For CKD, I suggest a diet low in _advanced glycation endproducts,_ AGEs, especially Aajonus Vonderplanitz's Primal Diet, and NAC plus glycine. - Mary Jane Brown, "What are advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs)?", _Healthline,_ 22 Oct 2019 RU-vid search: _/results?search_query=NAC+%26+glycine_
I have been training Aikido for 23years and also have Kidney disease. I lost a kidney about 3 years ago and the remaining one is loosing function. I know how you feel! and I wish you good luck and I hope your on the read to recovery quickly.
I was diagnosed with liver cancer 13 years ago (July). And I will say (100%) my life is more beautiful now. In the beginning I saw it as a shadow of something terrible to come. I didn’t know if I would die before the transplant - waiting. But what Kimeda Sensei told me a bunch of times, “Open your eyes & take advantage of the opportunities”. Every moment leading up to the transplant, and every moment after, I have seized every moment of joy that presents itself to me. Even my giant scars across my body I know see as beautiful - Kinitsugi. Approach life as you always do with your big beautiful smile and say “Joy” when it’s presented to you. Good luck Azu. My hopes are with you.
Did an internship as nurse on dialysis. Met many people in your situation in a short while. I remember them as a family knowing each other from hours waiting during the dialysis. People found much support with each other and kept in contact even after succesfull transplants. I hope you find this as well on your journey. 👍
What’s up Azu, I’ve been a big fan of Aikido flow for years, sorry to hear about your health issues. I too have CKD, I have been diagnosed with it 2 years ago, so I know it’s tough, mine is due to high blood pressure but I’m taking it one day at a time, exercising regularly and eating healthy as much as I can. God bless you brother and get well.
I understandwhat you're going through. I have a brother who needs kidney transplant and he's been on dialysis for years now. I'll pray for you for the transplant and speedy recovery. Love and appreciate you and your channel brother.
Praying for your recovery. I have followed this channel for some time and one day wanted to visit the Dojo. Hope I can in the future. Subscribed to POV
Words fall short as how to express how sorry I am this is happening to you. You always seem like a strong dude but to hear you wear doing all these things with only one kidney, well, you are a pillar of STRENGTH!!! Stay strong my brother, I will be praying for you and send positive energies your way. And when you are ready, open the dojo. For now, focus on getting better!!!
Hi Azu. I have a close friend who has had a double lung transplant twice. His positive attitude and determination has seen him through this ordeal. I feel you will rise above this as he has. Wishing you all the best and take care.
My non-identical twin brother was born with only one kidney and has a similar problem. I have offered him several times times to give him one of my kidneys, but he refused. We share a very violent childhood, which traumatized us. Luckily Aikido helped me get through treatment. I am very sorry you experience such an aweful desease and really hope you will find another transplant soon and get better soon! Best of luck to you and your loved ones.
Thanks for sharing this hard news with us. You have helped me learn and think about things in Aikido. Sorry to hear things went so wrong. Hopefully they will go much better next time.
Thank you for sharing your story. I also have kidney issues, so in a sense, I can relate and I empathize for you. I am a SanDan and certified assistant instructor, but I no longer practice Aikido anymore because of the pandemic. During that time, all dojos in the area, (there's not many) where I live shut down Including the one where I trained. When my dojo reopened, only those who had been vaccinated were allowed to enter the dojo. As much as I pleaded, I was not allowed back and those who I trained and trained with, who I considered friends, literally shunned, and persecuted me because I refused to get vaccinated (Romans 12:2). I felt this was total irony because O'Sensei Morihei Ueshiba, in his writings, viewed Aikido as a form of Peace for all to share. Although I am not a student of Aikido anymore, I still value the Art of Peace because it literally saved me when I was at the lowest time of my life. The point is, not to give up. I have found another outlet in swimming nearly everyday and I still practice Aiki weapons to keep my skills in tune. In fact, I still use Aikido movements in the pool while swimming which allows me to guide, even sail through the water... Flowing as O'Sensei would say.
Very sorry to hear about this. I wish you all the best, however, I know the martial spirit you have will carry you through these next stages in your life! Best wishes and positive vibes.
Very sorry to hear this. Thank you for all of the knowledge and joy you spread through this channel. I hope you get some good news soon. Best wishes. :)
Thank you so much for teaching us. I'm shocked to hear this. I have health problems, too and I know it's scary. Take care of yourself, you deserve much better than this. I live in the United States, but I would give a kidney to keep you going.
Praying with you for the whole journey my brother. You guys unknowingly journeyed with me over 5 years ago during my health issues when I hit 50. I'll never forget the joy I got just watching the way you and your dojo mates taught techniques the way that you did. It was a big part of my getting back into the dojo. Though I now have a black belt in Shotokan, I will always have a love for Aikido and for all of you in Aikdoflow as well. Praying for the good Lord to rain down on you and your family, your dojo family grace, peace, healing, and unexpected joy. Thank you for your demonstration of true budo spirit and for your friendship from afar during my own "dark season".
