Ufuoma Mcdermott Suffering From Kidney Disease by eyesoflagos(op): 7:10am On Nov 02, 2024
Nollywood actress Ufuoma McDermott has bravely opened up about her 12-year struggle with kidney disease. In a recent interview, she detailed the challenges she has faced throughout her health journey, including multiple hospital visits and treatments. Ufuoma emphasized the importance of awareness and education regarding kidney health, urging others to prioritize their well-being. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

In an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the 43-year-old actress revealed that her illness, initially diagnosed at stage three, had progressed to stage four.



McDermott explained the toll her condition has taken on her body, her weight management struggle and how adding weight endangers her life.

“People do not understand when I say I cannot afford to put on weight; I do not want to die. I have little children. I had pushed my body, and it was borderline stage 4,” she stated.

She described last year as particularly difficult, with moments where she feared for her life. Recalling a harrowing conversation with her doctor, McDermott shared that despite her doctor’s advice to rest, she was determined to fulfil her commitments.

“I was negotiating with the doctor; she said, ‘I need you to go home and rest.’ But I was like, ‘What if I go home? I promise you I will sleep today, before I leave tomorrow,’” she recounted.

McDermott also revealed that her doctor adjusted her medications to help manage her blood pressure, but her determination to continue working pushed her to return to the set.

No number of prayers will do anything. Nature wants her gone. Did she cause it with a reckless lifestyle or she was unlucky? That is a question to the void. Bingos here don’t know anything. Fine girl, fine girl, one wouldn’t know what she’s battling.

You need to take a break from the industry to manage your health because we don't want to lose another Nollywood celeb. Your health is more important to us than your acting career. If you die, that would be causing great pain to your children. Sorry for this deadly disease that came upon you and I pray may God continue to sustain and strengthen until you win this life battle.

Re: Ufuoma Mcdermott Suffering From Kidney Disease by epainos:
Organ damage is most commonly caused by self-inflicted health complications.

The best medicine is natural food that is free of pesticides, fertilizers, and chemicals.

"Wetin we go chop" is the defense response when they tell you to eat properly. It is not expensive to inconvenience yourself by starting a garden outside of the city where you live.

If you injure yourself while hustling, the consequences will fall solely on you.

My advice to you is that if God blesses you with money but you do not have time to grow your own food, make a contract with someone trustworthy who can. Everything we eat in Nigeria is contaminated because no one regulates or monitors it. Spend more on food so you do not have to spend all of your savings on managing damaged organs. Getting a transplant may require the use of expensive medications for the rest of one's life. Such expenses can be avoided if you decide to spend more on food right now.

Tips:

1. Grass-fed livestocks with ONLY natural grown grasses and legumes. Rabbits, goats can go a long way if there is no land for cattle.
2. Birds fed on grass and bugs produce high-quality meat and eggs. Ducks eggs are super food.
3. Grass-fed cows and goats produce high-quality milk. Nigerian dwarf goats produce some of the highest quality milk in the world. Google it and you will see that many European and American farmers keep them. Make homemade yorghut and Kevir from it.
4. Cassava grown with low cyanide levels to produce garri, fufu, and band starch.
5. Naturally grown yams, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are used to produce high-quality flour for pounded yam, amala, and other products. And for goof quality flour for baking.
6. Pesticide free grains. Corn, sorghum, and millet make a fantastic combination. You can use the flour to make recipes.
7. Grow a large quantity of wheatgrass and microgreens that can be processed into powder for natural supplements.
8. Mushrooms.
9. Vegetables.....vegetables....cucumber, watermelon, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, melon, etc. If you avoid buying these items from the market, you will save yourself a lot of trouble. I smile when I see people eating vegetables and fruits at the market. Hmmm. If they know how much chemical residue is on those products, they will refuse to eat them. Farmers don't care about consumers. They spray in the evening and harvest the following morning. Hmmmmm!
10. And many more.

If you have the resources, save yourself from overspending later in life.
