Why my kidneys don’t suffer anymore (the baby steps I took to address my CKD)
Case study: Christopher Kenneth
September 21, 2025
I used to believe that once a person had chronic kidney issues then that was it… they were pretty much stuck for life.
I thought there was not much that could be done – except tweak it as best as possible and hope to goodness that it didn’t get worse.
Most sufferers hear the same advice.
I really believed it too.
But I don’t any more.
Because of something my doctor showed me I now know there’s an awful lot that can be done to manage serious kidney afflictions – and what can be done turned out to be literally life-changing.
CKD isn’t a life-sentence
I was diagnosed with CKD – an ongoing, apparently untreatable disease of the kidneys – just over 2 years ago.
My doctor explained that there is a number of reasons why people get such kidney problems. But it was always caused by something else that was already going wrong in the body.
Diabetes, heart disease, various cardiovascular diseases, being very overweight and so on. They can all cause our kidneys to struggle and, eventually, fail.
High blood pressure was the cause of my ongoing kidney illness.
Another person’s kidney disorder may well have a different cause. But the result is the same.
My doctor told me that illnesses like this can’t be tackled directly. Instead, doctors address the diseases that cause it in the first place.
Which, for me, meant tackling my blood pressure problem.
It might be a different fight for you depending on what’s causing your own kidney problems.
But whatever the cause, the strategy is the same: alleviate the problems of the kidney ailment itself while addressing the underlying disease that is causing it in the first place.
Unfortunately, using standard methods most forms of ongoing kidney illness can – and often do – get progressively worse. As it gets worse it becomes a significantly more threatening disease.
There was no way I could just accept that. No way.
Fortunately, I didn’t have to accept it. I did something else instead.
Which has meant that these days I can’t remember what my kidney affliction even feels like anymore.
But before I jump ahead of myself, let me make this important point.
Ongoing Kidney Illness – the 5 stages
My doctor taught me something very worrying about CKD.
The disease has 5 stages. Stage 1 is the mildest.
Stage 5 is as serious as it gets.
Stage 5 can shorten a person’s life by many, many years.
Nobody wants to reach stage 5.
A slippery slope to stage 5
My illness was at stage 3 when it was discovered. Most of us only discover we’re ill when it’s already well underway.
The danger here is that ailing kidneys get progressively worse. Doctors find it very difficult to halt its progress into stages 4 and then 5.
At stage 5 a person is plugged into a dialysis machine. They hope and pray for a suitable kidney donor so they can squeeze some more years out of life… before finally succumbing.
Well, no thanks.
Dialysis machines and kidney transplants were not for me.
I didn’t care that other people coped with being strapped to a dialysis machine for hours on end four or five times a week.
That’s them. It’s not me.
And I didn’t care that, for people lucky enough to find kidney donors, better transplant techniques meant that they weren’t dying so quickly afterwards.
As far as I was concerned… once a person reaches the kidney dialysis machines and transplant stage their days are numbered.
Again: no thanks.
I had – and still have – many years of life ahead of me.
And I wanted those years to be healthy, happy, enjoyable.
Not ill, diseased… watching my clock run down.
This wasn’t the life I wanted
I felt very low, to be honest.
My doctor gave me the standard spiel: we can handle the symptoms, we can try to address underlying causes… with the right meds I could lead a fairly normal life. And so on.
I told him this wasn’t good enough. I didn’t want my life cut short with a disease that – at least officially – had no way of being reversed.
I didn’t want to watch myself deteriorate week by week. I didn’t want to be plugged into a dialysis machine. I didn’t want a transplant.
And I didn’t want to die early.
I was very upset. I didn’t know what to do next.
But I didn’t want to just do nothing.
There is an alternative – and it’s proven
I’ve known my doctor since college. He’s a trusted friend. He told me to come back at the end of the day and we could go for a coffee and a chat.
He had something important to tell me.
Well, what my doctor told me that afternoon was jaw-dropping.
He described how he’d witnessed five of his own patients treat their ongoing, gradually worsening kidney issues to the point that they now experienced none of its symptoms.
Here’s the thing: they had first treated the underlying cause – the condition that gave rise to their allegedly untreatable kidney condition in the first place. That had led to the melting away of both that condition’s symptoms and their kidney illness symptoms.
Which was staggering. We’re talking about diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, obesity here…
He wouldn’t claim they no longer had the disease – professionally he’s not allowed to say that yet. Tests are still taking place, official verification is required – that takes years to complete.
But when one of his own patients attempted an alternative health approach to his serious kidney problems… and by all measures, succeeded… my doctor couldn’t ignore that.
The effects weren’t temporary – they lasted.
My doctor explained that conventional medicine was still testing these new remedies. But ordinary people had jumped straight in and had been applying them for some years.
No drugs, no hospitals… and the results were fantastic.
I was excited and nervous when I heard this. But everything we discussed that day I went on to prove to myself.
CKD: the inside story
But before I jump ahead of myself let me reveal what else my doctor told me.
We’ve always known that ongoing kidney illnesses are caused by other conditions: diabetes, high blood pressure, heart conditions, too much excess weight and so on.
So it makes sense to tackle those conditions first.
Doctors tackle those conditions either by significantly reducing their effect on our bodies… or by successfully reversing them completely.
This much has been well understood for a long time.
