The pills are FOR more potassium, right? I'm saying it is the
opposite for me; the less the better.

Arthritis is the result of inflammation. What causes inflammation? -
the kinds of foods we eat. For me, too much potassium would make me
feel like I have arthritis. It may be worth researching the foods
that are best for reducing inflammation.
This one has been around a few years, but a good goto book:

I'm telling ya, my joint/muscle pain was so bad I was prepared to
visit a doctor. But circumstances (laziness) stemmed the urge, and
I soon made the bananas/potassium connection. Once I eliminated the
bananas, I was back to pain-free. I don't take prescription pills
for anything else, nor would I want to.

There you go. It's best to avoid the foods that have the high oxylates.

I create my own versions of "frozen mw" dinners without the sodium
problem. Frozen vegs + frozen baked meat = easy mw dinner. Just add
olive oil + butter and spices to taste. A yam comes out very nice
in the mw = better for ya than a starchy white potato with sodium
gravy (found in commercial dinners)

Seriously though, we are all either looking at the source of the

eat.

Exactly. They have no interest in *not* having you as a user.
