Information for Those on Dialysis from CalWood Nutritionals

In the Step by Step description of hemodialysis, Wikipedia says: "Following hemodi-

alysis, patients may experience a syndrome called "washout", The patient feels weak, tremulous,
extreme fatigue, Patients report they "are too tired, too weak to converse, hold a book or even a
newspaper." It may also vary in intensity ranging from whole body aching, stiffness in joints and
other flu-like symptoms including headaches, nausea and loss of appetite, The syndrome may begin
toward the end of treatment or minutes following the treatment. It may last 30 minutes or 12-14 hours
in a dissipating form, Patients though exhausted have difficulty falling asleep, Eating a light meal, rest
and quiet help the patient cope with washout until it has 'worn away.'"!
Up to 94 of all persons on hemodialysis experience "washout" after the hemodi-
alysis session.' Many kidney patients describe hemodialysis as a bad day, followed by a
good day before another bad day when they are dialyzed.
We have found that dialysis patients can increase their energy to the point that the
hemodialysis day is also a good day by taking servings of the EAA at the appropriate
times. Most patients think the EAA drink works best and the directions are quite simple.
We will be marketing this as "DialysAid" so it will have the correct instructions for relief of
post-dialysis syndrome. It's easy - one serving 10 minutes before the end of your dialysis
session. Take another when you reach home - about 3 5h1irnites later for most patients.
If you must limit your liquids, take DialysAid AminoBites 25 minutes before the
end of dialysis - it takes more time for the EAA in the AminoBites to come out of the fiber
and move to the bloodstream. Take another serving when you leave the dialysis clinic.
 ,  Those who have tried this say that they can return to work immediately after
reaching home and that they feel well. Some of you will recognize yourselves in the follow-
ing excerpts from what you have reported to us.
"I used to have to go home and sleep for 3-4 hours before I could start teaching
my students, but now I take one drink of EAA 10 minutes before the end of the session
and another when I get home. I can now start teaching when I reach home."
"This is the greatest invention since water. I feel great.".
For a peritoneal dialysis (PD) patient- "I feel better than have in two years."
For PD we recommend that you take a: serving just before you remove the dialysate,
repeating after each exchange.
We have had patients experienced in carrying out experiments and judging the
results who have varied the times at which they took the EAA. Those experiments indi-
cated that the Nutrasentials worked best and 10 minutes before the end of dialysis was
best for the initial dose. Some clinics will not allow food or drink in the dialysis room and
we suggest that you take the DialysAid as soon as you exit the room. One customer takes
a thermos with the prepared EAA and takes one serving as soon as he leaves the room and
then another about 25 minutes later while on his way home - the report, "It's working very
well, thank you very much."
We would encourage you to share your experiences with us and with your fellow
patients. We have received a lot of skepticism from the nephrology world and as a result
we are going to run a clinical trial as soon as possible, but we wanted to get the word to
you because the reports we are getting from those who have tried it are all very positive,
You can feel better on dialysis -let us know how DialysAid works for you.

   I have been using their products for 10 years and avoided dialysis for that time.  I know the products are good and do what they say.

Good Luck,