We also know another vital element of the story: that the conditions I listed above – diabetes, high blood pressure and so on – are often the result of low-level, ongoing inflammation in the body.
Those conditions are either made worse by this ongoing inflammation – or, more often, are directly caused by it.
Finally, we’re well aware that the inflammation itself is mostly caused by a faulty immune system.
In other words, our immune system is being triggered way too often.
Which leads to ongoing inflammation… which in turn overwhelms our bodies and creates damage throughout.
The pathway to disease
So… a faulty immune system… leads to widespread inflammation… which leads to one or more of the diseases mentioned. Which leads to the full range of kidney disorders.
This is the pathway to disease.
But what causes the faulty, malfunctioning immune system in the first place?
What’s that initial trigger that sets off the whole thing?
That has always been a mystery. Yet if doctors could find out how to stop the immune system from malfunctioning then the inflammation, the underlying disease and the chronic problems with the kidneys… all goes away.
And now we know…
In the last few years scientists finally found out.
The immune system malfunction that causes ongoing, seemingly untreatable kidney problems comes from problems in the gut.
Yes, the gut.
We now realize that, incredibly, most of the western world’s major killer diseases begin in our guts.
This one insight has changed forever how scientists now tackle disease.
And this isn’t theory, by the way. It’s not guesswork.
It’s heavily researched, scientific knowledge.
The details are straightforward
When we’re talking about the gut we’re not talking about bloating or stomach ache or anything like that.
We’re talking about the fascinating environment within the intestinal tract.
That environment – also called the microbiome – contains trillions of fantastically useful bacteria.
We’re used to thinking of bacteria as being harmful. But over 90% of the bacteria in a healthy gut perform functions that keep us alive.
They do things for us that our body itself simply cannot do.
When healthy gut bacteria dominate our guts – and unhealthy gut bacteria are kept to a minimum – we are at our healthiest and happiest.
When this balance is disturbed we get ill. If it’s disturbed for long enough, we get very ill.
Here are just a few functions gut bacteria carry out for us:
- They directly affect on our moods and emotions
- They manage our growth from childhood, to adulthood, to old age
- They strongly regulate our weight (food cravings come from bad gut bacteria, not greed!)
- They eliminate toxins that our body cannot handle, preventing an overwhelm of blood poisons
- They extract essential, life-preserving vitamins from food that our body simply cannot access – and which we can’t survive without
Good bacteria literally keeps us alive. So we need it to be in the best shape possible.
Why? What does poor gut health mean?
If the number of good bacteria are reducing then bad bacteria gain an upper-hand in the gut.
Given enough time the damage they cause to the body can be bad, then severe – then fatal.
Conditions that are directly linked to poor gut health include:
|
diabetes liver disease cardiovascular disease some cancers gout high blood pressure celiac disease |
heart disease kidney disease arthritis thyroiditis psoriasis irritable bowel disease |
Recognize anything on this list?
If you have even one of these then your gut health either has a major hand in it or – in most cases – your gut health is the actual cause of it.
Remember the pathway to disease we mentioned a moment ago? We understand that pathway now:
Poor gut health leads to immune system malfunction… which leads to low-level inflammation… which leads to one or more of the above diseases. Which then leads to ongoing – and worsening – kidney problems.
The chance to turn it all around
Get those gut bacteria healthy and everything that was going wrong – including serious kidney illness – starts going right again.
But what causes our guts to become unhealthy?
There’s no doubt at all about the causes: it’s our lifestyle choices.
‘Lifestyle’ simply refers to the usual suspects: stress, sleep, fitness and diet.
Which, at first sight, all seems pretty bland and dull. We’ve heard all this before.
But now it’s very different. Because now scientists understand the direct link between what we do… and how we get disease.
Poor lifestyle habits slowly ruin our gut health. They decimate good bacteria – allowing bad bacteria to thrive and expand their deadly effects.
Our gut environment becomes less helpful to us… and steadily more deadly.
Which makes it inevitable that, in time, we will end up either very ill or fatally ill.
The damage that bad habits do to our gut bacteria is almost the entire reason we are tired, ill, overweight, suffer low moods and struggle as we get older.
We say it’s ‘age’ that causes disease. That’s absolute nonsense.
It’s the slow and steady neglect of our gut health that causes disease. We do it to ourselves. We don’t mean to. But it’s what we do.
Poor lifestyle habits are the primary reason (for millions of us, they’re the only reason) we contract western society’s worst diseases – heart, blood, liver, kidney…
Our basic lifestyle habits directly and dramatically determine whether we’ll be ill at all.
And if we will be ill those habits determine which illnesses we’ll get – and how they will play out over the long-term.
The good news is…
Take heart though. This knowledge is, literally, life-saving.
We’ve now discovered at the deepest level why we get ill.
Which means we can get well again.
Simple, specific changes to some daily habits are now ridding people of a whole array of horrible conditions.
There is a right way of doing this, of course. It’s not simply a matter of ‘eating healthily’ (whatever that means) or ‘getting more exercise’ (which not all sufferers are able to do).
When someone is so ill that their kidneys are starting to fail then correcting specific lifestyle habits can change their life.
Done properly, it can save their life.
Beware though that the standard advice we see in magazines or on popular websites isn’t right for people with diagnosed kidney issues.
We have a specific condition and that requires new and very specific action. It’s easier than most people believe – but it has to be right.
