If anyone wanna know how to slowly stop to rely on insulin, drop a DM and I’ll share you some tips 😉🩺

Insulin was created to save lives, not to create profit. Everyone with diabetes deserves a fair chance at life. 💙

CKD is a silent killer that you shouldn’t really just forget

When Kyle Terence Abanto was only 23 years old, his doctor delivered to him perhaps the worst news in his life: he had stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD5), the end-stage of the illness that is currently incurable.

IT IS CALLED A SILENT KILLER for a reason, please take care of your bodies, your family and friends would love have you longer, if you have any friends or family members with any symptoms that I post on my page, share it to them and ask them to take precaution and prevention steps before it’s too late 😣

Stem cells 😉

In a historic medical breakthrough, a man with severe diabetes has begun producing his own insulin after receiving a transplant of gene-edited pancreatic cells — the first success of its kind in humans. This achievement marks a major step toward a functional cure for diabetes.

Scientists used advanced CRISPR gene-editing technology to modify pancreatic beta cells so they could survive immune system attacks — the primary reason such cells fail in diabetic patients. Once transplanted, the cells integrated into the body and began responding naturally to blood glucose levels, releasing insulin as needed.

Within weeks, doctors observed a dramatic reduction in insulin injections. In some cases, patients required little to no external insulin support. Unlike traditional transplants, these cells do not require lifelong immune-suppressing drugs, reducing risks and complications.

More than 400 million people worldwide live with diabetes, and current treatments manage symptoms rather than fix the root cause. Gene-edited cell therapy offers the possibility of restoring the body’s own metabolic control — turning diabetes from a lifelong condition into a treatable one-time intervention.

This breakthrough doesn’t just treat disease — it reprograms biology, opening the door to regenerative medicine that repairs the body from within.

Supplements vs medicines? Which one’s better? 🤔

It’s an intriguing question: if pills are too toxic to flush down the toilet, why do we believe it’s safe to swallow them? This thought-provoking statement challenges us to rethink our relationship with pharmaceuticals and consider their long-term impact on our bodies and the environment.

While medicine has its place, it’s essential to question whether we’re too reliant on it for everyday health concerns. Many solutions that have been used for centuries in traditional medicine may be safer and more effective than what’s currently offered by the pharmaceutical industry.

Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the ones we overlook. It’s time to explore alternatives that honor the body’s natural healing abilities. 💊❓

How diabetes affects the kidney? How did it happen?

15/12/2025

🚫 PAINKILLERS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL TO THE BODY

1. NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs)
Examples: Ibuprofen, Diclofenac, Nurofen, Naproxen, Aspirin, Felvin, Ketoprofen

Potential Harm
❗ Stomach ulcer and bleeding
❗ Kidney damage (especially in dehydration or long-term use)
❗ Heart problems with prolonged use
❗ Raised blood pressure
❗ Worsening asthma in sensitive people

2. Strong NSAIDs / Potent Analgesics
Examples: Ketorolac (Toradol), Piroxicam, Indomethacin
Potential Harm
❗ Very high risk of stomach ulcer
❗ Kidney toxicity
❗ Should not be used for more than 5 days (Ketorolac)

3. Opioid Painkillers
Examples: Tramadol, Codeine, Morphine, Pethidine
Potential Harm
❗ Addiction and dependence
❗ Breathing depression (dangerous overdose)
❗ Drowsiness and confusion
❗ Seizures (especially with Tramadol)
❗ Severe constipation

4. Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) – Safe but dangerous in overdose
Potential Harm
❗ Liver failure
❗ Death if taken in very high doses
❗ Harmful when combined with alcohol
(Paracetamol is safe at normal doses, harmful only when misused.)

5. Painkiller Combinations
Examples: Ibuprofen + Paracetamol, Diclofenac + Tramadol, Codeine-containing cough syrups
Potential Harm
❗ Doubling ingredients unknowingly → overdose
❗ Higher risk of liver, kidney, or stomach damage

⚠️ Key Groups at Higher Risk

Pregnant women
People with ulcers or acid reflux
People with kidney disease
People with heart problems
People taking alcohol regularly
Elderly patients

✔️ Safer Use of Painkillers

Use the lowest effective dose
Do not take multiple NSAIDs together
Avoid taking them on an empty stomach
Drink enough water
Do not exceed Paracetamol 4 g/day
Avoid self-medication with Tramadol or Codeine!

Something new I’ve learned today 🤯

A groundbreaking study from Wuhan University is turning everything we thought we knew about Parkinson’s disease upside down. Researchers now believe the disease may not start in the brain at all, but in the kidneys.
The study found abnormal clusters of alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) proteins, the same ones heavily linked to Parkinson’s, inside the kidneys of affected patients. These proteins are known to trigger neurological damage when they build up in the brain. However, in animal experiments, healthy kidneys successfully cleared these proteins. When kidney function was impaired, the α-Syn proteins began to travel to the brain, setting the stage for Parkinson’s.
Shockingly, even people with chronic kidney disease but no neurological symptoms were found to have α-Syn buildup. This discovery suggests the kidneys might act as an early “reservoir” for toxic proteins, which could later spread through the bloodstream or nerves and affect the brain.
Though early and based on limited data, this research could completely change how we understand and treat Parkinson’s. It raises the possibility that monitoring and protecting kidney health might one day help prevent or delay the onset of this devastating condition.
