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?

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(...