More powerful than medicine
Correcting these lifestyle factors properly can be literally transforming – more powerful than medications and even more life-improving than surgery.
But diet – what we eat and what we drink – is the kingpin of disease.
It’s the supreme dictator of how we’re going to suffer as we grow older – or even if we’re going to suffer at all.
You can eat your way back to healthy gut bacteria – and, therefore, full vibrant health.
There are many, many foods that we can eat unlimited amounts of.
Including – happily – a number of foods that ‘fad diets’ tell us not to touch.
Everything we need to eat can be bought at a local supermarket. Half of it is possibly already in your kitchen.
Essentially though we must eat enough of the right things in the right quantities. Do that and everything else falls beautifully into place.
Back to the future
I thought sleep and stress and fitness and diet were just things that other people paid attention to. I was sensible enough to not eat like a pig.
And I didn’t think I was suffering stress any more than the average person was. All life has some stress, doesn’t it?
But, really, I didn’t give my food – or anything else about my lifestyle habits – much attention.
In truth, I didn’t really know how to.
I enjoyed life, worked hard… but behind the scenes things were steadily going wrong with my health.
Today, I thank my lucky stars that I found out how to undo what was going wrong.
My health today is like it was 25 years ago. It’s like I’ve not aged a single minute.
Because now we know how to heal ourselves
Today, we know accurately what we can do to make all the nasty stuff go away.
If we address our health problems today in ways shown to actually work…. then we can reverse the diseases that plague us.
And as we do this, the symptoms of ongoing, so-called untreatable kidney illness melt away to nothing.
That’s an opportunity we’ve not had before. Because only now have scientists finally worked out the full path – all the steps – from good health to disease.
Remember the path: gut health… malfunctioning immune system… widespread inflammation… disease… ongoing kidney break-down.
And understanding that, we have a simple way of going backwards – of reversing from CKD back to health.
Cutting to the chase: what do I do next?
So my doctor is explaining all this over coffee – well, three coffees to be accurate.
It was a heck of a lot to take in.
It all led to one obvious question though: how do I go about applying all this to myself?
How does an ordinary person like me make use of all this powerful stuff?
My doctor told me he knew of a health practitioner who had turned these new insights into a series of steps for sufferers to follow.
The program showed them a way out of their suffering – all described in plain English.
He had already recommended the program to other kidney patients. And those who followed it enjoyed life-changing results.
That’s exactly what I wanted.
I wanted something I could do – something that I knew others had successfully completed.
Something that had successfully addressed their diseased kidneys.
The Chronic Kidney Solution
The program that does it is called The Chronic Kidney Solution.
It was created by Shelly Manning, a natural health practitioner who already had stunning results in other areas of health.
The patient who had first told my doctor about this program had himself suffered diabetes. If he could successfully address that and his chronic illness… then I wanted to be doing what he had done.
I ordered it as soon as I got home and it arrived in my inbox a few minutes later.
I started reading it there and then. And that was the moment my life changed forever.
Am I still ill?
Today I don’t know if I still have a chronic kidney illness or not.
Even though he had seen it before, my doctor was delighted by my transformation.
A transformation I was able to feel and he was able to measure…
Today I eat very well, sleep soundly and am super relaxed.
I’m slim, happy, healthy and on top of the world.
I no longer experience any kidney disorder symptoms. Not one. My blood pressure has been normal for over a year now.
I still have routine tests to ensure all is okay. It always is.
Whether I’m officially still a CKD sufferer or not, I doubt I’ve been this healthy since my twenties.
So how does it work?
Shelly Manning’s The Chronic Kidney Solution is a straightforward plan for the complete relief of ongoing, health-threatening kidney condition symptoms.
All I had to do was follow Shelly’s instructions. My body naturally took care of the rest.
It was easy work. And some of the pay-offs came quickly – I felt different after just 4 days.
Some of her instructions were so ordinary that I couldn’t see how they would have much effect. But they did.
And given that I’ve swapped high blood pressure, diseased kidneys, tiredness, fatigue and low mood for vibrant health and a very big smile…
…I can safely say that doing what she advised was one of my smarter life decisions.
Three phases: from disease to health
Let me be bluntly honest with you here. Going from healthy to ill didn’t happen in an instant. Years of unhelpful lifestyle habits led gradually to my pretty serious kidney issues.
We get ill step by step.
We address illness in the same way: step by step.
So Shelly’s program works us back to health through three very specific phases:
Phase 1: Protect from kidney damage
First we stop damaging our kidneys any further and give them the space they need to heal.
It takes some simple alterations to our daily habits to achieve this.
We begin addressing gut health too. Those good bacteria respond quickly and as they recover so does our health.
I felt positive effects of this within days: a little less tired, a little more focused, more cheerful.
Phase 1 also directly focuses on balancing blood glucose levels.
Note this isn’t a portion-control or calorie-control diet. Shelly encourages more eating, not less. It’s knowing what to eat that makes such a profound difference.
Phase 2: Restore kidney function
We continue to stable blood sugars levels for the long haul.
Gut health has significantly improved – I was feeling noticeably more energetic, focused and upbeat. And despite eating as much food as I liked I was 12 pounds lighter.
Having released the stresses they were under my damaged kidneys were now slowly regaining their original functioning.
