But it was always caused by something else that was already going wrong in the body.<\/p>\n<p>Diabetes, heart disease, various cardiovascular diseases, being very overweight and so on. They can all cause CKD.<\/p>\n<p>High blood pressure was the cause of my CKD.<\/p>\n<p>Your CKD may have a different cause. But the result is the same.<\/p>\n<p>My doctor told me that chronic kidney disease can\u2019t be tackled directly. Instead, doctors address the diseases that cause it in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Which, for me, meant tackling my blood pressure problem.<\/p>\n<p>It might be a different fight for you depending on what\u2019s causing your own CKD.<\/p>\n<p>But whatever the cause, the strategy is the same: alleviate the problems of the CKD itself while addressing the underlying disease that is causing the CKD in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, using standard methods CKD can &#8211; and often does &#8211; get progressively worse. As it gets worse it becomes a significantly more threatening disease.<\/p>\n<p>There was no way I could just accept that. No way.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, I didn\u2019t have to accept it. I did something else instead.<\/p>\n<p>Which has meant that these days I can\u2019t remember what CKD even feels like anymore.<\/p>\n<p>But before I jump ahead of myself, let me make this important point.<\/p>\n<h3>Chronic Kidney Disease &#8211; the 5 stages<\/h3>\n<p>My doctor taught me something very worrying about CKD.<\/p>\n<p>The disease has 5 stages. Stage 1 is the mildest.<\/p>\n<p>Stage 5 is as serious as it gets.<\/p>\n<p>Stage 5 can shorten a person&#8217;s life by many, many years.<\/p>\n<p>You do <em>not<\/em> want to reach stage 5.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>A slippery slope to stage 5<\/h3>\n<p>My CKD was at stage 3 when it was discovered. Most of us only discover our CKD when it\u2019s already well underway.<\/p>\n<p>The danger here is that CKD gets progressively worse. Doctors find it very difficult to halt CKD\u2019s progress into stages 4 and then 5.<\/p>\n<p>At stage 5 you are plugged into a dialysis machine. You hope and pray for a suitable kidney donor so that you can squeeze some more years out of life\u2026 before finally succumbing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Well, no thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Dialysis machines and kidney transplants were <em>not<\/em> for me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t care that other people coped with being strapped to a dialysis machine for hours on end four or five times a week.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s them. It&#8217;s not me.<\/p>\n<p>And I didn&#8217;t care that, for people lucky enough to find kidney donors, better transplant techniques meant that they weren\u2019t dying so quickly afterwards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As far as I was concerned\u2026 once you reach the kidney dialysis machines and transplant stage your days are numbered.<\/p>\n<p>Again: no thanks.<\/p>\n<p>I had &#8211; and still have &#8211; many years of life ahead of me.<\/p>\n<p>And I wanted those years to be healthy, happy, enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>Not ill, diseased&#8230; watching my clock run down.<\/p>\n<h3>This wasn\u2019t the life I wanted<\/h3>\n<p>I felt very low, to be honest.<\/p>\n<p>My doctor gave me the standard spiel: we can handle the symptoms, we can try to address underlying causes\u2026 with the right meds you could lead a fairly normal life. And so on.<\/p>\n<p>I told him this wasn\u2019t good enough. I didn\u2019t want my life cut short with a disease that &#8211; at least officially &#8211; had no way of being reversed.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t want to watch myself deteriorate week by week. I didn\u2019t want to be plugged into a dialysis machine. I didn\u2019t want a transplant.<\/p>\n<p>And I didn\u2019t want to die early.<\/p>\n<p>I was very upset. I didn\u2019t know what to do next.<\/p>\n<p>But I didn\u2019t want to just do <em>nothing<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>There is an alternative &#8211; and it\u2019s proven<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve known my doctor since college. He\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>He had something important to tell me.<\/p>\n<p>Well, what my doctor told me that afternoon was jaw-dropping.