These menus are a guide to try. Some contributors have both kidney and liver cysts; some take no medications ; some are not fluid restricted; some have normal blood pressure; some have normal cholesterol; and some have normal kidney functioning.

For many, an improvement in kidney functioning has been experienced the longer this diet is maintained. The earlier this diet is begun, the better. A few have experienced normal kidney functioning, improving with age. A few are 60 + years old with no other medical issues.
