Renal Diet Cookbook: The Ultimate Guide to Manage Kidney Disease (CKD) and Avoid Dialysis with Healthy and Easy-to-Follow Recipes (Includin

About 15% of the US adult population (37 million people) is living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) while a staggering 80 million American adults (1 in every 3 adults) has a high risk of developing CKD. Yes, CKD is increasingly becoming a major national health concern, as it puts millions of people at the risk of developing complications like kidney failure, anemia, fluid buildup, bone disease, heart disease and many others all of which are life threatening.

Being diagnosed with CKD is indeed painful. But keep in mind that you are better than the millions of people who are not yet diagnosed (most people only discover they have CKD when it is too late - which is why it is called the silent killer - when their kidneys fail or when they start developing the complications that come with kidney failure).

At this stage, nothing can be done to reverse CKD; the only recourse is dialysis or kidney transplant, which are not only costly (costing upwards of $72,000 a year for hemodialysis and $53,000 per year for peritoneal dialysis. And that's in addition to having to spend at least 3 hours at a dialysis center 3 times a week - plus the wasted hours for commuting).

So what's the other way?