<\/p>\n<p>He described how he\u2019d witnessed five of his own patients treat their chronic kidney disease to the point that they now experienced none of its symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing: they had first treated <em>the underlying cause<\/em> &#8211; the condition that gave rise to their CKD in the first place. That had led to the melting away of both that condition\u2019s symptoms <em>and<\/em> their CKD symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Which was staggering. We\u2019re talking about diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, obesity here&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>He wouldn\u2019t claim they no longer had the disease &#8211; professionally he\u2019s not allowed to say that yet. Tests are still taking place, official verification is required &#8211; that takes years to complete.<\/p>\n<p>But when one of his own patients attempted an alternative health approach to his chronic kidney disease\u2026. and by all measures, <em>succeeded<\/em>\u2026 my doctor couldn\u2019t ignore that.<\/p>\n<p>The effects weren\u2019t temporary &#8211; they lasted.<\/p>\n<p>My doctor explained that <em>conventional<\/em> medicine was still testing these new remedies. But ordinary people had jumped straight in and had been applying them for some years.<\/p>\n<p>No drugs, no hospitals&#8230; and the results were <em>fantastic<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I was excited and nervous when I heard this. But everything we discussed that day I went on to prove to myself.<\/p>\n<h3>Chronic Kidney Disease: the inside story<\/h3>\n<p>But before I jump ahead of myself let me tell you what else my doctor told me.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve always known that CKD is caused by other conditions: diabetes, high blood pressure, heart conditions, too much excess weight and so on.<\/p>\n<p>So it makes sense to tackle those conditions if we&#8217;re to address CKD.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors tackle those conditions either by significantly reducing their effect on our bodies&#8230; or by successfully reversing them completely.<\/p>\n<p>This much has been well understood for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>We also know another vital element of the story: that the conditions I listed above &#8211; diabetes, high blood pressure and so on &#8211; are often the result of low-level, ongoing <em>inflammation in the body<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Those conditions are either made worse by this ongoing inflammation &#8211; or, more often, are <em>directly caused by it<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we&#8217;re well aware that the inflammation itself is mostly caused by a faulty immune system.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, our immune system is being triggered way too often.<\/p>\n<p>Which leads to ongoing inflammation\u2026 which in turn overwhelms our bodies and creates damage throughout.<\/p>\n<h3>The pathway to disease<\/h3>\n<p>So&#8230; a faulty immune system&#8230; leads to widespread inflammation&#8230; which leads to one or more of the diseases mentioned. Which leads to CKD.<\/p>\n<p>This is the pathway to disease.<\/p>\n<p><em>But what causes the faulty, malfunctioning immune system in the first place?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s that initial trigger that sets off the whole thing?<\/p>\n<p>That has always been a mystery. Yet if doctors could find out how to stop the immune system from malfunctioning then the inflammation, the disease and the CKD\u2026 all goes away.<\/p>\n<h3>And now we know&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>In the last few years scientists finally found out.<\/p>\n<p>The immune system malfunction that causes your chronic kidney disease comes from problems in the gut.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, <em>the gut<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>We now realize that, incredibly, most of the western world\u2019s major killer diseases begin in our guts.<\/p>\n<p>This one insight has changed <em>forever<\/em> how scientists now tackle disease.<\/p>\n<p>And this isn&#8217;t theory, by the way. It&#8217;s not guesswork.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s heavily researched, scientific <em>knowledge<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>The details are straightforward<\/h3>\n<p>When we\u2019re talking about your gut we\u2019re not talking about bloating or stomach ache or anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re talking about the fascinating environment within your intestinal tract.<\/p>\n<p>That environment &#8211; also called the <em>microbiome<\/em> &#8211; contains trillions of fantastically useful bacteria.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re used to thinking of bacteria as being harmful. But over 90% of the bacteria in a healthy gut perform functions that keep you <em>alive<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They do things for you that your body itself <em>simply cannot do<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>When healthy gut bacteria dominate our guts &#8211; and unhealthy gut bacteria are kept to a minimum &#8211; we are at our healthiest and happiest.