LEARNING ARTICLES
Some of these articles were written originally on my facebook community, now I share them here for anyone to read and use.
01 – THE CASE FOR LIFESTYLE CHANGE IN PKD
… or: WHY YOUR DOCTOR DOESN’T HAVE A CLUE. My name is Felix. I’m a biohacker. I read research and test out what works for me. Good news! My cysts have been shrinking since 2014, I’m down 7% in kidney volume and counting. Kidney function is up 40%. So finally I decided to share what …
02 – The Bulletproof Diet – The Key to Reversing PKD
Good morning dear Friends! Read all of this. 😉 I’ll start this day off with by talking about Nutrition a bit. You have possibly heard just to eat a “balanced diet”.

03 – 12 Mechanisms
Hello Friends! Today I’m going to share some research with you in my new infographic. These are 12 mechanisms of PKD that scientists have already learnt to influence in a positive way. And I am showing you how you can do it at home in these posts. We don’t use medication, we use the power …
04 – Getting Your Data
Good morning! Before I continue with sharing the other molecular triggers, I will remind you of something very important. Getting your data. What data? The data on YOUR kidneys. The next time you visit your nephrologist (maybe you should make an appointment today), get an ultrasound and ask for the following data: – size of …
05 – Germ-free means Cyst-free
Hey Folks! I hope you are getting settled in with the bulletproof diet and you have made your appointment for getting your data. Today I am going to share one of my favorite research papers with you. In this study from 1997, scientists tested an interesting theory for PKD on two groups of PKD-mice. They …
06 – Autophagy For Recycling Your Damaged Cells
Good morning to you all! Today it’s all about recycling. WHAT? Our PKD mechanisms of the day are Ca2+ AND Autophagy! I chose to tell you about both because they are triggered at the same time. In PKD, both Ca2+ (Intracellular Calcium) Content of your Cells, and Autophagy (recycling of damaged cells) is reduced. These …
07 – Molecular Triggers: SIRT1
We’re already going strong in my Series on what you can do to slow down PKD, or even reverse it. It depends on the severity of your condition. You might be thinking- “why is he telling me all those details? Just tell me what to do!” – but this is the thinking that modern doctors …
08 – Lowering Blood Pressure Naturally
Keeping your blood pressure low is essential. this one the docs got right. As you may know, a high percentage of the world population nowadays has high blood pressure, with all sorts of reasons related to lifestyle, not PKD. That said, what are the reasons for most of us, if it is not PKD? There …

11 – HDACs and TNF-alpha
Hey Kidney friends. Today I’m gonna dive straight into the science. The next things we can do to stack the PKD cards in our favor is to block 2 things that are called “HDACs” and “TNF-alpha”. HDAC stands for Histone-Deacetylase, that’s an enzyme and its primary job is to regulate gene expression. Yes- thats a …
12 – Tolvaptan / JINARC – Why not to take it
So, you surely have heard about this new miracle drug for PKD called Jinarc, or Tolvaptan. This is the one drug that has been approved in many countries to treat PKD. Isn’t that awesome? Well, let’s examine first, why Tolvaptan was chosen to be the first drug to be released for this condition. Most importantly, …
2019 CHECKUP RESULTS
Just finished my annual Kidney checkup! GFR at 121, CRP at 0.3 and kidney size “probably smaller” – ultrasound is very hard to pinpoint. Could be that its 5mm shorter than last year, BUT margin of error is around 5mm so… lets just stick with my last MRI results which were 7% reduction in kidney …
Breakthrough Results After 7 Years of Reversing PKD
This website has its roots in a facebook group I founded way back in 2016 as my personal refuge – I founded it because it was the only place where I could tell people about the amazing results I was seeing with the bulletproof diet and my PKD. Back in 2015 I was getting thrown …

CITRATE DECREASES CYST GROWTH
So, recently our new member and prolific researcher Thomas Weimbs made me aware of his 2019 paper on microscopic kidney stones that increase cyst growth in PKD. Where do they come from? You guessed it… Oxalates in your food. There is a reason I recommend the bulletproof diet for you guys! 🙂 By doing bulletproof, …