I was sleeping better than I had in years – even though I’ve never had a real sleep problem.
Phase 3: Repair and renew kidney tissue
At Stage 3 blood sugars are naturally stabilized – and they stay that way.
My blood pressure was now comfortably back in the healthy range – which was both a delight and a relief.
Using specific foods and natural supplements I generated new stem cells to repair kidney and heart tissue. The supplements were cheap and I got them from my local supermarket. I only had to use them for a short period – but the benefit was enormous: I was literally creating a new, healthy body.
So much about my health was completely turned around. Serious and potentially life-ending kidney symptoms were completely gone. Life-threatening blood pressure was normalized.
From diseased to outstanding health in 3 phases
Shelly’s program is natural, simple and easy to follow. No doctor visits, no drugs, no complications. No bills, no expenses.
And it works.
Which is why thousands of people are now taking the decision to transform their lives like this – and bring to an end their disease once and for all.
Staying healthy… forever?
Okay, I’m teasing a little bit.
But I eat plenty yet remain slim. Mentally and emotionally I’m on top of the world.
I’ve not just finally addressed never-ending, ongoing kidney problems – and the associated conditions that caused it.
I’ve also extended my lifespan. I will live longer.
And I’ll enjoy those extra years in good health – without the endless illnesses, medications and hospital visits that we’re conditioned to expect as we age.
The health effects of doing the right things has a profound effect on every aspect of my wellbeing – even at the smallest details.
I don’t even catch colds anymore!
It’s like I swapped a tired out body for a brand new one.
It’s not the miracle people might believe it is
These aren’t miracle outcomes. Shelly isn’t claiming to be some sort of health genius who discovered something that nobody else noticed.
These life-enhancing changes come from researched, verified, documented science from the US, Europe and across the world.
Outstanding health is simply the inevitable result of making the exact choices that the body needs you to make.
We’re so used to getting ill we forget that our body isn’t meant to be diseased. It’s meant to be healthy.
Illness is caused. And it’s our lifestyle behaviors that cause it.
By undoing lifestyle damage we’re simply restoring ourselves to the good health that our body always tries to reach anyway. We’re returning ourselves to normal.
Shelly’s lifestyle plan shows us exactly how to do that.
So long, kidney ailments!
Three years ago I decided not to suffer the deeply unpleasant effects of ongoing, ever-worsening kidney illness a moment longer.
I didn’t want to end up strapped to a kidney dialysis machine. And I didn’t want to have a transplant.
Today I am completely free of all kidney illness symptoms. My blood pressure is now consistently spot-on. My weight is down, my sugars are stable. My energy is high, my mindset is optimistic and relaxed.
I’ve never felt like this before.
It feels like a miracle. But it isn’t. This is nature at work. This is cause and effect.
Like millions of Americans I’d unknowingly made myself unwell. Now I have knowingly made myself super well.
Anyone can do this. It’s uncomplicated, straightforward. Shelly’s solution is for anyone who simply wants their health back.
Because you can have it back – just like thousands of us already have. Get Shelly Manning’s The Chronic Kidney Solution right now and join us in outstanding, lifelong health…
Her program works – but for cautious types she has a full 60-day money-back guarantee. No questions.
Thousands of us are now fully healthy and happy. Join is now…
The logical decision for life-threatening, ongoing kidney conditions
Remember: our body strives to be healthy. It does its best.
Lifestyle mistakes – the kind that millions of us make – work against it.
Undo those lifestyle mistakes and our body starts working its way back to its preferred, natural state – which is vibrant health.
Do exactly the right things the right way and it’s impossible to avoid being healthy, energetic and happy.
Shelly Manning shows exactly what those right things are.
Protect, restore, renew… not just the kidneys but the entire body.
Thousands of us did it – you can too. Start today.

Doing nothing is not an option
It’s a rule of life: What we address gets better. What we ignore… gets worse.
This is especially true with the serious – and potentially life-threatening – case of ongoing kidney illness.
Imagine being attached to a kidney machine 3 or 4 hours a day… for 4 or 5 days a week.
No more holidays. No independence. And a life expectancy reduced by 10, 20 or even 30 years.
Would a kidney transplant make everything right again? No, is the short answer. Because transplants are temporary. They preserve life for some years but, once a person has a replacement kidney… the clock starts counting down.
Who on earth wants all that?
Not me. Not you. Don’t put yourself through all this.
Act now and make everything right again. Get The Chronic Kidney Solution here…
Your gut could be steering your Kidneys toward Dialysis — Here’s how I took back control
Case study: Steve Bon
September 21, 2025
I used to think chronic kidney disease was a one-way street.
That once your numbers started drifting downward… there was no turning back.
Like many people, I believed the best you could do was delay the worst.
Until I learned the truth about what causes kidneys to fail in the first place.
And it’s not what most people think.
It’s not just high blood pressure.
Or blood sugar.
Or even age.
It’s your gut!
Deep inside your digestive system, trillions of microbes form a living ecosystem that touches every process in your body.
And we need these microbes.
Without them, we would die.
But if these microbes get out of balance…they become harmful to every organ in your body…
Your heart
Your brain
Your immune system
Your skin
Worst of all… they attack your Kidneys… silently, relentlessly
When that happens, inflammation surges.
Toxins leak into your bloodstream.