<\/p>\n<p>When this balance is disturbed we get ill. If it\u2019s disturbed for long enough, we get <em>very<\/em> ill.<\/p>\n<p>Here are just a few functions gut bacteria carry out for us:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They directly affect on our moods and emotions<\/li>\n<li>They manage our growth from childhood, to adulthood, to old age<\/li>\n<li>They strongly regulate our weight (food cravings come from bad gut bacteria, not greed!)<\/li>\n<li>They eliminate toxins that our body cannot handle, preventing an overwhelm of blood poisons<\/li>\n<li>They extract essential, life-preserving vitamins from food that our body simply cannot access &#8211; and which we can\u2019t survive without<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Good bacteria literally keeps us alive. So we need it to be in the best shape possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Why? What does poor gut health mean?<\/h3>\n<p>If the number of good bacteria are reducing then bad bacteria gain an upper-hand in your gut.<\/p>\n<p>Given enough time the damage they cause to your body can be bad, then severe &#8211; then <em>fatal<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Conditions that are directly linked to poor gut health include:<\/p>\n<table width=\"523\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"272\">\n<p>diabetes<\/p>\n<p>liver disease<\/p>\n<p>cardiovascular disease<\/p>\n<p>some cancers<\/p>\n<p>gout<\/p>\n<p>high blood pressure<\/p>\n<p>celiac disease<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"251\">\n<p>heart disease<\/p>\n<p>kidney disease<\/p>\n<p>arthritis<\/p>\n<p>thyroiditis<\/p>\n<p>psoriasis<\/p>\n<p>irritable bowel disease<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Recognize anything on this list?<\/p>\n<p>If you have even one of these then your gut health either has a major hand in it or &#8211; in most cases &#8211; your gut health is the actual <em>cause<\/em> of it.<\/p>\n<p>Remember the pathway to disease we mentioned a moment ago? We understand that pathway now:<\/p>\n<p>Poor gut health leads to immune system malfunction\u2026 which leads to low-level inflammation\u2026 which leads to one or more of the above diseases. Which then leads to CKD.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, if you\u2019re a Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) sufferer who has been told that your diabetes is for life because its cause is unknown\u2026 <em>that<\/em> story is currently being rewritten.<\/p>\n<p>Consider this from a 2018 white paper:<\/p>\n<p><em>Recent evidence shows that altered gut bacterial composition is highly associated with T1D and, thus, <u>targeting gut microbiota may serve as a therapeutic potential for T1D patients.<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Pathogenesis\u2019 simply means \u2018the development of the disease\u2019. The scientists here are suggesting that the therapy for Type 1 Diabetes is to target the state of the sufferer\u2019s gut health.<\/p>\n<p>Or this from a 2019 white paper:<\/p>\n<p><em>Among the included studies, <u>24 articles confirmed the association between gut microbiota dysbiosis and T1D<\/u>. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Gut microbiota dysbiosis\u2019 refers to imbalances in the environment of the gut. Here, the researchers have confirmed that the state of the gut is associated with Type 1 Diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Dozens of heavyweight scientific research papers are reaching the same incredible conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers aren\u2019t allowed yet to claim that repairing gut health successfully eliminates T1D &#8211; even though the evidence points convincingly in that direction.<\/p>\n<p>But gut health is <em>heavily<\/em> implicated in T1D &#8211; in the same way that gut health is now known to often be the only cause of all the other conditions I just mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s this insight that is now leading us into startling &#8211; yet very simple &#8211; remedies for western society\u2019s most deadly diseases.<\/p>\n<h3>The chance to turn it all around<\/h3>\n<p>Get those gut bacteria healthy and everything that was going wrong &#8211; including CKD &#8211; starts going right again.<\/p>\n<p>But what causes our guts to become unhealthy?<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt at all about the causes: it\u2019s our lifestyle choices.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Lifestyle\u2019 simply refers to the usual suspects: stress, sleep, fitness and diet.