10 weeks out-Doc wants to put me on Vasotec, I don't want to take it

My doctor found protein in my urine and wants to put me on a low dose of vasotech-she said she thinks it could be slight scarring since I'm diabetic, but I've only been for a few years and I'm 22-with good control of my sugars so she thinks I may have been diabetic in highschool, and not known. I don't have HBP, have been off my diabetes meds since the day I came home from surgery, and I really don't want to take Vasotec, I ordered an herbal supplement that you take for 2 weeks called kidney flush to flush them and help improve kidney function you do this once a month and I am going to up my water to 120 oz of day, currently getting 56-64oz-Do you think it's ok to try the kidney flush until she tests my protein again,never had a problem with protein in the urine and I beleive in natural meds first before being thrown on a prescription-I also am not doing the protein shakes anymore just going to get my protein from food, as I know too much protein can overwork the kidneys, she does not want me to see a specialist,but wants to put me on meds-Seems strange? Do you guys think I'm doing the right thing, is my PCP overreacting with the Vasotech, my protein was 23 she said should be between 0-17? Sorry this is so long, I'm just not very favorable of prescrips if I can natural methods???Thanks in advance for your responses-Love you guys-10wks,4 days-52lbs...Tori
