Re: Re: Help this is scarey and Potassium:

[Guest guest]

Rogene, how are you feeling? I see many posts from you, and I will try to get through all of this mail in the next few days.

I have a question for you. We bought some Potassium pills from the druggest, and the contain collidal Silicon Dioxide....Life brand. Do you think that they would be safe to take? The tablets that I took in hospital, were Potassium salts, these are the same, only they have 40mg in each tablet...very low dose.

Honey, you have me reading the labels now...thank you...love you...Lea

Re: Re: Help this is scarey

I agree Cathie,

With prescription meds, you may have to ask the pharmacist to find out if silicone dioxide is an ingredient.

One of our sisters has two sons whose health abruptly changed from chronic illness to health after removing all silicone-related foods/supplements/meds/products from their environment.

An inadvertent use of a wart cream containing silicone dioxide was enough to send one of them to the emergency room.

Always, but always read the labels! You may not be hypersensitive to silicone products - But, if you are, it could be making you mighty sick!

Hugs,

Rogene

Lea,

If you're not hypersensitive to silicone, they shouldn't to hurt you - But silicone dioxide is completely unnecessary. It's used as a binder to hold pills together.

You can probably locate a brand online that doesn't have silicone dioxide in it . . . Then, call around until you find a store that carries it if you don't want to order online. . . Personally, I find shopping online much easier than going to stores.

I'm doing OK . . . Still trying to get my clotting time higher so I don't have another incident. I was really, really fortunate to find a doctor who specializes in blood disorders as well as cancer. . . He's doing a very thorough job in trying to understand this. . . I feel like I'm trying to catch a cold - but I've felt that way since we got here. I suspect it has something to do with the air pollution here.

I hope you're getting that leg taken care of . . . and they get on that capsule problem . . . It's unbelievable that it could go on this long!

My hubby brought home some WeightWatchers muffins last night . . . After reading the ingredients, I had a fit! . . . The picture looked so good! . . . The muffins were awful! . . I don't think he'll do that again.

I bought a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer the other day . . . The kind you can add all kinds of attachments to. . . (I'll have to order the attachments online) . . I'm looking forward to adding a flour mill and grinder with pasta dies. . . Freshly made pasta from freshly ground flour should be really good!

Love,

Rogene
