Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Posted November 13, 2001 Hi there, does anyone know of a good diuretic ?? Have been trying to get rid of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia for about 6 months now using homeopathy, unfortunately, one (or more) of the remedies caused water retention, and in about a 2-3 week period, i put on 28 lbs. I have tried parsley tea/capsules, Vitamin B6, and celery capsules, none of them worked. I am currently taking, Udo's oil, 2T. Flax-seed oil, 2T. Omega 3 fish oil caps 1000mg, 1x. Vitamin B complex forte, 1x. Vitamin B12, 1x. Cod liver oil caps, 1x. Magnesium chelate 750, 1x. Essential oil of cloves, 2 drops, and lastly, as from yesterday, Kombucha tea. Was also taking kefir daily, till my grains packed a sad. I also take, for 5 days a month, double the dose of Acidophilus caps. Sure hope someone can help, as i would like to shed some of this weight before Christmas. Regards, Dorothy. Quote
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2001 Report Posted November 14, 2001 Yes I have a good list Dandilion, 2T lemon in a glass of water 3 times a day, Nettle tea twice a day and corn silk try and one of these or a combination of any of them. I have used all and know they work. For your arthritis take a third of a teaspoon of ground ginger 3 times a day and keep going befor you quit for at least 2 months. Ginger makes a lovely tea sweetened with a little raw honey. Peg Find the one for you at Personals http://personals. Quote

My hair has stopped falling out so much, and my nails look good!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Posted November 19, 2001 >>>>>METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE Dear Marianne, thank you, i was the one who originally started this post. Are you sure the above is not rocket fuel. (hee hee hee) <G> I actually asked at the h/f shop on sunday if they had any msm she said yes, but that it certainly wasn't a diuretic. So far i am having tea's made from s/nettle, dandelion, and parsley, plus some gr/ginger, then sweetened with honey. But it is NOT working, i have put on another 4 lb, that is a whopping 32 lb in all. Don't suppose you know of something that might help, do you ?? PLEASE !!!!!! Regards, Dorothy. Quote

PLEASE !!!!!! > Low carb diets can be diuretic... hrmm, what else? Are you having any other difficulties such as fatigue or hair loss?

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Posted November 19, 2001 Dear Dorothy, Somewhere back aways I think I saw a message in which you mentioned fibromyalgia. If so you should be careful should you consider taking potassium supplements. A woman was paralyzed by supplements even though her blood potassium was normal (5.0 meq). I suspect that when magnesium is deficient the blood potassium rises even though the cell potassium is low, and the body " thinks " it has hyperkalemia. Since it can take up to 6 months to relieve a magnesium deficiency even in normal people, I suspect that one should precede potassium with magnesium, and maybe never excess potassium if you have fibromyalgia. Sincerely, Charles Weber Quote
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Posted November 19, 2001 Hi Dorothy Sometime back I remember a study done (sorry I cannot quote it) about wheat and fluid retention. In the study, a number of women were taken off wheat for 3 months. After 3 months they were given one piece of toast at supper time. A good number of them had got up the next morning to discover that they had put on 3-4 kilos over night! Just a thought that you might like to consider.

PLEASE !!!!!! > Get your thyroid checked - I started to gain weight just like you and it is down to a thyroid problem (they cannot tell me what yet but I am reliably informed by one of the groups that it could be hashimoto, both hyper & hypothyroidism) - have you tried a homeopath?
