water retention

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

 

It was suggested to me to drink lots of water with lemon to act as a natural

diuretic for water retention.

 

Hope it helps for you!

water retention

 

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.

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.