<\/p>\n<p>Which, at first sight, all seems pretty bland and dull. We\u2019ve heard all this before.<\/p>\n<p>But now it\u2019s very different. Because now scientists understand the <em>direct<\/em> link between what we do\u2026 and how we get disease.<\/p>\n<p>Poor lifestyle habits slowly ruin our gut health. They decimate good bacteria &#8211; allowing bad bacteria to thrive and expand their deadly effects.<\/p>\n<p>Our gut environment becomes less helpful to us\u2026 and steadily more deadly.<\/p>\n<p>Which makes it inevitable that, in time, we will end up either very ill or <em>fatally<\/em> ill.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>We say it\u2019s \u2018age\u2019 that causes disease. That\u2019s absolute nonsense.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the slow and steady neglect of our gut health that causes disease. We do it to ourselves. We don\u2019t mean to. But it\u2019s what we do.<\/p>\n<p>Poor lifestyle habits are the primary reason (for millions of us, they\u2019re the <em>only<\/em> reason) we contract western society\u2019s worst diseases &#8211; heart, blood, liver, kidney\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Your basic lifestyle habits directly and <em>dramatically<\/em> determine whether you\u2019ll be ill at all.<\/p>\n<p>And if you will be ill those habits determine which illnesses you\u2019ll get &#8211; and how they will play out over the long-term.<\/p>\n<h3>The good news is&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>Take heart though. This knowledge is, literally, life-saving.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve now discovered at the deepest level why we get ill.<\/p>\n<p>Which means we can get well again.<\/p>\n<p>Simple, specific changes to some daily habits are now ridding people of a whole array of horrible conditions.<\/p>\n<p>There is a right way of doing this, of course. It\u2019s not simply a matter of \u2018eating healthily\u2019 (whatever that means) or \u2018getting more exercise\u2019 (which not all CKD sufferers are able to do).<\/p>\n<p>When someone is so ill that their kidneys are starting to fail then correcting specific lifestyle habits can change their life.<\/p>\n<p>Done <em>properly<\/em>, it can <em>save<\/em> their life.<\/p>\n<p>Beware though that the standard advice we see in magazines or on popular websites isn\u2019t right for CKD sufferers.<\/p>\n<p>We have a specific condition and that requires new and very specific action. It\u2019s easier than most people believe &#8211; but it has to be <em>right<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>More powerful than medicine<\/h3>\n<p>Correcting these lifestyle factors properly can be literally transforming &#8211; more powerful than medications and even more life-improving than surgery.<\/p>\n<p>But diet &#8211; what we eat and what we drink &#8211; is the kingpin of disease.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the supreme dictator of how we\u2019re going to suffer as we grow older &#8211; or even <em>if<\/em> we\u2019re going to suffer at all.<\/p>\n<p>You can eat your way back to healthy gut bacteria &#8211; and, therefore, full vibrant health.<\/p>\n<p>There are many, many foods that you can eat unlimited amounts of.<\/p>\n<p>Including &#8211; happily &#8211; a number of foods that&nbsp; \u2018fad diets\u2019 tell you not to touch.<\/p>\n<p>Everything you need to eat can be bought at a local supermarket. Half of it is possibly already in your kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially though you must eat enough of the <em>right<\/em> things in the <em>right<\/em> quantities. Do that and everything else falls beautifully into place.<\/p>\n<h3>Back to the future<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>And I didn\u2019t think I was suffering stress any more than the average person was. All life has some stress, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>But, really, I didn\u2019t give my food &#8211; or anything else about my lifestyle habits &#8211;&nbsp; much attention.<\/p>\n<p>In truth, I didn\u2019t really know how to.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed life, worked hard\u2026 but behind the scenes things were steadily going wrong with my health.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I thank my lucky stars that I found out how to undo what was going wrong.<\/p>\n<p>My health today is like it was 25 years ago. It\u2019s like I\u2019ve not aged a single minute.<\/p>\n<h3>Because now we know how to heal ourselves<\/h3>\n<p>Today, we know <em>accurately<\/em> what we can do to make all the nasty stuff go away.<\/p>\n<p>If we address our health problems <u>today<\/u> in ways shown to actually <u>work<\/u>\u2026. then we can reverse the diseases that plague us.