Waste piles up—and your kidneys, already vulnerable, take the hit.
No one warns you that bloating or irregular digestion might be early signs of something much worse.
They don’t tell you swollen ankles or nighttime bathroom trips might be coming from your gut.
But once I understood the connection, everything changed.
Because when I helped my gut heal…
My kidneys started healing too.
Within days, I feel lighter.
More clear-headed.
My energy comes back.
The swelling fades.
Even my doctor is speechless as my eGFR climbed back into the safe zone.
So if you’re facing chronic kidney disease right now…
If you’re tired of hearing that decline is “inevitable”…
And if you’re ready to take control instead of waiting for a transplant or dialysis—
Then what I’m about to share changes everything for you.
Let’s take a look at what’s really going on.
Step 1: Stop Obsessing Over Your Numbers
I used to sweat over every lab result: eGFR, creatinine, urea.
As if memorizing those numbers could somehow heal me.
But here’s the truth: chasing lab scores without fixing the real problem is like bailing water from a sinking boat—while ignoring the hole in the hull.
What I didn’t know back then?
My gut was the hole.
A gut packed with the wrong bacteria can leak harmful toxins straight into your bloodstream.
Those toxins hit your kidneys hard.
Silently, steadily, every single day.
Once I understood that, the game changed.
I stopped obsessing over numbers and started repairing the damage at its source—with simple shifts to how I ate and lived.
Your kidneys don’t need perfect lab scores.
They need relief.
Step 2: Stop Eating Like You’re on Borrowed Time
I had been told to cut this, restrict that, and avoid almost everything I loved.
Low protein, no salt, bland everything.
It felt like I was being punished… while my kidneys still got worse.
But here’s the problem: when you gut-starve, you gut-suffer.
Over-restricting your diet actually messes up your microbiome—which sends inflammation into overdrive and makes your kidneys work double-time.
What helped me?
Letting go of fear-based eating.
I fueled my body with the right foods that nourished both me and my microbiome.
I stopped treating food like a threat…
And started using it as medicine.
Step 3: Quit Waiting for Pills to Save You
For too long, I waited on medications to “manage” my condition.
I switched prescriptions, adjusted doses…
- Lower blood pressure
- Lower blood sugars
- Lower cholesterol
…and still —slowly, frustratingly— my kidneys declined.
But I finally saw something nobody told me—drugs can’t reverse the root causes.
They only quiet the symptoms.
And while my symptoms snoozed, the damage kept creeping.
When I turned my focus to healing my gut and cutting whole-body inflammation, my labs told a different story.
You change your future when you stop managing decline
And start rebuilding health.
Step 4: Stop Trusting Supplements Alone
I tried every so-called kidney support supplement I could find.
Herbs, powders, pills.
Wasted thousands of dollars.
If it said “renal safe,” I bought it.
If it claimed “detox,” I swallowed it.
None of them moved the needle.
Not really.
You can’t fix an ecosystem with a pill.
Your gut is the control center for inflammation.
And toxicity-causing inflammation is the silent fuel behind kidney breakdown.
Until you calm the gut and restore balance—including how you sleep, how you move, and how you eat—no capsule on the shelf will carry you back to health.
Cheap supermarket supplements became a small bonus…
Not the plan.
Step 5: Stop Believing the Decline Is Inevitable
That was the hardest cage to break: the belief that CKD only gets worse.
That the decline is slow, steady… and unavoidable.
But what if that belief is the very thing holding you back?
What if your kidneys aren’t doomed, but drowning in toxins and inflammation that don’t show up on your regular test?
Once I stopped expecting the worst and started working the plan that removed the real sources of damage, I felt better within days.
You won’t need blind hope anymore.
Because you’ll finally have control.
You Don’t Have to Give Up Your Life to Get Your Life Back
You won’t have to pack your fridge with obscure supplements.
You won’t need to survive on two types of lettuce and filtered air.
And no, you don’t have to drop your current doctor or ignore their advice.
You won’t be told to run five miles a day.
You won’t need to count every calorie or carb.
There’s no brutal detox, no long fasting, no one-size-fits-all diet plan.
You don’t have to do any of that.
Because what actually turned my health around wasn’t harder work or stranger cures.
It was seeing what was underneath it all.
See, I used to think my kidneys were just slowly giving up on me.
That it was a waiting game to see when dialysis would start.
But then I learned something I hadn’t heard before.
That the damage wasn’t just from what was happening in my kidneys… but from what was happening in my gut.
I didn’t believe it at first either.
It sounded strange.
Yet the more I looked into it, the more it made sense.
Unbalanced microbes in your guts slowly leak toxins into your bloodstream.
These toxins reach your kidneys.
Your immune system lit up like a fire alarm.
Inflammation spreads.
And your kidneys?
They take the hit.
Fix the gut —in the right way— and you cut off the attack at the source.
That’s what this approach does.
It isn’t flashy.
It doesn’t demand perfection.
It works because it fits real life.
I’ve kept my routine simple.
I still cook normal meals.
I still take walks because I want to. Not because I need to hit a step count.
But my kidneys… they started responding fast.
And I felt it.
You’ll feel it too —in your energy, your headspace, and the numbers on your next lab result.
If you’re still doing the same routine and waiting for something to change…
You might be stuck treating the symptom, not the source.
This is different.
This starts where the trouble really began.
