Lower back pain is a common signs of kidney disease. When people feel that
they have lower back pain, they think it is kidney problem. Is lower back pain
indicating kidney problem? The experts in Beijing Yumei Kidney Disease Hospital
tell us:
Patients with kidney disease often have lower back pain. For example, when
patients have Acute Pyelonephritis, kidney emboli, Obstructive Kidney Disease,
rapid enlargement of kidney and suppurative inflammation around kidneys, they
will appear violent lower back pain. But not all patients with kidney problem
will have this symptom, such as Acute and Chronic Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome
and so on, they often just have slight discomfort or soreness of waist; few of
them appear violent lower back pain. In addition, other disease can also lead to
lower back pain, such as lumbar muscle strain, lumbar hyperosteogeny, lumber
sprain and women’s pelvic lesions (pelvic inflammation, annexitis and so on). So
not all lower back pains are indicating kidney problem. Patients should go to
hospital to take examination to confirm the reason.

How to Protect Our Kidneys in Daily Life?
If people want to have a long life, normal kidneys are the key points. But
what should we do to protect our kidneys in daily life? The expert will give us
some suggestions:
1. The diet should be light and digestive. Don’t eat too much food with high proteins and sodium; appropriately control the salt and protein intake. The recent research indicates that excessive salt is a risk factor for many diseases, especially the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It is considered in Traditional Chinese Medicine that in five flavors (sour, sweet, bitter, hot and salty), the salt passes through the kidneys. The proper salt can nourish the kidneys, but excessive salt will injury them. The ideal salt intake is 6 g/d. High protein diet can speed up the kidney damage, especially for elder people.
2. Don't drink much water. The daily urine volume should be about 1500-2000ml. and the plain boiled water is advocated.
3. Quit smoking and drinking
4. Avoid infection. For elder people with kidney insufficiency, once they have infection, they will appear further kidney injury, and even threat life. So elder people should strengthen the daily exercise and prevent all kinds of infection.
5. Have a regular physical examination, especially urine test, kidney function test, because early detection will be helpful for treating all kidney diseases.
6. Try to avoid using or just use less renal toxin drugs. The common renal toxin drugs include: gentamicin, streptomycin and such aminoglycoside antibiotics, anti-tuberculosis rifampin, sulfonamides and contrast medium. People should try to avoid using them. If it must be used, people should be under doctor’s guidance. And people should try to avoid or reduce contacting the renal toxin.

Kidney Disease Examination -- Ultrasound B
Ultrasound B is a kind of equipment which is using ultrasonic transmission
technology and ultrasonic image diagnosis technology. It applies to ultrasonic
reflection theory. It has been popular to use Ultrasound B check kidneys in
clinical practice. It has the advantages of no damage, and safe application. It
can display renal capsula, parenchyma, pelvis and such tissues and structures.
In addition, it can accurately locate kidney position and measure kidney size,
judge the tumor in or out kidneys, as well as cystic lesion. When patients check
kidneys, there is no special preparation. Currently, the Ultrasound B can find
the following problems:
1. Observing kidney size, shape and location, measuring the thickness of renal cortex and medulla, as well as echo intensity: when the kidneys are normal, the shape and size are normal, and the echo of renal cortex is even; when kidneys appear diffuse and material lesion, the echo may be abnormal. Ultrasound B can also differentiate Acute and Chronic Kidney Failure.
2. Diagnosing Kidney Cysts and Hydronephrosis: Because ultrasound has a strong reflection for fluid, in the Ultrasound B screen, the fluid will show even gray. If patients have cysts and hydronephrosis, through Ultrasound B, it can find the size and numbers of cysts and the degree of hydronephrosis.
3. Differentiating kidney mass: through Ultrasound B, the mass is less obvious than hydronephrosis, but the size, numbers and location of tumor is better.
4. Transplanted kidney: it is a ideal method to check kidney condition with Ultrasound B after kidney transplantation. For example, the sudden kidney enlargement indicates acute rejection; the capacity of pelvis and calyce increasing indicates obstruction; at the late period, patients appearing blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine increasing and kidney enlargement indicates rejection; kidney shrinking indicates kidney atrophy.
5. Kidney stone: If patients have kidney stone, it can find that spot or mass echo and sound shadow at the back in the screen of Ultrasound.
6. Congenital kidney adnormality: such as unilateral kidney agenesis, ectopic kidney, double kidney, horse-shoe kidney and kidney dysplasia, all these abnormalities can show different characteristic ultrasonic images.
7. Kidney puncture positioning: through Ultrasound B, it can look for the ideal puncture point and deepth, also observe whether there is bleeding after puncturing. So, all kidney biospies are processing with the help of Ultrasound B, which can guarante the safety of kidney biopsy.

