My mom is in kidney failure, and her body isn't absorbing\digesting nutrition, she's lost more than 50lbs over the last 3 weeks. She's gotten her health under control in the past literally so many times with everything, by using doctors & hospitals as they're best used for when it comes to medical wellbeing of health(for their diagnostic resources and equipment), as a means of diagnosis or confirming a self diagnosis, then go the route of alternative, fringe, oppresed\suppressed, and particularly anything the professionally trained medical experts & authorities denounce as crackpot, dangerous, etc, she has for a very long time now always done her own research reading everything she could find in the libraries, and online(using the library computers) involving to do with the current health quest(s). She's always successfully completely beaten her illnesses, and wrought out manageable control over ongoing issues.
But whatever particulars that're causing her kidney failure is a new development and the answer isn't held by any of the supplements already being taken.... This time not only are the doctors clueless as to what is causing it, much less what to do about it, my mom also doesn't know, and she's 71 nowadays and she is just sooo wiped out by this, that shes barely able to focus enough to watch YouTube shorts, much less research anything extensively. I've been trying, but I don't have the same uncanny nack of seemingly being able to just put my openly grasping hand and have things zoom from the shelves and straight to my hand like a magnet and open to the exact page containing what is being sought. We got several new things to try at once in hopes of some kind of improvement or at least not worsening, but shes barely able to hold down any food, even water, and what she does just passes right on through pretty much undigested. Shed thought she started to notice maybe feeling a little improvement but hard to tell with all the weirdnesses she's feeling, but she has barely been able to take anything of the new, nor what she already takes... We've arranged to go to the hospital in the morning for an IV drip so she gets some hydration & nutrients in her.
This is pretty time critical, and we don't have the grace of time for me to research and through trial and error guess almost blindly on kidney supplements variously picked by hopeful wild guesses with crossed fingers. Nor is there money to throw around like that either, only bout round $100 or so for a budget.
So, I need 2 types of supplements suggestions:
1) nutritional supplements that may best help aid in digesting nutrition and holding things down.
&
2) kidney focused supplements, particularly of concerning reversing kidney failure.
I want to have a few ready for her to try when she gets home again in a few days.