You just need to be open to trying a method that works with your body—not against it.
So, what should you do next?
TO ANYONE WHO’S BEEN TOLD THERE’S NO WAY BACK FROM CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE…
Your Kidneys Aren’t Failing You… Your Gut is
You can restore kidney function and reclaim the energy you thought was gone forever… without relying on more pills or procedures.
I used to wake up dreading my lab results.
I did everything right—cut the salt, skipped the red meat, even gave up coffee.
Still… the numbers kept sliding.
First, it was the drop in eGFR.
Then came the swelling.
The never-ending fatigue.
Eventually, my doctor said the word I feared most: Dialysis.
It felt like the beginning of the end.
But it wasn’t.
Because just a few months later, something changed.
Not in my medication.
Not in my kidneys.
In my gut.
Now, I didn’t think much about my digestion.
Like most folks, I figured it didn’t have much to do with kidney disease.
Turns out, that was a costly mistake.
You see, new research has uncovered something shocking…
Your gut is feeding the very damage that makes your kidneys shut down.
It’s all connected through a hidden network of inflammation, toxins, and blood markers doctors are only beginning to understand.
And when you calm this storm—everything changes.
- You’ll see your energy return.
- You’ll feel your body lighten.
- You’ll stop, even reverse, the decline in kidney function.
- You’ll get real sleep again, without waking up to go every hour.
- You’ll stand taller, knowing you’ve escaped the trap that pulls so many toward dialysis.
That’s what happened to me.
I was supposed to get worse.
But instead, my kidneys began to recover.
And it wasn’t a fluke.
This approach works because it finally focuses on the why behind declining kidney health—not just the symptoms.
So if you’ve been handed a “life sentence”…
If you’re tired of battling fatigue, swelling, and fear…
And if you’re ready for a natural, proven path forward—
Then keep reading.
Because what you’re about to discover will challenge everything you thought you knew about chronic kidney disease.
You Don’t Have to Starve Yourself or Swear Off Salt for Life
Some folks will tell you that if your kidneys are on the ropes, then the only answer is to eat like a bird—zero salt, zero protein, zero joy.
They’re wrong.
I tried that and it was exhausting.
I ate flavorless meals.
I skipped out on get-togethers.
And I still felt like garbage.
My numbers kept slipping.
My energy levels were in the basement.
I barely slept.
My legs stayed swollen.
And I still had no idea what was actually making my kidneys worse.
That’s because starving your plate doesn’t fix what’s really going wrong.
You see, the problem wasn’t just what I was putting on my plate—it was what was already living in my gut.
Your gut is quietly wrecking your kidneys behind your back.
Decades of damage.
Poor metabolism.
A bloated, toxic microbiome.
It all adds up.
That’s the real reason your kidneys are struggling to keep up.
Cutting salt can help, a little.
Eating less protein might matter, later.
But neither one gets to the actual cause of the damage.
Fix the gut, and everything starts to change.
You’ll sleep better.
You’ll think clearer.
You’ll notice your swelling ease up, your ankles look normal again.
You’ll watch your labs shift in the right direction.
You’ll feel like you’re finally in control again—not just following orders and hoping things don’t get worse.
And all of this without starving, suffering, or living on dry rice cakes for the rest of your life.
What you need isn’t a restrictive diet.
You need a real solution that supports the kidneys from the inside out—starting with what’s controlling them from the shadows.
Everything changed when I discovered The Chronic Kidney Disease Solution
I used to think managing kidney disease was all about dodging salt and grabbing every new supplement on the shelf.
But not anymore.
Now, I follow a structured roadmap called The Chronic Kidney Disease Solution.
A natural, three-phase approach that moved me from terrified lab results… to better numbers, better sleep, and a far better life.
Turns out, the fight for your kidneys doesn’t start in your kidneys.
It starts in your gut.
You see, when your gut bacteria go out of balance, it doesn’t just affect digestion.
That imbalance triggers silent inflammation.
Allowing toxins to spill into your bloodstream.
Creating a storm that lands right on your kidneys.
And that’s what caught me off guard.
Because no one tells you this.
Not your doctor. Not your pharmacist. Not the leaflets stacked in the clinic waiting room.
Instead, all I ever heard was: “Control your blood pressure. Watch your diet. Keep monitoring. And be ready for dialysis.”
But what they didn’t say was far more powerful.
They didn’t say that stabilizing your microbiome helps your kidneys rest and repair — reducing swelling, clearing toxins, even lifting that constant fatigue we all start to just… live with.
They didn’t mention that kidney tissue regeneration can begin in just days once the inflammatory load stops.
And they certainly didn’t mention that kidney function could actually improve — without drugs, without dialysis — just by giving the body what it truly needs.
Now, this method isn’t about magic berries or cutting out food groups until nothing’s left on your plate.
It’s not a pile of pills or a supplement stack you can’t pronounce.
It’s a real strategy.
A strategy that clears out the root causes holding your kidneys hostage and replaces them with healing conditions your body recognizes.
You won’t hear this in conventional treatment circles.
And no, it’s not something you’ll stumble on by Googling “natural kidney remedies” or asking an Artificial Intelligence bot.
That’s because most of those quick fixes focus only on symptoms —like managing creatinine or restricting protein— without ever addressing why the kidneys started failing in the first place.
