Guest guest Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hello; Hawthorn Berry is good; Diuretics deplete Potassium (K) and Thiamin Vit. B1; so these supplements must be replenished; concerning the edema and the water pills; did you know " water pills; aka Diuretics were discovered by Dr. Loop; find out if she is on regular diuretics or Dr. Loop Directics; if she is on regular diuretic; she should be taking Potassium supplements prescribed to her by the Docs; if she is on Loop diuretics; she shouuld be taking Potassium AND Thiamin Vitami B1 supllemental tablets; prescibed by Doc is bestp If you were to take: Potassium pills; Thiamin Vit. B1 tablets; and other nutrients she should see the swelling in the legs diminish; ONLY Thismnine Vitamin B1 can do this; I know how ridiculous this sounds but think about this ONLY Vitamin C Ascorbate can cure Scurvy; and by the same token only thiamin can cure this; called " caridac beri beri; THE GOOD NEWS: This condition is easily corrected (with Thiamin B1) IF the thimaine therapy is administered ; Vitamin C should also be begun by mouth; I'd begin the Vit. C today; unless she is allergic; I would buy either Ester C or a furit extract to mix with water such as Acai Berry or BlackBerry extract and water; Then I would add a possible green drink or hot broth (no salt) daily; SALT RETAINS WATER so reduce Salt asap; Potassium is the Pump which pumps excess water out of the cells; Potassium is depleted by Diuretics; Thiamine builds up the areas responsible for preventing excess water from going into the cells in your MIL legs; Thiamin + Potassium + vitamin C I do not recommend the Thiamine or Potassium unless from the Doctor; ps another name for this is " congestive heart disease; " treatable w/B1 th irony is: Vit. B1 prevents congestive heart disease; yet diuretic deplete Thiamin Vit. B1; so a diuretics don't help CHD at all; I would seek out an alternative md; a reg. MD can adminster Thiamine at any time There are thiamine shots; pills tablets; but the shots can cause allergic reaction like aspiin can so i only recommend thaimine b1 tablets;; take one 100 mgs. pill for 7 days; b , " Belial the Uncouth " <bobdeinlein wrote: > > Hi everyone.
