Chronic Kidney Disease Reversal: Case Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and its primary cause, Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) with its multiple risk factors, are not necessarily the irreversible diseases most medical practitioners claim they are. By implementing an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, in particular, a diet tweaked by close observation, and then introducing routine systemic ozone therapies plus ingestion of C60 chased by supersaturated hydrogen water daily, this case study follows the treatment plan in a 79-year-old male to illustrate how the glomeruli filters of the kidney will begin to improve their performance along with control of CVD. Nocturnal Fluctuating Blood Pressure is a classic presentation of Malignant Hypertension, characterized by systolic blood pressure >180 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure > 120 mm Hg in hypertensive crisis. By careful real-time monitoring and feedback, the triggers of nocturnal blood pressure spikes were identified and when the triggers were avoided, the hypertension-induced arterial wall hypertrophy contributing to the high blood pressure decreased. This technique resulted in the normalization of blood pressure to low normal ranges over diurnal cycles, minimizing a key threat contributing to kidney dysfunction.

J Tim Rainey*, Texas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, Mouth Matters Book, International Hyperbaric Medical Foundation, USA
Dr. Rainey received his dental degree from the University of Texas, Houston. He is the director of the Texas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies and is a past president of the Corpus Christi chapter of the Academy of General Dentistry and an adjunct associate professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center School of Dentistry at San Antonio. He describes his life’s works as dedicated as an innovator of Minimally Invasive Preventive Dentistry. He has contributed to developing a scientific approach to operative dentistry. His innovations in Micro-Dentistry have resulted in six patents granted to date. In addition to lecturing he has authored numerous publications, focusing on Minimally Invasive Micro-Dentistry and previously undocumented tooth structures. Dr. Rainey is a research scientist who makes his living as a dentist in the small South Texas town of Refugio Texas. He is a descendant of the original pioneering families who fought for and settled Texas.
Vander Stoep C, Texas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, Mouth Matters Book, International Hyperbaric Medical Foundation, USA
Carol Vander Stoep is a Registered Dental Hygienist and Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist in Austin, Texas, and a recognized speaker to both professional audiences and the general public. Her book covering oral/systemic medicine, Mouth Matters: How Your Mouth Ages Your Body and What You Can Do about It, is the go-to book for the general public and medical professionals alike to gain a clearer understanding about how influential oral health, including and perhaps especially oral posture, is to general health from a functional medicine perspective.
She has served as a board member of the Academy of Minimally Invasive Biomimetic Dentistry (AMIBD) and is a founding member of the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH), and the Academy of Applied Myofunctional Sciences (AAMS). She is also a member of the American Academy of Physiological Medicine and Dentistry (AAPMD). She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in dental hygiene from Baylor University and has taken courses in orofacial myology from two of the top experts in the United States.
Ms. Vander Stoep is an advocate for change in dentistry. Given the current reality of healthcare costs and delivery in this country and the central role of oral conditions in general health, she works to bring together the philosophies of those who practice biological dentistry, minimally invasive/biomimetic dentistry, neurological dentistry, and those who understand the roles the mouth and oral posture plays in the web of inflammatory diseases, so dentistry can offer people a chance at much higher levels of health.
