Decoding Nephrotic Syndrome

Ever since this syndrome came into my life through my son, I have been literally trying to research and figure out what is it all about. I tried all forms of treatment for my son and finally settled down with Allopathic medicine tacrolimus. I have tried Accupressure , Ayurveda , Homeopathy and Allopathy. I started with Allopathy and Ended up with the same and continuing the same.

Diet during a relapse of nephrotic syndrome- Trigger cold
