    That six months or less idea should really change. Many doctors get it wrong they'll tell you you have 5 months to live and many people die within 3 weeks!! Also they should make it longer for people that have Dementia or Alzheimer's etcetera likes give them at least a year or less to live because when they actually are getting close to death then they don't have their faculties or they should let them sign something that says that they can take the medicine even if they don't have their faculties. I'm thinking they should raise it for everybody to like maybe eight months or less to live it plays it safer because of the miscalculations.

    Contrary to @onlinetruth’s claims, The majority of people with disabilities do NOT support assisted suicide! I have spent years moving in disability rights and disability studies circles. Opposition to assisted suicide is deeply ingrained in that community. You can pay for some stupid poll showing the opinions of a small, hand-selected group of people claiming to be disabled and claim that it shows the majority of disabled people support assisted suicide, but that’s just politics; that’s you making up your own narrative.

    Really? The medical team of specialists treating me managed to poke a hole thru my heart’s mitral valve during an unnecessary stint procedure in which the dye used compromised my kidneys with a 70% loss of function. I was then diagnosed with diabetes II. Insisting I take 8 prescription drugs, 5 of which listed SHORTNESS OF BREATH AS THE LEADING SIDE EFFECT, they managed to suffocate me for 15 months. The quality of life care I received was outright abusive. I was buried alive. Diagnosed with end stage CHF with a 3 month life left, I was intent on suicide-minute by minute struggle was inhumane . Came home and threw away every Rx in my home. 2 weeks later I took my first deep breath. 2 years later-sill have CHF, but haven’t let another Dr. torture me since. Not afraid to die, very much afraid of the Dr/Pharma monsters out there. HEALTH CARE IN THE U.S. IS CURRENTLY THE BIGGEST INDUSTRY, THE BIGGEST CHIUNK OF OUR GDP. A RACKETEERING-CRIMINALLY RUN MACHINE DIRECTED BY A HOST OF UNCONSCIONABLE MEGA FUNDS. Perhaps we’ll be able to opt for AI run medical treatment-robots beat compromised Dr.s EVERYDAY.

    These are the disability rights groups that oppose assisted suicide, NOT because of support for “paternalism,” but because assisted suicide exacerbates the oppression that disabled people face: The United Nations Special Rapporteur on The Rights of People with Disabilities American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today (ADAPT) Association of Programs for Rural Independent Living (APRIL) Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network (AWN) Disability Rights Center Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund (DREDF) Disability Section, American Public Health Association National Council on Disability (NCD) National Council on Independent Living (NCIL) National Organization of Nurses with Disabilities National Spinal Cord Injury Association Not Dead Yet (NDY) TASH The Arc of the United States United Spinal Association World Institute on Disability (WID) Also, Compassion and Choices has a history of partnering with people like Christopher Riddle and Thaddeus Mason Pope, both of whom favor expansive euthanasia and havr admitted that they think it’s ok for a few marginalized disabled people to die, so long as people can have the choice to kill themselves if they become disabled. Throughout history oppressors have used tokenism to undermine disenfranchised communities objections to policies that harm them. C &C will always be able to find a minority of disabled people who deviate from the general consensus on this issue, but legislators should not privilege their opinions over that of the United Nations, 17 national disability rights groups, a bevy of disability studies literature deconstructing why assisted suicide is harmful to persons with disabilities, etc.

      No, what your pal C&C wants is for people to blindly believe that they care about disability rights. These disability rights organizations that assert that assisted suicide exacerbates the abuse and marginalization faced by people with disabilities are run by people who have put themselves on the line for decades to fight for disability rights. Now C&C and similar groups create videos saying that they like disability rights too. It’s lazy and tokenistic. C&C’s agenda is part of a pattern of disabled people being marginalized and abused, and most people fighting for a better world for people with disabilities understand that. C&C doesn’t care about disability rights. It wants to use tokenism to obscure the fact that its agenda undermines the civic equality of a marginalized population.

    The most patients die because of the doctors have a ZEROOO pro active approach for their patients and have ZERO knowledge of nutrition and wait far and far to long to take action. Also when the EGFR is in the 60s and they see clearly a down trend still they are waiting and waiting. People if you have a low EGFR take action NOW , go on a full plant based diet and kick out all the fake factory food out of your house.

Is Epogen a good treatment and is there any other options? There are many other medical issues when a person is at stage 5 CKD.

    Not sure you'll see this - but my dad passed away due to heart failure but as a family we are very confused. My dad got back to pretty much normal, all symptoms had gone. Doctors told us he would live a normal life and were making arrangements for him to leave hospital, they never told us or my dad anything was seriously wrong. At 3pm he was absolutely fine, no symptoms and very happy. 5pm he was pronounced dead due to cardiac arrest. I have watched your video and none of what you say about somone dying with heart failure points towards anything my dad had. I am posting on here for info as all the care team have said to us is ''it can happen'' that is all we have bee told. We just want answers.

      A cardiac arrest is not necessarily caused by heart failure. It could be caused by a sudden arrhythmia where the heart beat gets out of sync and then stops. Or it could be caused by a heart attack where a blockage interferes with circulation of oxygenated to the heart muscle. Perhaps he was admitted for heart failure which they got under control and then one of these other problems occurred unexpectedly.

    For those of you who have lost hope on dialysis, know that your kidneys can make a full recovery without dialysis if you free the body up from the problem behavior. In other words, you weren’t born with kidney issues, so some habit you’ve created over the span of your lifetime has caused your kidneys to be affected the most. It’s not just your genes, because epidemics prove that environment determines gene expression. What are you eating and stressing about. My studies as a holistic nutritionist showed me that stress can affect hormones and hormones control every bodily function. Now, coupled with a diet laced with artificial colors, flavors, bioengineered food ingredients and too much animal flesh (protein) can cause liver toxicity and lead to kidney and eye issues. If you’re wearing glasses or have bad eyesight, chances are you need a liver detox. That alone will improve your kidneys. They don’t tell us that you can remove 2/3 of our kidneys and they will grow back in 5-7 days. We have regenerative properties that can reverse almost every disease. I wish you all the best and hope you look outside of western medicine for the answers that don’t exist there. Nature’s way has always been superior when it comes to long term recovery and quality of life. Watch a documentary called What the Health on Netflix or You Are What You Eat to learn more. If you’re ready for alternatives, go to www.nourishment101.com for a consultation with a natural healer.
