Re: focal segmental glomerular sclerosis -Q

I would consider immune support with a mushroom product as the mushrooms are immune modulators so whether it's autoimmune or not, they are safe and helpful. I really like Host Defense from New Mark ( Stamets formulated it). This is just support while you work ont he real stuff with drainage. A lifestyle change is essential if the immune system is ever to get back in order.

Also, Pellitory of the Wall (I think it's called Parietaria) is considered for the kidneys as Milk Thistle is to the liver so maybe protective.

Lots of drainage for sclerosis activity. Can't think of the unda's right now. 700 maybe. Kim E.

focal segmental glomerular sclerosis -Q

Hello All,I have a 38 yo female patient that was diagnosed with focal segmental glomerular sclerosis after the birth of her 2nd child. Her only symptom seems to be HTN with blood pressures averaging 160/100 with traditional pharm meds. No family history of FSGS or auto-immune disease. She is a lawyer who owns her own firm and thrives on the stress of going to court. the diet is horrible she skips meals all the time. She doesn't have an stress management to speak of. I want to treat the underlying cause but from my research there is controversy whether FSGS is an auto immune-disease or not. Treatment PlanDietary changes include 5-6 small meals with whole food naturopathic diet. once she gets the hang of it she will move to anti-inflammatory diet. I put her on BTG and started with 1, 20, 258. I'm not sure what the next set of Unda's would be I'm torn between trying to support kidney function, or immune

function. Can anyone help me with which direction is to go in? Thanks!__________________________________________________
