Burdock blend by herbpharm was what I used for my mom when she had a positive effect when at zero percent kidney functioning.
I bought parsley root in the produce department of meijers and made my own tincture, but I feel using organic is important (I couldn't find it at the time or ran out I think it was).
Organic or wildcrafted herbs are 7-10 times higher in the phytochemicals that cure and prevent diseases.
I use this company as they charge little more for 4oz than some companies do for 1 or 2 oz.
Organic parsley root is $6.25 but not sure how much shipping is. I would get some organic burdock root while you are buying.

Here are some more prices

I might also consider getting some dandelion root and leaves and I would look through the 36 steps to see what herbs are good for the kidneys or are needed as it may be the same or just a little bit more to buy them all at once saving you shipping charges.
If buying more herbpharm, do a price comparison search to get the best deal.
Do you know how to make tinctures? It is very easy.
If you do not let me know, and I will find the link where I posted detailed directions.
I would try to get the right product from that company. If they have original order form and made a mistake, see if they will ship it free.
But if they do not parsley leave though not a substitute for parsley root is also useful for one with kidney disease.
So it is not wasted.
I personally (and I am very poor) would buy the 4
oz at the link I gave as the parsley root is about 3 dollars the herb would last a lot longer. 4
oz goes a pretty long way and a tincture is much better as far as ease and also absorption. If making a decoction, be sure to use distilled water.
You can also --though it would not be as potent --buy the fresh veggie and make tinctures out of it. I got quite a bit from the bunch of parsley root fresh I got and also tincture the parsley tops but I did it separately so as not to water down the parsley root.
I feel the fresh tincture would be good as it is raw while the tea is cooked. As far as the organic parsley root form mountain herbs or other company, see if they heat it or dry it fresh from field or garden.
You can also juice the fresh parsley root but a tincture is the best I feel as far as the amount you need and ease of taking etc, but you can supplement it with fresh juice parsley root. Take without pulp and no food --drink within 15-20 minutes on empty stomach.
Use the pulp later in salads or soups etc
It is a good idea if there is a meijers or other grocery store that sells parsley root to start buying it regularly to add on with the tincture just for good measure.
I feel if you are doing Dr
Richard Schulze 's incurables, and money is tight, using one of the other links I provided to you via email is cheaper or making your own formulas most of which he gives the formulas for in his manual.
If someone has no way to access the manual, email me and I will try to look up the formula or send an email address and I will send the chapters they are in via attachment.
Making your own tinctures is just as good as herbpharm if you use organic bulk herbs and do at least 50% herbs to 75% ion the jar with 25-50% liquid on top while making it. I have saved up to 90% making my own tinctures. The biggest expense is using the vodka. I get the biggest bottle and the cheapest brand of 80%. If the herbs are very resinous, one wants 100%.
I would class herbpharm as a great brand with your own being even better as long as it is organic and Schulze's being top of the line.
Good luck with lab results and with doctor.