But when you follow this protocol, your immune system shifts.
Your gut calms.
And your kidneys stop drowning in incoming fire.
That’s when the magic happens.
And here’s the best part.
It doesn’t matter if you’re 52 or 86.
It works if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or even if your numbers have been sliding for years.
Because once you follow the steps —restore your gut, reduce inflammation, regenerate tissue— your body begins to respond.
Fast.
You’ll start to feel lighter. Your swelling drops. Your head clears. You move with more ease.
That first lift comes in days.
Then the numbers catch up — often within weeks.
It worked for me.
It’s working for thousands more.
And once you try The Chronic Kidney Disease Solution, it can work for you too.
Because this isn’t about maintaining decline.
It’s about reversing course. And finally giving your kidneys a chance to heal.
Because this protocol has FIVE complete phases – All designed to heal kidneys naturally.
When I first found out I had chronic kidney disease, I thought my life was going to shrink.
I thought I’d be stuck on meds, watching helplessly as my GFR dropped and my life narrowed down to hospital appointments.
But I was wrong.
There’s far more you can do than most people realize.
Especially when you look beyond prescriptions and discover how your lifestyle and gut health affect your kidneys every single day.
This strategy gives you the full, natural healing roadmap I followed—phase by phase, clearly laid out, fully backed by science—and it starts with this:
PART 1: The “What,” the “Who,” & the “How” of CKD
I used to feel overwhelmed every time my lab results came back.
I didn’t understand what the numbers meant—or why my doctor’s advice felt so limited.
This section changed that.
You’ll finally understand exactly what CKD is, why it happens, and how it connects to deeper problems like inflammation, blood sugar imbalances… and most importantly, gut health!
You won’t just get a diagnosis—you’ll learn the root of it and how to regain control.
PART 2: …I Get by with a Little Help from my (Little) Friends…
This is where light bulbs went off for me.
Because it turns out the gut isn’t just about digestion.
You’ll see how the tiny organisms in your belly —your gut bacteria— either fuel kidney damage or calm it down.
You’ll learn how healing your gut doesn’t just support your kidneys — it supports your heart, your blood sugar, and your entire metabolic health.
Once I started here, everything else got easier.
PART 3: Lifestyle Perspectives for Healing CKD
I didn’t want to rely on medicine alone.
I wanted something I could do — something natural, something real.
This section gave me tools I could use every day: how to move, eat, sleep, and breathe in ways that support kidney repair.
You’ll use natural aids like omega-3s, probiotics, herbs, and, even more importantly, foods like blueberries and olive oil (just to name a few) to help your body do what it’s designed to do: heal.
And you’ll see how science is now exploring cutting-edge approaches that back up all of it.
PART 4: The Rainbow Renal Lifestyle Protocol to Restore Kidney Health
This is where it all came together.
No more jumping from blog to blog or guessing what to eat.
You’ll follow a 3-phase blueprint that takes you step-by-step:
- First, stabilize kidney function.
- Then, begin to restore it.
- Finally, work toward renewing damaged tissue.
I stopped feeling like I was drowning in do’s and don’ts—and started feeling confident in every choice I made.
PART 5: Appendices
12 practical cheat-sheets and at-a-glance info.
This is where theory becomes action.
You’ll know exactly what foods to buy, which supplements are safe, and how to avoid hidden kidney stressors in everyday meals.
From 7-day meal plans… to low-GI food lists… to inexpensive supermarket supplements that truly help (and the ones that hurt)—it’s all here.
It all supports your microbiome, so you’re tackling CKD at its hidden root.
I use this section like a roadmap—and now, CKD no longer controls my day.
Now you may be asking yourself…
“But I’ve had CKD for years…”
So had I.
And it felt like I was running out of road.
My labs didn’t lie, and my energy was gone.
But what I didn’t know then was that something else entirely had been quietly making things worse.
It wasn’t my kidneys alone.
It was my gut.
There’s a link most never hear about: the damage starts in your digestive tract and silently pushes your kidneys toward failure—one molecule of inflammation at a time.
Once I understood that, the entire game changed.
“But I’m already in Stage 3 or 4…”
I was approaching stage 4 myself.
And that’s exactly when it matters most.
Because if your gut is throwing toxins into your bloodstream… into your kidneys… your kidneys are battling a war they can’t win.
And traditional care isn’t enough to stop it.
But when you restore your gut and stop that toxic cascade, something remarkable happens.
Your kidneys get space to breathe again.
Your numbers shift.
Your body stops fighting itself.
“But I’ve tried diets and ‘natural stuff’ before…”
So had I.
Most of it felt like false hope in a bottle.
But this wasn’t about trying every new fad or cutting every food group down to crumbs.
This was about identifying what was creating the internal chaos—and stopping it from the root.
When the gut stops flooding your kidneys with metabolic waste, you stop chasing symptoms… and start creating results.
No guesswork—just clarity.
“But I don’t want to give up on my doctor…”
You don’t have to.
You can use the Chronic Kidney Disease Solution while following your doctor’s advice.
This isn’t about going rogue—it’s about giving your body the support it’s been asking for all along.
Your doctor helps manage symptoms.
But you can support healing from the inside out—without stepping outside of your care.
You stay in full control.
“But what if this makes me worse?”
What made me worse… was doing nothing.
What helped me… was understanding what no one had told me before.