Seven Early Signs for Chronic Kidney Disease
Some people always think his or her body is well, but when they go to
hospital due to some visible discomfort, they will be diagnosed with Uremia, and
also accompanying with serious complications. Actually, most of Uremia cases are
from early Chronic Kidney Disease progression, because of the latent onset for
Chronic Kidney Disease. However, how can we know Chronic Kidney Disease at the
early stage? Here, the experts in our hospital summarized several early signs
for Chronic Kidney Disease:
1. Swelling in the eyelid or face in the morning.
When the swelling becomes serious, it will pass to ankles, legs and lower back. Commonly, these symptoms will be worsening after heavy labor and relieving after having a break.
2. Foam in the urine for a long time.
It indicates that there are a large amount of proteins in the urine.
3. Urine color change.
The normal urine color is like beer. If the urine color is like strong tea or soy color, people should go to hospital to have a urine examination.
4. Blood pressure is increasing.
Some people have high blood pressure for a long time, and they haven’t been aware of dizziness and headache. Only through measuring it, they can judge the blood pressure.
5. Unknown waist pain
6. Too much or too less urine volume.
For healthy people, the urine volume is 1500 ml/d, and 4-8 times every day. If without the condition of fever, much sweating and drinking, the urine volume is sudden increasing or decreasing, people should go to see doctor as soon as possible.
7. Nocturia(urination during night).
Usually, people at the age of below 60 years old have no nocturia. If young people have increasing nocturia, it is possibly the early signs of poor kidney function.

What are the symptoms of Alport Syndrome?
Alport Syndrome always affects the kidneys. Many people with Alport Syndrome also have hearing problems and abnormalities of the eyes, because the type IV collagen proteins are important to the normal structure and function of the inner ear and the eye.
Kidneys: The central feature of the disease is the presence of blood in the urine (hematuria). Boys with X-linked Alport Syndrome develop hematuria in infancy, and it is always present. The great majority of girls with X-linked Alport Syndrome also have hematuria, but it may come and go The hematuria of Alport Syndrome is usually microscopic, meaning it can only be detected with a microscope or a urine dipstick. Sometimes children with Alport Syndrome have brown, pink or red urine ( gross hematuria) for several days, brought on by a cold or the flu. This gross hematuria will go away on its own and while it may be frightening, it is not harmful.
As boys with Alport Syndrome grow, they begin to show other signs of kidney disease, including protein in the urine and high blood pressure. These symptoms are often present by the time the boys are teen-agers. Girls with Alport Syndrome usually do not have protein in the urine and high blood pressure until much later in life, but occasionally these symptoms appear in teen-aged girls with Alport Syndrome.
Ears:Deafness is another important feature of Alport Syndrome. About 80% of boys with Alport Syndrome will develop deafness at some point in their lives, often by the time they are teen-agers. The deafness affects both ears. Fortunately, hearing aids are usually very effective in these people. Girls with Alport Syndrome may also develop deafness, but less frequently than boys, and usually later in life. Kidney transplantation does not improve the deafness of Alport Syndrome.
Eyes:About 15% of men with Alport Syndrome have an abnormality in the shape of the lens called anterior lenticonus. People with anterior lenticonus may have some problems with their vision, and may develop cataracts.

Causes of Membranous Nephropathy
Membranous nephropathy is caused by the thickening of part of the glomerular basement membrane. The glomerular basement membrane is a part of the kidneys that helps filter waste and extra fluid from the blood. The exact reason for this thickening is not known.
The thicker glomerular membrane does not work normally. Large amounts of protein are lost in the urine as a result.
This condition is one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome. It may be a primary kidney disease, or it may be associated with other conditions.
The following increase your risk for this condition:
Cancers, especially lung and colon cancer
Exposure to toxins, including gold and mercury
Infections, including hepatitis B, malaria, syphilis, and endocarditis
Medicines, including penicillamine, trimethadione, and skin-lightening creams
Systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Graves' disease, and other autoimmune disorders
The disorder occurs in about 2 out of every 10,000 people. It may occur at any age, but is more common after age 40.

