Re: Is there a procedure to determine whether we absorb minerals and

[Guest guest]

I think that in addition to impacting the kidneys you can also impact

the liver [and probably other organs]. We take our livers for granted,

but if they fail our life expectancy become minuscule.

I am very much aware that an overload of minerals can cause problems. I have

kidney disease - Medullary Sponge Kidney - it causes stones, which are

horrendously painful, which I know from frightful personal experience - it was a

nightmare, only waking up just made it worse. No, I suffer from a deficiency,

and it was that deficiency that caused my RLS. Now that I take good,

bio-available multi-mineral, and with food, so that it has a much better chance

of absorption, my RLS is a thing of the past. I drink plenty of water for my

kidney ailment and also use lemonade now and then and watermelon and pineapple

also for my kidneys. I am also treating my asthma with a good B-complex with

extra B-6 and my usual Fall symptoms of horrible breathing problems, gasping for

air, running to the doctor, getting on more meds, are now a thing of the past.

This is the first Fall in literally years and years that I can even RUN up the

stairs or for the train or bus and not

have an asthma attack! I found out about the B's helping asthma from some of my

old nutritional books where studies on B-6 and B-complex were done wtih

asthmatic children. Doing this has given me WONDERFUL freedom from my usual Fall

asthma nightmare. I had come to dread Autumn, even though I love it for its

beautiful colors, because I would always be my sickest during Autumn. Freedom,

glorious freedom!

I can relate to the kidney stones, as I've had them. I agree: They

hurt. I remember with the first attack calling the doctor while curled

up in a fetal position on the floor. I really had no idea as to what

was happening. But I kept adding more and more junk food to my diet so

they went away! <---- Okay, bad joke... I hope neither of us have to

undergo that again.

I also suffered asthma attacks from childhood to the age of 59, and

haven't had an attack since I turned 60 almost 8 years ago. I guess it

was more junk food...

I also have allergic rhinitis [plain old hay fever], but most of the

sneezing has gone away. I still have a major problem with itching in

the inner corners of my eyes, and that can trigger sneezing if I rub

them. I'm also having a bit of a problem with sneezing now related to

cold weather. And in Florida anytime a tee shirt isn't enough clothing

that's considered cold weather [say, below 70 degrees! {ggg}].

We'll have to disagree about Brownstein too. I believe he has finally

recanted on the ridiculous idea of the iodine skin patch test, but he

promoted it for many years. I just don't see any way he could be so

ignorant. He _has_ to know far more biology than I; so he has to know

that physically it's bogus.

Gracia, the way I found out he no longer recommends EITHER iodine test

[skin or urine] was in an article that YOU quoted to this group. He

said the skin loading test was not sufficiently accurate [a massive

understatement]; and that one might as well treat with iodine without

bothering with the urine test if the indicators were that it was

needed. Thus he stated he did not recommend either.

Or was that not Brownstein after all???
