Anti hypertensive medication did save a lot of kidneys though- not everybody can go on the Kempner diet.
I'm not so sure about this. It may be that it's a kidney problem developing into hypertension, and not the other way around.
But it's something that mainstream and alternative medicine are in agreement about - hypertension causes kidney problem. And yet it has never been proven.
When my blood pressure was normal in 2002, my serum creatinine was already high. Even before I developed hypertension, my eGFR was already low.
How does lowering blood pressure artificially help when it counters the body's adaptive mechanism to survive?