What is the Function of Natural Immune Balance Therapy?
1.To improve kidney function: medicine of activating blood circulation and eliminating stasis can improve the renal blood circulation, relieve hypercoagulable state, promote the absorption of fibrous tissue. And may some of obsolete nephrons at different levels; and TCM of Cordyceps Sinensis can really improve the kidney function, and has been used to the treatment of Renal Insufficiency and even Uremia.
2. To regulate immunity: all tonics, blood-activating drugs and heat-clearing and detoxicating drugs in Chinese medicine can increase the phagocytic function of reticuloendothelial system. Some of the Chinese medicine have the bidirectional regulating function in immunity. Chinese antirheumatic medicine has the anti-allergic function, especially the Common threewingnut root has a good efficacy for Glomerulonephritis. According to the research, this drug can restrain the forming of immune complexes, and relieve the glomerular’s inflammation.
3. To excrete metabolic waste: For example, Rheum can accelerate excretion of urea nitrogen and creatinine and then relieve Azotemia.
4. Diuresis : Traditional Chinese medicine has a good diuretic function. Such as: Grifola, Poria Cocos, Rhizoma Alismatis, Plantain, Lysimachia, Chinese Lobelia and so on used together with some mild kidney medicine may have a good effect in promoting Diuresis. Research suggested that mild kidney medicine may improve kidney’s blood flow, and increase glomerular filtration rate. And water-disinhibiting medicine can reduce the reabsorption of kidney tubules. So these two kinds of medicine used together can promote diuresis.

The Diet Precautions of Patients with Polycystic Kidney Dise
Polycystic Kidney Disease means numerous cysts on the kidneys. It is a common
genetic kidney disease. Its general treatment is diet nursing. For the diet
precautions, expert points out two aspects: something harmful food and something
helpful food.
The harmful food includes:
1. Alcoholic beverage: especially liquor. Patients with PKD should give up
drinking. Because the liquor has a serious irritation for kidneys. And also, it
can irritate the protein activity of polycysts and accelerate the cyst
growth
2. Lacto-fermented foods: the lacto-fermented food refers to the fungus fermentation food, such as soy cheese, rotten eggs. Avoiding eating these foods will slow down the cyst growth.
3. High protein food: for all kidney disease, patients should have a low protein diet to avoid synthesizing nitrogen metabolism, which can reduce the kidneys’ excretion, such as soybean, tofu and other bean products
4. Animals’ internal organs: the cooked food of animals’ internal organs is not suitable for patients with PKD, particularly the animals’ liver. Because much toxin are left over the liver and kidneys, especially in the liver because of its function of detoxifying. If patients eat this, it will overload kidney’s burden and worsen the condition.
5. Forbid coffee and chocolate.
The helpful food includes:
1. Fruit and vegetables with high vitamin
2. Fruit and vegetables with rich ferrum, such as carrot
3. Vegetables that can dissolve the stones such as black fungus
4. Food with the diuresis ability
5. Base-forming food can assist the treatment
The harmful food includes:
1. Alcoholic beverage: especially liquor. Patients with PKD should give up
drinking. Because the liquor has a serious irritation for kidneys. And also, it
can irritate the protein activity of polycysts and accelerate the cyst
growth2. Lacto-fermented foods: the lacto-fermented food refers to the fungus fermentation food, such as soy cheese, rotten eggs. Avoiding eating these foods will slow down the cyst growth.
3. High protein food: for all kidney disease, patients should have a low protein diet to avoid synthesizing nitrogen metabolism, which can reduce the kidneys’ excretion, such as soybean, tofu and other bean products
4. Animals’ internal organs: the cooked food of animals’ internal organs is not suitable for patients with PKD, particularly the animals’ liver. Because much toxin are left over the liver and kidneys, especially in the liver because of its function of detoxifying. If patients eat this, it will overload kidney’s burden and worsen the condition.
5. Forbid coffee and chocolate.
The helpful food includes:
1. Fruit and vegetables with high vitamin
2. Fruit and vegetables with rich ferrum, such as carrot
3. Vegetables that can dissolve the stones such as black fungus
4. Food with the diuresis ability
5. Base-forming food can assist the treatment
How Much Do You Know the Diet Precautions for Lupus Nephrit
Diet, as one of the important factors for treating kidney diseases, has many
precautions for different patients with different diseases. However, what diet
is suitable for patients with Lupus Nephritis?
Experts in Yumei Kidney Disease Hospital point out:
1. Patients with Lupus Nephritis should not eat or eat less food that enhance
the light sensitivity, such as figs, milk vetch, rape, mud snail and celery. If
eating these foods, patients should avoid exposing under the sunshine. Fungi
such as mushroom, champignon, food dyes and tobacco will induce the systemic
lupus erythematosus, so it should be avoid.
2. Patients with Lupus Nephritis should eat high quality protein diet. For the patients with kidney damage, they will lose large amounts of proteins into the urine, and result in hypoproteinemia. So they should supply enough high quality protein, such as milk, soy products, eggs, lean, fish and so on.
3. Patients with lupus nephritis should have a low lipid diet. They often have a little activity and a poor digestive function, so they should eat some light and digestible food, and try to avoid fry food containing much lipid.
4. Patients with Lupus Nephritis should have a low sugar diet. Because of long time glucocorticoid treatment, patients are easy to have steroid diabetes and Cushing syndrome. On this occasion, patients should control the appetite, eat less high sugar food.
6. Patients with Lupus Nephritis should have a low salt diet. Patients using
corticoid or with kidney injury are easy to cause water and sodium retention,
resulting in swelling. So they should have a low salt diet.
7. Patients with Lupus Nephritis should supply more calcium to prevent Osteoporosis and eat much vegetables and fruit containing rich vitamin.
In the whole, patients with lupus nephritis should have a low lipid, low sugar, low salt and high quality protein diet, which is helpful for patients’ health and recovery.

