Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Have you had your blodd pressure checked? It can cause swelling. Best wishes. Or maybe, you just eat too much salt. --- On Sat, 8/9/08, tempo33x <tempo33x wrote: tempo33x <tempo33x Inquiry Saturday, August 9, 2008, 2:07 PM Help!

I can however tell you that drinking more water (lots of water) will be helpful. You can also help your system by adding a bit of unsweetened pure cranberry juice to your water. Reduce your sodium intake and add natural diuretics to your daily eating habits, such as cucumbers, watermelon, garlic, apple cider vinegar, fennel, dandelion teas, green teas. There are many causes for edema, including but not limited to, high blood pressure, blood clots and certain medications. You would be best served by seeking the assessment of trained medical personel. Blessings, Cynthia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 oh good; I just wanted to make sure you were not taking Diuretics because Diuretics have a rebound effect of causing Edema Water Retention; so we can rule out your water retention being drug caused; Do you ingest: a. Mono sodium glutamate ? b: Chinese Food ? c. Eat Salt Sodium Salt depletes Potassium; Potassium is the pump which pumps water out of the cells; so you may be deficient in Potassium; Potassium is found is all fruits; Celery; Dandelion Root Powder;vegs; or you can take an otc Potassium supplement; follow label directions. b. B-Vitamins: according to my research; when the system is deficient in a certain B-Vitamin named Thiamine Vitamin B1; this causes water not to be circulated properly and the water accumulates at the ankles and legs due to gravity; normally the system carries water balanced So your problem may be A Thiamin Vitamin B1 Deficiency; B-Complex has Thiamine in ; if you are using B-Complex alreaady; please raise your amounts; Thiamine Vitamin B1 is found in 99% of B-Complex formulas; Ankle and water retention are the direct sign of a Thiamine Deficiency I would buy a good quality Thiamine and or B-Complex tablet or capsule You can ask a Health Food store rep. or ask any Pharmayc for Vitmain B-Complex with Thiamine Vitmain B1 in formula;takes 1 month , " tempo33x " <tempo33x wrote: > > I am against using drugs for anything. > > > > > > -- In , " Anne " <annroc2004@> wrote: > > > > Yes; are you on any prescription drugs and if so; which ones ?
