Product Description
More than 250,000 persons in the USA alone (and millions worldwide) have some form of end stage renal disease (ESRD). For the hundreds of thousands who must undergo dialysis to stay alive, excessive serum creatinine—the metabolic "waste" product of creatine, a natural component of meat, contributes to the vicious cycle of nausea, vomiting, anorexia and diminished quality of life experienced by both kidney patients, and those approaching renal failure. Through extensive research, Wendy Lou Jones (Royal Knight, Inc.) has created a unique self-help guide to assist both the kidney patient, and those approaching end stage renal failure, in break this negative cycle. The consumer friendly techniques for creatine removal, presented in 14-point font, are well detailed and easy to follow. Special attention was given to taste and quality of the final product. By applying the techniques outlined in this text, patients with renal insufficiency/impairment should, by working closely with members of their healthcare team, be able to regain the dietary flexibility they had lost.

A clear, concise, step by step guide for the layperson. Manageable both in size and language, "More Bio-Fuel---Less Bio-Waste"is a handy reference manual for the kidney patient's kitchen.

For those who have just found out that their kidneys are failing, this book offers basic self-help solutions for those new to renal related eating dilemmas. The book covers basic creatine (and mineral) removal procedures from meats that can be performed in any standard kitchen.

This book, and its food preparation directions, are easy to read and follow. For anyone who is just starting dialysis, and truly wants a simple self-help book on creatine reduction, this is it. Reading time is under one hour; usefulness - every day.
A very helpful guide January 12, 2003

Having kidney failure means not being able to eat everything you use to because of waste build up in the blood. Following the instructions in this book when cooking meat can help reduce blood creatinine.

This book is repetitive and very poorly edited. The author states the same approach to cooking meat and chicken in different chapters. However, the chapters are almost identical, except for the words "chicken" or "meat". The science in the book is based on an "unpublished paper" by the author. Funding for the book was provided by a grant from a company for which she is the CEO/founder. This book is useless.