DEUTERIUM DEPLETION 101
So, this is new. Deterium is a heavy Isotope of water, also called heavy water. In excess, it destroys our mitochondria, kind of like throwing a brick into a washing machine. (Ever saw that video? :-D) Its just too heavy. Deuterium occurs naturally in all water. The deuterium content of our oceans has increased from …
Healing PKD Metabolism By Choosing The Right Fats
Did you know that the types of fat you choose to eat on a daily basis have a distinct impact on your metabolism- and thereby on PKD progression? Our mitochondria are the power plants in our cells and they are responsible for keeping us running with energy. It is their metabolism that converts glucose or …

KETO IS NOT ENOUGH
…and how to instead cycle keto, carbs & fasting and avoid toxins Dear Friends! We have recently been seeing a big uptick in the popularity of keto on the internet, thanks to the release of the Weimbs Lab study on rats. Many people are trying it and are expecting great results just like the rats …
LOWERING BLOOD PRESSURE 2.0 – COLLOIDAL SILVER
I was made aware by my friend Ryan that he had seen good success lowering his blood pressure by using colloidal silver. We have now successfully replicated his results using our own homemade colloidal silver solution. A ten to fifteen point drop in both numbers – which in many cases is equal to what blood …
LOWERING ENDOTOXIN WITH DIET
I’ve been thinking for a long time now, that LPS (Endotoxin, which is contained in the cell walls of some bacteria) is at the heart of the PKD issue and if we manage to reduce it in the blood we might see huge effects on our kidneys. Now here are the newly added numbers for …
MCT OIL DAMPENS THE EFFECT OF ENDOTOXIN
Now here’s some hot news for all of us. Turns out consuming MCT oil (like one would in their daily bulletproof coffee, or drizzled on meals) dampens the effect of endotoxin on the body. What does this mean for us? It means that if I am correct in assuming that endotoxin is directly triggering cyst …
Only every 2nd PKD mutation causes cysts?
While I was still out working on my diploma, I couldn’t help but notice this study. I had been waiting for a study like this to be done. And its exactly what I predicted. Theres about 9.3 people with the PKD mutation per 10.000 if you go by genome sequencing. That is almost double the …
PHOSPHOROUS CONTENT OF PROTEINS
For those of us who already have to watch their phosphorous intake, as is the case with impaired kidney function, I thought it was a great idea to come up with this list for you. There are plenty of lists out there about the phosphorous content of foods, but they are very uninteresting, since they …
QUERCETIN SLOWS CYST GROWTH
Here’s a neat article for everyone to read. The gist of it? Injecting Quercetin (one of my favorite plant compounds, which is completely nontoxic and even recommended for general health) into the backs of PKD mice twice a day made the cysts grow at a much slower rate. For anyone interested, an oral human dose …
RECIPE: AUTOPHAGY TEA
For anyone, who really wants to up their game while fasting and increase PKD-healing autophagy to the max, while inhibiting mTOR: I was recently challenged by my friend Ryan on the topic of polyphenols and their healing powers and I remembered there was a potent “Autophagy Tea” proposed by dr. Mercola recently. I have ordered …

RESTRICTING PROTEIN? HOW TO PREVENT MUSCLE LOSS.
If your doctor has advised you to restrict your protein intake, as is the case in later stages of kidney disease, that is a problem for your long term health- why? It puts you at a 100% risk of sarcopenia, cachexia and muscle loss. This makes intuitive sense- because, if you are not taking it …

THE ROLE OF GLUCOSE IN PKD
A 2016 study found that Cysts grow in response to glucose, but at a much faster rate than healthy tissue. Just like a tumor. Blocking the Glucose with medication slowed progression. This is why the Bulletproof Diet works. You don’t use lots of glucose anymore. You use ketones.And you get healthy in the process. If …

Vegan Diets: The Deceptive “Lightning Bolt Effect” in PKD
Since I am seeing this story again and again in my PKD coaching clients, I guess its time to explain why vegan diets are a dead end for managing PKD, and can even cost you vital time to actually improve your function. Many PKD patients go vegan for various reasons. While the intention is a …