<\/p>\n<p>And as we do this, the symptoms of chronic kidney disease melt away to nothing.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s an opportunity we\u2019ve not had before. Because only now have scientists finally worked out the full path &#8211; all the steps &#8211; from good health to disease.<\/p>\n<p>Remember the path: gut health\u2026 malfunctioning immune system\u2026 widespread inflammation\u2026 disease\u2026 CKD<\/p>\n<p>And understanding that, we have a simple way of going backwards &#8211; of reversing from CKD back to health.<\/p>\n<h3>Cutting to the chase: what do I do next?<\/h3>\n<p>So my doctor is explaining all this over coffee &#8211; well, three coffees to be accurate.<\/p>\n<p>It was a heck of a lot to take in.<\/p>\n<p>It all led to one obvious question though: how do I go about applying all this to myself?<\/p>\n<p>How does an ordinary person like me make use of all this powerful stuff?<\/p>\n<p>My doctor told me he knew of a health practitioner who had turned these new insights into a series of steps for CKD sufferers to follow.<\/p>\n<p>The program showed them a way out of their suffering &#8211; all described in plain English.<\/p>\n<p>He had already recommended the program to other CKD patients. And those who followed it enjoyed life-changing results.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s <em>exactly<\/em> what I wanted.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted something I could <em>do<\/em> &#8211; something that I knew others had successfully completed.<\/p>\n<p>Something that had successfully addressed their CKD.<\/p>\n<h3>The Chronic Kidney Disease Solution<\/h3>\n<p>The program that does it is called The Chronic Kidney Disease Solution.<\/p>\n<p>It was created by Shelly Manning, a natural health practitioner who already had stunning results in other areas of health.<\/p>\n<p>The patient who had first told my doctor about this program had himself suffered diabetes. If he could successfully address that <em>and<\/em> his CKD&#8230; then I wanted to be doing what he had done.<\/p>\n<p>I ordered it as soon as I got home and it arrived in my inbox a few minutes later.<\/p>\n<p>I started reading it there and then. And that was the moment my life changed forever.<\/p>\n<h3>Am I still ill?<\/h3>\n<p>Today I don\u2019t know if I still have chronic kidney disease or not.<\/p>\n<p>Even though he had seen it before, my doctor was delighted by my transformation.<\/p>\n<p>A transformation I was able to <em>feel <\/em>and he was able to <em>measure<\/em>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Today I eat very well, sleep soundly and am super relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m slim, happy, healthy and on top of the world.<\/p>\n<p>I no longer experience any CKD symptoms. Not one. My blood pressure has been normal for over a year now.<\/p>\n<p>I still have routine tests to ensure all is okay. It always is.<\/p>\n<p>Whether I\u2019m officially still a CKD sufferer or not, I doubt I\u2019ve been this healthy since my twenties.<\/p>\n<h3>So how does it work?<\/h3>\n<p>Shelly Manning\u2019s The Chronic Kidney Disease Solution is a straightforward plan for the complete relief of CKD symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>All I had to do was follow Shelly\u2019s instructions. My body naturally took care of the rest.<\/p>\n<p>It was easy work. And some of the pay-offs came quickly &#8211; I felt different after just 4 days.<\/p>\n<p>Some of her instructions were so ordinary that I couldn\u2019t see how they would have much effect. But they did.<\/p>\n<p>And given that I\u2019ve swapped high blood pressure, diseased kidneys, tiredness, fatigue and low mood for vibrant health and a <em>very<\/em> big smile&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;I can safely say that doing what she advised was one of my smarter life decisions.<\/p>\n<h3>Three phases: from disease to health<\/h3>\n<p>Let me be bluntly honest with you here. Going from healthy to ill didn\u2019t happen in an instant. Years of unhelpful lifestyle habits led gradually to chronic kidney disease.<\/p>\n<p>We get ill step by step.<\/p>\n<p>We address illness in the same way: step by step.<\/p>\n<p>So Shelly&#8217;s program works us back to health through three very specific phases:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase 1: Protect from kidney damage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First we stop damaging our kidneys any further and give them the space they need to heal.<\/p>\n<p>It takes some simple alterations to our daily habits to achieve this.<\/p>\n<p>We begin addressing gut health too. Those good bacteria respond quickly and as they recover so does our health.<\/p>\n<p>I felt positive effects of this within days: a little less tired, a little more focused, more cheerful.