Medical Efficacy of Moringa Oleifera in the treatment of ESRD?

I heard over a local radio station that Moringa could indeed cure ESRD even those patients already undergoing dialysis. Is this true? Which part of the plant would be used? How is it used?

Whoever said it could cure anything was misleading….

I did a lit review for the last few minutes, and out of everything that turned up (All of ONE study pertained to renal function) – - it appears to be as good at preventing kidney stones as the drug cystone – - in rats.
There has never been a human trial on this remedy for a kidney condition.

Thats a far cry from curing anything, especially end stage renal disease – I would be leary of giving a herbal extract to anyone with ESRD, simply by virtue of the fact that you could be stressing an organ that is already on its last leg.

Anyhow, here is the abstract of study

In India, drumstick (Moringa oleifera Lam. (Moringaceae)) is commonly used as a phytotherapeutic agent. The effect of oral administration of aqueous and alcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera root-wood on calcium oxalate urolithiasis has been studied in male Wistar albino rats. Ethylene glycol feeding resulted in hyperoxaluria as well as increased renal excretion of calcium and phosphate. Supplementation with aqueous and alcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera root-wood significantly reduced the elevated urinary oxalate, showing a regulatory action on endogenous oxalate synthesis. The increased deposition of stone forming constituents in the kidneys of calculogenic rats was also significantly lowered by curative and preventive treatment using aqueous and alcoholic extracts. The results indicate that the root-wood of Moringa oleifera is endowed with antiurolithiatic activity.

Be especially careful when considering remedies for those who are weakened by illness.
