It's typically caused by eating cereal grains, bread, pasta, sugar, and similar refined carbohydrates, especially when they're mixed with vegetable oils as in fried corn chips, french fries, breakfast cereal, crackers, etc. These foods increase your blood volume because glucose binds to water molecules and it causes high blood pressure which damages the kidneys. It's scandalous the AMA doesn't address this issue. Medical doctors are generally discouraged or even forbidden from discussing dietary issues with patients. Listen to youtube lectures about the "LCHF diet". This has become a huge issue in recent years. People with this disease do have elevated blood cholesterol but that's caused by hyperinsulinemia, the body's response to a high carbohydrate diet. When patients full-stop carbs they piss out a gallon or two and this lowers their blood volume rapidly decreasing blood pressure to near normal levels. This disease is easily reversible by dietary changes, and dietary changes are far more effective than drugs.

Many diseases can be reversed with this same advice. What's sick is when doctors won't mention it to patients and our society tells people that they aren't sustainable diets. But eating yourself to death is totally sustainable.

Diabetes can be reversed by following the Newcastle diet.

I have to eat rice, as I'm gluten sensitive. I eat rice daily. Rice doesn't give you high blood pressure.

Anon - I can tell you as a man who goes low/no carbs every time I hit 225lbs until I get down to 185-190....

I've taken physicals hung over, hours after eating a plate of bacon and sausage and an energy drink. I was supposed to fast since the night before. My blood pressure couldn't be more perfect. Out of over a hundred people, the nurse made a point to say my cholesterol ratio (Good/Bad) was probably the best one she'd seen. Glucose levels were 2x better than "Target". I was, on paper, the healthiest person there (or at least in the conversation).

That was after drinking 15-20 drinks (Whiskey/Diet Coke) until 3am, waking up at 7 and eating a pile of greasy salty meat, and doing the testing at 10am or so.

I'd cut the rice and try a true low/now carb diet for a while, just so you can feel the difference. Once used to it, you can usually get by eating once a day with some snacking here and there. The thing is though, you never feel "Starving", but you also can eat a 2 pound steak and a salad with eggs, bacon, cheese, and ranch dressing, and you won't have the "Bloated, can't move" food coma that comes after a normal bowl of pasta and 3 pieces of bread.

I heard it's great for your teeth and a shitload of other side benefits as well.

People should try some variant of this diet (Atkins/Keto, etc.) and see how they feel after two weeks of honestly following it. Especially using only organic raw ingredients (meat and vegetables). You will be surprised how much lagging and mental fog you thought was getting old was just your diet of US government subsidized, RoundUp tainted grains poisoning you.

Are they saying that her kidney failure was directly related to that drug? There's a thousand and one reasons why kidneys can fail. I'm sorry, you lost your mother. I lost mine too.

Healthy until last years blood test came back with elevated cholesterol. Doctor pushed atrovastatin. Went downhill from there.

I'm really sorry. My mom was killed in a auto accident when she was 46. It will be hard for a while but but just remind yourself that you'll feel better in time.

The stuff they give people for cholesterol is so much worse for them than just having moderately elevated cholesterol. Plus cholesterol itself is not bad for you, its a secondary byproduct of the true problem which is diet. Cholesterol is the repair molecule and janitor of your body and its production is increased when your body responds to illness, stress or injury.

The drugs they give you wreak havoc on your kidneys and liver. The mentality is like putting people on chemo for things like food poinsoning.

Sorry to hear that man. That being said, kidney failure is not a commonly associated complication with Lipitor (liver failure is). Lipitor is (or was) the most commonly prescribed medicine in the US...and is in most cases, is handled without any problems other than muscle weakness and/or elevated liver enzymes.

But you are correct, in saying that exercise is an alternative to the medicine.

Been on my latest keto diet for 2 weeks and woke up hung over today. Saw orange juice and it looked so cold, wet, and refreshing I said to hell with it today's a cheat day.

Chugged a half gallon and ate 2 twice baked potatoes I picked up, because cheat day. 20 minutes later, I pissed out my ass. It was an obscene amount.

70+% of the calories in steel cut oats is from carbohydrates. That's not healthy.

You do, I'm not arguing that but you also need vegetables in your diet. Leafy greens are a great fiber source and they can be eaten at any time. Most LDL cholesterols bind to that fiber and then you pass it. Same with oatmeal