My situation is not even close to what you are going through, but a few years ago I had to give up Ju Jitsu due to kidney problems (I was bleeding when I urinated), so I had to decide between my health and what I loved to do the most. But I have never walked away. I hope with all my heart that you find a kidney and get better, Azus. A hug from Cuba.
I can only imagine what you are going through Azu. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray you find all the support you need and everything works out. Take care champ
Very sorry to hear this Azu. You are in my prayers and I hope there is a speedy recovery for you. Thank you for everything you do. Hang in there brother.
Sorry that you had to share the concerning news. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself and hopefully you'll be able to recover and continue the Aikido channel later. You've got my prayers 100%.
Really sorry to hear that Azu, hope and pray that you find a donor and are able to return to full health soon. Your channel is awesome, full of fun as well as great advice. You'll be in my thoughts for sure.
Just get well. Without you, this channel doesn't exist. And your family and friends love you dearly. Dialysis sucks. I hope you can get through this as painlessly as possible!
So sorry to hear your having health issues. You are one of the kindest personalities on utube. Know that I will be praying for you. Keep your spirits up my friend.
Praying for your full restoration brother. I've watched you for the past year and change and I feel like I know you personally. Definitely cheering for your positive outcome.✊🏽💪🏾💯
Sorry to hear the news Azu , you are a top guy , getting my interest back into martial arts after all these years , god bless you and hope to see you back soon 💙
Hoping all the best for you Azu. I work in the medical field and have a good idea of what's ahead for you, and surprised at what you've been through already! Do you have any students that are seasoned enough to possibly run the dojo in your absence? Love the channel and I'm rooting for you and your fellow Aikidoflow team. Good luck, sir.
I wish you all the best and hopefully the new kidney will hold up in your body! My father had a kidney disease from his late 30ies and eventually lost 100% kidney function and needed dialysis. He also got a donor kidney after years of waiting. I do remember when it was still in after a couple of days. The transformation was amazing. And that soon! Like he came back from the dead. His body and mind. Unfortunately his body rejected it after 3 weeks. Years later someone told me that he said: It was like losing a child.
Sorry to hear about that. I hope you can have another donor and a successful transplant is achieved. Best of luck and hope to see you soon in good health. Kudos for your brother as well
Best wishes to you my friend. I had a kidney removed in my early twenties, I know what a painful procedure it is. I hope the NHS look after you. All the best Azu.
So sorry brother that you are going through this difficult time. I wish you the best and will keep you in my prayers. Thank you so much for your wisdom!
I have so much respect for you for being open and vulnerable with your audience. I’m gutted that you’re going through this situation dude. I appreciate all that you do and the spirit with which you do it. I will be praying for your health and recovery. Much love to you and your family x
Hey man just wanted to say thank you for sharing, it must've took great courage, my nephew was born with an enlarged kidney and as a result suffers from CKD he is 3 now and will be having a kidney transplant when he is older, I wish you all the luck in the world and for the future, I have been a subscriber to the channel for a couple of years now & absolutely love the content just concentrate on healing now and we will see you back here fighting fit. all the best Chris L
An huge hug Azu!I am sure everything will be fine and soon we can enjoy your fanatstic smile and thunderous tenshin nage again!Best wishes from Costarica!
Sorry to hear your bad news, your strength and focus will hopefully see you through. Such a brave thing your brother did for you, shame it didn't work out. I had a massive stroke in 2016, completely different from your health issues but very difficult to deal with both physically and mentally. I started doing Aikido in 2019 thankfully my Dojo was very welcoming and supportive because of my limitations, Aikido and your videos have helped me feel less vunerable and Aikido has helped me enormously to proceed through some hard times. Dig deep mate, sending positive thoughts from here in Australia.
Prayer said for your healing, Azu. I've also been through hell and high water with heart problems. I'm sending healing vibes your way and will be watching for your recovery.
Sorry to hear of this,Azu! I wish you all the best, mate! Had a Whipple myself last August, lost weight, training to get back up. Good luck, mate! Cheering for you. Sandy
I love watching your videos. I was a doorman for over 20 years, your techniques are brilliant. I've used them alot of times. I've stopped doing that job because I've had a stroke.. gutted😢. You've helped me big time. Thank you Azu. I hope your situation gets sorted. Thank care 💪👍
Thanks for sharing this. What a story man! I‘m so sorry the transplantation didn‘t work, also for your brother. My father goes to dialysis 3 times a week. I see how much energy it takes from someone, if the kidneys don‘t function well. I wish you lots of strength. Cheers from out Germany/Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Sorry to hear this. My prayers for your recovery and soon come back .wishing you a good process and every single medical process go fine and do good . My best wishes for your medical attention .
Hello Azu, So Very sorry to hear about your troubles!!! Do whatever you need to do to get and stay healthy!!! We Love you Brother and are wishing you all the best!!
I’ve always loved your videos and the practical approach you take with Aikido. Get well soon and I hope one day to see you on the mat!! You got this!!! Good luck!!!
Blessings to you brother. Stay strong. Sometimes when you're in a shit storm you have to just batten down the hatches and ride it out. It can't rain forever.
All the best for your recovery back to full health and look forwards to seeing you online again. I have really enjoyed the practical application of Aikido after many years of training.
