Hi Das,
Thanks for posting in HCG.
It is unfortunate to note that you have landed up in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). As of now, there is not alternate treatment as such except for dialysis, which you are undergoing. Some of these massage treatments helps to eliminate toxins from the body, but they cannot be considered as alternate to dialysis.
You need to strictly follow diet what has been advised. Another important thing what you should take care is the infections, as it would add toxins to your body, which would have impact on kidney function.
That should help you to maintain your creatinine and electrolyte levels, which is vital for your body function.
Practice healthy lifestyle and get your regular follow-ups done. That should keep you going.
All the best.
