Confused about a book I recently read!
Just read a book by DR. Robert Carlson ",The kidney Disease Solution". I read it all this morning and i am confused because in the beginning he said to lower your consumption of water and also your intake of protein. Later, toward the end of the book, , he advocates the use of water and the consumption of protein? So now i am confused?
