Dr. Ray’s Notes:
Kidney damage is a major complication of diabetes and can result in poor quality of life and ultimately death if left to progress. Conventional medicine uses medications like ACE Inhibitors to slow the progression of kidney damage, however, the medications are only modestly effective and can leave the patient with side effects. Thiamine appears to be effective without causing side effects. In addition to thiamine, omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil and activated coenzyme Q10 are also important parts of any kidney protection program.
