Re: [TMIC] TAMIFLU....and....ANTIOXIDANTS
Hi Barbara ~ You picked up on the same thing I did when I first read this article I was thinking, CoolI can eat all of the popcorn I want since I can eat my weight in that stuff. LOL..! I do go easy on the butter...and use no salt with potassium chloride since I now have high B.P. Can't tell the difference between that and regular sea salt. On the supplements I have to disagree with your old PCP we definitely need supplements, reason being, it's impossible to get all of our vitamins/minerals from our foodespecially these days. For example, these so-called vitamin enhanced cerealswhat a joke that is! They spray a thin spray of vitamins over the cereal and then they can call it enhanced or whatever word they are using these days. There is no way a person can get , for example, the vitamin D3 they need from their foods no matter how well they eat. There just isn't enough in our milk, cereal, and so on to give us the levels we need. You would have to eat five bowls of cereal, a couple of gallons of milkwell, you get my drift. I would have had fun with your old PCP girlfriend. :-) Love ya, Lynn In a message dated 9/7/2009 12:33:06 A.M.

That's what my doctor was referring to when he said that we shouldn't expect a vitamin to do it for us, that we have to use good food to nourish the body first.? But yes, I agree that supplements have their place.? But so many take it to the extreme.? And, companies are getting rich on supplements as well as drugs.? That?Tamiflu just scares the heck out of me!?

Re: [TMIC] TAMIFLU....and....ANTIOXIDANTS...and.....SALT
Hi Barbara ~ On the salt question.I would think the salt I use would be fine for anyone that wants to cut their salt intake for any reason. I always used Sea Salt until I got high B.P. I believe it was Dr. Rosenfeld on Sunday Housecalls on Fox News that I heard about this salt fromI know it was a doctor and am pretty sure it was him. He stated specifically that if you're going to use any salt substitute make sure it has potassium chloride in itbut for the life of me I can't remember his reason right now and don't know what I did with those notes from that show. Aarrgh..! Before using a salt substitute you should check with your physician if you have diabetes, heart or kidney disease or are receiving medical treatment (aren't we all..?) That's what it says on the container.they always have to state things like that to cover themselves from possible lawsuits. NOPE.I did not ask my doctor first. :-) I figured I'd already heard it from a doctor so why ask another. Hugs, Lynn In a message dated 9/7/2009 3:07:55 P.M.

Wow Cherylcan't believe your doctor is trying to do that to yousounds to me like those pharmaceutical salesmen have been talking to him about that expensive med.! Good for you for not picking it up. I wouldn't either! No wonder your BP is higher when you go in to see your doc. That's pretty normal though. most people have a higher reading at the dr's. I haven't heard of that bp medI'll have to look it up in my book. I was on Diovanonly 40 mg a day.. you sure are taking a high amount. Have you had high bp for a long time.? I learned something about high bp recently..when we get older it's natural for our blood pressure to be higher. Another thing..it's not so much our blood pressure that we should be concerned about..it's our blood pulse. Subtract your low number from your high number you want the number to be as close to 60 as possible. The higher you get to 100, it means you have more artery damage. I hope your number is 60. :-) ~ Lynn In a message dated 9/7/2009 3:48:32 P.M.

I will try very hard not to ask too many questions and will try to keep them fairly intelligent. Of course, no one is perfect! Janice