The Common Renal Toxin Drugs
In clinical practice, many drugs can affect kidneys. The common renal toxin
drugs are including:
1. Antibiotic: 1. Aminoglycosides antibiotics: such as streptomycin, neomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, amikacin, tobramycin, paromomycin and so on.2. Cephalosporin: cephalosporin II; (3) polymyxin: mainly polymyxin B; (4) amphotericin B; 5. Tetracyclines: tetracycline, declomycin, oxytetracycline and doxycycline; 6. Sulfonamides; 7. rifampicin.
2. Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs: such as acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, butazodine, diclofenac and indometacin and piroxicam usp and so on.
3. Antineoplastic drugs: such as cisplatin, carmustine, amethopterin, streptozocin,L-asparaginase, mitomycin, mithramycin.
4. Biological products: 1. Bacterin or vaccine made by microbiology; 2. Toxoid made by microbiology metabolic products; 3. Antitoxin or blood preparation made from human or animal blood; 4. Bacterial liquid or serum using in diagnosis.
5. Painkillers: such as morphine, dolantin and so on. Many painkillers contain phenacetin which is a renal toxin medicine. And aspirin in the painkillers will strengthen its renal toxin.
6. Vitamin: mainly Vitamin D, Vitamin A.
7. Other renal toxin substance: heroin, contrast agent and chemical substance such as mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), gold, aluminum, silver, ferrum and such metal or heavy metal, organic solvent ethylene glycol, carbon tetrachloride, antiepileptics and anti-hyperuricosuria drugs and so on.
After knowing the renal toxin drugs, people with kidney damage should following the doctor's advice, and choose the correct treatment for kidney problem. Try to avoid taking the renal toxic drugs.

How do we solve hyperkalemia in kidney failure?
The risk factors affecting the development of renal failure
1. Acute worsening risk factor is mainly composed of the cumulative renal diseases (such as primary glomerular nephritis, hypertension, diabetes) recurrence or worse.
2. Insufficient blood volume (hypotension, dehydration, massive bleeding or shock, etc.)
3. Kidney local blood flow decreased dramatically (such as renal artery stenosis patients using ACEI and ARB drugs)
4 .Serious failed to control the high blood pressure
5. Nephrotoxicity drugs
6 .Urinary tract obstruction
7. Severe infection
8 .Hypercalcemia, severe hepatic insufficiency.Comprehensive the above factors, insufficient blood volume and reduced local blood supply lead to renal hypoperfusion, low filtration, is the main cause of a sharp deterioration in renal function.For a sharp deterioration in renal function in chronic renal failure course, such as processing timely and properly, may make the illness has a certain degree of reversal, and prevent the development of the disease.In everyday life many risk factors affecting the development of renal failure can be avoided, but have a plenty of inevitable in our life, a lot of the details of the life casual likely will lead to kidney failure, how to protect the renal function, avoid kidney failure, more details

