplant back in 2006. Everything is going great for her which we are thankful for. smilewinkgrin My question is, are there members on this forum who use alternative methods instead of mainstream after having a kidney transplant, or, does anyone know if there are any natural alternatives to the medication that she is currently taking. She takes cellcept (250mg 2x a day) and prograff (2mg 2x a day). When I say natural I mean homeopathic, etc .

Thank you, 

doomsday prepper

After kidney transplant you feel weakness and in this condition you should use anti rejection drug and besides that diet management is also required.

Hey Prepper. Im not sure if you are still a member and will get this but maybe i can help. I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, in 2012. Its never really a good time but hat was especially a bad time for me.My kids had all grown up gotten married so i finally felt i had time to enjoy life. Then my checkups started to worry be. My GFR started dropping really fast by the time i found out i was +68. Lucky for me it was caught really early so i had a good chance to avoid surgery. I looked around for some alternatives and found allogenic stem cell therapy. http://stemcellthailand.org/services-list/stem-cell-treatment-kidney-failure-renal-failure/
To make a long story short i had to go to Thailand for a 3 week treatment course. It took about 4 months for my creatine and lab results to improve my test result to triple digits (+105). My Microalbumin and CCr and Hb are also getting in normal range. I didn't know much about stem cells but there is plenty of research online that you can read up on. The biggest downside is that the treatment is not covered by my insurance so it was expensive but i feel great and thats really all that matters.

Maggiemarsh. I am very interested in learning more about your stem cell treatment. If you could share more about it that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
