Re: Support site has been updated & potassium

[Guest guest]

June,

I hope you upload that picture so everyone can see your beautiful YACHT!

That¹s such a great picture.

Low potassium is very common in RA. Some doctors believe that RA is caused

by a chronic potassium deficiency. The link has been know for a very long

time, but no studies have been done. Of course not, there would be no money

in prescribing potassium! An old wives tale which many people swear by is

to take a potato, skin and all, slice it up in a glass of water. Do this at

night, and let the potato soak in the water all night and then in the

morning, drink the water. Don¹t mix the starches up that settle to the

bottom. Some people drink it straight, others dilute it 50-50 with water.

I just down it straight. If you want to read more about this theory I have

info on the diet and nutrition page of my website. This site is also very

informative:

I think if it were truly a miracle cure, we¹d know it by now but I find it

fascinating to read about. I hope you get some answers from your doctor.

Something is really out of wack.

Glad you like the site. I have a long way to go before I¹m happy with it,

but it¹s a starting point.

Hugs,

Hi a,

Right now I am having a problem with potassium. It has happened before and

no

one ever told me it could be from the RA. Not even the Rheumy. I even asked

why I

was having this problem. Thanks for the information.
