Reversing Chronic Kidney Disease with Niacin and Sodium Bicarbonate

[Rinse & rePeat]

I would add that should one use baking soda, it would absolutely be best to do this away from meals as baking soda would neutralize stomach acid and could in turn lead to pneumonia.

This is good information Jon, thank you.

David, do you think this article would suggest that niacinamide is among the forms of niacin that may be helpful in chronic kidney disease?

Niacinamide May Treat (acute) Kidney Failure (AKI) - Human Study

It seems modern medicine is slowly starting to recognize the role of energy in organ health, and more specifically the role of NAD/NADH ratio in variety of diseases long thought to be mostly mechanism in origin. A few months ago, I posted a study on raising NAD levels with nicotinamide riboside...

Having said that, some people on the forum have conducted N=1 experiments to see the effect of different substances on specific endpoints. The article has a section that states that "Niacin helps to get the phosphorous down." If that is what you are trying to do, studies have shown that niacinamide and niacin achieve clinically significant reductions in serum phosphate in patients undergoing dialysis. Consider reading:

Ray Peat recommends changing the diet to lower the ratio of calicum to phosphorous.

Calcium-Phosphorous Ratio Of Cheeses

I've recently been having great success by focusing on getting a higher calcium-to-phosphorous ratio in my diet rather than just focusing on calcium. Dr. Peat has said that this ratio is very important: “The ratio of calcium to phosphate is very important; that’s why milk and cheese are so...
