Ungrateful because Selina was drinking TONS of alcohol after the surgery even though doctors said not to drink any alcohol at all which is most likely why an artery flipped and she had to go back and get it fixed

I don’t think she necessarily guilt tripped her, but We definitely know for a fact that the doctor in charge caused a breach of confidentiality and did not legally do their job correctly.

You'll be monitored as any other person should be for chronical diseases, such as the ones I mentioned. But your energy, your activities won't be affect what so ever.

Can someone please tell Selena she needs to stop consuming animal proteins, she needs to go on a plant based diet void of animal products, her symptoms will be alleviated within months. She has an auto immune disease where the body attacks its self, many animal proteins like beef, and dairy look a lot like other proteins around the body like the joints, hair follicles, and kidneys, it also could be from yeast, so she should cut out refined carbs like cakes and breads. the worst that will happen is that she feels a lot better health wise, but still ravaged by the disease. then she can go back to a standard western diet, but trust me and the science she needs to do this.. one of her fans or friends please contact her about her dietary lifestyle change. she needs to eat lots of fruit and veg, beans/legumes, lentils, starchy tubers, plantain, and flax seeds or a source of clean omega3's, and herbs ans spices like turmeric.

my mom was a match for my dad and was able to donate a kidney to my him, who’s kidneys had shut down due to a high stage of kidney cancer. it was a one in a million chance that a couple would be matches. I really do know how intense this all is, and the fact that they both got through it together is so incredibly good. my parents were there for each other, and they were there for each other. both of my parents had to write out wills, too, and it was probably one of the most surreal things my siblings and I had gone through. I remember us sitting together at breakfast with my mom telling us that there really wasn’t a 100% guarantee that they’d both survive. they both have scars, but it’s okay. my dad is so so grateful for my mom, and vice versa. they’re both so strong for being able to get through this💕

@nataliaalmousawi9622 5 лет назад

My mom doesn’t even let anyone donate for her, my dad said her do it but unfortunately she thinks it’s against the way she was raised, that it’s morally wrong and selfish. I wish my mom could be more selfish, sometimes it’s a good thing.

@mouselinguist 5 лет назад

My mom needed a kidney and my oldest brother, who was about 25 at the time, was a perfect match, but they found some issues that suggested he would likely also go through kidney failure later in life. 25 years later, he's in stage 4 kidney failure and is waiting for a transplant. My mom is alive today because of a woman in California who died in a car crash and happened to be a perfect match. This is why being an organ donor is so important, even if you don't want to make that sacrifice when you're alive. If I'm going to die anyway, I would hope my death could save someone else's life.

@hayleekakuske7917 5 лет назад

My mom donated a kidney to my dad also. They claim their match makes them believe they are soulmates. It was meant to be so she could save his life. I love your story. It’s amazing and takes an amazingly strong person to donate a part of their body to save someone else’s life.

@SoundOfFreedom67 6 лет назад

Pardon my bluntness, but you have absolutely NO understanding of kidney disease, and NO idea what you are talking about. Someone could end up dead following such advice. Be careful with what you are enthusiastic about. I have studied natural/alternative medicine for 30 years, and there is VERY little that one can do about stage 4 nephritis. What happens to Lupus patients is a progressive DESTRUCTION of very fine nephron tubes inside the kidney - they are not reapair-able, they do not grow back, they do not heal or recover. Once they are damaged, that is IT. The kidney function declines, the patient gets dialysis, a transplant, or dies, once the damage reaches a certain level. If there were a natural cure for Lupus, I guarantee you it would be in use. Not to say that diet isn't helpful, but the problem is much bigger than that. The Antibiotic (low-dose) Protocol for Rheumatic Disease is very effective, but it doesn't make hospitals or doctors or drug companies nearly as much money as the poison medications and the decline in our health, so they don't bother.

@fellowhuman8815 6 лет назад

Urine is one's own perfect medicine. Do some research. Urine therapy is a viable path that anyone can take, for urine is free and it works 100%. Read John Armstrong's book to learn all about it: "The water of life". The body can heal anything when one stops interfering and practicing Urine Therapy is the best way to support the body instead of interfering. Everyone becomes their own perfect healer.
