Water retention

[Guest guest]

Phil, it could be an electrolyte imbalance and sea salt is helping. I'll

look into that for me. Maybe a litle homemade gatorade (water, salt,

potassium and a splash of sugar). God, I drink a gallon per day already, no

way can I get more...I take 15 trips to the toilet per day already. ;-)

I am on the same thing for water and now that I am treating my Adrenal

Fatigue and low Thyroid I have neen adding Sea Salt I put it into my 24oz

bottle of water 1/2 tsp full. I am always told I am dehydrated when I had

bladder infections one after the other did lot of urine test and each time I

was told to drink more water. Hell my feet and hands are bloated like

balloons and they tell me to drink more water I am dehydrated. See it was

right in there face and they missed it. Now that I am taking Sea Salt and

getting my low Cortisol and Thyroid treated my problem with holding water is

gone. I even had them test my Aldosterone and Renin on a blood test it was

ok think God.

I take a diuretic (Dyazide) for blood pressure, and even with that, I'm

frequently carrying this big extra load of water. I can tell by looking at

my feet and ankles and face. My feet are like big sloshy water balloons

Anyone else in the same boat? Any ideas how to deal with this other than

taking extra diuretic pills?

Just remember it's has to be Sea Salt. Don't do gatorade just add Sea Salt I

use the Himalayan Pink fine raw salt taste's good and is good for you.

Hi Dave,

Yes it is exactly the same for me, I too take a diuretic, but

whenever I have mentioned it to any Drs it is always shoved to the

side and not acted upon, like you some days are worse than others.

Phil, I said " homemade " gatorade, not the commercial stuff. I add some

salt, potassium, fresh lemon, and sometimes a touch of sugar to water to get

a healthy electrolyte drink.

I think it's important to include potassium in your concoction. Increased

salt consumption will lead to increased urination, which will deplete

potassium in the body...

Thats ok I just am always told when I do urine test that I am dehydrated now I

know why low cortisol and Thyroid levels will do this and Sea Salt helps. My

Electrolytes are allways good on my blood work. For me it's all about the

pituitary and the low messages it puts out.

Here is an article I had on my computer. More to follow These are a few clues that your body is retaining more than its usual amount of water—a symptom doctors call edema. Normally, your body's cells are bathed in water. There's water inside the cells and a certain amount of water around the cells. The amount of water—both inside and outside the cells—is regulated by hormones, sodium and the kidneys. When there's too much sodium in your body—from eating a high-salt diet, for example—your blood becomes saltier and water is drawn from your cells to dilute it. Thirst prompts you to drink more water. Steroid medications can also cause puffiness. These drugs cause the kidneys to hold on to sodium. Some people's bodies seem to retain water for no apparent reason, according to Tifft, M.D., associate professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. The puffiness may come and go in cycles, he says, and

may be related to hormone fluctuations. It can affect both men and women. In women it usually occurs in the week or so before menstruation. During this time, the surge in estrogen triggers the production of aldosterone. This hormone makes the kidneys retain water, which tends to collect in the breasts and abdomen. Some women gain several pounds during this time. Other women simply experience a shift in the distribution in water with no weight gain. Slacks and blouses often fit more snugly, however. Water retention also occurs among women past menopause who take estrogen replacement hormones. In late pregnancy, many women find that their legs feel like heavy water balloons. That's because the enlarging abdomen presses on the vein that returns fluids back to the heart. Fluids then pool in the legs. In some cases, water retention signals something more serious. If your skin remains plump or your finger leaves an indentation when you poke your skin, you

may have a problem with your heart, kidneys, liver or thyroid. Symptom Relief If you're often puffy, the following steps may bring relief. Skip the junk food. Too much sodium in your blood can waterlog the tissues, so reducing your salt intake makes sense, says Dr. Tifft. Besides avoiding obviously salty fries, pepperoni pizza and convenience foods, cut down on foods containing hidden salt. These include some salad dressings, cereals and canned soups. Become a label reader. Get your feet pumping. Walking, bicycling and tennis are all activities that help pump out water and other fluids that can pool in your legs and ankles, according to Lark, M.D., director of the PMS and Menopause Self-Help Center in Los Altos, California, and author of Premenstrual Syndrome Self-Help Book and

Menopause Self-Help Book. Take the load off your legs. If you have swollen calves, elevate your legs for a few minutes each day, says Dr. Lark. Lie on the floor on your back facing a wall with your legs raised and your buttocks and hips as close to the wall as possible. Your legs should be touching the wall and extended in a wide "V" formation. Breathe easily. Hold the position for five minutes. If you're pregnant, lie on your side with your feet propped up on a stack of pillows. Ask about your medications. Give your doctor a list of all medications you are currently taking—both prescription and over-the-counter—and ask whether any alterations are appropriate. Switching to lower-dose estrogen in your hormone replacement therapy, for example, could reduce fluid retention, says Dr. Lark. If you're taking steroids, be sure to let your doctor know about your water-retention problem. Dig deeper for clues.

