The Golden Era

I’ve seem to remember some sort of protocol here that was used to improve / help restore function. It involved quite a few supplements, but it seemed to get pretty good reviews from those who used it. If I get a minute, I’ll try and find it.

If anybody here can locate that protocol, or have it on file, that would be great.

So . . . it sounds like kidney function can improve (perhaps even return to normal) when you quit taking all that ibuprofen. I always thought damage done is damage done. Good to know.

If permanent damage is done it, that won't improve. Say you are taking shit ton of IB and assessment is made when kidneys are under major and constant stress. Removing the source of stress with improve function back to potential but if all that stress damaged it kidney, potential will be lower.

Define permanent.

Yes genes played a part.. but.. even Tom's doctor said the excessive painkillers are what brought kidney shutdown.. 15 a day for years is enough to bring healthy kidneys to their knees..

I always wondered how his GI system was able to handle such high NSAID use, you'd get 10 ulcers before the kidneys even give up

I think one of the reasons his overall food intake (not just protein) was shockingly low might because of exactly this. Just a hunch.