That healing doesn’t start in your kidneys.
It starts in your gut.
And once you address the source, everything downstream begins to change.
You won’t just feel better—you’ll gain back ground you thought you’d already lost.
Let’s bring it all together:
- The hidden threat behind kidney disease’s steady decline isn’t just blood sugar, blood pressure, or even genetics. It’s your gut—a disrupted microbiome quietly triggering inflammation and flooding your kidneys with toxins.
- Forget gimmicks, mystery pills, or simply hoping your prescription will hold the line.
- The worst mistake you can make is believing kidneys fail “just because.”
- The real path forward is a targeted, natural approach that works through your gut, calms your body’s immune fire, and gently restores kidney function—without adding side effects or invasive treatments.
- Every step I’ve explained to you — now available inside The Chronic Kidney Disease Solution — is backed by well-documented science and put into action through an easy-to-follow healing roadmap.
The Chronic Kidney Disease Solution
The only program built to reverse kidney decline from the inside out—starting in the gut.
This breakthrough 3-phase system shows you how to reduce kidney-damaging inflammation, repair the gut-kidney connection, and support regeneration naturally—without pills or dialysis.
What’s inside this solution isn’t random advice or guesswork.
It’s created by a well-respected natural health researcher, consultant and writer, Shelly Manning.
Throughout her +25-year experience, she has helped thousands of people tackle their CKD naturally.
Both in person and online.
When I was first diagnosed with CKD, no one mentioned the gut.
Now I know better—and thanks to Shelly’s knowledge and help, my kidney numbers reversed far more than any drug ever did.
That’s why I’m sharing this: to help others follow the same clear, natural path.
Doing this alone is the long, hard way
There’s no shortage of diets, videos or blogs out there making promises.
I’ve seen people throw together low-salt meals, take a dozen supplements, or try avoiding protein entirely, hoping it will protect their kidneys.
It rarely works and here’s why…
Without understanding the real root causes —gut imbalances, persistent inflammation, toxic load— you’re just guessing at symptoms, not solving anything.
That’s why The Chronic Kidney Disease Solution isn’t just a “kidney diet.”
It’s a whole-body reboot that stabilizes your digestion, targets inflammation, and supports kidney health where it begins.
You’ll follow a proven roadmap —tested, clear, phase-by-phase— so you’re no longer just hoping something will work.
But let’s be honest — this isn’t for everyone
I want to be upfront.
There are some people this solution is not designed to help.
Please skip this if:
- You’re looking for a “magic fix” in a bottle—with no changes to your lifestyle.
- You think your kidneys can heal while continuing habits that created the problem.
- You’re unwilling to follow a new rhythm for how you eat, sleep, and support your gut—no matter how easy Shelly makes it.
- You’re expecting results but won’t open the guide, read it, or take action.
- Or, you believe kidney decline is simply “part of aging” and unchangeable.
If any of that sounds like you, then this isn’t the right solution.
But if you’ve made it this far…
There’s a better chance than ever that you’re ready to take control… starting now.
You won’t need spreadsheets, doctors, or medical training
Shelly has done the hard work of researching, organizing, and breaking down this method so anyone —at any stage— can use it.
You’ll know exactly what to eat…
What to avoid…
And how to support your kidneys through each phase.
The steps are simple.
The actions are doable.
And best of all?
You’ll begin feeling better in just a few days.
So don’t overthink it.
Just follow the plan, like I did.
Because when your kidneys start getting better…
Everything else does too.
Before You Go, Let Me Leave You With This:
If you’re anything like I was, you think there’s not much more you can do about your kidneys once CKD kicks in.
You watch your numbers drop.
You tweak your meds.
You pray it doesn’t get worse.
And every day, you wait for the slow slide toward dialysis.
But that’s not your only option.
Not anymore.
That’s because the real trouble —the one hiding in plain sight— isn’t actually in your kidneys.
It’s in your gut.
And unless you fix what’s happening there, your kidneys will keep slipping away no matter how good your diet is or how closely you take your meds.
I didn’t know that either.
Not until I did.
And once I made the change, the numbers told the story.
My energy came back.
My days stopped revolving around test results.
I finally had a plan. And it worked.
Now, you have a plan too.
It’s simple.
It’s safe.
And it works with your body… not against it.
But if you walk away now, here’s what happens.
Things won’t just “stay the same.”
They’ll get worse.
Because CKD doesn’t sit still.
You’ll see your eGFR slide.
You’ll feel the heavy fog take over.
You’ll spend more and more time shuffling between doctors, labs, and terrifying “what-ifs.”
And somewhere in that, dialysis starts to feel less like a possibility and more like a date.
I don’t want that for you.
You don’t want that for you.
That’s why this is your moment.
When you say yes today, you’ll:
- Support your kidneys naturally from the inside out
• Get the gut-kidney connection under control —for good
• See the difference in how you feel in as little as 2–3 days
• Follow a step-by-step roadmap that rebuilds your kidney health from the ground up
• Watch your eGFR rise —possibly within the first 4 weeks
• Do it all without pills or dialysis
You’ve got nothing to lose… except that overwhelming fear of decline.
Take back your health now—before it’s one step closer to being taken from you.
Don’t let another test result steal your peace.
Say yes to what works.
Yes to healing from the root.
Yes to a life that feels whole again.
