advice on water weight gain/RT3

[Guest guest]

Hi Val-

I don't have a question for once. (ha, ha)

I went to see my chinese herbalist this weekend and she gave me some

advice on the water weight gain I have been experiencing while I work

thru clearing Rt3. She said that 8-10 glasses of water is not for

everyone all of the time, and when you are going to the bathroom all

of the time it is causing too much stress on the kidneys. She asked

that I cut my water consumption in 1/2 for the next couple of weeks

and see how my body is doing.

So I did yesterday and along with her tea noticed less of a bloat. I

tried the OTC diuretics and they did nothing last week and the water

has been unbareable. ( I am up 2 sizes from last year.)

Just thought that for those of us who are experiencing this right

now, it is worth trying to cut down to see if it helps. (In my case,

salt, potassium, and other minerals were not helping with the water

or high pulse.) I have also lowered my t3 by 5 mcg this week.
