Good morning Dr. Vikram.
Good morning.
There are many patients who come to you clinic with the complaint of kidney failure.
Will you please tell us about the main causes of kidney failure?
The main causes for Kidney failure in majority of cases are Diabetes & Blood pressure.
Chronic diabetes, when persists for a long period of time
and it becomes unable to control it, like for the 15 or 20 years.
Then usually most of the people suffer from kidney failure and Nephropathy problem.
Sometimes the blood pressure remains silent, in young age and the person remains unaware of this.
Some patients are quite young, you can say 30, 35, 40.
In kidneys failure, the creatinine level goes up and they remains unaware of this.
When they get it tested in a lab, the level comes quite high.
Ok, Nowadays, we are getting to hear that modern lifestyle is a cause which is also responsible for kidney failure.
Instead of modern lifestyle, the most common reason for kidney failure is that nowadays people go to the gym.
Bye chance, today, Harpreet Singh has come to meet me from Ludhiana.
I was shocked to hear his history that neither he has blood pressure, nor he had diabetes,
and is just 38 years old.
The main reason was to take supplements or get injected mainly, with protein supplements in the gym.
This culture of taking the protein supplements should be stopped.
We should take natural things like natural diet
as in the ancient times of Mahabharata & Ramayana there used to be body builders, massive wrestlers.
At that time they never took these kinds of supplements.
Do the exercise.
God has provided us with all the organs in our body
such as Liver, which is a factory which can even convert milk into building good muscles,
it has all the proteins and Amino acids, You can take milk.
Yes, Sir.
Eat simple and natural food, it has everything and do the exercise.
Don’t waste on being injected, or take whey proteins, even I am not in the favor of soy protein.
Because proteins should be taken in the body, in certain amount
If taken excessively it will only damage the kidneys, in your body.
Mr. Harpreet, I would like to take your experience for my viewers
that how did you suffered from the kidney failure, at such a young age.
I am Harpreet Singh from Ludhiana.
I came here for my routine body checkup
when I got to know that my Creatinine level has risen and I got it checked.
What was the reason?
I got to know that the reason was for the rise in Creatinine level was the Gym.
Ok
I don’t have any other disease,
at all but when you visit the gym and see another person doing any kind of exercise,
you try to follow him and to do better than that person.
To follow his procedure, you ask him that what he is taking.
And he answers that he is taking some supplements like Deca-Durabol,
then there is Anabol, and Dexamethasone, which are steroids.
All are steroids.
Were these supplements in the form of capsules or injections?
Neubig  is a testosterone capsule I took injection of Lendrol, Deca, etc.
For how many years did you have them?
For 2, 3 years, I took the injections and one comes in the form of sample dose like Menabol tablets, I also took that.
What about your instructor at the gym, didn’t he forbid you from taking this?
No he didn't, Actually, I asked him that should I take it or not.
He said that it's your choice, I have not suggested you to take it.
I said if you allow me to take this.
He knew that it is harmful but he don't forbid and tell us that the choice is my own,
take it or  not, I am not forbidding you.
I would like to give them a message that just rely on natural products and do not take steroids.
Mainly it is the steroids that have created my problem.
Neither I have high blood pressure, nor I have sugar,
and I have no other problem, but only the creatinine keeps rising.
What is your creatinine level, now?
It is 9.
At 9 commonly, dialysis is recommended.
Yes, I underwent dialysis did happen a year ago and one happened,
15 days back so I saw about you on net and thought of meeting you.
Dr. Vikram sir, I would like to ask you that so many people go to the gym
and they feel that they should take tonics,
but in our Ayurveda and even in our lifestyle,
some things are going on, since the ancient times,
please guide something about that to our viewers.
Ayurveda has many herbs like Ashwagandha, Gokshura, Shatavari, there are many herbs.
Ashwagandha churna helps in building body & muscles,
then there is Bala Churna which is also good.
So, there is Ashwagandha, Gokshura, Shatavari, Kaunch, Bala Churna
and other many herbs are there in Ayurveda which are very beneficial in gaining weight.
So, now his creatinine level is 9
and these kinds of patients who are neither diabetic nor hypertensive,
so what treatment options are available for them, in Ayurveda?
For people with kidneys failure,
whose creatinine level has been raised to 9 or 10,
which might be due to blood pressure or sugar or due to going to the gym.
Basically it has increased the load of the kidney.
There are many natural herbs for it,
like there is an herb called Punarnava,
I use this herb, and it brings down the creatinine level and improves the urine retention problem.
Then there is one Gokshura, Kasni is also there,
then you have Varuna, which is very good,
which I recommend and has given the place of "God of water"
and I use the bark of the Varuna tree’s,
I also use Varunadi vati so bark of Varun tree is very useful in this condition.
So there are Varuna, Punarnava Gokshura and Kasni, these type of herbs which give good results.
Thank you Dr. Vikram.
Harpreet ji, if you give a suggestion or some message to our viewers
so that they do not suffer from such type of problems.
All I need to say is that anyone who is known to me and anyone who is watching this video,
I beg to say with my folded hands that if you need to do any exercise,
take natural supplements and not follow your opponents or others, just rely on your natural diet.
Very well and thank you.
Thank you Vikram Sir.
Thank you !!