<\/p>\n<p>Phase 1 also directly focuses on balancing blood glucose levels.<\/p>\n<p>Note this isn\u2019t a portion-control or calorie-control diet. Shelly encourages <em>more<\/em> eating, not less. It\u2019s knowing <em>what<\/em> to eat that makes such a profound difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase 2: Restore kidney function<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We continue to establish stable blood sugar levels for life.<\/p>\n<p>Gut health has significantly improved &#8211; I was feeling noticeably more energetic, focused and upbeat. And despite eating as much food as I liked I was 12 pounds lighter.<\/p>\n<p>Having released the stresses they were under my damaged kidneys were now slowly regaining their original functioning.<\/p>\n<p>I was sleeping better than I had in years &#8211; even though I\u2019ve never had a real sleep problem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase 3: Repair and renew kidney tissue<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At Stage 3 blood sugars are naturally stabilized &#8211; and they stay that way.<\/p>\n<p>My blood pressure was now comfortably back in the healthy range &#8211; which was both a delight and a relief.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8211; but the benefit was enormous: I was literally creating a new, healthy body.<\/p>\n<p>So much about my health was completely turned around. CKD symptoms were completely gone. Life-threatening blood pressure was normalized.<\/p>\n<h3>From diseased to outstanding health in 3 phases<\/h3>\n<p>Shelly\u2019s program is natural, simple and easy to follow. No doctor visits, no drugs, no complications. No bills, no expenses.<\/p>\n<p>And it works.<\/p>\n<p>Which is why thousands of people are now taking the decision to transform their lives like this &#8211; and bring to an end their disease once and for all.<\/p>\n<h3>Staying healthy\u2026 forever?<\/h3>\n<p>Okay, I\u2019m teasing a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>But I eat plenty yet remain slim. Mentally and emotionally I\u2019m on top of the world.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve not just finally addressed my chronic kidney disease &#8211; and the associated conditions that caused it.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also extended my lifespan. <em>I will live longer.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019ll enjoy those extra years in good health &#8211; without the endless illnesses, medications and hospital visits that we\u2019re conditioned to expect as we age.<\/p>\n<p>The health effects of doing the right things has a profound effect on every aspect of my wellbeing &#8211; even at the smallest details.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t even catch colds anymore!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like I swapped a tired out body for a brand new one.<\/p>\n<h3>It\u2019s not the miracle you might believe it is<\/h3>\n<p>These aren\u2019t miracle outcomes. Shelly isn\u2019t claiming to be some sort of health genius who discovered something that nobody else noticed.<\/p>\n<p>These life-enhancing changes come from researched, verified, documented <em>science<\/em> from the US, Europe and across the world.<\/p>\n<p>Outstanding health is simply the inevitable result of making the exact choices that the body needs you to make.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re so used to getting ill we forget that your body isn\u2019t <em>meant<\/em> to be diseased. It\u2019s <em>meant<\/em> to be healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Illness is <em>caused<\/em>. And it\u2019s our lifestyle behaviors that cause it.<\/p>\n<p>By undoing lifestyle damage you\u2019re simply restoring yourself to the good health that your body always tries to reach anyway. You\u2019re returning yourself to normal.<\/p>\n<p>Shelly\u2019s lifestyle plan shows us exactly how to do that.<\/p>\n<h3>So long, CKD<\/h3>\n<p>Three years ago I decided not to suffer the deeply unpleasant effects of chronic kidney disease a moment longer.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t want to end up strapped to a kidney dialysis machine. And I didn\u2019t want to have a transplant.<\/p>\n<p>Today I am completely free of all chronic kidney disease 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.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never felt like this before.<\/p>\n<p>It feels like a miracle. But it isn\u2019t. This is nature at work. This is cause and effect.<\/p>\n<p>Like millions of Americans I\u2019d unknowingly made myself unwell. Now I have knowingly made myself super well.<\/p>\n<p>You deserve this too. I\u2019m guessing that, for you, enough is enough.
