Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Can anyone give suggestions on what to do about water retention? I have been suffering with this problem ever since I was given steroids as a way to control my asthma, myjunior year in hihg school. that is about 12 years now. I have been asthmatic since the age of 2. the problem i have is that I have been to doctors and they cannot help me with the problem. I told them that I know it is because of the steroids that I am retainig fluids. I have decided not to take anymore steroids. And today is my second day of the 21 day challenge. Chaning to a raw food way of life I feel is my only resort. Thanks for all of your input and support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Congrats on being active in your health. You may notice some wonderful suprises. My four year old son had asthma about two years ago and being loaded down w/meds and breathing treatments. The symptoms were gone after three weeks of a vegetarian diet (fish 2-three times a week). When he went all raw about a year ago he had two periods lasting a couple of days each were he had those same asthma like synptoms. He ate plenty of olives and fresh figs when we could get them and we would give him kiwi's and oranges to encourage the old mucuss to come out. Lobelia and Mullien leaf were also two helpful herbs. Maybe a good holistic nutritionalist or naturopath can get a regimen that's compatible w/you. It wouldn't suprise me if the whole thing isn't gone by the end of your 21 day raw. peace and encouragement, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
