Great book if you or a loved one needs to pay diligent attention to kidney health and optimize function outside of doctors. Doctors want to prescribe drugs not get into the weeds with what you can and should do on your own. Good doctors should do both! This book is fairly priced with critical info and no ‘filler’ just to hit page counts.
University Doc –
I already own a full copy of the full edition of this book. (See my review on amazon) This is also a great book, but it is condensed down in laymen’s easy to understand wording and smaller in size. As a person with CKD I can only say that this book is an invaluable resource to share with your family, friends and physicians. Not as thorough as the full version with tests, etc. but complete. Highly recommend.

purchased for my daughter and was amazed the information plus its updated information and finally a book on kidney disease that doesnt coat a fortune
Amazon Customer –
This is the first book that the information is easy to follow. As I read the book I could not put it down. Plus I began to implement the many suggestions. Getting ready to get my blood and urine test. I am expecting great news. Great book. I recommend it for all people with kidney disease.
He talked about the trifecta. It is so true. There are three factors I must look at. I recommend this book for anyone with kidney disease.

Mwah. Many years of a vegetarian/plant-based lifestyle have turned out to be very costly to my health, and my kidneys are actually improving on the opposite lifestyle (meat-based, high fat). If you’re coming from the SAD (Standard American/Australian Diet) and now finally start cleaning up your food, yes, you will see an overall improvement all over the spectrum. However, if you’re already eating clean (cooking from scratch, fresh whole foods only, no sugar, no seed oils), I’m not convinced that the advice given in this book will, indeed, give the promised results. I wouldn’t say I like the style it’s written in, but that’s personal, and the push of the products is a big con for me. I read it but regret buying it.
The Rebecca Review –
As someone who started my Chronic Kidney Disease journey in 2015 with a GFR of 57, which is stage 3, I have been all the way down to a GFR of 42 and recently as high as 68. Currently I am at a GFR of 58 and I’m doing fairly well. But the fact that I dropped 10 points has me concerned again. So I decided to get this book and read it from cover to cover to find out what else I can do to get my GFR to go up again. I assume I may just be eating too much protein again.
After reading this book I realize I’ve defied the odds and am still alive nearly ten years later. I read one of Lee Hull’s books back in 2019 and am now getting his cookbook as well. This fairly new book from 2022 has lots of patient success stories! Lee Hull always complies very organized and useful books and this book is for patients who want to try a complete program for early intervention and getting their GFR back up to a reasonable level so they can feel healthier.
The author himself had his kidney disease go into remission after using the program described in this book and changing his eating habits. Some of the things this book discusses include:
How to reduce uremic itching?
Should you take sodium bicarbonate?
How can you prevent malnutrition while on a low-protein diet?
Why should you worry about vascular calcification?
Should you worry about getting too many vitamins and minerals?
This book makes a convincing case for the author’s program. He also provides the most up-to-date information. This book will introduce you to the program but you should also go ahead and get “Stopping Kidney Disease (2019) and Stopping Kidney Disease Food Guide (2019) like I did! These three books seem to work together.
Other books I’ve found helpful for kidney disease include:
Staying Health with Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease by the Medical Education Institute
Save Your Kidneys by Dr. Edgar Lerma and Dr. Sanjay Pandya
I am not a doctor, nor is this review medical advice but I believe Acacia fiber has helped me the most. I take one tablespoon in my coffee each morning. If my GFR can go from 42 to 68 because I started doing that and taking a kidney supplement, then I think there is hope. I have been taking Snap Kidney Health Support for a long time but recently I stopped taking it and am now taking it again. I also have been taking CALM magnesium. But those three things have helped me for a long time. Now I’m considering more options.
Lee Hull believes kidney disease is a disease of excess. So if your GFR is falling you have to get all the information you can handle really fast! This book seems very helpful and wise. I’m happy I read it and will now look into more recipes and food suggestions in his cookbook. If information has kept me alive for almost ten years, I think there is hope!!!! Don’t give up and keep reading! I’m going to research this program more and consider it in the near future.

Great information and recommendations.
Diane Blevins –
It was a good book that explains information about kidney disease and if you read it, follow a kidney friendly diet and also read some of the useful information about kidney disease on the internet, it will help you live with kidney disease.

Education resource on kidney disease

If you have not done any research on reversing kidney disease then this book will have revelations for you. However it is repetitive and the author is plugging his supplement product and program. I am not saying that the product is not good. I learned why ketoanalogues are useful to repairing the kidneys. However dedicating entire chapters to it is unnecessary. You are better off buying the cookbook as a starter guide. If you still need more then consider this book or the other one. Check out Plant Powered Kidneys website and you will get alot of this information and additional information and recipes. Dadvice on youtube is also a great resource for those looking to avoid dialysis.
On a side note I emailed their support to ask about using quorn and other meat substitutes. I received 3 word responses. Not very helpful.

I ordered the first Stopping Kidney Disease Book and was really overwhelmed with trying to retain all the information plus know how to incorporate it into my life. I thought many times that I wish there was condensed or simplified how to version. I must have not been the only one to feel that way cause this book was written. Oh so much easier to retain the information because it is very understandable and makes so much sense. Thank you!

I was (mistakeninly) diagnosed with stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease or CKD3. I panicked and looked for solutions to slowing or reversing the disease. I came across this book and its companion book, Stopping Kidney Disease Food Guide. I devoured both books then started the plan laid out in the book. After a week of unsatisfying meals, I sat down with my daughter, whom I live with, to discuss my options. With the genes I was blessed with, at age 73, I have a good 10-12 years ahead of me. She pointed out that after a lifetime of caring for others and living a good full life, I deserved to be happy and fulfilled during the rest of my life. We agreed to modifying my eating habits considerably, but not to deprive myself so much that I would not look forward to those remaining years. I made changes in my salt and protein consumption and cut out high potassium foods. My diet is much easier to follow and I can still have an occasional ice cream cone or dinner out without feeling I am not taking care of my health, and therefore feeling guilty.
This eating plan is great for people who can stick to it. I think if there is family history of kidney disease with dialysis, that this might be something to consider. My CKD ( which has been now diagnosed as stage 2) is a result of decades of chronic pain treatment from a back injury. I use CBD now and a spinal cord stimulator to control my pain, so I no longer need opioid or NSAIDS.
I appreciate the information in these books and the years of research behind them. But I have found a way that is working for me.

This book was delivered quickly, and upon opening and reviewing the book, I have found the information relating to my diagnosis of CKD hopeful and encouraging. My primary doctor offers no information on what nor how I can lessen the progress of CKD. While I am aware there’s no cure, but there seems to be a way to lessen the disease progression.