Why are fruits and fruit juices bad for patients with Chronic kidney disease?
Patients with CKD should pay attention to the intake of fluid.
FLUID RESTRICTION
There is usually no restriction in the amount of fluids you can drink until severe kidney disease (Stage 4 or 5) is reached. The amount of urine your kidneys can make will usually not decrease until it is almost time to begin dialysis. It is called “kidney failure” because eventually the kidneys fail to make urine.
PHOSPHORUS
Phosphorus is a mineral found in almost all foods. Normal kidneys will balance the amount of phosphorus in our bodies. However, when the kidneys fail to eliminate this in the urine, the phosphorus will increase in the blood. High phosphorus foods will need to be limited and/or avoided. A medication called a phosphate binder (such as Oscal, Phoslo and Tums) may be ordered by your physician to be taken every time you eat. This medication will bind the phosphorus in the food and eliminate it in the stool. Control of phosphorus is very difficult for kidney disease patients. Ignoring this problem can lead to bone disease with pain in the back and joints.
High phosphorus foods to eliminate are:
Milk (any kind) - Start learning to use a milk substitute like Cremora (powdered) or Coffeemate (liquid) - Beans (red, black, white), Black Eyed Peas, Lima Beans, Nuts, Chocolate, Yogurt, Cheese, Liver, Sardines, Desserts made with milk
ANEMIA
Healthy kidneys make a hormone that helps make red blood cells. One of the symptoms of kidney disease is anemia, which causes weakness, tiredness and shortness of breath. Your kidney doctor may give you an injection called “Procrit.” This may help improve your anemia. The doctor may also order iron injections because in order to make red blood cells, you will need enough iron. Unfortunately, in some people the special diet will not provide enough iron and iron pills would be taken.
VITAMINS
Diseases of the heart and blood vessels remain the number one health problem in the U.S. Recently, a new risk factor has been identified in kidney disease patients. It is an amino acid called homocysteine. Over 75 percent of dialysis patients have increased homocysteine levels. Too much homocysteine in the blood has been found to be associated with increased risk of heart disease, stroke and blood vessel disease. Studies have shown that homocysteine levels in the blood are strongly influenced by these specific vitamins: Folic Acid, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6. The American Heart Association has indicated that a reasonable therapeutic goal should be less than 10 micromoles per liter. Ask your kidney doctor if you should be taking a special vitamin to help prevent high levels of homocysteine.
DIABETICS
Since about 40 percent of all kidney disease patients are diabetic, it is important to know about good control of your blood sugar. There is a special blood test called a “hemoglobin A1C.” This test tells what your blood sugars have been in the past two to three months. The normal range is 4.5 to 6.0 percent. Poor control of blood sugar contributes to the progression of your kidney disease. Be sure to ask your doctor how you are doing with blood sugar control. It may be necessary to be referred to a diabetes educator for help.

I Am At 12% Kidney Function, But I Feel Fine. What Should I Do
If a patient only has 12% kidney function left, but there is no obvious symptom in his body, what should he do to deal with his condition? As we know, how much kidney function is left for patient with kidney disease is defined according to his glomerular filtration rate (GFR). And for patient who has 12% kidney function left, his GFR is about 15ml/min. Which means his is in stage 5 kidney failure.

I Am Going To Undergo Dialysis Soon. What Am I Facing
Dialysis is a kidney replacement therapy. For patient who is in the end stage of kidney failure, there will be much wastes and toxins accumulating in his blood, and to keep his health, he will be recommended to accept dialysis. Dialysis is an effective way to prolong patient’s lifetime, but there are some aspects that is worthing considering before patient accepting dialysis.

Does Foams In Urine Indicate Kidney Failure
Patient with kidney disease may have a lot of worry if he find he has foams in his urine, because that may be a indication of kidney failure. Does foams in urine always indicate kidney failure? Why does patient with kidney disease has foams in urine? It is necessary for patient to have a better understanding about this aspect.

