Dr. Chertow is hilarious. I’m so captivated by his presence. His constant questions to the audience really keeps everyone engaged, he’s soft spoken which contributes to this kind, approachable demeanour, and his subtle humour makes him such a great lecturer. I bet he’s a great doctor.

[@karenishness1]

WHAT A LOVELY MAN.

[@alexdetrojan4534]

What a great presenter, especially for a layman like myself.

[@ezekielchariot]

You might imagine that at least a small handful of medical people caught the drinking competition promotion on the radio yet none of them knew enough about the possible effect to call up and put a stop to it.

[@neccowaif9]

I could listen to him all day long. What a great teacher.

[@tamzproduction5176]

We (me and my kidneys) are thankful for this.

[@jacksins3353]

I was only going to watch five or 10 minutes while I put away groceries, but somehow I ended up listening to the whole two hours. I really didn’t have any intention to learn about kidneys but this video was next on auto play. His presentation kept me engaged 😌.

[@jonathanrolon9675]

This is an amazing video! Thank you Dr. Glenn Chertow and thank you Stanford!

[@Climate_Hoax]

having just this past year been diagnosed with CKD stage 3 and having only 1 kidney, I read the comments first and have yet to watch the video. At 66 plus it's hard to learn and comprehend a disease of this type for an organ (or organs as most people have 2) so vital to our health in so many ways is how I will spend the remainder of my 4th quarter of life. But here I am and this is God's will and I don't have to understand, all I need to do is learn to deal with it.

[@mikerope5785]

Props to you for taking the initiative! I wish you the best with your kidney. It is super strong as you are with your proactive attitude 💪

[@coolfreshair1200]

God speed on this journey you are on, Michael. You will remain in my heart and prayers.

[@pinkiemkhatite8088]

[@pinkiemkhatite8088]

Soot May I please ask you if you were born with it !I found out last year that I only have one kidney

[@NeetchianQueen]

Thank you for this, I learned some more about my kidneys.

[@catbirdangel]

Kidneys are part of the excretory system and part of the urinary system They also have to do with feelings of security (lack of feeling secure, fearful, is what affects the kidneys) and they act as the furnace in the body.

[@pedestrianfare8175]

I'm halfway through and amazed. I do wonder if I'll hear about how lymphatics work into all this (and how their malfunction contributes to fluid in the interstitial space)

I think HTN is always secondary . They might be due to stiffness of blood vessel, over production of hormones like cortisol and aldostreon, polycythemia, low level of vit d , high renin , renal stenosis , pulmonary issue or even high cholostrol and lot more .but their must be a underline cause

[@chiragpratapsingh7546]

Sir you are awesome!!

[@finakhan8653]

You need the correct salt with all the minerals to benefit the body. The hospital has processed food for sale including sweet stuff, pop. that’s criminal.

[@Spartan21blue]

That’s right . Sounds exactly what the speaker eats .

[@wiltonpt1]

if you loose 20 lb for one you loose miles of blood vessels. That should in most people bring down the blood pressure by sheer shortening of the vascular network physics. Plus many times, the excess fat surrounding the blood vessels CAUSE and maintain a slightly elevated vasoconstriction on many arteries thus increasing peripheral resistance. This is all published research

[@erwinrogers9470]

Amazing 🔥

[@wyvrennemacdaniels6813]

you are a brilliant dr. not to butter your toast on both sides but i loved listening. now for the big question thing. okay so i have long term severe anemia. and when i get my menses they get severely heavy and I faint when i stand. so im wondering if there's circumstances where "the bloodshed from menses isn't severe enough to activate the emergency response" is a bit off because i almost never urinate during menses. (yes me and my dr are looking into this) im just curious because I have seen other people like me with similar experiences.

I would be tempted to go reishi mushroom in capsule monitoring your sleep and oregano oil capsules which will also help your dental!

Cool, I once asked an ED doctor in a café his favourite organ. his answer? The kidney.... why? "Think of where the adrenals are.. the kidney controls everything!"

Depends, the kind of salt must be considered...three major types, one very bad for kidneys..Morton salt..must avoid, period. Morton salt is so processed, including tiny pieces of glass..zero minerals..the other two salts have 92 minerals , is urine the bodies Gold ?

Are you talking about Celtic salt? Or Himalayan?

Step one: Stop eating sugar and anything from grains. That includes rice. Step two: Take vitamin C and some magnesium or eat huge amounts of veg. Step three: Make sure you have a balance between omega 3 and 6. (No junk food) That should fix most health problems.

[@V0LKSJAGER]

Step 4 Meditate and keep the stress low. And meditation is also known to balance all the hormones in the body. Activate the mitochondria to work more effectively and a lot more good things. And new research also says that kidney cells do regenerate but one must provide the right environment for it to help reverse kidney disease.

[@kman7169]

I would argue the kidneys have more of an intelligence than the brain . As the brain is an antennae processing all the bits of information of surroundings inside and out . Leaving the information for the organ system to use its own intelligence to supply a best function to the whole . The kidneys I have been forced to recently get in touch with and I have apologized for ignoring them for so long in maintenence and also getting information from them no doubt . I believe there is much too the listen to your heart and listen to your gut which I realte to the kidneys operating as dual processors and the gut becomes the screen the information is read and legible to the brain . So the brain is only processing the information the organs have created . Anyway yes its true we can not live without the relay center or brain , but we must really began to focus on the intelligence of the organs as well . If one is in tune enough see what happens if you began to converse with them directly , might seem outside the box exersise but worth the awkwardness . Cheers !!

[@coolfreshair1200]

Apparently it's difficult for YOU to listen to this good doctor, Dwight. Try looking beyond the surface and instead focus on the wealth of information, deep compassion and needed levity this skilled presenter provided for us all. I guess you still have some learning left to do, as do we all. Wishing you well on your journey.
