Nephrotic syndrome in children- Home Remedy

The year 2021, started for me in a hospital. My husband and me were in hospital with my son for a diagnosis of his swollen body. Little did we know that we were going to be told something that will put our life into irrecoverable agony. Yes, the doctor said "Your child has nephrotic Syndrome". Since then till today a lot of things happened and the whole year was devastating with my son relapsing so many times. He was on steroids for a long time close to 9 months with 1months gap in between where he was on remission without any medicine.As time progressed he became steroid dependent.Meanwhile he also went through biopsy which stated he has MCD. we moved from hospital to hospital city to city and finally ended up in CMC Vellore where the doctor suggested to start with second line medicine called Tacrolimus. today when I am writing this he is on Tacrolimus twice daily. one surprising fact is non of the doctors were able to figure out the reason. while on tacrolimus and predinosolone he did get relapse. only once we had to treat it with 1 week of daily prednisolone instead of alternative days. later he had a relapse that lasted only two days. this time no prednisolone ofcourse his daily dose of tacrolimus continued. today while i write this i happened to watch a video from a traditional home remedies to avoid protein loss in children.i watched a couple of days ago . to my surprise I had to implement because my son had a protein dipstick turn green. yes the test said he has a relapse. i was shattered. however i wanted to try the remedy once to my surprise it immediately cleared up the urine and thr next dip showed yellow. While it is true that Tacrolimus is helpful . I would like to emphasize here that the remedy works together with allopathic medicine. 1. Reason according to the video: unbalanced heat in the childs body. due to change in weather the child's body and is over heated. 2. Remedy: snake guard juice- grind raw cleaned snakeguard in mixer and extract juice .add jeera 1/2 spoon and 2 cardomom into pestel and grind it to powder.mix the juice with the powder and add Jaggery( panam karupati in tamil). drink this juice 100 ml once daily. this really cools down the body. after this juice he started urinating well. he is still on tacrolimus but i now know the reason for the disease. it is relapsing due to heat.not to forget i follow a no gluten and occasional dairy diet for my son since his first hospitalisation. hope it helps all the kids who go through a tough time with this syndrome. Get well soon- prayers for all.

Diet during a relapse of nephrotic syndrome- Trigger cold

The last blog i published was on the day of relapse. While I did follow taking the snakeguard extract I also noticed few things. I just thought it will help ppl like me who are trying to help their kids get better without getting into predinosolone. I also noticed another blog that has mentioned taking a piece of Garlic during relapse helps to keep the protein loss under control. I gave it to my son only once though along with the snakeguard juice. Few things that I observed : 1. Relapse happened after he catched cold. Not on the same day but 3 days later 2. On the day of protein dipstick turning green , he took sweets that had ghee and made of dairy. 3. After taking snakeguard juice the immediate next 2 urine were protein negative. 4. Later he still had trace in his protein. 5. During a relapse,Whenever he took foods rich in protein the trace was sure to come. 6. We cut down everything and kept his diet as plain rice, boiled vegetables with turmeric and pepper with little salt(...

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. I do want to tell that these are based on my personal experience and not a professional medical recommendation.I tried to decode and find out answers . Based on my reading so far Why does it happen? Allopathy says - It is called Minimal Change Disease where the reason is unknown. Mostly happens in male children. Few children outgrow this disease as they growup but clearly cannot tell when. Take steroids(predinosolone) - to avoid inflammation of glomuruli filter Take second line immunosupressant(like tacrolimus)- bcos the disease is thought to be linked with immune disregulation. your immune system is workin...
