I know sometime back we spoke a few times about how untrustworthy our 'experts' are when it comes to correctly diagnosing/ treating of various ailments. At the time, Covid was big as well as anything AGAINST the given narrative, was considered conspiracy thinking, and mostly deleted throughout the internet. Anyway, this is my latest. Recently, I went for a regular checkup and blood test as I hadn't had one in probably 30 years (no lie). What pleasantly surprised me, was that I received the results literally the next day on my portal. So, before I received any info from the doctor himself, I examined the whole thing....noticing that other than my cholesterol being a bit high, everything negative pointed to possible kidney disease....about 5 different areas especially an estimated gfr of 65.9% (normal is 90% or higher).
From there I was able to figure out that IF I did have it, I was in either stage 1 or 2 and that's why I wasn't showing any symptoms. I also discovered (according to whomever) it cannot be reversed but the negative progression can pretty much be stemmed. I then went on to read a blog from someone who had stage 3, and was no longer experiencing any symptoms. His closing was basically, "Do I still have stage 3? Probably, but I am not even bothering to check because I feel great!" This encouraged me.
The first thing I did was check my water intake. I literally realized I was drinking probably less than half of what is recommended and I walk about 10 miles a day! So, I forced myself to begin drinking more (a lot more) and within days, my 'always' colder right leg (due to poor circulation supposedly. Another hoot is looking up what causes poor circulation. I found 11 reasons but didn't find anything about not drinking enough water) was the same as my other. The slight numbness also went away.
I'll end by saying this: be careful! These doctors are 'practicing' physicians. Even on the net, I found that there were disagreements among the medical profession as to what can be eaten; what can be causes and solutions etc on some of the most basic stuff. All I'm saying is, don't just trust what 'they' say.
As for Boston and Sint: is he real? Of course he's real. We disagree completely on the way Sint runs itself and the causes as to why. Do I believe the company has a helpful product? Yes...but that's where I'm at and haven't changed my position on it and won't UNTIL I see the company itself behave differently. Where Boston and I do agree is that what's told us, isn't what's often really going on in the world. We see this in world events, local politics, and everywhere else if we're willing to recognize it for what it is.
P.S. when my doctor did respond to the results, his diagnosis was that my kidneys/ liver were functioning as "normal". Sound good and I hope he's correct, but I think I diagnosed my issues better than he. He didn't mention anything about water intake etc. The only thing he said was my cholesterol level was a bit high and needed to be monitored, along with the suggestion to watch what I eat and exercise.