If you continue to have general swelling despite these measures, you may need a blood pressure check and also kidney and liver function tests, says Dr. Tifft. If tests reveal that your problem is caused by high blood pressure, you may be given a diuretic, such as hydrocholothiazide. These drugs force your kidneys to pump water and sodium out of the tissues into the urine, thus reducing blood volume and lowering pressure. Initially, these drugs can easily drain away two pounds or more of fluid daily, but this effect tends to wear away with time. Diuretics, however, are not "casual weight-loss tools," says Dr. Tifft. "They have potent side effects and need to be closely monitored and carefully prescribed. You don't take them to lose a quick five pounds so you can fit into a dress."

I have had retention water problems for a long time, However, it gets better and worse in cycles. Lately is almost all the time. I'm in menopause.

I'm going to eat more bananas and raisins. I often eat cabbage.

I often put some cranberries in the blender with a few grapes and drink it without filtering.

Thanks,

Now that you mention almonds, do you know if they already start pasteurizing the almonds?

If so, do you know where can I find raw almonds?

Re: Water retention

If it is your blood pressure,, you mighy try Hawthorn, but be careful as it can lower BP as well as normalize it... If it were me I would try just a little. It works better for HBP.

Hawthorns regulating action on the heart acts by normalizing blood pressure and strengthening the heart muscle.Hawthorn is an excellent herb for relaxing nervous tension brought on by stress of job, family worries and any other stressful conditions. It is also an aid in sleeping well.

Usual Method of Prep

Usual Dosage

Tea:Add 1/2 cup flowers to 1cup of boiling waterSteep for 5 to 10 minutes

Take:1 to 1/2 cups per day. Sweeten with honey if desired.

Decoction:Use 1 tsp crushed fruit to1/2 cup cold waterLet stand for 6 or 8 hoursThen bring quickly to a boil, strain

Take:1 to 1/2 cups day in mouthful dosages spread out through the day

These might be better trys first

Home Remedies for Low Blood Pressure

Tips 1:Soak 32 small raisins in a ceramic bowl full of water over night. Chew them one by one first thing in the morning. Chew well and drink the water also.Tips 2:Soak 7 almonds in water over night. Peel them and grind to a smooth paste. Add in a glass of milk and boil. Drink warm. Tips 3:Crush 10-15 holy basil leaves (tulsi) and strain through a clean muslin cloth. Mix with 1 tsp honey. Have it the first thing in the morning.

You have to go directly to the grower and you can buy 100# (or less) from their roadside stands. They will not ship anything raw. Not even the guy I've been buying almonds from for over 7 years. 100# every year I thought because he knew me, but nooooooooooooooooo............

You can try calling them and quizzing them very closely. I would just google "raw almonds California" and get some growers and just start calling them. Or you could call Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida and ask where they get theirs and possibly get an order in with theirs.

How many days did you put on a castor pack? Essiac has been know to cure some tumors... I would use internal and external both. SuziBlua Birdo <bluabirdo@...> wrote: I tried pure castor oil pack for a long time. I didn't know about essiac. Thanks,

I deeply regret it because I did it with much trust.

I had this problem, my doctor put me on water tablets which helped a lot a

first.....felt I was peeing for Britain!!. I find one of the best things to

help it now (after 3 years on tablets) is to rest and keep your feet up for a

while, eg: go to bed early. The tablets still are doing their stuff...but

putting your feet up really helps with the swelling.

Take good care...I hope this has helped

their normal sizes and I was sure my hart had something to do with it. I'm

not over weight and I workout 4 times a week. Now I can clam down, and go to

the doc for some water pills.. Thanks]

I have been back on a gym routine for two weeks, not nearly enough to impact. I

soak and entire cotton shirt and drip mad sweat. I am going to exp with some

potassium loading and dandelion extracts/tea (the only natural diuretic that

does deplete potassium). I wish I had a home tester to daily test potassium,

calcium, magnesium and sodium balancing.

look to alternatives, more water, add pure lemon to water and get a potassium

baseline first.

I drank a gallon a day of water and just like you I sweat that much out.

When you say dandelion extracts/tea or you talking about the weed that grows

in my yard. I go to the health food store and see if I can find it. Have you

guys tried YERBA Mate, Not much on the taste but it works...
