If the statins had worked for me I would have continued. Unfortunately Lipitor doubled my urine and I had persistent cough both interfering with sleep in their own ways, and eventually led to an inguinal hernia. Amlodipine dehydrated my eyes so I could not wear contacts. They did not lower my cholesterol. Many drugs do not work on me the way it does for others...

Have you been tested for Celiac Disease or have your doctors simply dismissed it offhand or not thought of it? What other prescriptions are you taking and what are the side effects? You've been complaining about what appears to be ongoing gut issues since at least 2003. If you cannot get tested, try a Gluten Free Diet for at least a month. it isn't that hard...

Celiac is a disease of malabsorption. There are seven vitamins and minerals that are directly affected by the shriveled villi. Once you start throwing up and and limiting your diet you are at risk for others. Eat lots of fruits and salads and raw vegetables. Potassium is the mineral most needed by our bodies (3510 mg/day according to WHO and 4700 mg/day according...

Saturated fatty acids in general, and palmitic acid (C16:0) in particular, are harmful in part because they elevate LDL cholesterol and atherosclerosis risk7. Dietary stearic acid (C18:0), however, does not increase atherosclerosis risk, and, if anything, actually reduces LDL cholesterol7,8,9,10. Indeed, increased levels of circulating C18:0 lipids are associated...

"Milk derived from cows fed pasture-based diets, is reported to have a higher fat and protein content with improved nutritional status (higher PUFA [polyunsaturated fatty acid] concentrations and better n-6:n-3 ratio) compared to milk that is derived from a TMR feeding system. Although TMR diets might provide improved ruminal conditions to enhance milk fat...

Can Gene Editing Make Wheat and Peanuts Less Allergenic?

thanks for starting this topic. Back in the sixties, people in the hospital on intravenous feedings were getting non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Eventually it was discovered to be caused by lack of choline. Now they add separate choline to the intravenous feeding. The choline clears the fat. Low fat is a big scam. Same about egg...

188 grams potato chips = 1000 calories (50% RDA) = 0.4mg thiamine (33% RDA), 30% iron, 28% magnesium. 41% phosphorus, 48% potassium, 49% copper, 35% manganese, 32% vitamin C, 56% niacin, 36% vitamin B6 pantothenic acid, 59% B6, 131% vitamin E, 35% vitamin K, 45% carbohydrates. The potassium to sodium ratio is 2248:991 (2.3:1). There is good stuff in potatoes...

The issue here is that doctors like to prescribe blood pressure meds that are potassium conserving which overrides the body's normal control.

The FDA has a 100mg restriction on potassium supplements because of evidence that it causes intestinal lesions and the law does not allow them to outright ban supplements. 100mg of the RDI of 4700mg is negligible and your money is better spent on food that has potassium. A 28g serving of potato chips (one ounce) has 350 mg potassium. At 160 calories/ serving...

Glad you have a doctor open to alternatives. If you want to send a day's food log I can send you the results. Or if you want I can send you the spreadsheet. I created it in Open Office but should work in any spreadsheet program. All my B's are good by supplement or diet including B5 essential to the Krebbs Cycle. My serum levels are all normal except lipids...

Posterboy. Even with sufficient ingestion of thiamine and magnesium and half a dozen more, and a gluten-free diet I was stuck at a plateau. Not getting sicker, but not getting healthier. That left potassium as the only mineral that I could not supplement to guaranty 100% RDA. It is also the mineral that our bodies require the largest quantity. Using label...

I don't doubt it at all.

Thiamine is definitely one of the vitamins that needs to be targeted by anyone recovering from Celiac Disease. Once that has been addressed there is still the fact that most of the world population is significantly deficient in potassium intake, and there is no safe supplement, high BP and other health issues are on the rise as a result. "For the participants...

I've been cold intolerant all my life. Until recently it was not unusual for me to turn the heat on at 78 degrees or take a hot shower to warm up my core. For the past year I've been making sure to get 5 grams of potassium daily along with 100% each day of the other vitamins and minerals. The net result is that my tolerance to cold has improved and my blood...

When I first started gluten free, I had extremely vivid dreams of buying and eating dozens of Dunkin' Donuts. The following week my 20 year, pint of vodka a day, addiction to alcohol was gone.

I Your short trial of a limited gluten free diet has given you the answer. Your life depends on it. In the U.S. the first ingredient in Soy Sauce is wheat. Soy is the second of the two ingredients, which makes American Soy sauces at least 51% wheat. Tamari is soy sauce made of 100% fermented soy. Make it your choice. BYOSS (bring your... -
No, I don't remember reading any. I do know that, with the excess pressure in my gut which at the time looked like a 1970 Biafran baby's, then the additional pressure from the cough, caused an umbilical hernia to pop out like a bazooka bubble gum bubble. My response at the time was "this can't be good". The inguinal hernia, I noticed pain in the inguinal...

So would a barium x-ray. "Doctors don’t know why most hiatal hernias happen". To me, that is code for nutritional problems and doctors don't do nutrition. I've had two hernias. The first, in 2014 was an umbilical hernia, from coughing while lying on my back while bloated with Biafra Baby Belly, just like my son had as an infant. He was biopsy diagnosed c...

Gluten causes the villi to shrivel, causing malabsorption of certain essential minerals and vitamins. Then secondary problems, like diahrrea and anorexia cause loss or malabsorption of other essentials. Then also consider the ones deficient in the general population: potassium, iodine and lithium. Add these together and you have malnutrition; even though...

As a rule of thumb, I have found that if I get 5 grams of potassium in my diet everyday, on between 1500 to 3000 calories a day, most of the other vitamins and minerals are also above the minimum RDA and my health is steadily improving. The serum potassium test, for example, only indicates that your kidneys are working. If you are hypo or hyper, it is either...
