alternative medical treatment for kidney dialysis patients

I want to know if there are any alternative medicine
doctors who have sucessfully treated kidney dialysis
patients with chelation therapy, HGH therapy and any
other types of treatment.
I have a relative who is a long term kidney dialysis
patient and has not received satisfactory medical
treatment from the conventional medical doctors.
I would appreciate receiving any information about
these alternative treatments.

Warren,

His conventional docs will say that chelation will further compromise his kidneys EVEN THOUGH THE ONLY STUDIES PUBLISHED SHOW THE OPPOSITE. However, I do not think that chelation would be the best thing to help his kidneys since FIRST the cause of his damage AND the extent of it will have to be known.

Kidneys do not regenerate like the liver does. The only thing he could do is to bring back to functionality the few kidney cells he still has that are not DEAD.

IF all of his cells are dead nothing known will bring them back.

Hope this helps.

Walt

have you seen a highly qualified doctor of traditional chinese medicine ? Not an acupuncturist, but a TCM doctor well versed in chinese dietotherapy, chinese herbs (rehmannia comes to mind for failing kidneys), acupuncture, and tunia. at least a few visits for consultation would be well worth the effort, because if you find a skilled doctor of traditional chinese medicine, she or he WILL be able to help.
