Ending dialysis without a kidney transplant.
Welcome to KidneyRecovery.net.
My name is Jack H. Rothwell, and I created this website to tell the world how I ended IgA nephropathy (ESRD) & 9 months of kidney dialysis
without receiving a kidney transplant. |
Several pages on this website are dedicated to my theory, or hypothesis, of why I recovered from irreversible kidney failure (please visit "In My Opinion" on navigation bar to the left).Also, for a look at WHY I think "vinegar" helped my kidneys recover -- visit the "Traditional Chinese Medicine" web page on navigation bar to the left. I also have to explain that without my new "Miracle InSync ICD", working almost unoticed since June 2001 when it was implanted, I would NOT have the health I have today.
The miracle Insync ICD, in my opinion, has turned out to be better than the heart transplant I would have received had my kidneys not gone south. It can't be proven at this time, but I do believe the Insync ICD probably played an important part in the recovery of my kidney failure. More information is avaliable on the "Medtronic" page.

NEWS UPDATE * * * 8 years and counting
We have past that magical date that set me free from dialysis. August 22, 2010, ended 8 full years in which I have not had to endure a dialysis treatment. I say this because I am trying to make dialysis staff, nurses, nephrologists, dialysis patients, and others interested in kidney failure -- realize there are other people, like myself, who actually have had their "native kidneys" recover from end stage renal disease (irreversible kidney failure).
NO TRANSPLANT, thank you, just plain "native kidney recovery".
Now, what needs to be done -- is to find out why I haven't gone back on dialysis, like dozens of medical staff said would happen.
Read this web site and help discover the answer to that question.

To date, there is no known treatment other than a kidney transplant to stop dialysis!!

--------- Until Now --------- |
--------- Please READ the next chapter for starters ---------
|
| This website was not born to suggest using vinegar in place of seeking competent medical advice. However, you will discover while exploring the different web pages, that renowned physicians have recommended vinegar for a wide variety of ailments for many centuries.
Also, on this site you will find my story of kidney recovery as well as my opinions about current medical treatments.
I am trying to inform Dialysis patients of my recovery - For free!
BUT, donations are accepted

A little known fact about Einstein: While working furiously on his "thought experiments" that smashed through the limits of established physics which lead him to his theory of relativity -- Einstein said. "Imagination is more important than knowledge," along with "The important thing is to not stop questioning." -- Source, Sunday Oregonian, April 17, 2005 - pg A6 |

"You're Studying Dirt"
Dr. Judah Folkman keeps a reproduction of a 1903 New York Times article in his archives. In it two physics professors explain why airplanes could not possibly fly. The article appeared just three months before the Wright brothers split the air at Kitty Hawk.
In the early 1970's, Folkman proposed an idea in cancer research that did not fit what scientists "knew" to be true: that tumors did not generate new blood vessels to "feed" themselves and grow. He was convinced that they did. But colleagues kept telling him, "You're studying dirt," meaning his project was futile science.
Folkman disregarded the catcalls of the research community. For two decades, he met with disinterest or hostility as he pursued his work in angiogenesis, the study of the growth of new blood vessels. At one research convention, half the audience walked out. "He's only a surgeon," he heard someone say.
But he always believed that his work might help stop the growth of tumors, and might help find ways to grow blood vessels where they were needed -- like around clogged arteries in the heart.
Folkman and his colleagues discovered the first angiogenesis inhibitors in the 1980s. Today more than 100,000 cancer patients are benefiting from research he pioneered. His work is now recognized as being on the forefront in the fight to cure cancer.
"There is a fine line between persistence and obstinacy," Folkman says. "I have come to realize the key is to choose a problem that is worth persistent effort."