What should be the Diet plan for kidney patients?
A daily diet containing the following mineral ingredients should be
strictly maintained:Potassium:
Around 90% of the potassium consumed through our diet is removed by the kidney. The normal level ofpotassium intake is 3.5-5.0 mEq/L so anything higher than that must be avoided. But in the patients having stage 5 CKD, it becomes difficult to remove the potassium from the body as kidney loses its functions altogether. So, controlling potassium is very important. Mostly, we consume potassium through milk, yogurt; fruits like avocado, kiwis, oranges, papayas, banana, cantaloupe; Legumes - nuts; vegetables like beans, potatoes, tomatoes, spinach and fellow leafy vegetables, sweet potato and animal protein. Potassium-based salt products, winter vegetable juices and squash should also be strictly avoided.
Sodium:
Kidney diseases and salt are almost synonymous. Higher the salt intake, higher the risk of the CKD, high blood pressure and heart disease. Hence a large amount of sodium intake must be restricted. Canned food, pickles, smoked meat, some frozen foods, processed cheese, packed chips, junk food and crackers must also be avoided. Develop a habit of reading the labels to get to know the level of sodium in the products we are consuming. Less than 5 mg sodium per serving is sufficient to stay healthy.
Protein:
The limit on protein intake is 0.75g per kilogram of one's total body weight, except for those suffering from haemodialysis. One must consume enough protein to keep oneself healthy but not in excess. Mainly meat, fish and dairy products are the sources of protein. Edibles such as eggs, beef, cheese, bran breads, nuts and vegetable also contain a high amount of protein.
Phosphorus:
Phosphorus consumption for normal people as well as for people with CKD non-dialysis is 2.7 to 4.6 mg/dL. For CKD dialysis patients the target range is 3.5 to 5.5 mg/dL. Anything more than that must be reduced. Poor maintenance of phosphorus can lead to not only total kidney failure but also to bone diseases and heart troubles. Dairy products, nuts and beans (the main sources of phosphorus) and drinks and beverages like cocoa, cold drinks and beer must be avoided.
Fluids:
Consumption of fluids is essential for normal people but for a patient of CKD, fluid intake must be watched. More than 48 fl oz (1.4 L) of fluids a day must be avoided. What are fluids? Edible things that are liquid at room temperature are known as fluids. e. g. soups, ice creams, Jell-O, etc. Over-consumption of such fluids can increase the level of phosphorus. Some fruits like apples, orange, grapes and vegetables like lettuce also contain a lot of water. So, avoid such fruits.
Now what must one eat with such dietary limits or restrictions? Following are some useful tips to follow:
•Vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, bean sprouts, cucumber, lettuce, asparagus, mustard greens, green beans, eggplant; white rice, corn cereals, popcorn and fish like tuna, catfish, swordfish, codfish, mahi fish should be consumed for a healthy diet.
•Use phosphorus binders such as calcium acetate (PhosLo), calcium carbonate (Caltrate and Tums) or sevalemer hydrochloride (Renagel) when necessary. But with proper prescription from your doctor.
•Never change any food pattern or your diet program without proper consultation with your doctor.
•It's important to have routine medical checkups and keeping a track of the recent changes that occur.
•Proper medication and exercise is a must.
•Smoking and alcohol consumption must be reduced, and preferably completely avoided.
•No meals should be skipped. Avoid taking huge meals at a time and divide meals into a 4-times a day pattern.
•Lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels must be maintained and observed time to time.
•Last and most important, is keeping your mind healthy and motivated which has the greatest power to cure any disease.
Do the following:
Do not sleep for at least 2 hours after a meal. This is most important.
First 2 days
Drink 3 glasses of water before each meal. So total should be 9 glasses a day. Stop all other liquids.
For example if you take lunch at 2.00 pm, take 1 glass each at 12.30, 1.00 and 1.30 pm. Some deviations from suggested times are ok.
Do not drink water after 7 PM.
Next 2 days
Reduce water intake to 6 glasses day. 2 Glasses before each meal.
Next 2 days
Reduce water intake to 3 glasses day. 1 Glasses before each meal.
Next 2 days
Drink 1 glass of water in the entire day.
Next
Repeat week 3 and week 4 again and again.
