Helping a dog with stage 3 kidney disease?

Pets and Animals
#1

Hello all,

I found the ICES device on a fluke. I stumbled across the study on the cat (thank so much Bob and John for doing this!!) when researching if PEMF could help my dog (I brought him to an alternative vet and she was very kind and considerate and let me bring home a bemer mat to use with him; as I have a chronic illness myself).

Anyway I bought an M1 and overnighted it. He’s in stage 3 kidney failure which only gives him 110 - 200 days; but it seems like from the study and the other posts I’ve read on this forum that it can take a few months to see results?

What should I do to expedite him getting help? I just found PEMF wrap so I’m thinking I should wrap him in night so he can sleep in it and hopefully during the day but this might be difficult as he’s just a small boy (16lbs) and oddly shaped (an Italian greyhound).

Has anyone had success using the device when a dog or cat is this far along with kidney disease? Thank you.

Does your iggy have a jumper/light sweater that you could sew the M1 coils onto? and maybe sew on a little pocket for the unit itself?

That sounds like a really good idea, thank you! He has mostly tshirts but I’m hoping I can find him a jumper in his clothes somewhere (that still fits him) and get a tailor to sew some pockets onto his clothing. Thank you so so much!!

I forgot to add in my original post that we’ve also switched him to vegan. We found a book on kidney disease for humans that said the best diet was a vegan diet and then we stumbled across a vegan dog book where the author has had some success treating dogs that have my dogs condition.

I have seen many studies showing high amounts of niacinamide and thiamine can help stall progression of kidney disease.

FWIW, we did the same for our dog with gallbladder and liver disease and he lived 2 years extra in our opinion and passed at 14.5yrs. ICES PEMF was a blessing. Rooting for your pup!!!

Hello TajD,

Thank you so much!!

I just wanted to post an update here.

We’ve been using the M1 for 30 mins 3x daily (I know it’s a lot) and switched him to a vegan diet (there’s a book about stopping or reversing kidney disease for humans with a lot of research if they go on a vegan diet) and all of his numbers have been the same since he got sick. He seems to be stable (but unfortunately his numbers haven’t completely reversed. His urine in protein went down very very slightly). He has been diagnosed with lyme disease twice which is a highly underrated and a hell of a disease, but he looks and has been doing well. :slight_smile:

I wish people were more open to trying this treatment. I tried posting it on a facebook group for dogs with kidney disease and no one wanted to listen to me. Anyway, our fingers are crossed that our boy lives a long life. Thank you for all of the help from everyone here especially from the Bob and everyone who’s commented on this thread.

That is great news he seems to be stable! My only thought would be to, if you can, try the M1 for 8+ hours a day if not 24x7 over the kidneys.

Hi All,

I also found Flux Health/PEMF because of the same predicament—my 15 year old dog was just diagnosed with Stage 3 chronic kidney disease. We switched her to a prescription renal diet and added phosphate binders, she seems to be eating well and doesn’t appear to be in any discomfort. We’re also giving her 15 minutes of red light therapy a day and plan to add the ICE-PEMF to her regimen. I was hoping to get an update from the original poster and hear how things have been going and whether @TheLoveofMyLife or others have had success with specific protocols. Just purchased my M1 device and should be receiving it today, so I’m excited to get started. I have also purchased a recovery suit/onesie with a pocket and will try to sew in the coils so hopefully I can give her longer or consistent treatments.

Hi, I’m so so sorry about the delay in my response. My baby passed away from an aggressive form of cancer located on the spleen and I have been grieving him.

The best thing we did for him was put him on a vegan diet (I know this is going to get a lot of hate, but we used a canine nutritionalist and it’s the only thing that made his kidney numbers go in the normal range). You can research “kidney cure book” on Amazon to find the book used for humans that inspired us to try it. Theres also a vegan dog book on Amazon using the nutritionalist we used. We also did no grains which is best for the kidneys.

If you go to www.truthaboutpetfood.com you can read about how horribly toxic 99% animal “feed”/dog food is since it has a different classification as actual food. Rancid, rotten, old, diseased animal carcasses that were euthanized with poison which get passed to your pets and moldy grains are all permitted in dog food. We have another dog that has some health issues and we switched him to human grade dog food and he’s doing insanely better.

That website has a list of vetted dog & cat food & treat companies that they’ll give you for a fee. I choose to pay for it because we found out the company’s food we had been feeding our other dog was LYING about being 100% human grade (a brand called Harvey’s). They admitted in an email that their meats are not human grade, even though all of their marketing and website claims they’re purely human grade.

So sorry for your loss. Seems like you have the diet of your other dog well handled. For what it’s worth to others, I feed my dog a product called Volhard NDF2, which is a mix to which you add your own meat to make a balanced diet. So you are in control of what quality meat gets fed to your dog, without the hassle of creating a custom balanced recipe from scratch.
