The premise is you supplement the low protein diet with amino acids that the body can use in place of what protein supplies without the kidneys having to be overloaded. I personally have delayed dialysis for 3 years on a 40 gram protein diet, based in part on advice from this book, but I'm not using amino acids yet. I also saw a nutritionist. None of my doctors, from Tufts to Mayo, suggested this dietary change, and expected me to require a transplant or dialysis long before this. I credit a low protein diet for slowing my kidney failure, but see my doctors as regularly as they require.. E. Hull said I felt compelled to write this after reading a few bad reviews.
