August,
AA> The pills are FOR more potassium, right? I'm saying it is the
AA> opposite for me; the less the better.
Correct...at times, my potassium levels have gotten low, but
thankfully, that hasn't been the case for years.
DS> Overmedicated?? We have a prescription for that. <G>
AA> I'm telling ya, my joint/muscle pain was so bad I was prepared to
AA> visit a doctor. But circumstances (laziness) stemmed the urge, and
AA> I soon made the bananas/potassium connection. Once I eliminated the
AA> bananas, I was back to pain-free. I don't take prescription pills
AA> for anything else, nor would I want to.
I've got medications for cholesterol, triglycerides, high blood
pressure, urinary health, and for pain. Thankfully, I don't need to
take a pain pill every day.
AA> There you go. It's best to avoid the foods that have the high oxylates.
Why couldn't be stuff I didn't like??
AA> I create my own versions of "frozen mw" dinners without the sodium
I used to do casseroles with macaroni and cheese, hot dogs, English
peas (since I can't eat corn due to colon issues), and cheese. That
would last me for several days.
DS> Most medications have side effects that require you taking
DS> another medication. That's why big pharma is so rich, and
DS> charges so much for the name brand meds. They "wine and
DS> dine" the entire staff at a medical clinic, then present
DS> their spiel... and also pay for radio, TV, and print
DS> advertising.
AA> Exactly. They have no interest in *not* having you as a user.
To them, "a cured patient is a lost customer".
