Coping with Kidney Disease: A 12-Step Treatment Program to Help You Avoid Dialysis
Author: Betsy Thorp
A revolutionary program that can indefinitely postpone the need for dialysis
If you’ve been diagnosed with kidney failure, this book could save your life. If you suffer from diabetes, hypertension, obesity, or any of a host of conditions that put you at risk for kidney disease, you owe it to yourself to read what is in this book. If you are among the 60,000 North Americans who go on dialysis each year, the information in this book could substantially improve your quality of life.
In Coping with Kidney Disease, a leading expert tells you, in plain English, what you need to know to:
• Understand kidney failure
• Recognize early warning signs of kidney failure
• Get a proper diagnosis
• Talk with your doctors about it
• Confidently evaluate treatment options
• Take charge of your treatment
• Delay dialysis or even avoid the need for it altogether
The centerpiece of Coping with Kidney Disease is Dr. Walser’s revolutionary 12-step program for avoiding dialysis. Based on treatments he has pioneered with his own patients at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the program calls for a supplemented low-protein diet supported by treatments to control blood pressure and correct high cholesterol. So effective has this breakthrough strategy proven to be that in many patients it actually worked to slow or arrest the progression of kidney failure to the end stage.
Knowledge is power. Coping with Kidney Disease empowers you with what you need to take charge of kidney disease.

Fans of Frances Mayes's Under the Tuscan Sun will enjoy this fish-out-of-water story of a sudden homeowner in a strange land. This time it's a food writer from New York City who follows the whim of her husband in buying a broken-down ranch in Colorado to use as their summer home. Despite what she describes as serious misgivings, she goes along with her husband's idea of living close to the land. Initially, Bone packs in excessive quantities of expensive imported food fancy olive oil, Italian salami so that her family can eat in their usual way. But as she gradually tries more locally produced items and begins to hunt and grow her own food, she develops a strong connection to her new home and its people: "I have come to love this place, for its restorative powers, its beauty, and what it has taught me about living." But this is not just a memoir; Bone includes more than 100 recipes that use local meat and produce, and many dishes are adapted from old favorites, such as Elk Stroganoff or Macaroni and Cheese garnished with onion grass instead of chives. The satisfying story and delicious recipes will appeal to a variety of readers. Recommended for most public libraries. Julie James, Forsyth Cty. P.L., NC Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
